oh matter and that's my new podcast. i'm evelyn sharma. and i really think we need to talk about all the topics that north divides and united. in this i have invited many deer and well known guests. and i would like to invite you to an in ah ah, business d w, news live from berlin, g 7 countries seek to put ever tougher sanctions on russian oil. german chancellor, olaf sholtes ends the g 7 summit pledging to drive up the cost of war for russia. late is also a great to find the global food crisis. also coming up,

there is no rest for you as president biden and other western leaders who moved on to a nato summit in madrid. one focused a major expansion of nato, with rapid response force meant to deter further russian aggression. plus a grim reminder of the horrors of war as emergency personnel search for the missing . how do you crime shopping mall destroyed by russian with at least 18 people on confirm dead. and dozens of migrants. a found dead in a truck in texas almost 50 people perished in sweltering conditions near and known migrant stumbling route. ah, i'm rebecca writ as welcome to the program. the g 7 summit has come to a close here in germany with a pledge to explore further sanctions on russian oil member countries also agreed

to spend billions to address global food shortages caused in part by russia's invasion of ukraine. javin chancellor, olive sholtes closed the 3 day summit, sang actions by the g 7 would drive up the cost of war for russia, which he accused of causing a world wide hunger crisis, laid his pledge to reduce fossil fuel subsidies, but also allowed public funding fed natural gas projects due to the effects of the war on energy supplies. the german chancellor also said the world needed to help you crane rebuild his some of his closing remarks. he humbled auction to hurt, nobody knew you also talked about long term reconstruction. i will put forward additional funds for this, but we need to come together as the g 7 and also other european union members are hostile to discuss reconstruction under their own personal noon. we need a marshal plan, ukraine's. the has to be well planned and developed for a plan today. this is what we have set out to do planned and vicar to adam to

sundance warren. and joining us from the summit venue in bavaria is our chief political editor, me helicopter mckayla. nice to see what are your main takeaways from this summit? oh, clearly that's what was supposed to be about the climate climate climates. it ended up being about ukraine, ukraine, ukraine, and particularly the fall out of the global economy. everybody is feeling the pain around the world, and that is something that the dumb presidency all are sold to try to dress also with outreach countries who probably, you know, don't really care where ukraine is on the map of this. certainly feeling the immediate effects, the ripple effects india, the senate goals, their indonesia there, which holds the presidency of the g 20 but very specifically on ukraine. this was a lot of symbolism, the message of unity of the traditional west, as i would like to call it. and the german chance to saying that he, when he was asked about it,

doesn't really see an end in sight of this conflict. so it's popping the pressure, it's dealing on a day by day basis also with keeping ukraine afloat, securing its budget and already looking ahead to what will become a donor conference to set up something like the marshall plan of a summer turn cast a global spotlight on olaf sholtes in his 1st year as chancellor and dw rezani roman, it's got a pretty interesting response from the chance led to a question about security for ukraine. let's take a listen and when is considered the chancellor, the g 7 made very clear security commitments to ukraine, which also apply to after the war. could you tell us what they security commitments are in the st? yes. could i could does well that's all very interesting and david henry, what do you make of that?

well, that's a typical salts. first of all, that he is a tight lip, northern german. and when he does want to answer question, he doesn't. and my colleague was, i was really trying to ask for details. i'd ask them before actually, and not dissimilar a question of whether they hadn't talked about those very security guarantees. and yes, they had talked about those in detail. but kelly no intention to let us know details . what he did map up though is that ukraine, he said, needed to be in a position where it was be able to defend itself. so that kind of gives more than just a hint that military support financial support for ukraine is here to stay, however long the war takes already heard. very early on here from you as president joe biden, to pledge that the g 7 will remain at ukraine side for as long as it takes. yeah, i mean, the summit comes as the world is in turmoil, much of it connected to the war in ukraine. how was the mood among the j 7 leaders?

