it's been on the frontline since the don bass conflict started in 2014 robins. this is a very serious fortification line. all armed concrete with bunker's, israel fortress is protected better than bottled than you bottled the fortress or not, the ukrainian government has advised of div got people not to take their chances. of voluntary evacuation effort has emptied the city of most of its 25000 residents . but some field they just can't leave are so we what about leaving my sons? i'm the cemetery. no one needs me any more. you're going to lose money. so it's a sentiment shed by others, local official say, some t 1000 people have chosen to stay in the city. they have long, cool time. with russian traipse pushing to encircle f d fca. they face

a growing risk of being left to their own devices. have certainly tried to take of the car for a long time now since the beginning of the special military operation. i think the efforts have been made since march 2022. however, the offensive has never been successful and the ukrainian forces are still holding up the however, the russian forces are now trying to integrate c l in our in delton d on our proxy forces in order to reinforce is a or a tam to surround the city because that is from where the russians are claiming that the ukrainians are attacking the mask. and so it would be important for the russians to take the city. but what is more important for the russians is to cause as many casualties for the ukrainian forces in order to prevent a possible spring counter offensive. or, and ukraine was the main focus of european leaders gathered in brussels yesterday.

they dos to plan to send a 1000000 rounds of artillery ammunition to ukraine over the next year to help him out on going battle against the russian invasion. well today, discussions terms of european economy and the reason terminal in the banking sector and brussels bureau chief, alexandra fum nomine is very welcome. alexandra. let's start with that agreement to increase military support for you. crime. well, it is indeed a big deal from brussels perspective, sir. because as you know, the european union has been created as her project, her for peaceful goals, and now its members are willing to deepen their military corporation and they are willing to jointly buy ammunition. so it is a big deal. however, we also have to say that they will really need to massively ramp up production of

ammunition when you consider that ukraine uses up to $200000.00 artillery shell, sir in a month. and the european defense industry can only so far produce around 25000 in the same time frame frame. so they will need to massively wrap up the production . and we'll see whether there are really capable of achieving this goal to provide you provide ukraine with a 1000000 artillery rounds in the next 12 months. okay, so that was a yesterday, thursday to day. it's all about the economy. all eyes on the turmoil as be shaking the global banking sector. what can we expect there? well, i think that the sir topic is on the agenda because of course there are concerns in the european union and also in the euro group among those members who use the euro as their currency. concerns over weaknesses in the global banking sector and stare

will speak about it to the leaders will meet with european central bank president christine regard, regard. and i think the main goal here is to send a signal of confidence to reassure every one that there are savings in the european union in the euro or area are safe. and because we overall have to say that the banks in the euro area are more robust and may be in other parts of the world. and for alexandra, alexandra from norman in brussels. good look at small stories making headlines around the world. we'll start with north korea, which says it's tested, a new underwater nuclear attack drone, as well as cruise missiles. young carried out a state of weapons test in recent days in response to joint south korea and u. s. military training exercises german rail operate. the deutscher bank has canceled all of its a long distance trains ahead of monday's one day national transport strikes.

regional rail roots are also expected to be have effected. germany is busiest airport frankfurt and munich of also scrapped a passenger flights to france, which is bracing for more protests against president democracy, controversial reform plans as seen as a test for his government. a test of his government authority, hundreds of people were arrested as that demonstrations became violent in some cities on thursday. a protest is in bordeaux set fire to the town hall. the strong door at its main entrance was in a 1000000 people joined nationwide day of action was unions called for more mass walk out at the heart of the french capital. thousands have taken to the streets for yet another day, trying to pressure their president in manuel. my call to dropped the reform, which would raise the minimum age of retirement from $62.00 to $64.00. and the

crowd. many are still decades away from retirement. this movement represents human rights. like it's a philosophy of light. do we want to work? and so where 64 are not, you know, and i chose to not but not all. the protests had such a relaxed atmosphere. police continued to detain protesters with hundreds, now arrested since the demonstrations broke out. some $5000.00 ride police deployed in paris, firing tear gas into the crowds. hello, she's got lots of it will be here until the reform is removed. we're not tired, we're not running out of steam and i think it's going to get a little bit tougher. but at each mobilization will be there,

including every day and even in the evening at night in the morning. we have to block everything. whatever happens, protesters see they are not backing down. that's a big news from germany's bone does. league or by munich has reportedly sacked co julian nozzles, man with immediate effect the weekends last to buy a laver cousin worth the latest for result in apache season for the champions. we're going for an 11th title in a row. novels were cut and irritated, figured on the touch line as his team failed to make up ground on leaders. beraskigy dormant now looked to have been his last game in charge with bye and hierarchy, and reportedly lined up former dormant and chelsea coach thomas to go to replace it . jonathan crane from dw sport is here to tell us more about what is a pretty huge story jonathan at welcome. this must have been a massive surprise,

especially with so few games left to play the season. yeah, huge surprise. i really don't think many people now kaufman included, saw this coming, a lot of people scratching their heads because okay, bye. and i'm not really been at the best at many times the season, the drawing a lot in the league, but they are still on for the tribal that's really relieved. the cap and the champions leave. the champions league in particular bite have been brilliant for they want a south of our 8 games they played. they had a command victory over pi sanjay man in the last round. so it is a bit surprising that this has happened. now am now chrisman, reportedly finding out 3 rumors and not actually being officially informed by the club while he was on a skiing holiday. in austria, i think that in itself apparently something reba. hi, rocky frown upon taking a holiday when they think that a lot of work still needs to be done. ok. but when he went there, he, he won the title, attack cancer in his 1st season. so what's, what's gone wrong? what's changed? well, i mean, as i mentioned,

the results and ends kind of bias performance is perhaps not up to the usual imperious standards at this season. i think we probably saw that in the, the defeat against labor coups and the weekends are by and sporting direct to have some sort of ham. is it a describe that is being a by and being inferior in all sections of the pit? we can see that, that, but i think you know, by now still on for the trouble as i said. so this must be more than just about results or suggestions that things perhaps behind the scenes. not doing so well. perhaps now guzman, you know, struggling to get all the dressing room behind in this big egos as we know by and both in the dressing room and also in the clubs are a hierarchy. but perhaps more practically, and thomas to call you mentioned he's been on bronze radar for a long time. they wanted him in 2018, but then he went to paris center man. he was reported he being courted by taught them and re madrid at the moment supply and thinking. we didn't want to miss out on him again. and so let's talk about thomas to hold and the reported replacement full,

full nicholson and what do you think? well, he's a coach, he's been pretty successful wherever he's been. he won the german cup for his parisha dockman. he won the title in france, the passenger match when the champions league with chelsea. in fact, chelsea the 2nd club after pasty, he took to the final of the champions lisa, there's no doubting his pedigree, but he's also someone who might consider a high maintenance manager. he hassles out with people quite easily. he's had acrimonious to parts, is that those 3 clubs i mentioned, and i was, they said by and, you know, this is a club with a lot of egos. they used to be caught se hollywood and they were called that for good reason. so, you know, it's, it's quite quite ironic because not long ago, bonds hierarchy we're talking about now going to the long term plans with him. chuckle is not really a coach. he hangs around at the club for not really a long term plan, but maybe a better irony for buying would be if he could to help them tip his old arrival or without sub domains to the title. okay, thanks for that. so joseph, and that was more of this to come,

but for now thank you. delta craig dw sport. well, i set you up today, declare riches, and we'll have more world news at the top of the our next here on d w doc fil, looking at the invisible river, able to water masses of the amazon rain forest. good day, a great weekend with interest in the global economy, our portfolio d. w. business beyond. here's a closer look at the project.
