the the, this is dw news live from berlin tonight going for the green, ukraine's black sea green export deal is being extended. russia, promising safe passage for ukrainian vessels. exporting food products to a hungry world also can make up to die. dozens of european leaders say yes to a plan to make mosse scale pay for it's more against you crate. we'll take

a look at how that could possibly work. and thousands of people in italy evacuated as massive flood to the north of the country, leaving at least 8 people dead. hundreds in the library golf is good to have you with this, we begin tonight with russia, ukraine, and food. a deal that allows green to leave ukrainian ports has been extended for another 2 months for his president. richard pay over here to one today, announcing the extension to the deal which was set to expire tomorrow. thursday. the agreement between russia and ukraine gives a safe passage the cargo ships, leaving the port of odessa on the black sea. before the deal was broken by turkey and the un last summer, russian warships had prevented grade from leaving ukraine drastically pushing up

global food prices to alright, let's get more now from our correspond to dorian jones. he's standing by and use them both for his door and it's good to see you. i mean, this happened with less than 24 hours before the agreement was set to expire. did the turkish president, did he talk about why it had come down to the wire yet again? to hello, really? i'm present project type odd one, made the announcement, drawing a national bowl costs to the country. he said that he finds the efforts of the ukrainian, or russian governments along with united nations that they have successfully achieved another 60 day expansion to these green deal has to be said that this was a little very traumatic that was lost out of stuff. in fact, earlier today, the last ship under the previous agreement had set sail counting 30000 tons symbolically going to the suit. don, this is what the oldest grand deal is about helping the countries out in the world

of the most in need. but there isn't a surprise that russia was going to drive this to the very why they see this really as an opportunity to exploit the international uh, getting concessions from the time to community. but people not, no one, they really expect advice or not to sign up for a further extension because it really is the only piece of leverage russia has on the international community. but russia has its own demands. it's always insisted that this deal has them for fulfilled all of its tons, part of the remote walls that russia would be able to ex, both eat some grain on all to crucially it's fertilizer, most gall kuza to, under the deal at the moment. those exports on occurring because of the international sanctions that prevent international payments to russia to russia is excluded from the switch system. but the united nation say that's a load of rubbish in the american and parts of the united nations last week said bushes, ex bolting mole grain and fertilize of them even before the complex vaulted. now that work was, it's gonna continue and we are expecting

a similar last minute to negotiation 60 days from now when the deal expires in a drain. and there is a turkish domestic element to this story isn't there? i mean, this announcement comes just days after the 1st round of turkish presidential elections. we've got run off elections in 2 weeks time. it's important for everyone to be seen as an international mediator. a successful mediator is a now that's why the timing was perfect for odd once. in fact, to coincide with his 1st national address. as a presidential run up, campaign kick, sol, unable just on the line part of a key part, a visa campaign message that he is a will lead to the rest of the world has to listen to him. and no doubt the greenville was a major diplomatic, successful one, and the enter key. and the fact that is now being renewed coincides topics to vote on it will be use will be use most of it going forward and it has to be set. the

other one is a unique position. he's in good terms with ukraine exporting weapons to them as well as rush of law enforcement, many of the western sanctions. so i think both of the leaders was happy to play alone with helping good one in his campaign either use the results of the latest tonight from his danville during as always, thank you for the course funding economy and key. if he explained earlier, why green exports are an economic lifeline for ukraine, and he told us how the war is impacting global green ship price versus i guess this is chris with ramsey calling, but i think it's almost as crucial to consume its around the world to really, so prices sky broke it last year as those ukraine expos ground to a halt. you had seen last year. a farm is sitting on mountains of grain. they just couldn't get out of the country. no cash coming in, unable to buy foot laza to. so i'm prepared in new crow, this is crow. then you had shoes, choose the blackboard as people trying desperately to get it out by truck or by the

river boat. but none of those were really big enough. we'll have to kind of shape or anything that like the kind of capacity needed. now, yes, this is working, but it's nowhere near business. as usual, the russians keep using all the numbers they have to try and delay these shipments is still much more complicated and expensive. than it was before the war. and then when you're looking at your brain as a whole, we have to remember that this deal is just about food. what was your grains, other exports, metals, all the other kind of crucial export products are still trapped inside you. transport is for having to be shipped. that's a huge cost by land, by truck. so this is no kind of normality here. this is just the kind of exception that i think russia was forced to because of pressure from customer see finding freight in asia, africa who have better relations with the database because really they're reporting from a key with a great deals extension is a relief to many people, the parts of the world suffering from severe food shortage. it's the agreement has already, you've seen more than 2000000 tons of green exported to nations in need such as somalia, ethiopia and kenya were for years of drought have left millions of people on the

brink of famine the w's, felix, marine, your reports tonight from kenya, this is always better. i think i have left for myself 6 children and i elderly husband she has to make impossible calculations and discuss the compromises to try to make it last a lot of problems. we sometimes decide to sleep without food. i don't so that the little we have, but it takes us through the days before more food aid comes. so this year we are rationing for the sake of these young children. today i move veronica, sometimes mix. i leave the money selling these girls she makes. but it's a constant struggle and she's the ones responsible for keeping her family from these laptop. food aid is a lifeline. but she doesn't know when more my time i oh no

