ah ah ah this is the w news live from berlin, britons king charles is in germany on his 1st state visitors, monarch german president, frank published time bio welcomed him and camilla. the queen consort to the brown, the gate here in berlin. the 3 day trips being said as a post wretched opportunity to rebuild relations with the continent also on the

program. ahead of the u. s. nuclear watchdog makes a 2nd visit to ukraine supervision power station. rafael grossey says he still has hopes of a deal being done to protect the plant, which has been captured by invading russian forces. and you'll hear from me, photographer, be far behind that these iconic images of the bombing money off of gaming molar that has been named one of the winners of this year's world press photos contest for communicating the ha ah, i'm feel galle welcome to the program. king charles has arrived in berlin on his 1st overseas visits since becoming british monarch. a burden was meant to be the 2nd stop of the king's european tour. but last week's trip to paris was cancelled following days of street protests of the french government plan pension reforms.

the king of his wife came into the queen. consort will be in germany for 3 days. and i bel, attend the state banquet at the german president's official residence schloss bellevue, a special welcome for special visitors, britton's king, char, so 3rd and his wife camilla, german president, frank by dodge dine. maya, welcome to the royal couple with military honors at berlin's, but unable gate. ah, it's the 1st time the landmark has provided a backdrop for receiving a state guest. aah! on his 1st official state visit abroad as britain's monarch, king charles's hoping to improve the you case strained relations with a european union post breaks it and show he can win hearts and minds brought just

as his mother did for 7 decades at his residence, she must be view, the german president praised the good relations between the 2 countries and houghton. often to day 6 years to the day after britain began the process of leaving the european union, we're opening a new chapter and our relationship together as friends and partners. we're now looking forward to the it's not a form. the german president also praise childs as long interest and environmental causes a topic that will determine the agenda for the 3 day visit. wanted to be polishing their shoes later i corresponded every go, deal has been following the king's visit. welcome, i believe so. how political is this trip? i think it's safe to say that this is darren. this is a british soft power at its finest. and it's not unusual for the you k to use the royals as a, as a form of diplomacy. really. i mean,

if you look at the past in 1964, queen elizabeth actually made her 1st state visit to germany. and that was seen as a sort of the beginning, it marked the beginning of reconciliation between the 2 countries following the 2 wars. and i think we can see a similar thing going on here. after years of disputes over breaks that. and, you know, finally we've now reached the end of a long line with the windsor and framework. i think now is the time. we're now marks a time where we open a new chapter just as i watched i method and as chapter is marked his opening of the chapters marked by the king's visit to germany. ok, so 3 days of sight seeing here in germany was on his agenda. while i mean today, he was a greeted at the brandon mer gates where he obviously was aggressive with this big ceremonial a military ceremony with 4 on a field full military honors, which is quite unusual. but i think it's more more that will be at the center of is,

is it because it's going to be really big day. he starts off meeting on the chancellor off shots. he's going to then hold a speech at in the jam parliament in the bonus tag. is actually meant to hold that in german really. it says yeah, and i think that's really interesting because i mean like father also was fluent in germany. it's going to be quite interesting to see how well, how, how well he holds up will be marketing for his conjugation as he goes along her popular roles here in germany. i think that quite popular. i think if you look at the poll, a 50 percent of germans actually say they are fans of the roles. so that anyway sticks itself. but i think the have many reasons i'm in a way they love the guts and the glam and the gossip that comes with the royal family. i don't think a day a day goes by where the germ tablets, i have a picture of one of the roles on their front pages. and then they're also historical ties. why?

somebody in queen victoria, she married a german prince at the time and the source of connection has gone through generations in a way. i mean, like i said, you know the queen's husband, philip. he also spoke german and then charles the exterminator. there is a continuous connection and i mean family also lives in germany here, family of the royal family and and yeah, basically, so there is that connection and i think that's some of the reasons why they're so popular that us we will see and hear more of you across the next couple of days of this is if another corresponded and recording. thank now russia says it has shot down a long range rocket supplied by the u. s. to ukraine. if confirmed it would be the 1st. i must go down to one of them so far reaching reference to keep says it needs to reach targets in russian occupied parts of ukraine. it has what follows along the way to delivery of western battle tanks to ukraine from germany and the u. k.

