zoloft shots and italy's mario draggy had travelled to keep earlier in june, where they endorsed ukraine's e. u membership bid. many of the leaders acknowledged that russia's invasion played a large role in their decision making. these put the whole european union in such a motion, they will, we see is a result of totally new i would say atmosphere within europe in council. it's is, i would say this is a new european council at this moment. it's clear ukraine will have to fulfill a long list of criteria before being able to enter the union. a process that could take years even decades. but the possibility of a lengthy waste didn't dampen the spirits of ukraine's president, who thank the council by a video link, ordinarily kuala naz. neimark recently yaviagiss your property. and i believe that the flag of the european union will fly in every ukrainian city that we have to liberate from russian occupation. great ukrainian and european flags will be

grain and also to missouri and it is clear that this decision was the most important event. the most important a development at this to day summit, it was a historic decision. it was a clear sign to her to create also towards small dora that they are part of the european family. it was a clear sign towards russia. that is, that you, once ukraine, and more to watch become part of the european union one day, even if of course, we know that this will take long years, maybe even decades. what were the other key messages, the other subjects that he spoke about it was closely related to, to this message and everything turns around the war war in ukraine these days. and it will have shots said that of course, germany out. and also the ad that your countries have to be in that get independent of fresh and fossil fuels as soon as possible. he also said, of course,

that this is not easy because the you, especially germany, is very dependent on fossil fuels. and he also said that the, the war a cost a severe economic and it impacts on the you. it's clear that inflation also high gas, high energy prices, are a consequence of the war, which is especially hard for a continent that is just coming out of 2 years of coverage 19 pandemic. and another interesting point he mentioned is that he accused russia actually of lying when it comes to reducing gas flowing through the north stream. a good one gas pipeline. russia set a technical problems, but several german politicians have already said this is not true. and now all of shows said it as well. it didn't, the shelves actually acknowledge the possible threat of russia responding in some

way. and he, he did not really mention this topic, but of course he said that and that you mean when russia responding to you to your crane or to go to the gas issue, responding to the fact that the, that ukraine is now a has candidate faces. i mean, the that you says that, of course, this is a sign of 2 words. russia that ukraine is now part of the urine pin family has also is now under the umbrella of the european family. and this is clearly a sign towards russia that they won't back down when comes to russian threats, and that they will come out stronger after this war may be with ukraine may be afford of. i may be also with the western balkan states. part of the you one day.

thanks marina, that's the w's. marina strauss in brussels and ukraine has ordered the withdrawal of its troops from the eastern city of sierra donnette scoff after weeks of 5th fighting against russian forces. not according to the regional governor there capturing varied on yet in the dumbass area, is central to russia's push to seize the large swathe of land and east. in ukraine . regional authority say fighting is intensifying and a town in the eastern region, a safe residence. civilian evacuations are increasing. meanwhile, ukrainian troops have repelled a russian attack on the southern outskirts of near by last chance. the last, fully ukrainian controlled city in the region of the huns ukraine is losing ground in the east. this town near the city of las a chance has been devastated by shelling russian forces or concentrating the overwhelming fire by on what is the last major

ukrainian held city in the province of lou hands. they have already seen control of its twin cities severed. hold on, it's forcing ukraine's troops to retreat. in order to avoid encirclement of the weeks of creed by street combat to just start, your thoughts are done, said you to prost another. there's no sense staying in opposition to me. i have been destroyed during many months of fighting with gibson. ye me at some loosely but the most. we do the number of casualties in the poorly fortified areas will grow every day by the mobile opening. and therefore, the decision was made for the sake of the defenders who are there for sure. you got it on record, it's. yep, about share it with them. right now that was back. unless a chance many civilians are being taken to safety. but not everyone wants to leave us up. it's the ukranian army shooting at us. it is them that kill our children. not that we want to be united with the russians, not the germans in europe,

a report from the region are causing guns on in the neighboring donates region. the region governor is what it about for the russian advance nemiah's road. no, mister z at us. there is no place, no town in the genetic region that is safe. you're comfortable with taking into consideration that i have intelligence data. and i understand where the danger lies . not but i'm lucky and the bas brittany i have deliberately mentioned slogans can cram a torque commercial summer because that will be the direction where the enemy will be moving. not comfortable. oh, doyce, that some people might be loyal to the russians solid. they said, look, what, believe me, when the cities are destroyed, hello, yes. can this loyalty disappears and people understand, man, you are, the main thing is not to understand too late, or, i mean on the below are not the business. seizing that when city has been a key goal of russia, as it pushes farther into ukraine's industrial heartland. and we can cross over to

