ah ah ah ah, business dw, live from berlin. ukraine prepared to welcome turkish and you when leaders to discuss diplomatic solutions for stopping the wall as officials in the companies. second largest city report, fresh russians stripes on civilian areas. also on the program. in france,

the river law has all that vanished as an intense heat wave is scorching europe with devastating effects for the regions economy. and more than a year since the fall of the afghan government to the taliban, hundreds of people who worked for the german army remained trapped in afghanistan. we hear from the campaign us and say, germany has broken his promise to get the math class from the big stage to the parade ground. will south korea's military service policy, forced k popular bts to pause their careers? that's what microphones for rifle. ah, i'm gabrielle as well come to the program. you're training of authority, say russian shelling during the night and in the early morning hours on thursday,

have killed nearly a dozen people in ukraine's 2nd largest city. hark. if the original governor said at least 7 people were killed and harpoon suburb of salt disco rescue workers are still searching the rubble for more victims. cranium, president vladimir zalinski said the attacks destroyed a block of flats and called it a cynical strike on civil assaulted cub is a large district in the north east of her case closed the front line. and it is the target of rush and shelling nearly every day. the mayor of hockey says, 1000 civilians in the city have died since the beginning of the war. our reporter, brigitte, i shook it was in assault if could just days ago, before the latest round of attacks and filed this report. ah, greg chaps bombed out schools. no gosh, no water. this used to be a vibrant neighborhood. months of attacks as the russians tried to smash hockey

into. submission hath left sal discard district like this. since the start of fresh us invasion felt if guy has borne the brunt of moscow's relentless shelling, we're told 90 percent of the inhabitants have fled the neighbourhood. he has certainly teeth like a ghost town. it's often the week and poor who remained enduring months of attacks . leona, tatiana boscoe, are the only people still in there, block, then miss how life used to be allergic. again, there were many children running around at that. it was fun living. here we go. yes, we are many kindergartens and schools. everything was there. we were there doing what they can to prepare for winter and use this basement to high queuing area alarms, why we're down there. we're shelly in the distance with a stress, not my biggest fear is still that the russians could come from

a best number to solidly we can survive with no water with no electricity from wonderful. but this shooting the rockets hitting us da willis that frightens me. despite the fear, life is slowly returning to south africa. next off, workers fixed water pipes for the least them at apartments and patch up the smashed windows to prevent rain and snow making the damage choice, but they're not ready to start. full renovation. a member of harkey housing committee tells me the purpose of judging of some whistler. there is no sense in doing it now because the war is still going on. most similarly, hockey is being shelled every day looking forward. and if, for example, we were to replace the glass in the windows, we could even harm p born an attack, just a stroke running the bulletin. i'm ordering your with reduced. but for ego or saddle are actually even basic repairs are a sign of hope. he invites us to his home,

after weeks living in the metro station he and his wife all in our lease to be bag . even though they have no windows, all running water coming isn't we don't know what will happen in the winter. we hope there will be some heating or we have to put more plastic in the windows. nothing eager says he's lucky. he's still being paid. as a professional football coach, he proudly shows us his team. we are sitting here. nobody moves this. a lot of them are gone abroad or are now in western crime that only 6 of the kids have stayed here, as i missed him so very much, i really hope they come back soon. and so then he and the others. we met here in south africa, will concentrate on surviving and hillary, hoping the front keeps being pushed further away, bracing for the coming winter. no, as russia selling continues, ukraine's president zalinski is in the v. f to meet with un secretary general,

cherish and turkish president avalon, they'll be discussing possibilities for a diplomatic solution to end the war. for more on that, i'm not joined by w. chris bonham, but he has billing us in the v fancied abuse julia han is in, is sample materials start with you? what's going to happen in living today? what's on the agenda there? so there are meetings between ad on and zalinski and also gutierrez, to a general secretary of the u. n. and the general secretary is then going to odessa southern town where the ports are, where the green exports are happening and add on will return to turkey. that you do a turkey plays a critical role as a mediator in this war at what's advanced strategy today for these talks.