so far case forces of had to rely on soviet made armor. i corresponded max anderson this report on the cruise, keeping the old tanks running these men or farmers from the south. now they belong to the most feared units on the battlefield. the soviet era t. 80 takes 3 men to operate at 40 tons and driven at speeds of up to 80 kilometers an hour. gunner basil says the tanks scare the enemy. hello, i will tell you this as soon as they see from the drones how the tanks are coming. then all the artillery is only aimed at us. they forget about the infantry about everything. so they're afraid also, but the tanks need a lot of attention. this one is more than a decade older than the mechanic e otis. and it shows the actual really key thought, if the tank is on really uneven, groaned,

it's often this part of the tracks that breaks and needs to be replaced every now and again. we also have to tighten the tracks missional. let jessica also miss if these tanks may be old and worn down, but they're easy to repair. if the men can get the spare parts, they often find them on the battlefield than martha was up to think it would have done lucy. yes, many russian parts fit our vehicles just. we often dismantle russian tanks for spare parts in the undercarriage is suitable for the wet and often if we find parks suitable for the engine blows up to us in between it. more than a minute. at the start of the war, the ukrainians seem to be facing a superior tank force. but the russians deploy those tanks often in a very risky way without adequate protection from infantry or fighting vehicles. the ukrainians were able to take out and capture close to 2000 of those tax. but they're saying now if they are to have a chance of taking back territory, they would need a significant upgrade themselves. the men here are waiting for better tanks to

arrive from friendly countries. no one else suffers from an irony share and this is the new ones are more maneuverable. they have other equipment of the thermal sites . range finder is, is an end, and ramirez have se in check. the crew is more protected now, the ammunition capsule is placed at the back. now and keep on exist. shenice uni, cops lost inside yet. when they shoot, the capsule flies out. but we don't. capital amenities, remember apartments are in our old tanks. we're sitting on a powder keg. now we're looking for chicken. what he's actually sitting on is this all the tanks, ammunition that can go horribly wrong when an all tank like this takes a directive. tanks are seen as the key to a successful ukrainian character affects the moral

tanks that are destroyed, the greater the appetite for new better ones. at the head of the u. n's nuclear watchdog says he still has hope that a deal to protect ukraine's its operation of power plant can be reached by fail. grossey is on his 2nd visit to the site in recent months. it's now controlled by russian invaders and the international atomic energy agencies. director general has been pushing for security around planned to be increased to prevent at nuclear accident. speaking in the city of dundee pro, he said that this was likely to involve rules, rather than a physical buffer. as joiner domencio a saga masa who's our military and security analyst at kings colleges, london a welcome back to d. w. and what are the risks around that zappa risha that rafael groceries trying

to avoid? well, it seems as being a bigger finding around a very concerned that you can reach account your facts in that area. they can't move on forever. i therefore, it is very important or in some way isolated from, from the fight. but it's very difficult if you do not have a sort of our new trend force that can sort of stop any kind of advances. i think that simply to have those hoping that the other side would enforce them. it's going to be a bit tricky, but it's very good data for file growth, see where to how ignite the race them the dangerous offer for some kind of accident on some kind of attack that go down. and of course, really massive, massive sort of things. if there is a leak or, or, or, and notion, right? so if you turn our attention to the fighting in the east of the country or the head

of the russian mercenary group, the wagner group said that the, the bathroom bath motors badly damaged his forces. what do you think that means that in terms of rushes ability to take or hold the region? well, i mean, what he said was that he had that the wagner had also degraded very much ukrainian armed forces. you know, by, during the process of achieving that, you know, the forces of wagner had been, oh, so probably to sort of bodily hit there. they have suffered from it. and i think that is on a mission that the war has been very difficult under you know, that it hasn't been easy to take the city, but the reports that are coming out over the last few days is that these forces wagner forces are taken at least i think 65 percent of the town of rockport, so i don't know the so you know, other reports. so for example, from the british or defense ministry say that to be areas. some areas are still contested. but it's clear that to the situation from the ukraine in perspective