well, it was a very serious mood. we've seen a lot of criticism picks from and yos, who see this as complete failure, particularly on the climate goals of the technically these countries are sticking with the climate goals. but the d 7 themselves are criticizing that, and that simply is not enough intention and implementation to actually achieve the 1.5 degree limit in temperatures rising. so in built criticism at the same time, the g 7 crossing their own red line in that just shows what used to be the most powerful countries really in the midst of multiple crises. i mean, we didn't even really get to hear any kind of longer meaningful statement about the covert pandemic and the mall out from that because there simply is too much else on the table here. and definitely, or i, we can kiffany for us in very, thanks very much for that. nato secretary general against

oldenburg, has called on member states to boost their military spending in the face of continued russian aggression against you. crime. he made the comments as nato late as gather for a critical summit in madrid. the later of the alliance said the war had spunk, a fundamental shift in nato's approach to defense. he added that the saw that would create a blueprint for a new nato in a quote more dangerous and unpredictable world. for a lot of more, i'm joined by christina bertina, the head of the geo politics team at the german marshall fund of the united states in brussels. christina, in the woods of the secretary general, the boost of rapid response troops is the biggest overhaul of our collective defense and deterrence. since the cold war, talk us through the significance of that, if you can. this is a very highly anticipated summit with a lot of decisions to be made for years per decade. the countries across central

and eastern europe, many who were in the other side of the other cur, iron curtain, has been very afraid of a traditional military threat on their territory. and for decades in the us, in western europe, this was just counted as paranoia. so now what does it mean to actually defend these countries? and there's been a approach in the past, which is to say, let's put a few troops there. and in case something bad happens, the rest of them come in. we'll have time, we'll have a few weeks, a few months. but when you look at a situation like boot shop, if you look at a place where it, with a few days, the russian occupation can lead to terrible atrocity that approach doesn't work anymore. so what we're waiting at a madrid right now is to say, how many troops, what kind of equipment is going to be in the baltic states in poland, in romania, so that you don't get to the point where you even need a few days under russian occupation how do you signal to russia that the cost for them are going to be so high that they should not attempt to cross the border?

ukraine has shown the fact that any amount of territorial transgression for any amount of time is not to be acceptable or tolerable for population. because the big challenge or the u. s. for germany or france that have been really looking at other priorities, perhaps not thinking about how to put thousands of troops back into europe and now moving them to central and eastern europe. so nathan, looking really very much to show up its own territory, but ukrainian, president of all of them is lensky will be addressing the nato summit via the video link tomorrow. how much pressure is nato on the to help you crime all? it's under tremendous pressure because this is seen in many ways as the 1st theater . if ukraine goes badly, if russia is able to win what it once or more than the bare minimum of what it wants in ukraine, russia, we'll see this as a green light to keep going. many people see the fact that the, the watch and community nato europe didn't respond adequately to rush,

grabbing 20 percent of georgia territory in 2008. that there was not enough of response to 2014 and rush of taking crimea, and then proxies taking the don't boss o territory is in that, that these were considered agree lights to moscow to keep it, to get to the west from the west, from us to keep going to keep making more territory, which is how we comes to such an egregious war. in 2022, it's up to nato and the west broadly to say no, you can't do this forward, which is why support for ukraine? the question of ukraine winning, this is why it's essential so that you don't get war on nato. so then what is expected to come out of the summit in terms of direct support for you crime? i think a plan for how to get a certain number of troops and equipment into countries with the best concrete details as possible. this has been a lot of the negotiation in the past few weeks. of course we're expecting beautiful

words about commitment to territorial defense. what everyone is waiting for is what the actions actually look like. what is the timeline for making the reality change on the ground? and there's an impatience with the rhetoric when the cost is so acute. yeah, of course, i mean beneath the surface, but also out in the open their attentions, within nato, and elsewhere on how the war will end. do you think that they're doing enough to try to hold russia they, they're doing a lot and the question is, are western societies and the industry prepared for this situation? i think that this may even take, that existed before february that we couldn't possibly go back to 1920th century wars that had to us. but that doesn't mean that the military industrial complex is prepared even to suddenly be ramping up production at one time. production in a way that wasn't anticipated on the russian side as well. actually,

because they thought they'd have a very quick operation and wouldn't have to be engaged in this very serious artillery war in ukraine. and so there's going to be a change. first of all, motivation to decide whatever is possible to ukraine, but there's also a need been to say, oh, we need to restock all of the countries across nato or increasing their military. but just understanding, they have a very different thread on their hands and they believed 6 months ago. but that also requires an entire industry to start making the kinds of weapons that kind the armor that is necessary to be defined in this time. and i think that's where the point that we are getting to where a lot is being done. but there needs to be a lot of procedures and leverage, put into place across our society, across our economies, to make sure that that isn't fast enough. and not as any complicated process is an instant and we would very much like it to be instance. thank you very much for that