well, i think it's important to mention that this is actually the turkish president's 1st visit to ukraine. since russia invaded the country in february, so he will hold his 1st face to face talks with his ukranian counterpart loading mir lensky today. many or some have been saying that it's about time for everyone to finally visit ukraine, because he has already met with the russian lead of loading the, putting a twice in recent months. now we know that turkey is a nato member, but add one is also performing a delicate balancing act between the 2 sides where he supports ukraine. he has provided the country with modern combat drones, but he's also carefully trying not to jeopardize his relations with the kremlin. turkey has not joined western sanctions against moscow. add on himself says this is actually an advantage. it boosts his role as a mediator in this war because he's the only leader who can talk to both sides. and that's why he has been pushing for further steps to be taken into the direction of a diplomatic solution of peace talks. but i should also mention that in western

capitals there in many are increasingly alarmed, add add ones, deepening ties with protein. so i think many eyes are going to be on these meetings today and leave them. but he has neither ukraine nor russia seem to be ready for a peace deal right now. is a diplomatic solution. are realistic at all. i don't think that's what we're talking about right now. a diplomatic solution would be possible if one of the sides would not see any chance of gaining more ground or if one of the sides would see themselves in a position to really get through. was there, major demands? these demands are, of course, incompatible. russia is basically demanding a capitulation of ukraine, demanding a say in the future of the country, plus keeping these territories that they are now occupying. ukraine is, of course,

not ready to give away these territories. and i think no matter how much pressure there would be on a president of ukraine to compromise on territorial integrity. i think it would be very difficult in this country to, to, to get such a deal. so people here are really opposed to that, and they see it, they see the goal for russia to leave ukraine alone and to remove their troops from ukrainian so. so these 2 things are incompatible. i could imagine that these talks are rather the, a pass to opening more, but more diplomatic channels to resolve some a specific issues. like, for example, the situation around the atomic, the nuclear plant in the upper regia, which is getting more and more delicate, which is getting more and more dangerous. here you mentioned earlier that the grain deal, the agreement to enable grain shipments from ukrainian ports. that was

a big diplomatic set success both with the un and for, for, for add a want is that deal holding was definitely gonna be on the agenda today. a main topic. it's been nearly a month now since that deal has been signed by russia and ukraine. here in east symbol, it's been hailed as a success by turkey and the united nations who have brokered the agreement and it is in fact the 1st major agreement reached in this war mathias just mentioned how difficult it is to take further steps for diplomatic efforts. now we have some figures actually there from the united nations, and according to that, some 560000 metric tons of grain and other agricultural products have been shipped out of ukraine in the past 2 weeks to world markets on 21 authorized vessels. now ukraine has a huge interest in speeding up this whole process to be able to export even more grain in the weeks to come. and i think this is going to be part of the message

that we're gonna hear in olivia today from mr. quoterush. mr. edwards and mr. lensky, that this steel, how no matter how complicated and tricky it is, it is actually working. and it might have created, in the most hopeful case, some momentum for further efforts in steps. so to be taken a diplomatic efforts to a political solution in this war, dw correspondence, martinez, billing and 11th. johan in istanbul, thank you both very much. so now it's been more than one years since afghanistan fell to the taliban. thousands of people who fled the country in the chaotic final days before the militant group took over with in afghanistan, there are still about 3500000 people who are internally displaced. after decades of war, political repression and food shortages is unclear. how many want to or can make it

out of the country now? worldwide, the united nation, but a nation's puts that number of registered african refugees at 2600000 with almost no people voluntarily returning to afghanistan. that number is unlikely to go down. but the, when was that, the real number of refugees, including unregistered people, is almost certainly much higher. the vast majority about 80 percent of those refugees are in pakistan. and iran. germany is home to about 180000 african refugees. more than any other country in europe by far since the taliban take over berlin has promised to accept about 30000 more. don't forget afghanistan, this post to reads and urgently during this protest in berlin, one year after that taliban takeover. germany is not fulfilling its promises protest to say several 100 people who mostly worked for the german army,

