i really think we need to talk about all the topics that move to live and unite. and this i have invited many a year and wow gas. and i would like to invite you in ah, this is d, w. news live from berlin, ukraine's president. and he says he's country is ready to help ease the world. food crisis ships loaded with previously blockaded gray, now ready to set sail from black seaports as elsewhere, dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war are killed in a missile strike. also on the program where

a secretary of state antony blankets as moscow's annexation of ukraine will never be accepted. russia's foreign minister tells him western arm supplies to ukraine up along the wall. alaska is burning. the northern new state sees an unusual spate of forest blazes. we meet at cruz battling to say ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. we begin with the deaths of dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war, many of whom were victims of the month long siege of mattie up all russia and ukraine are each accusing of selling the prison in the eastern frontline town of underneath, which is 2nd now controlled by russia back separatists local officials say, as many as 53 ukrainian prisoners were killed. in the days other main development

you cranes ready to restart grange exports to help ease the global food crisis. ships are loaded and ready to sail from 2 black c port. a cloud of dust or wraps, his grain is loaded onto a merchant ship. in the port city of odessa, ukraine's president is on hand to inspect the loaded vessels ahead of departure versus old numbers. this is the 1st vessel being loaded up since the war began to see which outgoing. i'm standing in front of a turkish chevy. more. yes, the end of this means the port has started operating. what are the most important thing for us? is that the port is operating and that people are working on divorce, millions of tons of ukrainian grain of been held for a month in silos and ships blockaded by russia on the black sea, sending food prices soaring around the world. according to a recent deal brokered by the u. s. and turkey merchant ships will be given safe passage in and out of key ukrainian ports. this agreement, as the,

as the secretary general said, is not just important for ukraine and ukraine's economy. but these is important for the world because it will help to prevent the global food crises, local officials, they more than a dozen ships loaded with grain are ready to leave. a rare moment of good news and the 5 month long war. but it's being overshadowed by reports of a missile attack on a prison in a separatist control region of eastern ukraine. the strike killed dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war, moscow and key if blame each other for the depth of the w mathias bring. it was at the port of odessa during president zalinski, his visit these visits by a zalinski and by the ambassadors of the g 7 countries, plus turkey and the representative of the united nations. the clearly a signal that the world one sees transports to go on and ukraine once these transports to go on, there are a warning to russia not to obstruct the scheme. in ukraine's forwards we have no 7

team ships that are ready to go and that are hopefully leaving in the next few days . after that there will be a shuttle between istanbul and ukraine in order to bring out all these tons of grain. we're talking about 20000000 tons of grain that are now stored in ukraine storage facilities. and after the next harvest, another $20000000.00 tons are expected to add to that in order to bring all of them out. ukraine counts with the period of 8 or 9 months, so it is quite a long period, and there are many chances that this will be interrupted due to fighting in the black sea or due to obstruction by russia. so there is quite some extra anxiety here in ukraine, whether this can really work that his polio. are you a secretary of state as a blank and has told his russian counterparts again,

love rav moscow's alex agent. ukraine will never be accepted. the 2 men spoke by phone for the 1st time since russia in vain. in february, after the call, secretary lincoln said, he urged mister laugher off to respect the deal to allow ukrainian grain shipments to leave the black sea. and he was a lover of is reported to criticize the west supply of arms to ukraine. we told us of the number the move was extending the conflict. they also discussed an american proposal to secure the release of tooth usa need being held by moscow on the release of paul. we want. so will this conversation help the resumption of those great shipments? asked d. w correspondent, mikayla cooper in washington. that is the big question because it's certainly the wording of what we've hud come both from onto the blink in the u. s. secretary state, but also from the russian side. it doesn't really make anyone feel particularly upbeat that this will go ahead without any complications because it's,

it's noteworthy what we're not hearing when not hearing that the u. s. recognizing a willingness on the russian side to honor their commitment. the russian brokers and deal to in, facilitate these grain shipments. on the other hand, we are hearing moscow accuse at the west essentially united states and nato countries of prolonging the suffering by, as i quote, pumping weapons into ukraine and also with the russian side. blaming the west for the delays. ingrained shipments for the very problems that we're seeing also globally right now. so yes, both sides are talking on to being and said that it was a very frank exchange, but there was no would of actual headway and that is very disconcerting indeed. did i have a better look on other topics?

