corruption and political crimes ah, in our series guardians of truth, watch now on youtube dw documentary. ah ah, this is d w. news live from the island. britain's king charles arrives in germany on his 1st state visit as bollock, german president frank valdosta on my welcome became armed camilla, the queen. calm thought the brandenburg gate here in bed. then the 3 day trip is being seen as a post wretched opportunity to rebuild relations. also on the prob,

had a view ends, nuclear watchdog visits ukraine, south reship power station for a 2nd time. rafael draw, see, says he still hopes that that deal can be done to protect the plant, which has been captured by invading russian full system with . okay. her, well. so that's, that's our program. let's see. yeah. how much we can, we can get through this and fill, go a welcome to the program. now, king charles has arrived in berlin on his 1st overseas visits since becoming a british monarch. a berlin was met to be a v. yes. second stock off is

a european the visit. the last week's trip to paris was cancelled a following days of street protests over your french government, sir planned a pension reforms, the king and his wife. for carmella. the queen consort will be in germany for 3 days to night. they've been attending a state banquet at the german president's official residence schloss belden. okay, so clearly that's not going to happen. let's try this one and open an open letter. so oh, so what should we do next? ah, it's the 1st time the landmark has provided a backdrop for receiving a state guest on his 1st official state visit abroad and britain's monarchy. king charles's hoping to improve the you case strained relations with a european union post bracket and show he can win hearts and minds brought just as

his mother did for 7 decades. at his residence last bay 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 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 is safe to say that this is darren. this is the british soft power assets 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, 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. and i think now is the time. we're now marks the time where we open a new chapter just as much time as that. and this chapter is marked his opening of the chapters marked by the king's visit to germany. ok, so 3 days of sightseeing here in germany was on his agenda. well, i mean, today he was a greeted at the brandon mer gates where he obviously was immigrated 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 it . is it? because that's going to be really big day. he starts off meeting bonus or the chancellor or shots. he's going to then hold a speech at in the jam parliament. and the bonus tag is actually meant to hold that in german, really. or it says, yeah, and i think that's really interesting because i mean like father also was fluent and german says, can see quite interesting to see how well how, how well he holds up will be marquis. and for his conjugation as he goes along are popular of the 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 way sticks itself, but i think the have many reasons i'm in a way they love the glass on 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. but they're also historical

ties. why? somebody in queen victoria, she married a german prince at the time. and this sort 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 extent and so 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 as we will see and hear more of you across the next couple of days of this is if another, a corresponded and recording. thank you. 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 keith 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, chief forces of had to rely on soviet made arm. 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 of 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. bullshit, 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 k through, 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 just go solicit 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. on martha's up just soon concluded the logic. yes, many russian parks fit our vehicles just we often dismantle russian tanks were split apart in the undercarriage as suitable to lower and often we find parks suitable for the engine blows up to syndicate with it. more of us, i mean it at the start of the war, the ukrainian 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 tags. 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 another and 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. yeah, but we don't. counselor, many times may propose an omnibus our in our all tanks. we're sitting on a powder keg and i would agree unfortunately, 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 direct hit. tanks are seen as the key to a successful ukrainian counter offense,

the moral tanks that are destroyed, the greater the appetite for new better ones are the head of the u. n's. nuclear watchdog says he still has hope that a deal to protect ukraine's it's operation of power plant can be reached. i fell 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 plant to be increased to prevent ad nuclear accidents. 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 moser, who's a 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 fantasy 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 a new term for that that can sort of stop any kind of advances. i think that simply to have those are hoping that the other side would enforce them is going to be a bit tricky, but it's very good data for file growth. see where to highlight the rest of the dangers of some kind of accident on some kind of attack that could cause really massive, massive sort of things if there is a leak or, or, or an explosion. 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 crew said that the, the batter on back motors badly damaged his forces. what do you think that means that in terms of russia's 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 all so proud to sort of bodily hit there. they have suffered from a done. i think that is on a mission that the war has been very difficult under, you know, doctor, it hasn't been easy to take the city, but there are 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 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 separation from the ukraine in perspective

