switzerland, that there could be a new crisis on the horizon. however, we heard today from euro group president donna how, who's told us that he is confident that banks and the euro zone, our resilience, that they have for reserves to ensure stability in the european banking sector. so let's set the stakes here a little bit. what kind of risks are there for the european union in relation to if i the banking crisis? well, there are certainly risks still. we have to say and done a whole also warned, against being too complacent. in 2014 the euros own members agreed on a banking union to insure the stability of the whole sector. and for instance, since dan banks in europe have to had to have high financial capital buffers. however, this union is not finished by now. there are still some measure of step to needs to

be implemented. for instance, a deposit guarantee scheme. they're still working on that, and experts say that that's long as that is not a done deal. there are still risks for do you think we are going to see concrete results coming out of this summer then? well, i wouldn't be so confident because i think we are going to to see probably a statement at the aunt of the meeting today. but i don't expect any decisions just in exchange. and as i said, probably a message of reassurance there. thank you so much for that update. that's alexandra phenomena for us in brussels, to the war in ukraine where russian and ukrainian troops continue to fight fierce and deadly battles in the countries east. bock moot is the city that come to symbolize slow moving battles at high human cost. but there is another frontline

town in eastern ukraine that is also home to crucial ukrainian resistance. that city is of d of car. it is almost completely encircled by russian forces, much like back, moot to the north. the city of of diva may not look like much of a prize and battle. there simply isn't much left of it. but resident say the russian seems set on battering their city into submission. this eerie silence a rail and fighting booth to him. there are plains rockets here all the time. every day you see there to them both for want video. you're good. at birds, eye view shows there's barely a town left to occupy, but this isn't stopping rush and fire lucia muzzle. the situation was getting worse and worse. the muso for getting bigger or buildings literally collapses. lawgroup. western intelligence ant ukrainian commander, say the fighting full of diva is some of the fiercest off. the wall. comparisons

are being drawn to the embattled city of buck malt located on the front line. and don, yes, province of defect is another stubborn thorn in the side of russian troops trying to advance west data gathered by the institute for the study of war shoes. the kremlin forces have almost surrounded the city, an apparent attempt to cut of diva off from its western supply lines. so far like back moot f. d fca has held out ukrainian trip, say they're managing to stop russian forces from breaking through the defense line . but commanders are having to way up the use of every shell and bullet. you look, we are trying to serve him, newsome, with as much as we can possibly increased this breakthrough to boil. the city's fierce defense has ended to reputation as a 2nd front line fortress and local. se of diva has an advantage over by moot,

it's been on the frontline since the don bass conflict started in 2014 lose. this is a very serious fortification line. all armed concrete with bunker's, israel fortress is protected better than boat than you boggled 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 feel they just can't leave are so we have what about leaving my sons? i am the cemetery. no one needs me any more. if you go when you lose, but it's a sentiment shed by others, local officials say some 2000 people have chosen to stay in the city. they belong called hein? with russian traipse pushing to encircle f d fca. they face

a growing risk of being left to their own devices and i'm joined, lie via shields of price spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross. he just returned to key from ukraine, front lines where his organization is providing humanitarian a. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. we talk a lot about the developments on the battlefield, but i want to know what the situation is like for civilians and ukrainian towns that are under seas or close to coming under siege. i think the images that you just shown and the stories of people that you have just shared, speak for themselves. and this is the same stories that i have heard only a few days ago when i was near these localities on the front line. i was in, solidify that 40 kilometers from us. and it was all other localities that are close to the image that we are seeing is an image of destruction. and it's hard to

imagine that civilians remain in the areas yet. several thousands of them are surviving in these turbo conditions. one man, man nichol. i met in a nearby village close to baltimore told me, we are not living here. we are merely surviving. and that's really what i could feel when speaking to people there to see william there. and just the amount of destruction to the fact that the villages have been destroyed, build days are destroyed, schools homes are destroy. it is just shocking. during this interview, we are looking at some of the footage the organization has provided to d. w with so many people having fled frontline areas. we just saw in that last footage a glimpse of some of the people who have chosen to stay behind. who are they and why are they staying? it's a lot of people are elderly. we also see people who are low mobility people with disabilities, but also some younger people who simply refused to leave older family members

