complex relationship with animals. clover, i think i will live long enough to witness the end of factory farming. the great debate this week on d. w or ah ah, this is d w. news live from further the battle for back moved in ukraine. it is a crucial fight rushes. wagner merchant report says it is almost completely surrounded the city and only one rode out remained also on the program for swans down the search for bodies in its worst rail disaster. but anger is growing,

ral union, say, lack of investment is to blame, also coming up. oh, well, a day of global protest, as young people demand urgent action against climate. ah, m. anthony had walked into the program. the commander of russia's wagner mercenary crew, claimed his fight as if almost surrounded the besieged ukrainian city of buck. moot, new trenches have appeared in villages outside of the city. this defense forces digging against the russian advance. residents are also leading their humps. this online video supposedly shows wagner fighters celebrating on top of a ruined building in the east to backward. but it should go walk back, no units are you have almost completely surrounded by. oh. well,

there is only one road out left. yes, this pincers will have come together. and i know great if previously it had been the professional ukrainian army who fought with us to day we see more and more and elderly people and children or they fight them. but their life in back moot is very sure. one though 2 days by cumulative gora, let them leave the city. it is almost surrounded was wrong. so is it just a matter of time before russian forces take back? what a put that to they doubly correspond in keith martez pulling what it looks pretty much most leg that are the russian troops are in the north, in the south and east of the city. so it's surrounded from 3 sides. that seems to

be pretty well established, and the question is now whether ukraine will be able to keep the road that leads into bar mood open and at what price they will be able to do that. ukraine is denying that they're retreating, but that's not a surprise. they will most likely only announce it after it's done. that's for a security reasons. they will try to get as much equipment out of then leave just one small batch of soldiers to keep the russians in check why the others are leaving. and then retreat very quickly. that's why they've done it before this has been the battle of many months around the city and the russians have been advancing slowly but steadily. it looks pretty much like her, the ukrainians are organizing a retreat. but we don't know for sure. it's the fog of the war. we have very many, many conflicting information about what's really going on on the ground. ukraine is

saying that they are holding back more than that. they're not retreating, but we will know the, the facts and a few days that is added to that. ukraine is also ordered a partial evacuation in the northeast city frontline city of copy answer what's the situation that we were talking about? an evacuation of civilians not an evacuation of the city. not a retreat. um, there has been fights going on near coupons care people, but the russian army has tried to across the river, which is outside the city. a few kilometers outside the review of the city, and there has been constant shelling of the city of this evacuation that they are saying obligatory i vocation of children and people with limited mobility. however, ukraine has not and forced so far this kind of evacuation,

even if they called it compulsory in other parts of, of ukraine. for example, in the don bus. there was a similar announcement, a few months ago, there and her, the people who are still left in caribbeans. and we've been there a few times during the past 2 weeks. the people who are still there, they are reluctant to leave. most people have already left, it seems to be about one 5th of the people, mostly elderly people who are still there. and that's pretty much what we've seen throughout. and that's what they swore in these places. they're very close to the frontline. there's always a part of people who do not want to leave either because they do not know where to go. they do not trust that the, the announcement that they will have will be provided shelter in aid. so they prefer to stay on their own ground, or they're afraid of, of fluting or, or they just say that they've lived there their whole life and they're not ready to

leave. the deadly correspondent that is building it in keith. thank you. the ward ukraine will top the agenda for german chancellor left shots in talks with us president joe biden in washington. the 2 leaders will focus on support for keith and concerns that china is planning to provide. so with military assistance, so was lost at the white house shortly before the invasion. his trip is expected to be low profile with a news conference scheduled so far, chat for her today, d, w. mckayla. kristen is following the story for us in washington and told me what we can expect from the meeting. well, a closed door meeting, that's what we're being told. a one on one meeting between the us, present and the dumb and chancellor. yes, indeed, it doesn't get much more low key than this, but the issues are very much high profile. and the situation in back move in ukraine, of course, is expected to be talked about. and those continuing calls of,

i voted me as a lensky who in recent weeks met both german chancellor under us present in the past. and those 2 are expected to exchange notes on those very meetings and is repeated calls for more weapons and more ammunition. as so much ammunition is being used on ukrainian territory a day by day and more than nato can produce it together every day. so that something the both eat as are discussing. and of course, then there is china at something the united states is expected to fondly put on the agenda with china still saying it is not supplying any weapons, but growing concerns that there could be a breach of the ban on any weapons being supplied to russia mckayla, just as a follow up to that. how much effort do we know is being devoted by germany and the us trying to prevent china entering the you friend will, as you say, as a weapon supplier to moscow. well, let's put it this way at,

this is top of the list of the political agenda. china, let's just remind ourselves, says it is against a conflict. it's has itself put of what he calls a piece plan on the table. it agrees with the un carter that said the territorial integra see of all nations should not be intruded upon at the same time as china has been speaking to russia throughout, has been supporting russia and how much this is actually manifest itself in physical support. and that is something that intelligent services are looking at very closely. and there's a lot of question marks where the china is doing the once it is saying the one thing doing the other it. so what we are getting as a clear message here is that if china is being found in violation of supplying weapons, that that would have consequences. and i'm pretty sure that today's will be talking about what consequences those would be. but it's also

a very clear message that we won't be told about this in fans outside the white house, the w mikaela cook. thank you. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other news headlines from around the world to sell veterans, human rights activists and nobel peace prize winner alice filiette ski has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. black court in bella bruce. he was charged with smuggling cash into believers to allegedly fund opposition activities. his supporters of called it a fake trial. the world health organization is urging countries to come forward with any information on the origins of the coven. 19 pandemic agencies. director general says its investigations are still ongoing. if b r has said a leak at the laboratory in the most likely course in albania, thousands of opposition support of march ethridge through the capital, tirana, demanding the resignation of prime minister. any rama. they accuse him of corruption, which they say has pushed families into poverty and led to an exodus of young
