personal gathering of peace and cooperation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrorists, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team and immediately killed one man, and that this will be the last time i saw him in life. our worst fears realized tonight, they're all gone out. i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this the world shouldn't forget the long shuttle. the 1972 olympic massacre start september 3rd on d. w. they came to test the waters to day, the turkish president and the secretary general of the un sat down with willow demure zalinski to explore options for peace negotiations. with russia. after all, the duel had been successful at brokering a long awaited great deal between the warring countries. so why not keep trying

building on the positive momentum both offered to act as mediators and the search for a diplomatic solution to the bloody conflict. but the lensky has a clear message to the aggressor. we won't talk until you leave. i'm nicole. felicia, berlin, and this is the day. ah, yes, i'm very grateful for these negotiations. i'm very grateful for the support. so we have remained and will continue to remain on the side of our ukrainian friends. at the same time, she's going to my have to underline that there is no trust in russia, was little. we deliberated on the possibilities of evolving the positive atmosphere, created by the system, will feel into lasting peace, all about what we're thinking in this. we know we see the constant fighting from

side. that's why they have cost war we from all whatever. and also on the day fears of another chernobyl as fighting flares up around europe largest nuclear power plant. nearly 30 equipment and personnel should be withdrawn from the plant. further deployment of forces or equipment to the sides must be avoided. the area needs to be put out and we must feel as he sees every potential damage. who's up, what is your, is suicide. it's been almost half a year since russia invaded ukraine fighting rages on with seemingly no end in sight to the bloodshed. but thursday saw some activity, at least on the diplomatic front. ukrainian president followed amir zalinski hosted talks with the president of turkey rich of type ardon,

and the un secretary general antonio terrace. he items of concern renewed grain shipments and the nuclear threats at supper regia. on the bigger question of whether russia and ukraine could negotiate their way out of the war, some optimism from the turkish president and the reality check from ukraine. we should be good. we deliberated on the possibilities of evolving the positive pharmacy crated by the stumble deal into lasting he's missing from the and under the charleston. i personally remain convinced that the wall will come to an end of the negotiation table on joomla morpho. i am very surprised to hear that they are ready for some kind of peace the people who kill rate, it's our civilian cities, with cruise missiles every day, cannot want peace 1st, they should leave our territory. i am now pleased to welcome alexander share by

he's a former ambassador to austria from ukraine. he's also the author of ukraine versus darkness. a collection of essays based on the 2 and a half decades he spend as a career diplomat and speech writer for ukrainian leaders. mr. sharva. so good to see you. i want to begin by asking you reject type early one says he thinks a lasting peace can evolve from the grain deal. do you share that optimism? well, it can be just the beginning of the path to the lesson piece, but the real chance for the lead thing piece would be the moment when we start pushing, pulling back from our territory. that would be the moment when fields you losing the, losing this war. and that will be the moment when you decide to really give diplomacy. because until now, whatever came whatever conversations about diplomacy and the full solution that

came from moscow, from the genocide and many of the grammar. and it was all a just show you didn't mean anything by so when early on now come face to face for the 1st time with the ukranian president saying that he supports ukraine in the fight. does that mean that they are a trustworthy ally to bring that message to, to put, and you think well, it just so happened. that guy is right now, the main negotiator between ukraine and russia. if there is any chance of, you know, bringing any crime to counsel signal from one side to another via and it's why it's working. and we are thankful for that bill. so thank what we call the weapons that

supplies to russia. but again, there's a form, a diplomat. i have to say right now, i don't see my or diplomatic kind solution just yesterday, rush destroyed with an extremely expensive nissan rocket. is there a dormitory in where people was hearing impairments live? so 17 people died. many are one dis, just general 5 people were hit without even hearing the something was coming their way. and this is what's happening every day. he just my rep europe, the biggest atomic nuclear power plan. so this is what we're dealing here with just it's a man, it's a man yet. who feels like the world isn't ready to give him

any, you know, red line. so even to even attempt diplomacy with what you call a maniac. at some point, when the man realizes that he is losing losing maybe every thing that it would be a chance that the remains of what he has confound would play a role. but right now, he is just this block 3rd big creature, killing thousands in ukraine, deporting thousands, making millions homeless. and if there is no inside, was what is doing right now as we are speaking the right. the reason, once again, the air raid siren you. this is our reality everyday visit like 81 years ago

when i attack union, he's doing all the same thing, my doings, different patients. so he's just just the history once again relieving because now are on with certainly hoping to not leave live today empty handed, but he sort of did. right, because he was certainly rebuffed by, by the lensky saying that, you know, if you, if you want to talk, you 1st need to leave ukrainian territory where you don't bothered by the fact that, you know, early on came to ukraine to tell the president that it needs to negotiate with russia because the president certainly wasn't buying and either well, this is what it has been doing all along and so we are disappointed. we aren't encouraged to get just the air down doing it. maybe maybe