around baltimore does difficult on do you know, the forces, the wagner forces have been effective in the sense that they have been the ones that have managed to at least advance. it's not a lot of territory that they have taken, but they have managed to capture a solid dotted line, which is the neighboring city on. also, baltimore done that, you know, slowly they take the entire city. they could advance further west words on to the northwest to their areas where there is some kind of my thoughts got beyond. so i think that are, you know, they have played an important role. they, you know, overall the performance of the rational forces are not being, i, you know, i was successful not as expected, brought to, you know, among the lot they have been better than the rest. so it seems right. and and so this, this, the battle for back would be sounds like it is just go to grind all and on until

one side, all the other just gives up or runs out of soldiers a bullet. i think that very much will depend on what ukrainians are planning in terms of the counter offensive. because part of the, of the argument for fighting very hard and what was to sort of degrade the ability of the russian forces to, to continue fighting or play strong resistance in a counter offensive by ukraine. so i think that we shouldn't see it only as, as a back in over the city, but also an effort by ukrainians to to really degrade the rational forces on the same applies for the russians. they are triangles are to be great ukrainian on for say so. i think that, you know, if i, if the ukrainian general staff is thinking that, you know, the job of degrading, at least in that area, the armed forces of russia. you know, a lot of it has been achieved,

they might just withdraw in order to then effectively more effectively carry out a counter fancy. so i think we should see this now in the process of the, the preparations that your grain ukrainians are carrying out in order to carry out of this is sort of expected to counter offensive at which, you know, what happened in the next month. us very clear. thank you so much for that. so don't to your soccer. most of them things college. one of the jury of the world press photo counter says, announced it's for regional witness. many of the images highlight the reality of the war, a new crime they were taken in march during the season. mario paul, after russian forces invaded the country in february of last year, a document the atrocities had fallen before the city fell in may. one of the reduce the photo of a heavily pregnant woman following an air strike on maternity hospital was become one of the defining images of war. well if guinea mallette

is the regional winner of the world depress that, come press photo contest it. talk to us about the story of the the, the story behind that iconic picture. thank you so much. you're so thank you for inviting me to tell the story and what's, what's happening in ukraine. what's happened before? and actually that the story which, which we passed in multiple 4 years ago is still live with us till nowadays. because not these events. you definitely cannot forget, you know, you want to forget. but the photographs and videos we sure are taking in variable is my friend mister, turn off and we will try to forget it,

but it's so difficult. it's so impossible. and but photographs will always remind us what happened will happen there? what's happened there and? and this particular picture we are talking about know at irina. ah, 32 years old. but injured, pregnant warn was carried by the rescue walkers, on the watermelon blanket in front by written, there was code by rescue arcus, they rushed to take her to the emblems ob because she was, you know, in that condition that she might get the 1st aid as possible, she had like a big wound or her body. you cannot see on a picture, but it's was huge. and in but unfortunately,

unfortunately she and her baby did not survive in all day. the doctors tried to do the best we speak to them after and trying to identify what happened to them. she did later, but they reported to us that they didn't. they didn't survive. and they spoke to her husband. and he told me that he was searching for her like and had different hospitals in the mornings looking from different bodies trying to find her. and in the hospital number 2, she found her and, and they buried her with her neighbors on the cemetery in maple during shelling. and nowadays he's trying as well to get what's happened and trying to

build a new life broad, sol. unfortunately, you know this, this image, you know, is, oh, was for this lady. i think it was really important to show because the russian propaganda and russian officials claimed the de bont the hospital always know people on it. that those was no passions. and and when we showed the pictures, there was a pregnant ladies, and we reported that treat people been killed during this attack. and we saw by and heard by our own eyes, how the russian jet throw the multiple bombs on the

city in did the maternity ward university, you know, one time. so this was i think it wasn't both was so important to show our as a society that want to rush age, doing against civilian i was the original when the world press photo contest, talking to the w. a. look at some all sorts making headlines around the world. you claims president vladimir as the landscape has invited china, usually paying to visit to visit mr. that's. he said that i haven't talked since the start of russia's war against ukraine. the invitation comes to the chinese leader met vladimir putin in moscow. i want to president g called a piece mission last week. viva has stripped indonesia of the right to host the under $24.00. woke up, the decision follows the statement from indonesia,