are still hoping to be admitted to germany. i wouldn't move, leach, does he find it disgraceful that the german government has not fulfilled its promise? getting the local forces out of afghan. stan is needed as soon as possible. put a year ago. many people ask if what could be done for of janice done. everyone wanted to do something back than it was always clear, depends on what we do in a year and what we do now. people are still suffering. also attending the protest now against a student from afghanistan, her family was threatened by the tally bon. the 21 year old moved to germany 6 years ago. since the taliban take over, 12 of the members of the family have also sought refuge in germany. now they are all meeting up again for the 1st time in berlin or a union that would not have been possible without the help of nar gus. but also thanks for the involvement of many others, like her teacher needs to be at the end with the help of

a really wonderful lawyer and a lot of support from different people. it was possible that heather here, everybody who is here now and got visa and you know, it's the 1st time we'll come together. it was all about the calling and zoom video . and it's the 1st moment. yeah. when we'll come together and we're emotional and really beautiful to see everybody's safe. no. they might be safe here. but nah, gets us on still his painful memories of last year's events at martinez tell him if he said taliban are the same taliban as 20 years ago. through the media and tv interviews, we tried hard pleaded for canister not to go back 20 years. but unfortunately, afghanistan was pushed back a century. that's all happened. mina dairy was deputy male, head out in. even brent for parliament,

she actively supported women's rights in campaign for a more modern afghanistan. she was a public figure when the taliban to cobble, she was forced to go into hiding with her family. now the hiding is over for now gives a temporarily relief, but not every one is safe yet. since i thought there were more family members in afghanistan and they all hope they will somehow get 8 right now. everything is very difficult and seems impossible shine and nicholas sang only the one is moving a little so they still don't lose hope about being able to move to germany. to finally be able to see their relatives in person and not on his screen. with him on this, let's bring a lucas vena from this sponsorship network for afghan employees. how has the taliban se takeover impact with the situation for african refugees? we can only talk for local staff or local staff has fled to various countries such

as pakistan. iran is, are holding out there is extremely afraid of being expedited from these countries because often their, their visas are running out. and we've also had cases where our local staff has taken you identities soon. just one and a half weeks ago taliban fighters were looking at a village in bog province for our former employees. and we just grateful them. now the crisis has led to intensified efforts to support african refugees. what exactly is being done? well, german government has continued to evacuate local staff and human rights activists . and we are organization. we have also evacuated at the local staff. since last year we've been able to evacuate $334.00, follow locally staff and families,

and we continue to do so. we currently have over 300 local stuff on the waiting list and we are a strong dialogue with the german government to, to reform of the local staff procedure. germany is home to most african refugees in europe. yet the german government has been criticized from fulfilling its promises. what is your assessment? that's a difficult question. because indeed, there we had some problems in the past. for instance, local staff, which worked for the german government before 2013, was been able to admit being admitted to germany. family members such as age and your children left behind and got a son and were slowly getting into a process where we are able to even bring people. and the german government has a new mindset where they're opening up. and that's why we urge local stop to

contact us so that we can put them on our list, which will pop on to the german government. so one of the biggest problems for the integration of african refugees into western society. well yeah, there is plans to come from a society especially during the last year which changed back to 20 years ago. and just in my own district, i currently have for me to 2 families where we experienced the divorce. and we see that african women really have a lot of problems here changing to, to our society. and it's why empowerment is a big topic for us. we will apply by the end of the year own woman's commissioner in our own organization to really to care for these women to counsel them to consult them. and we see often usually local staff is better and better able to, to integrate into german society. but still deal or problems become they come from a different culture from a different society. thank you very much. lucas,

vena from the sponsorship network for afghan employees of the german forces. thank you. the la valley and france as a unesco world heritage sites, attracting visitors from all over the world. but this year, even its flat bottom barges cant ferry tourists around you to extremely low water levels. river flow is at less than a 20th of average annual levels. below our river in france is famous for the historic castles dotted along its banks. it's also famously a shallow river, but with water levels at near record lows. even the locals are shocked. it was some, at least it makes me sad, a mouthpiece because it makes me sad because i grew up in the village. i made it and i had never seen the river like this toy dog. we used to go to the water holes over there with the children and fish because the water wasn't too high or lunatic,