there is some sense to it, but at this point right now, i don't see much of chance of this talk with diplomatic solution. other compromise with a bloodthirsty maniac who conduct genocide right now as we speak. so i'm not very up to mystic i, i wasn't very optimistic for this meeting. i'm not very optimistic after it, but i'm very sick that now as this be, there are 3, be ammunition. they're both in russia and by me, that's a burning ukraine is doing her thing. we are just trying the course of the russian federation. and i want to switch topics a bit. there is a controversial debate going on in many countries, and i would love to hear your opinion on it. should there be a visa band for russian citizen? yes, ukrainian. i'd say yes, because my family lives in vienna,

so many ukrainian refuges live in vienna and they just traveling every day just by the help that they're getting from the west. and they're seeing big, numerous groups of rush and tour just strolling through downtown, enjoying the life like nothing. and what about people trying to leave russia because they faced oppression in their own country? i hope i hope we can draw a line between the students and tourist because indeed we must do it in the way that this is done stuff or that people who are dying and seeking medical help don't suffer. but just doing the tourist thing. if the mapping was, it was happening. if it's wrong, you talked about supper a job before, alleging that was, or his troops were, were booby trapping the nuclear plant. and the ukraine intelligence service 7

warning of russian activity there. what do you believe they are plotting to terrorist? the un secretary general's that any damage to the plan would equal to suicide. think right. hm. so i'm doing what i liked the, the bad. they are raising the face of the game. they like, they enjoy every minute. all this here, the world to feeling the europe is feeling is gone wrong. you know this august you're, you're fine. the world was here. if you're full of so yes, union now they hear us again. so they respect. this is the russians thinking right now, so they are raising the state. but i do hope that they have this modicum of common them. not to do that crazy and same thing from which rustic and buffer immensely to

. and you're not alone in that. alexander. sherpa thank you for your time. thank you. meanwhile, authorities are searching for a survivors of rush and shelling in ukraine, 2nd largest city car. keith official say at least 11 people were killed in a strike on an apartment building car keys in northeastern ukraine has been subjected to continued russian strikes since the start of the war. shelling earlier and the chief con neighborhood killed 7 people. and saw chief guy is a large district in north each hard keep close to the front line and has been the target of russian shelling nearly every day. the mayor of car keefe says a 1000 civilians in the city have already been killed since the war began. dw beckett, a sugar was insulting cough 3 days ago before the latest round of attacks and sent us this report. ah, greg sharps bombed out schools, no gas,

nor water. this used to be a vibrant neighbourhood. months of attacks as the russians tried to smash hockey into. submission hath left salt if car district like this since the start off rush, us invasion salt, if god has borne the brunt of moscow's relentless shelling, we're told to 90 percent of the inhabitants have fled. the neighbourhood, he has certainly feels like a ghost town. it's often the weekend poor who remained enduring months of her tax lunatic. tatiana bosco, are the only people still in their block? them miss? how life used to be lucia good. there were many children running around it, but it was fun living, you know, to go really? yes, we are many kindergartens and schools. everything was there we were. they are doing what they can to prepare for winter and use this basement to high tailoring air raid alarms, why we're down there. we're shelly in the distance. i

was threatening. my biggest fear is still that the russians could come from as best number to from this we can survive with no water, with no electricity from wonderful. but this shooting the rockets hitting us the bullets that frightens me. despite the fear life is slowly returning to south africa. next door workers fix water pipes for the least them at apartments. and patch up the smashed windows to prevent rain and snow making the damage loose, but they are not ready to start. full renovation. a member of hockey's 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 human hockey is being shelled every day of the game. 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 reduce. 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 leave to be back . even though they have no windows, all running water means we don't know what will happen in the winter. we hope there'll be some heating or we have to put more plastic in the windows with nothing. so eager says he's lucky. he's still being paid. as a professional football coach, he proudly shows us his tv. no, believe you move this or the last 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.

as we heard before, the situation at those upper region nuclear power plant euros biggest in the south of ukraine, remains volatile with fighting intensifying around the site. the plant was occupied by russian forces back in march, but is still operated by ukrainian staff. both sides accused the other of targeting a complex d. w. correspond, and gentle upshot spoke with workers who escaped the plant. oh, god is worried. she has not been able to reach her colleagues for days until recently, the engineer worked at this up. what is she a nuclear power plant out of which olga managed to escape? she tries to communicate with employees still on site, but it's becoming increasingly difficult. no more percent of him. i would say that 70 percent of my colleagues no longer show up for work. they're simply too afraid, you can imagine what that means for the ongoing operations, and especially for security precautions on site. that the object olga doesn't want