the craning capital cave, where he deli, nick conley is standing by. neck. tell us how big of a blow is this retreat from severe red onions? this is obviously a big deal. definitely. this is the top news here in ukraine, but it's sort of expected. and ukraine government has prepared public opinion and world opinion even for this 4 weeks now and distress you will, along as basically been to make the russians pay as high price possible for the smallest possible gains. similar to what we saw in mario pl. really make them fight for every street for every meter of ground. and hope that basically they exhaust themselves in the situation where obviously they still have huge superiority in terms of the weapons available. and we've heard different figures. ukrainian government figures talking about 10 times more artillery in the russian or the russian side than on the ukrainian side. so ukraine really having to choose its battles carefully and to use what little equipment it has as cleverly as possible. now they've made the decision to withdraw from sort of nets consumed,

i guess from this shouts to, in the hope that they will minimize losses to their own forces and really give themselves a chance of continuing this battled without losing in non controlled and kind of dangerous chaotic way, it's 4 months to the day since russia launched its invasion. can you describe for us how ukraine has changed in that time and that the likelihood that it can keep the facing the way that it is. this is a colossal blow to the country. millions people have left and many women and children are now in neighboring countries in safety. it's seen it's economy destroyed. some estimate say up to about 50 percent of g d p. down just over those 4 months compared to where we were before the 24th of february. but on the other hand, ukraine is not seeing any lack of people willing to fight. the ukrainian, or military authorities have more people want to sign up than they actually have

equipment for. and that is going to be the real problem going forward at seeing if we can get those western equipments supplies in fast enough to really at take the advantage. take the initiative once those russian, it offensive rad of steam. what's the russians run out of energy and supplies and manpower, and for now it's coming, but it's not coming fast enough. and then there's of seed dislike old glass back to lots. people are now very tired, they've been living off their savings, living from day to day, unable to make plans for months. there's a clip doing rounds on social media here and ukraine to day and taken by someone from their window of children in the yard, just playing checkpoints, playing soldiers, and then the air raid sirens come on in their town. and suddenly the king kids start seeing the national anthem books, that's what normally happens when her air raid sirens come on on the radio that they have on. here's the out them. so busy yourself. the people are now realizing that their children are growing up in one that war has become the norm for a whole generation of ukrainian children. so definitely a fear of where this will lead a fear of how long will go on. but no,

since the people here are ready to give up or to give in to rushes demons. nic conley and keep thinking you're reporting now we have some breaking news just coming in. the predominantly conservative u. s. supreme court is officially rolling back the landmark decision granting and protecting abortion rights in the united states. the ruling known as roe vs wade has been under attack ever since it was enacted 50 years ago. now this decision is highly controversial in the us with feelings running high on both sides. the greatest division folds along political lines and along religion with republicans and evangelical christians overwhelmingly against it. and we will be speaking to all correspondent in washington later in the shape. now, germany is hosting talks today aimed at tackling the loo,

looming global food crisis. the war, new crane has led to rising food prices in shortages around the world, especially in countries that were already struggling to feed their populations. german 4 f as minister and alina babcock spoke to the media ahead of the conference . let's take a listen. since nish will not says internet and we are not talking about hundreds of thousands, we are talking about millions of people. there are 345000000 women children and men world right, who are facing and acute shortage of we are facing a famine crisis that confronts us, like a threatening wave termed on my f one russians attack when ukraine has turned this way into a soon ami since the beginning of the war, prices for grain, world wide, have one smart shut, optimizing you who the chosen. and we can speak now to a baby haley gabriel, who is the assistant director general at the united nations food and agricultural

organization. and it's regional representative for africa. he joins me from a cra in gonna welcome to d. w. would you put into perspective for us if you would, how much the war in ukraine is contributing to the worsening food crisis in africa? thank you for having me. i said, you see the impact has been quite definite. it dumps magnitude huge for 1st through the impact on availability of the place. both of food items are bottles of regulators. meaning that those countries heavily reliant on these countries for inputs are facing for shortages. and 2nd is through the impact on food prices in that of the input, namely, fertilizer which also triggered by high and volatile fuel prices. according to, if you say food price index, we prices are up by 56 percent compared to your goal. in full price have increased

by double digits in many african countries. in africa, we price is increased by over 45 percent on average. in some particular countries such as somalia, for example, that depends for about 90 percent on weight imports. staple food prices rose by between 142160 percent above the 5 year average. and this is as of a pre engineering. so and since full bath, it constitutes a significant share of the consumer expenditure is about 60 percent of the impact has been painful for the majority is made very clear that sky rocketing food prices are a major issue there. certainly a large concern here in europe. can you tell us how african countries are preparing themselves for what's happening at the moment?