around baltimore does difficult on do you know, on the forces the wagner forces have been effective in the sense that they have been the ones that have managed to at least are bonds. it's not a lot of territory that they have taken by they have managed to capture a solid r i, which is the neighboring city also bought more done that, you know, slowly they take them time 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 later an important role. you know, overall, the performance of the rational forces are not being i, you know, i successful not as expected, but you know, among the lot they have been better than the rest. so it seems right. and and so this, this, the battle of aback would be, sounds like it is just go to grind on and on until one side or 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 in boston. what was to sort of degrade the ability of the rational forces to, to continue fighting and to play strong resistance in our counter offensive by ukraine. so i think that we shouldn't see it only as, as a, 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 russian mer, triangles. that would be great. ukrainian on for say so, i think that, you know, if, if the ukrainian general staff is thinking that you know that the, 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 your counter fancy. so i think we should see this now in the process of the, the preparations that your grain ukrainians occurring out in order to carry out the sort of sort of expected account offensive at which, you know, what happened in the next month. that's very clear. thank you. so much for that to donate to your 2nd most of king's college, one of the jury of the world press photo contest has announced its fall regional witness. many of the images highlight the reality of the war, a new crime they were taken in march during the seas of mario paul, after russian forces invaded the country. in february of last year. the 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 the war. well if gainey mallette

is the regional winner of the world depress the com 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, be sure, taking in variable was 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 these particular picture we are talking about know at serena. ah, so did 2 years old, but injured pregnant warren was carried by the rescue walkers, on the watermelon blanket in front by there was carried by rescue arcus, they rushed to take her to the emblems. because she was you know, in that condition that she might get the 1st date as possible. she had leg can be warned or her body you can see on a picture, but it's was huge. and then fortunately,

unfortunately she and her baby did not survive in all day. the doctors tried to do the best speak to them after and trying to identify what's happened to them. she did later, but it reported to us that they did. they didn't survive. and i 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 and marable during the shelling. and nowadays, he's trying as well to get what's happened and trying to, to build

a new life broad. so unfortunately, you know, this, this image, you know, is, oh, was for this lady, i think it's was really important to show because the ration propaganda and russian officials claimed the de bont the hospital. all always know people on it. the dose 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 to do. 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 was in both was so important to show our, to the society what russia doing against civilian i was a racial winner of the world, a press photo contest, talking to d. w. a. look at some all stores 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, 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 is also considering for sanctions against the indonesian federation. washington has condemned the decision by mere mass military government to dissolve in prison. the former lead, i'm so she's political party. the national being for democracy is one of dozens of opposition parties. a claims failed to meet an election registration deadline. sushi and let the l. d. a landslide victory in 2020 was ousted and a military modicum says pro francis has been diagnosed with a respiratory infection and will remain in the hospital for a few days a spokesperson. so the 86 year old was admitted to rome's jamaila hospital. the checks earlier today, after complaining of breathing difficulties, i will open the letter assigned by a loan mosque 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 our 1000 artificial intelligence experts and industry leaders that 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. what we, it would be quite wise to slow down the just deployment of a i, and i think that's sort of what they're talking about. so, and it goes counselor 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 there's, like, i think that may be their thing. you know, we 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 get 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 feel if i'm a la again, allowed to editorial. i just little bit to read 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 many will cliches. with that one came from was as over car, a bonnie from dw science i to an exciting breakthrough by scientists led by the was written university of cambridge and in you 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's an explosion of energy like the source of a river. extracting the energy from this stage has proved impossible so far. doesn't till scientist tried lasers. what we've done through the laser and shunned it directly into the living cell phone or to show on the waiver flashes a 1000000000000000 times faster than your phone 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 the electronics of the cell, but 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 when teaching it right at the beginning of the holes with each net right from the beginning of the tree, we can reach a maximum dishes with any experiment, a dinner plate sized amount of the bacteria powered 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 stem, stalks and leaves. but not all of the energy absorbed is used. so scientists say the electrons taken from the plants are spare. no, what the next challenge is, is to design agents which region move electron to, to your, to your former to electro. the new energy could look like solar panels or a by a reactor, like a brewery stud reminder of our top story at this hour. britton's king charles is in berlin on his 1st overseas visit since becoming public. he and his
