like microbes to be annihilated even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards juice is still pervasive. the history of anti semitism starts july 2nd on d w ah ah, this is dw use live from berlin, ukraine's president rules out any talks with moscow anytime soon. as russia pours its resources into its dawn, bast offensive volota mirrors. lensky calls the russian aggression and evil that can only be contained on the battlefield. and germany is premier global large show

in the city of castle. the documentary covers up one of its works after complaints of anti semitic stereotypes. ah, unexplained sir, welcome to the program. as the war and ukraine enters its 5th month president vladimir zalinski is dispelling hopes of negotiations with russia any time soon in his latest video dress. so once he called russia's aggression, an evil that can only be contained on the battlefield, ukrainian authority say they're racing to evacuate people as russia steps. it's tact in the eastern don't bass region. they said rush as advantage and arms and equipment was making the situation very difficult, but in a slightly address on monday. so lensky remained defiant. yes, yes. you put a bunch of rossi. russia is very nervous about our activity. normal to look,

there's be more shelling of ha keith and odessa to have be more brutal of salts in the don bus says little, this is an evil that can only be defeated on the battlefield. fishing will were defending lucy chanced and 7 o 2, and yet only this whole region is the most difficult ship. these are the hardest fights can evil only be defeated on the battlefield. i asked our correspondent and keith nick connelly, what to make of those fighting words from a president whose army is running out of weapons. that's definitely the case, but i think that was a signal here from key of also to the west and particularly to western european countries that ukraine is basically not gonna be willing to talk to russia until those russian troops are forced back to where they were on february 24th, the beginning of this war. there had been different fears hearing here that there would be an attempt by maybe france, germany, italy, when we had that visit of the leaders 3 leaders to care of last week,

trying to force ukraine to some kind of compromises to basically end this war and hurry to end this, a spike in energy prices in basic get back to businesses normal with russia at the cost of ukraine and its territorial integrity. that it ukraine feels vindicates and relieved that that didn't happen, that they were able to make their case. and with support from the u. s. and the u. k. prevent a kind of diplomatic initiative from western european countries into forcing ukraine, basically to play to russia's terms. but it is definitely a very difficult situation for ukraine. right now. they are able to hold up front lines and russia is making gains, but very modest gains. but that are disproportion terms of the results as russia has some say, 10 to one in terms of artillery. that is definitely, that is costing you 20 lugs and nick you were mentioning b e u. and of course, there was the troika of european union leaders promised to support candidacy status for the for ukraine to the european union as a decision coming up thursday friday. howard membership, when it comes,

change the change the country and what is the candidacy mean to to zalinski ukrainians? o. c. membership is something that a vast majority of ukrainian citizens want all the sociology shows that massive majority for that. here it would basically end decades long speculation about where you crane is going for the most of its independence. ukraine is basically been a buffer zone between russia and western europe and the u. and bases been spent spending its time rather than kind of developing its economy, stuck with these kind of geopolitical questions. so that would put those to bed once in and of cbs huge economic boost and open the door to a huge investment in this country that has historically underperformed. and it still has some of the lowest average incomes in europe. and even just being a candidate would already put ukraine on a roadmap, forced reforms that would bring in investments way before eventual membership. we've seen that in poland, in the baltic states in neighboring romania. so even before you can becomes a member that would have an impact, it would be felt by ordinary ukrainians. pretty soon. ok in the connelly reporting

force from ki, thanks for that. here in germany, the countries institute for peace and conflict research have just released their latest piece report. it analyzes the war and ukraine and offers advice to the german government on how to deal with the consequences to be used to be ill as professor of international relations. and one of the authors of the report, welcome professor, you say in this report that more pressure is needed to bring the warring sides to the negotiating table. what kind of pressure are you suggesting and who should be pressured? well, actually russia should be pressured, and the pressure is 3 fold. we have to deliver weapons to the ukraine. this is a necessity to, to stop the russian invasion. secondly, we have good chances that in the mid term perspective, sanctions will change the behavior of russia. because the costs are high, and then we have to isolate russia. in particular,

it's very important to alter the position of china. and what role do you think the german government can or, or should play in ending the war and ukraine? the german government, 1st of all, is part of nato and the you and has to go to work in this context. but i think it's quite important that chancellor all of shoulds maintained the contact to president putin because we have to think of an end of the war that will take place at the negotiation table. and germany plays quite a constructive role in not a stopping all the communication with russia, which would be disaster because in the end there will be no victory. but in the end of the war at the negotiation table, a professor you write in your report that the russian war of aggression in ukraine has caused the european security architecture to collapse. how can it be rebuilt?