. so i will have to leave it there. christina bettina, head of the geo politics at the german marshall fund of the united states. many things g 7 ladies have also condemned russia for carrying out a missile strike on a busy shopping mall in central you crime. calling the attack a war crime, at least 18 people were killed on monday when missiles hit the building in the city of crime, and chuck around a 1000 shoppers were reported to be inside at the time ukraine has requested the united nations security council meeting over the strike rescue services worked through the night. looking for survivors still trapped in the collapse mall. dozens of severely injured victims, somewhat life threatening wounds have been taken to local hospitals. anchormen shook. they describe harrowing scenes just after the russian missiles struck you, but you? yeah, i to, to the air and shrapnel hit my body to father,

the whole place was collapsing. then i landed on the floor and i don't know if i was conscious or unconscious. i didn't understand anything. i opened my eyes and i saw a big piece of rubble was in top of me, and i started to scream, help me you for my heat, your officials say the missiles struck one over a 1000. people were inside the shopping mall. hundreds of rescued emergency service workers are still scoring the rubble searching for survivors or for purple. but according to the preliminary police report, they're still people inside the shopping center in the zone them. so you credential is an important transportation hub and home to the countries biggest oil refinery. ukraine's president boldenow zalinski described to strike as a terrorist act. designed to coincide with the malls busy as ours and cause maximum loss of life. data direct government. but the only absolute psycho terrorists who

should have no place on earth can launch misses of such an object. and it's not an incidental hit by missiles. it's a precise russian strike or exactly on the shopping center, some c to rule. but any russia has recently stepped up, its missile strikes across ukraine. shelley, nevada, keep on monday, killed 5 people, and we'll do 22 more, including 5 children, according to authorities. the northeastern city has suffered heavy bombardments as the very start of the russian invasion on february 24th on the give will never such explosions. i don't even know how to describe them. windows were shaking their beloved, almost someone told me something happened to my father in law. i came close and he was laying down still alive as if it was literally within 10 minutes. he started leaving so much and that was it. despite russia's claims, it isn't targeting civilians, it's once again, ukraine's alarm population that's paying

a heavy price for the russian invasion date. i believe manual. shes joined us from the capital, kiva. m out. what's the latest on this shopping mall? attack of the and the rescue operation? well or rebecca, they're still dozens of people who are, who are missing at the moment. at least 20 people lost their lives has been 18 bodies who have, which are been recovered and some of them are so badly burned that they will only be a forensics that will only be able to identify dam through dna surged as are so you know, it's undescribable, there's also a human remains that are still being found there were over. if it is 60 people injure 25 of them are still on the hospital as we speak so scenes of devastation in the city of crime, in show concentra, ukraine, how people they're reacting to this attack and to the recent spike and attacks across the country. well,

people here were really shocked about this attack because because it was really, you know, a shopping mall are too busy our. it is believed that over a 1000 people were there at the time of their shelling. so people was shocked at that. and miss, i would be a child there of course are in the city of crime and shock itself. it's not the 1st time that he was hit by a me so, but nevertheless, it was a very, very shocking for the people who were there some people or so, you know, left country because of the war there were checking on relative, some of them to come off get ahold of their relatives. so of course a waiver shock around the country and also the international community as stepping up and actually, you know, sharing this dis, believe up what just happened was the united nations as saying, dr. bombing, the bombing of shopping malls, or in any circumstances, was utterly deplorable. the g 7 leader is also stepping up. and as saying that dave

rode to make russia pay for its war against ukraine and also to read to a day where you to reach a desk for to your clients. so huge anger, dismay, after this attack on a shopping mall. of course, fighting is still ongoing. in the don bass, what the latest from the front line? well, the situation is still very volatile, but also very dire, especially in the sex of lazy chance this morning. a russian troops a tried and failed to. as far as we know at this stage to answer this city inhabitants their lead, the very, very dire conditions. there wasn't shelling yesterday on. people were just trying to get some drinkable water. 7 people die 22, others got injured. so a very dire situation. indeed. east with ukraine, an armed forces also regrouping your ground armed forces are still benefiting now from her heavy weapons that they were hoping for 4 months. but still,

the situation is very dire. the fighting, very intense, and it shows no sign of stopping any time soon. m a thank you for very much for that update manual shes forth in keith let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. prominent ration opposition fig alex n a valley has appeared at a court hearing via video link. it's the 1st time he's been seen in public since being moved to a high security facility. earlier this month, the valley was arrested and sent to prison shortly after returning to russia at last year. authorities in jordan say at least 13 people have died after a tank filled with chlorine exploded at the port of a kaba state tv ad footage of the moment the tank was dropped from a crane while being loaded on to a ship. the poisonous chlorine cloud sickened. for the 250 people, i shall anchor has restricted fuel sales to essential services only for the next 2