11 of my relatives died of starvation. sometimes people become sick here and they have nothing to eat to flood when you take them to the hospital. they say she is weak and hungry and doesn't have enough blood in her body. that will not my mortgage. this is as far as aid has come to a few crucial miles away from their own account. these families got lessons they'd be able to each 2 nights and keep some for the coming days. maybe has 10 children to feed may, but the last to donation here was about 7 years ago and i am doing what no flights up with the organization folded up and we never benefit it again on number 4. and that's when the kids don't have food. they survive on wild fruit. so no, no, that's all there is here because he has. yeah. as yeah, i can answer for i'm biased with the drugs have using the horn of africa in many

households on such end of when they will get their next meal. the families here are happy that therefore the nation has given them a list of life. it is this and such empty that makes planning aid more difficult. so any be for option eh, means that the, the people who are doing who monday to and support, we'd have to dig deeper into accessing the same supply and commodities for the households and the bundle community. so they, they, they went for council. so they will have a split at all in terms of the budget in percussion, and definitely been the commodities that a lot know eventually have under the boss. once we go down for veronica and honey buzz each day without a bring fee of a visual and a little closer formation. returning to how familiar with the supplies that fear has been pushed, i need to find that are we making food to pay for the war in

ukraine? that is what leaders and more than 40 countries want to see happen. leaders meeting in iceland today agreed to several points including the establishment of a register of damages. also on the agenda is a, pushed by the prime ministers of the u. k. and the netherlands to build an international coalition to boost ukraine's air combat capabilities. day 2 of the council of europe summit in iceland got off to a stormy start, bought with a clear signal. more than 40 countries approved a system to document the destruction and ukraine caused by russia. germany says it will help finance this register of damage. a dentist most good to say it's the size of the 1st step is the aim of a damage register is to ensure and enforce the account. the ability to russia must pay for the damage to his cause. i'm going to touch the baton ukraine's prime

minister, dennis gimme a call, said the register was a milestone on the path towards injustice and reparations turkey hungry and serbia said they will not participate in the damage register. but iphones prime minister, katrin yackel daughter was never the less pleased by the strong consensus. it's not a surprise that not everybody signs that i am very happy that the overwhelming majority is signing with them. on the sidelines of the meeting, there were talks on providing fighter jets for ukraine. the u. k and the netherlands are trying to form an international coalition. democracies like ours must build resilience so that we can out cooperates and outcompete those who drive instability. for his part, the german chancellor reiterated that his government currently has no plans to deliver combat aircraft to keys. or let's take a look now, is some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. ukraine's

foreign ministry has told a top chinese on void. that key will not seed any land to russian in peace proposals. demitra calais, but also ruled out freezing the conflict during the 1st visit by a senior chinese on board to ukraine. beijing maintains that is a neutral mediator. it says it has a piece plan to end this more to the former friendship, president nicholas as our kazi has lost his appeal against the 3 year prison sentence for corruption, according paris to day rude. that 2 of the years be suspended, and that he should wear and electronic bracelet for the remaining year. sentence also bands as our cosy from public office for the next 3 years. ecuador is the president dmo law, so has dissolved, the opposition, led to congress, starting a great political crisis on the left is national assembly had been holding impeachment, proceedings against them for alleged embezzlement. that elections must be held

within 6 months. president law so is currently ruling by decrease sorted by law platform that turkey has it. so i'm going to germany's ambassador following the detention of 2 turkish journalists here in germany, the turkish foreign ministry, calling it an act of harassment and intimidation. german officials say that the 2 men who worked for a pro government turkish newspaper were not arrested, but briefly detained while their apartments were searched. police say that the operation was carried out as part of a preliminary investigation or what's behind this. let's go now to our political correspondence. so i mean, young simon, who are these 2 journalists and what do the german police or do they think they did? yeah, so in the early hours of wednesday morning, police in the state of harrison in central germany. and i searched the homes of 2 men, journalists working at the frank foot bureau of the turkish newspaper softball. and

they seized electronic care storage, media, and some other evidence. and subsequently these men were afraid to go. now, this is causing that investigation by state prosecutors into what was described as an allegation of compromising dissemination of personal data. so what's behind that? well, in the past. so by has published personal details in particular about a turkish journalist who has been living in germany a, a, a man. he's publish many videos about what he alleges, corruption by president ad one. and those around him. i added to just a few months ago, they published a photo of the building where that to a journalist was living on their front page, ran a story, accusing him of, of being a provocative air and a terrorist. so there have been concerns for that. journalists,