president joe we, dodo, which he declared his objection to the participation in the tournament of israel. fif is also considering for sanctions against the indonesian federation. wanting to condemn the decision by mere mass military government to dissolve in prison. former lead. i'm so so she's political party, the national, the for democracy is one of dozens of opposition parties agenda claims failed to meet an election registration deadline. sushi led b l. b, a landslide victory in 2020 was ousted inability to mark him as pro francis has been diagnosed with a respiratory infection and will remain in hospital for a few days a spokesperson. so the 86 year old was admitted to rome's at jamal hospital. the checks earlier today after complaining of breathing difficulties. now, an open letter assigned by ellen musk is calling for

a pause on the development of more powerful artificial intelligence systems. so i think risks to society and humanity. a masks tesla is currently using ai for itself, driving cars, but the c e o has re security concerns about a i, along with thousands of artificial intelligence experts and industry leaders. the latter calls on developers working on systems more powerful and open eyes. newly launched g p t for them to pause their work for 6 months, make time for safety protocols to prevent potential economic and political disruptions. so what might that look like? is as as a feel car? bonnie from d. w. science we, it would be quite wise to slow down the just deployment of a i, and i think that sort of what they're talking about. so, and it goes counter to their very principal of open ai releasing something and allowing the public to get acquainted with it. to become aware of

a i and to use it and to become i, i get an understanding of what it does and at the same time, not unleashing this in such a way that it becomes an uncontrollable live experiment on the world population. as it is, you know, every time you feed a query into open a, our, into a, a, an artificial intelligence like this, you are actually helping it gets stronger, get more intelligence. and so maybe they're so like, i think that may be their thing. you know, we need to roll this back. they don't want to have more powerful artificial intelligence systems to come in place. and they want to have government bodies. they want to have educational institutions, i'm sure as well to cancel on the right page to get to get up to speed with with the thought which method is, are there were basically so i really do you feel if i'm a la again, allowed to editorial. i just little bit to re between the lines because it's quite sort of vague, this open letter they're asking for outside help. they're saying we've unlinked something here that perhaps we shouldn't have. so is difficult to know what exactly

they want in detail terms, but they are saying we need to slow this down. some was even though the genie is very much out of the bottle, including manual cliches where that one came from was as over car bonnie from dw science now to an exciting breakthrough by scientists lead by the certain university of cambridge in a new and efficient way of harnessing power from photosynthesis, it's a powerful chemical reaction that occurs in plants and research published in the journal nature as it could at one day become an important source of clean energy. at the beginning of photosynthesis, there is an explosion of energy like the source of a river. extracting the energy from this stage has proved impossible so far. pleasant hill scientist tried lasers we've done through the laser and showed it directly into the living cell. finally, to show on the waiver flashes a 1000000000000000 times faster than your full camera take to the laser,

let scientists see what's happening at the start of photosynthesis and useful detail. for the 1st time, the laser showed the working of electronics of the cell back every such as the target. once captured, the electrons were chaperoned out by molecules shown here by the white dots. you can't get better efficiency than teaching it right at the beginning of the trip. because we're taking it right from the beginning of the tracking. we can reach a maximum of dishes with any experiment, a dinner plate sized amount of the bacteria powered a computer for 6 months. this kind of efficiency is helped by how good plants are soaking up sunlight. plants absorb 100 percent of light from the visible spectrum of the sun. compare that to solar panels which absorb nearly a 3rd less the way plants get energy from the sun is through photosynthesis.

in photosynthesis, plants take carbon dioxide from the air along with water and with the help of sunlight and chlorophyll, they turned into sugar and oxygen. these end products mean the chemical reaction forms the basis of most life on earth. plants use some of the energy they capture for functions like growing, moving towards or away from sunlight or for distributing nutrients around their stems, stalks and leaves. but not all of the energy absorbed is used, so scientists say the electrons taken from the plants are spare. now what the next challenge is, is to design ancient by which we can move that electron to, to, to your former to an electro new energy could look like solar panels or a by a reactor like a brewery stud reminder of our top story at this our britain's king charles is in berlin on his 1st overseas visit since becoming public. he and his