if you look at the full class situation in africa and we have a recent report by a feel in dublin, b, the hunger sports a hot spot report, a published in june. 6 of the top 10 countries are most affected by hunger are in africa. and they make up 14 of the top 20 countries globally in the horn of africa region, a wars drought in for decades, as exposed up to 20000000 people to hunger in 2022 in the file and west africa. more than 40000000 people fit acute food insecurity this year, and this is significant jump from cities, their goal. at the figures there was about 11000000 people. so african countries have to grapple with multiple shocks. climate extremes, plant best and diseases, economic slowdowns, a conflicts that are all over the place among others. and what matter might makes matters worse, is that mechanisms and capacities to mitigate these multiple shocks are either

a week or non existent in many instances. in fact, the recovery from the social economic impacts of, of 19 has been quite a challenge in africa. and in this context there, the impact of the re shot you can work could have significant impact. the countries are trying their best, but them very much constraint. it's the head of the african union has argued in favor of lifting sanctions imposed on moscow over the war in ukraine, and in order to regain access to grain from russia. do you agree with that? are we in, if you are, we are make recommendations for the shooting market transparency as well as for keeping global food and fertilizer, trade flowing all efforts should be on keeping the food supply chains and logistical systems moving across borders. so we should be refraining from imposing

export restrictions, which can exacerbate price increases and undermine trust and global market. a baby haley gabriel with united nation food and agricultural organization. thanks so much for speaking to the w. no most welcome. thank you. and we are going across now to our d. w. washington bureau chief, who is following the story of the supreme court rolling back this landmark decision on abortion in this decision may not come as a surprise. but what exactly does this mean for women in the us? now it's not coming as a surprise, but you can will feel the shock waves going through washington right now with his ruling. it basically means that the protection of the right to get an, a poor abortion nation nation wade. why it is taken away? you know, i think it's important for international audience to understand it's not

a case that abortion is not allowed any more in the united states. but this 50 year old protection of the rides to get an abortion is taken away. and it's now up to the states to decide whether women are allowed to get an abortion and how long into their pregnancy they get an abortion. if there are exemptions, for example, for rape or incest. so yes, this is really a very, very important day to day as this 50. all right, right. this 50 year old protection is taken away. it's obviously an issue that has ex, intensely political and notions running very high some for some against what kind of reaction could this potentially trigger in the broader population? well, it is interesting a, you know, the latest polls say that the majority of the americans are for abortion raid. so

the supreme court, the 3 appointees from a president, donald trump, is obviously basically not following that the wishes of the majority of the americans. we shall see, i mean there are already $26.00 states which plan to ban or restrict abortion access to have all the, the, the kind of the legal writing in the books. and then there are sixteens who have already lost out there, which probably will come into effect within the next couple of days. so i'm sure that we will see a lot of protests going on up at the supreme. we will be there soon and also report life from the scene there, but there will be also marches and protests along the united states on the one side . but then on the other side to have those who are in favor of this ruling, they will applauds of the supreme court for making this decision. he w's ins pool

in washington, d. c. thank you so much. now as we were just hearing, today's decision overturning roe vs wade gives states the ability to make their own laws. and many conservative states have already indicated that they will severely restrict access to abortion. for conservative lawmakers, it's the culmination of the decades long fight against the decision that legalized abortion nationwide. the supreme court's ruling on roe vs wade was a landmark decision. effectively legalizing abortion across the united states, the case focused on jane ro, in reality, norman mccovie, a texas woman seeking and abortion. since state law only allowed it in cases where the mother's life was in danger. she was denied her case was picked up by civil rights lawyers looking to challenge anti abortion laws. in january 1973, the justices ruled 7 to 2 that a woman's right to privacy superseded

a states right to ban abortion. the decision set off a fierce legal battle which has become increasingly partisan after woe, the republicans added an anti abortion stance to their platform. an effort to enlist support from the religious right during the trump presidency, a major victory for republicans looking to tilt the balance of the supreme court. in just 4 years, he was able to appoint 3 justices giving the court a $63.00 conservative majority during their senate hearings, each appointee was asked about row and each said they would follow precedent in may a leaked draft opinion suggested the supreme court plan to overturn roe just as samuel a leto called it a grievously wrong from the start. in post ro america,

26 out of 50 states are expected to quickly ban or severely restrict abortion. that's galvanizing democrats who still want to keep abortion legal opposition. recent polls suggest is supported by some 60 percent of americans. it's south kennesaw now where taliban officials say that they have ended their search for survivors off to wind, wednesday's powerful earthquake. at least 1000 people were killed and many more injured. fresh tremors struck the same remote area in the countries east, aliya on friday, killing 58 groups and now rushing to get food tents on medical supplies to the region up to a rock. mine has seen so much in his life. but the pain after the earthquake, i said, for this is almost too much the of suicide. this is what's left of his home is good and make them de la quake happens suddenly at night. our houses were destroyed