well, the key issue, antony lincoln want to talk about is of course proceed. griner and pull whelan, those to us citizens being held in russia arbitrary detentions is what the west sides calls them. and it has been talk for a couple of days now of what it is secretary brink and calls a substantial offer on the table. several sources of saying that this would be a potential prisoner exchange against victor about who was imprisoned for 25 years . has a 25 year sentence for a for arms trafficking here in the united states. that would be a very substantial offer. indeed. well, the russian side, coming out of this very conversation, it has called on the us to return to quiet diplomacy. they don't want this particularly out in the open. so if anything this looks like an offer made by the americans, that isn't being answered right out for days now. and that just illustrates how

tense relations are. well, if you want to call in relation the friction is how tense that conversation must have been. if it was frank and hasn't really produced a breakthrough, despite the fact that this american offer has been made so publicly. so no, this was not a successful telephone conversation. by any means, the coming days will so whether it produces at least some easing when it comes to grain shipments. but what it has done is, is, has exposed the depth of the rift that the only good news is that both sides. are she still talking? all right, good talking to you. thank you for the w. corresponded mikaela cooper in washington, dc traceable head launch room around the world. now, when it is from algeria, nigeria amnesia have signed a preliminary deal to build a 4000 kilometer gas pipeline connecting lisa, her, a desert with europe. project will cost around $14000000000.00 euros and could

supply 30000000 cubic meters of natural gas a year. pipeline palestinian authority, a teenager has been shot dead by israeli troops in the occupied west back palestinians were marching against settlement expansion near rama. when clashes with settlers broke out, israel's army says it responded with live. but frances has met survivors of abuse or former residential schools in cal, a kalu. it's in northern canada. the school system which ended in the 1990, is isolated indigenous children from their families, language and culture. been touring canada apologizing. the catholic church is past crimes against indigenous children. thousands of young climate activists of march through your in northern italy to protest against the lack of policies to counteract global warming. the valley followed a week of conferences in the city featuring speakers from countries most effective

by climate change. a target in germany, foreign ministers of clashed at a bad tempered meeting in istanbul, in one of several points of contention. turkey accused germany of siding with greece in a dispute over energy reserves. elena burbock arrived in turkey with a packed agenda. the war in ukraine and the energy and food crises that flow from its turkish military operations in syria and turkeys, human rights record. high on her list to was security in the eastern mediterranean, arriving from athens. the german foreign minister still had greek views on that subject ringing in her ears when bare balkan to take his counterpart emerged from talks, memory chevy show lou clearly felt she had been influenced by greece. all. maia was the list in the past. germany has played an honest mediating role in this process with a balanced attitude. but in recent times,

we see that this balance has unfortunately been lost. we have to listen to both sides. athens is concerned about growing belligerents from turkey. like these recent military exercises. tensions between the 2 countries have been sharpened by the discovery of lucrative gas reserves in the mediterranean anchor has threatened to challenge greece's sovereignty over the aegean islands. such tough taught between nato partners is alarming to germany. it's as bad pardon and i have been for partners in an alliance in my view, it goes without saying that we respect each other's borders. it is therefore important to me that we do not drift apart politically at this moment. not to live in these little men, and that was bare box key message. now is not the time for discord, because division among supporters of ukraine would only play into the hands of russia. or the white house as destruction from wild fires in the u. s. is

exceedingly 10 year average, and scientists say climate change is responsible. president biden has declared a major disaster in the state of alaska, where unusually fierce forest fires a raging t w's, catalina, cham boy reports from the town of anderson, where she met emergency cruise. battling the fires and residents fleeing them. alaska is the largest u. s. seat. it is also the least densely populated. among its great treasures, the untouched wilderness. but much of that is now being destroyed. wild fires are not a new phenomenon here, but they are changing. they're becoming more frequent and more intense, so much so that this here no co fire fighters here in anderson. we're unable to get them when a fire happens and they get bigger than the local unit can handle like so. here in

anderson, they have some local volunteer firefighters. they but, but they're very small. so when the fire gets bigger than what they can control, they will call for outside help and tell pass, come from all over the u. s. hate air heart from montana has been battling places, country white for more than 20 years. this is her 5th time in alaska. she's now supervising a team of 500 fire fighters deploy to help control one wild hire. sadly, this property couldn't be saved. it's really when fires like this one. start in and around populated areas, even a lightly populated area like this that it becomes a problem. era fair. you hear that i've never seen fire behavior like this before. and so i would say this abnormal weather is the new normal. it's

getting harder to fight fires, resources are getting scarcer and we're dealing with women's like this, this summer. more than 264 individual fires have destroyed 1250000 hectares of land across the state. the blaze in anderson is now under control. that the damage is extensive and the strong winds host of risk to this used to be a for is he can still see smoke up there. the fire fighters are still trying to get that high under control. we can strongly smell it. local people half had to evacuate their homes, among them, don and dorothy winks are accelerating the place when they returned. the fire was under control. it was like kind of like surreal. there was smoke and fires were still burning in the trees out here. and the firemen were with us and i think they were with us because they up maybe, you know,

it would be traumatic to go and see. but we, he, they said right away, your house is safe. this time they were lucky, but there will certainly be wildfires here again. and experts say global warming may make them more severe. and since you're up to date shall be more well news at the top of the hour to now, dubois has your d. w. business updated just a moment. looking at record profits it oil. john's excellent book bill and share for the day. great weekend. ah, he's establishing an order and she, june pink, president of the global power china is part of a whole system which believes his time has come. any criticism of his regime isn't nipped in the bud.