to be recognized for fear of retaliation. russian troops seized the nuclear lens and the 1st weeks of war. since then, ukraine says, though russians have been turning the facility into a military fortress, they have been several accidents and shelling of buildings on the premises. on one occasion, the emergency power system has to be activated abuse than you could lush on closure. they use this site to put pressure on the ukrainian governmental to blackmail them over a long the power plant is currently a big trump card in the war. but gosh, for the towns may or there's only one solution, a complete withdrawal of the russians from the plant. we reach them by phone and his makes of office and a neighboring town. upon to read, the occupiers are currently breaking all the rules that have been established for

nuclear safety, with the even fire multiplying rocket launchers right from the grounds of the power plant. i hope they will find a solution on an international level to demilitarised the entire site totally gotten responsive, sometimes over receive cellphone videos from colleagues showing the dangerous situation or wrong. our plans here, a bunch of recreational center close to the facility. memories of the cio, norville, disaster come to her mind of, would you like i'm afraid that this could turn out to be 10 times worse ins. parisha. we have 6 reactors and a storage facility for nuclear fuel compared to that in which her noble was a miniature version. in the meantime, olga has found a dropping key of 400 kilometers away in a nuclear emergency. she and her son would probably not be safe here either. she says, but in war time, nowhere is completely safe. ah, it's been a year since the fall of the afghan government to the taliban. the take over

a sparked a mass exodus from the country of people fearing life under islamist rule. but within afghanistan itself, there are also about $3500000.00 displaced people world. why the un puts the number at 2600000 germany as home to about 180000 of them more than any other country in europe by far and has promised to accept about 30000 more. but campaigners say it has broken promises to evacuate hundreds of people who risked their lives working with the german army. don't forget afghanistan, this post to reads and urgently during this protest in berlin, one year of the lit 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, though, so he made it disgraceful that the german government has not fulfilled its promise

. getting the local forces out of afghanistan is needed as soon as possible. but a year ago, many people ask, what could be done for of janice done. every one wanted to do something back than it was always clear. it 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 tarley bon. the 21 year old moved to germany 6 years ago. since the taliban take over 12 or the members of her 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 n, 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 am good visa and you know it's the 1st time we'll come together. it was all about here calling in 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 his canister not to go back 20 years. but unfortunately, afghanistan was pushed back a century. that's all happened. mina, dairy was deputy, mail it out in even dreadful parliament. she actively supported women's rights in campaign for a more modern afghanistan. she was a public figure. when the taliban took 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 hasn't i thought there are more family members in afghanistan and they all hope they will somehow get 8 right now. everything is very difficult and seems impossible, but shine and nicholas sang me the one who's on the roof. 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. ah, trees are one of the main protectors of our climate. they remove carbon dioxide from the air, release, oxygen and cool our cities by the intense heat waves and drought across europe the summer. and i've put trees under severe strain. our very own sophie, kirby reports on what's being done to save them inter when he's capital berlin.

brown crumpled up and blanketing the ground. many trees in germany's capital berlin are losing their leaves or are about to in some parts of iffy it looks almost as if autumn has come early. except it happens. but in this department for the environment told me the trees here suffering from climate stress. that feeling the effects of the extreme heat of recent summers and the ongoing droughts and they're not the only ones. it's a similar story all across europe. even in typically went to places like england, scientists say this is climate change in action is a high probability. we haven't exceptional drought, no, because of the, the effect we have had a climate change that we have. trees are responding start drought by dropping leaps because without us quite water. they comfort

a single fresh i'm so so the leaves are useless. it's an emergency response to protect themselves against the arbitration, the consequences. julie loosely as an ecologist, living in berlin several years ago, she noticed the trees looking sick and decided to help them. i realized how much they needed water and how dry the summer was. and so i know it's supposed to be raining way more than hulu, which is it's nice to have a sunny weather for the murder, but for the trees and the environment, it can be very hard for them. so same disciple, weather over the years. she uses an open source app that maps out nearly all the trees in the city, some 800000 of them. it gives volunteers an overview of what trees have been watered and how much they still need. so just looking at this is incredibly

detailed, i guess both the makers and the uses of this app really appreciate how important trees are for us. yes, i think we're all realizing how important they are. they provide shadow to help cooling down the streets and also for pumping out oxygen deoxygenated. we're breathing. they also help absorb the carbon dioxide and the carbon dioxide, of course, being one of the greenhouse gases that contributes to global warming. yes. yeah, exactly. there are many engaged citizens in berlin, but unfortunately no where near enough the watering the trees, the authorities also don't have the capacity even during milder summers. but in this department for the environment is looking at ways to support trees in the longer term. they include making better use of rain water, planting more climate, resilient species, and working to boost public awareness of just how important trees are for our existence. so that more people start to look after them.

finally, a lighthouse in the german port of braimer half and has tilted sideways and officials say and could topple over completely part of the peer where it's located is thinking authorities of band ships for entering the geese river at the port because of the risk from the lighthouse, which is one of my half and best known landmarks the day is almost done, but as always, the conversation continues on line for now for me and the entire team on the day. thank you so much for spending part of your day with ah, with