but he should let no one. yep. now there's just algy and frogs, lafferty, sal, good. d conroy. the reduction in water has been disastrous for much of the areas ecosystem. many islands i now connected to the shore, cutting off various waterways. fish have been robbed of the space they need to survive and reduced to living and pawns. scientists say the current low water level is something of a wider wake up call. it charged no, didn't under it at the low water level, this year is quite exceptional. it's due to a major deficit and rainfall that began last winter g. it's led to many small tributaries of the law to dry up or not. it's just your net degree more with france currently facing severe droughts and several regions in torrential rain and flooding and others. many experts are calling for a rethink when it comes to the use of essential natural resources. monkey magic it

on climate change is underway, and it's undeniable. and it must encourage us to reflect on our rules for sharing water resources. we must understand that we're all affected and 70 and with extreme weather events only set to increase in the future. the issue is not going away any time soon. several people have been injured at least 3 of them seriously after they jumped from a train that had drawn too close to a forest fire in east and spain, the driver had stopped the train that was preparing to reverse away from the flames . when panic passengers tried to escape, cellphone video captures the moment inside the train, which prompted some panic passengers to break the window and jump. the train was traveling north from valencia when this while fire brought it to a halt. the driver asked passengers to stay on board while she reversed away from

the danger. not every one listen. some ran back to the station. others returned to the train with severe burdens. weep, emergency services were dispatched to the train, stopped in cordial eastern spain to treat the shaken and the injured people in the small community also helped out with the law. had that with the whole said, we have to get out here no matter what. because it's a diesel train. me near lab will out of the eyes he alhashan yoga, ambulances came and severely burned. woman was evacuated to hospital by a helicopter woodward, but landed on the local football pitch. and i am out on what hot off the duncan lost her. you thought my the injured when in bad condition. the passengers were scarce. i waddled. we gave them water and did everything we could for them. then a bus came and took them to safety down the road a bit too. people had to be evacuated by helicopter, while others, including

a young girl of about 10, were transported tenure by hospitals, valencia the latest region to experience severe forest fires caused by spain's prolonged heat way. at least 3 firefighters were injured this week, battling the blaze and eastern spain, which is for some 1000 residence to flee their homes. investigation is underway to determine why the train was permitted to travel into an area with an active wildfire. now, should celebrities get special treatment from governments like the members of the world famous k pop group, bts? arguably, some of south korea's greatest cultural ambassadors. these asian nation mandates 2 years of military service for young men. so the boy banquets find itself rehearsing parade drills that a funky dance moves when the coupon with a $100.00 and a parliamentary debate in soul on a key matter of national defense. a policy issue close to the hearts of pop fans in

south korea and beyond. if k, pop boy, ban bts are required to do their military service, will they be confined to barracks and disappear from view? well, as a chance, it might not happen. what is the youth about him? he'll even if they join the military, knew there be a way to give them a chance to practice and perform together if they're scheduled concerts abroad. and then i was good news for the fans. all young, physically fit south korean man must do 21 months of military service. a legacy of the korean war which ended nearly 7 decades ago. technically south or north korea signed an armistice, but never a peace treaty. the korean peninsula remains heavily militarized. the idea of the pop stars, a soldier has a long history in popular culture. when u. s. rock'n'roll legend, elvis presley entered the army in 1958. the day became known as black monday. but

the king of rock'n'roll service did much to boost the public perception of the military. bts could even benefit from taking up arms. south koreans who do their military service are very popular. people, highly value are to serving in the military. this may boost their popularity. kobylinski poopoo in 2011 south korea's modern day elvis counterpart. rain made a public display of his loyalty when he was forced to join a 29 dodging the draft certainly doesn't go down well with the public. meanwhile, there are special rules for sports stars. tottenham hotspur, footballer, son, his men was exempted from service because he had won a medal at the asian games. but he still had to complete 3 weeks basic training which he did in 2020. during the english premier leagues enforced asia during the coven pandemic lockdown. with b t s, the issue is coming to a head. the oldest member of the band gin is turning 30 in december. this year.

. are you watching the w. c. as a reminder, the top stories were following for you this hour. ukrainian authority say russian shelley has killed at least 7 people in ukraine, 2nd largest city khaki. the regional governor said at least 16 people were injured in the attack on the suburb of se ukrainian presidential of his events. he called it a cynical strike on seville and that's it from me and the news team don't go away. coming up next is conflict zone with tips about staging with