well, we have to be very, very modest in our goals. first of all, we have to find the solution for the ukraine may be to freeze the conflict and then it will be very necessary to establish monitoring mechanisms and also to provide suit you. it guarantees i do not think that we will have a peace order in the near future. but the security order, which is based on a minimum of confidence and also of monitoring. and in particular it's very important to prevent an escalation in the nuclear field. and just the last question may that there are a lot of other crises around the world today. how worried are you that they are not getting the attention you need because of the war and ukraine? i am bore, eat, 1st of all because of the food security of many countries is in danger and the international community has to react. but secondly, we see

a very high number of conflicts in sub saharan africa and particularly in molly, but also in other countries. and there is the real danger that the western community will not provide the necessary means to stabilize these countries, but also not to take undertake diplomatic initiatives. ok, professor to be as to be a co author of the latest german peace report released today. thanks so much. thank you. since the beginning of the war volunteers across ukraine have been doing their part for the war effort, summer turning to recycling, to help save soldiers lies. to find out more about how it's done. d. w to rebecca readers travel the southern ukraine to the region around michel life. this all junkyard is a junk count no more. when war broke out, volunteers took over the space and turned it into a military workshop. dimmer is

and like holy cross, ne, if a dog after 2 o'clock, work fireproof material usually used to make sofas forms the outer shell of the vests, just pop the pipes inside these purpose built pockets and hey, presto, westfield, pretty good, once you get it on at quite comfortable and much lighter than you might expect, much lighter than some of the press fest i've even had to wear in the field. but the real test, of course, is going to be whether or not he can stop and bullet the plates to flick shots from an a k 47 standard equipment for the russian army. what, what's equal, oh, wow. or the vin? said it, it was his outside, he shows his old tractor wheels that will go eaten to some of the vessels.

soldiers arrived to pick up some for the comrades, what they learn, what kind of bullets their new body armor can stop with. a quick trip into the shop to take what they need. then they're off to the front lines. we get to save lives made in ukraine. let's take a quick look now at some of the other stories making news. this, our british rail workers are staging their biggest national strike in 30 years. that works will largely be brought to a standstill on tuesday, thursday and saturday. this week. some $40000.00 staff have walked off a job demanding higher pay in england, scotland and wales. nearly half a 1000000 people have been evacuated in southern china as the heaviest rains and decades wreak havoc. red alert warnings were issued a tuesday with 4 casters predicting more heavy downpours. last summer. catastrophic flooding in central china killed almost 400 people. south korea has launched its

but at the current show, one of those works has now been hidden from public view. a giant banner depicting anti semitic stereotypes to portray jewish israelis has been condemned by officials and organizers. this is the image that is causing widespread controversy. a hooked nose, fangs and bloodshot eyes. paired with the side, carls traditionally warned by ultra orthodox jews. the image is part of a work of art by the indonesian collective tart, p a. t i. it took center stage at the document to holland castle. these, this building does is he had skate. this illustration clearly has anti semitic imagery. there's protection against anti semitism, as well as protection against racism and any form of misanthropy of fundamental human values. lenses and if those values aren't respected, then the freedom of expression in art has its limitations. fly ideally gunther in the same work of art, a man with a pigs. nose is depicted as

a member of massage. he israeli foreign intelligence service. this too is an anti semitic stereotype. the israeli embassy reacted by tweeting documents promotes global style propaganda. mary mandel is the director of the anne frank educational center. he's equally appalled and demands that the artwork be removed by the ship. and we also need to question exactly how such a picture was created in the 1st place, and then how it was allowed such a prominent place in the exhibition or the ins on holeman entered dots in there, i watched him in the lower part of the artwork, our depictions of massacres and genocides, the holocaust is notably missing. the central kinds of jews has been highly critical of this. they said, documentary organizer is guaranteed there would be nothing anti semitic in this year's exhibition. clearly the organizers have failed when it comes to the topic of anti semitism. the exhibition has denied any connection with anti semitism and

apologize for any hurts caused the controversial artwork will remain at document up . however, it will remain hidden from visitors from to day onwards. behind huge panels of heavy cloth. before we go, here's a quick look at our top story sour. cream president vladimir zaleski has called russia's aggression of evil. that can be stopped only on the back of his latest video dress appears to dismiss hopes, especially among some european states that ukraine would seek talks with russ. it's all for now. um nick spicer, thanks for watching. ah ha, we're all set to go beyond the obvious citizenship and then we're all live as we take on the we're all about the stories that matter to.