behind and people who simply refused to leave what they have called their home for their entire life. so i spoke, for example, to a young man named daniel, a 19 year old man, and he told me he doesn't want to leave because his grandfather lives in this town and he doesn't want to leave him. so all these people who are remaining there are lacking essential, they're lacking water, they're lacking food. they're lacking hygiene items. whatever aids we can bring in makes their lives possible under such difficult conditions. so it really is my society's most vulnerable, facing these conditions. how difficult is it for you to reach these areas with a they need it's quite difficult and long the roads are not really good. also, there are many military checkpoints, it's evelyn militarized areas. and of course, when you see some such amount of destruction in the cities,

you can imagine that it's a dangerous place when we are offloading the. i was myself on a convoy that delivered 17 tons of food to come to me. i go when we are offloading the trucks, we hear in the background constant explosions, exchange of artillery. so it's not easy to reach these places. nevertheless, we know that billions are there and it's our military duty to provide them with the assistance that they need to survive. thank you so much for that up day. i also want to ask you about the situation of pro russian civilians in areas affected by the fighting. how are these people treated by ukrainian authorities and the military? it's really difficult for me to, to, to talk about this because i talked to the spoke themselves and when they speak to me, they don't talk about politics or which side they support. they talk about their need,

they need the essentials, they're telling us what they need to survive. and what i can say is that they have hope for peace and for a better life for them and for their families. well, thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on d w. that was a sheer to pay from the i c r c. take care. thanks for having me. and we can bring you up to speed now with some other stories making headlines around the worlds. denmark has asked the russian controlled operators of the north stream to pipeline to help salvage an unidentified object found on the sea bed beside it. it is the last intact nord stream pipeline, after 3 explosions, destroyed the others. last september. authorities have yet to determine who is responsible for those blasts. she begins north korea's as it has tested a new underwater nuclear attack drone, as well as cruise missiles. young has carried out his fate of weapons tests in recent days in response to joint south korea. u. s. military trading exercises

very own jonathan crane up from d. w sports. jonathan, tell us what's going on here? why are we seeing this now with so few league games left to play? a bit of a surprise, really not least, to do the now go from himself. when i finish for media reports to be believed. he found out about this through the media and not through the club itself. yeah. head scratching decision because okay, buying havent been at the best this season and they have very high standards. of course have drawn an awful lot of games in the league. but in the champions league, the stern, the champions, we've had a great win over paris azure man in the last round, they won a south of 8th and that competition, the season, the travel is still a lie fall in that league. the chairman come on the champions lee, and they're already one point off the top of the table, dorman leave by one point, and those 2 sides play each other next. so it is still all in brian's hands. so a lot of people wondering why he made this decision now. yeah, and i mean, he led byron to the title in his 1st season,

so there must be something behind it. yeah, people saying this is more than just about results, surely because i said, okay, the results haven't been great. and the defeat against a labor tuesday that the weekend probably a sign of how things have gone wrong for by the season on the pitch, unless 14 director has some sort of homage. they said that they were inferior to labor, isn't in all areas the piece, you can see one of the penalty decisions in that match there. better. yes, suggestions, things were not all well behind the scenes. and also at the board level, there's a lot of big egos, a lot of people to manage and not forget. now it was nice and he's 35 years old. so a lot for him to handle. another reason maybe buying, lining up thomas trickle. they probably didn't want to miss out on him and missed out on him in 2018 when he went to paris and your math is reportedly been courted by taught my ranma trips by and try to get in there 1st. so to call as a potential replacement for now, goldman, what we think of that? well, i mean he's, he's bought could result. so he's one side to was in france on the german cup when

he was a torment. he took chelsea all the way in the champions league said he has a lot of credentials, but if somebody comes with a bit of baggage, he's known as a coach is quite hard to manage is quite an abrasive character. he is often left clubs in acrimonious circumstances, so that would seem counter to what bind we're talking about just a started last week when they wanted the long term plan. to call isn't somebody tends to hang around at clubs for very long. so a slightly strange decision if they gave him, there's no doubt what he can do from the dug out. thank you so much for that update . that is jonathan crane for us from these points appreciate at and just before we go, let's get a reminder of our top story. i felt that were your readers are meeting in brussels for a 2nd day with concerns about the economy at the top of the agenda. it's feared that jitters and the banking sector, along with high inflation,