weeks. it part of a desperate bid to cope with a severe shortage. sher lanka is grappling with its worst ever economic crisis and is struggling to pay for imports of food medicine and few. now to a tragedy in texas or authorities, there have discovered the bodies of almost 50 people in an abandoned truck. more than a dozen survivors, including children, were taken to hospital mexicans, guatemalans and honduras are among the dead. the location is 250 kilometers from the us mexico border, and he's on a major transit route for people smugglers normally quiet san antonio road, transformed by tragedy. authorities were allergic to the scene in the cities south western outskirts, on monday evening. after work in a nearby building heard a cry for help and found the trailer with its door ajar and dead bodies within officials said 46 people thought we migrants from central and southern america were

found dead at the scene. while 16 survivors were taken to hospitals suffering from heat related conditions, the patients that we saw were hot to the touch. they were suffering from heat stroke, heat exhaustion, ah, no signs of water in the vehicle. it was a refrigerated tractor trailer. but there was no uh, visible working ac unit on that rig, we're not supposed to open up a truck and see stacks of bodies. and there are none of us come to work. imagining that. so we're working through the behavioral health for our folks right now. san antonio's mom was also at the scene on monday. so the flight of migrants, city refuse is always your man. it's aaron crisis, but to night we are dealing with a horrific human tragedy. local police say they have taken 3 people into custody.

by that it isn't clear if they were directly connected with the incident. a federal investigation into just who left these people to die in a hot trailer is underway. united nations secretary general antonio terrace has declared that the world is in the middle of an ocean emergency. speaking of the opening of the you, an ocean conference in portugal here at governments to do more to restore ocean health. katara said some countries have been holding up protection efforts out of egoism. the u. m. conference is expected to adopt along the light decker light declaration aimed at protecting the world's oceans. oh, such an agreement would be voluntary and not legally binding. the un secretary general called on all countries to do their part to make a difference. o at oceans, audition and s o s. they are struggling. heating and the see defying. corals are buying coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, c,

grasses and wetlands are being degraded. fisheries are being depleted and the ocean is joking in plus the ways we must work together to write these wrongs. well, turtles are among the ocean toiling animals under threat from human activity. normally they live long lives. now, researchers have found that the reptiles are able to hope the aging process sang physically young, even as they get old. the discovery is challenging assumptions that bodies must inevitably deteriorate with age. turtles have some of the longest lifespans on the planet. from infancy to death, some totals and tortoises can expect to live over 100 years old researches and denmark wanted to find out how the animals age. so they analyze data from more than a 1000 zoos. so what we did was then used these really high

quality data and find as many species for which we had enough data to run the kinds of analyses that would lead us measure longevity, but also aging rate. they found that the animals age much slower than humans. in fact, of the 35 species of female turtles and tortoises that the research is analyzed. 75 percent of them didn't age at all. and for the $31.00 species of males, they looked at this figure rose to nearly 80 percent. so if age doesn't kill them, what done the risk of that he's never 0 and and and so, so whenever we find species that have negative negligible senescence, it only means that that the risk of death increases very, very slowly with age or it doesn't increase with age, but they are still,

they still have diseases, they still have a number of problems that that will affect them and will eventually kill them. so it doesn't mean that they will become there will be, they will be forever. so while they are alive, totals and talk to says, keep producing offspring right up until the end of their lives. they also keep growing right up until their death. whereas humans stop after hitting reproductive age. after reaching that age, the mechanisms in a human body that repair the constant stress and damage afflicted on cells and tissues gets weaker. this translates into increased mortality as the years go by. the fact that some turtles and tortoises hardly age at old, indicates they have more efficient mechanisms for making these repairs than we do. and that's something scientists could learn from to help understand what makes us age. if we manage to find,

to find ways to actually improve, improve our, our capacity to, to, to repair damage, cellular damage. tissue damages by actually starting all the species that can do it . well, that would be, and a hugely been our chances of living much, much longer understanding aging better could help develop therapies for the diseases of old age such as dementia. and it's all thanks to the humble turtle you're watching data, but he needs his a recap of our top story. this our g 70 does have ended there 3 days summit in germany with an agreement to purpose to further sanctions on russia. german chancellor, olaf shalt said g 7 members will increase the costs to russia for inviting ukraine . they're also pledging several $1000000000.00 to address a global food crisis. and there's no rest for many west and ladies now,