a safety and i think it's in relation to that, that we're seeing this investigation, this police action and all of this, the reason that the turkey, some of the german ambassador, i mean, that's a strong reaction, isn't it? yes, absolutely. the surface foreign minister ministry is said the german police activity is, is unacceptable. they say it's harris summative journalists. and they say it's based on the complaint by one person, the person that they identify as being part of the what they call the terrorist google and organization, which they said was behind the 2016 at coo attempt. so they've done all sorts of things they've taking off the gym and ambassador they, they talking about double standards because so they say germany preaches to the world about freedom of speech, but they are practice what they preach at. and they say that this was a deliberate act time to coincide with the run of votes in the presidential

election in turkey, i think is we're saying that the sub a newspaper is close to the tech is state and the president at the one in particular. so it's perhaps not surprising that we've seen a strong reaction about what's been going on in germany database. so i'm and young with at least tonight here in berlin. so, i mean, there's always think events are taking place around the world to mark this international data against homophobia, by phobia. and trans phobia organizers for the rights of l. g, b, g, g, people. they say those rights are increasingly at risk in some places, or many countries have passed legislation recognizing transgender or same sex parental rights. others are rolling back projections, protests of taking place across the us, for example, where campaigners say hundreds of new laws or an attack on l. g, b, t, q, people, or in russia,

a clamp down on the community has reportedly intensified since the war in ukraine began. a new law has been passed banning what authorities label gay propaganda. the russian active is peter post. chris in ski says it says if l g b t q people are no longer allowed to exist. fearing for his life, he told the w news that he decided to flee to germany before it was too late. the only thing i have mixed feelings on this is what i thought out of original humble apple i took last filter was kasinsky, has funded and wrapped into any of the stuff over in 3 different countries. the eligibility que activist was forced to leave his homeland in order to avoid political persecution. the village reset me in my entire life is now inside here one suitcase and one bag. i didn't want to leave but events prove that i made the right decision of the mind. there have been developments relating to the new law on

so called l. g b t q propaganda feel that it was kasinsky has been championing eligible to q rights and russia since 2007. when poor to switch to possible, he used to go out and demonstrate. he last attempt to prove more turnarounds towards the sexual minorities in russia was his private museum, exhibited art related to the russian eligibility q history. but to, to had to close it down of, to see even more in class with the human rights organization supported was kasinsky . and he's escaped to germany. which and i think the invasion began on february, the 2490 to go to for it became clear to me that the 1st attract them was a negative a lot. in the 1st few months of the, i was even afraid to leave my apartment going to the door was, can you see and skis worried about the safety of queer people in russia? he says that manually from fear, particularly those in small towns and who areas. then you log in to what's being called, quote, eligible to q propaganda, what's passed by the russian problem. and plus here,

it basically aims to bend any depictions of homosexuality that might be seen as positive. is such a lovely man since the beginning of the walls with the most l g b flat to organizations that have either been shut down by the o thought of jesus, or they will have to be evacuated from russia. they're only a few initiatives. let that help b l g b t to community all locations. and it's not clear how long they will continue to exist, because the state is targeting active. it's a big deal for our kids can do anything they want us when nobody is there to resist the stuff to send you to send you a most. most of that itself the, the filter of us kasinsky is going to spend the next few months in the shelter for a few cheese. he says, the most important thing is that he's safe. no, he aims to support career people in russia from germany. if that is possible, i seen you as much as a check. it's impossible to live in russia. if you understand what is going on the the quote. and if you a, l, g b t to it's right,

it's twice as dreadful because you get told by everyone that us so human and unworthy of existence. you know, the situation in russia, the united nation says that more than $3000000000.00 and $8.00 is needed to help suit in, but it's refugee crisis within a month of fighting has displaced within a 1000000 people. nearly 200000 have now flooded the country with many traveling to neighboring chad. but chad has its own struggles. a 3rd of its population lives in poverty. and there are fears that the fighting and sudan could create further problems in chad and the risk of violence. and chaos is growing, dw, show little wall reports tonight from the capital phone germane a market and then domina. another customer decides the price is too high and walks the way i used to buy my crates of cucumbers for 2 and

a half 1000 francs. today they cost $15000.00, so i have to put up the price and lose customers. it's difficult for me. this is how i feed my children. everyone is feeling the pressure is uh, good natured to i used to sell several dresses a day. but now i go 2 or 3 days without anyone buying anything, even the fabrics, it become too expensive. everything has become expensive. most of the green charges come from ukraine. the war there created the food emergency here last summer that came on top of a fuel shortage. and now predictions with the economy a being driven down by the keels next door. instead on. this was actually supposed to be a good year, which had the international monetary fund predictive that with a country producing more oil and selling of higher oil prices last year, that is economy would expand. but with the warranted on happening so close by,

that growth would now be effected. it's not just the economy k of the chart years could spill across the border from 300 as to the knees. assorted yes. that will see the fighting in doubtful. that's across the board. they have been dissolved and backed by discharging even if they're charging uh government as a state is trying to keep a very neutral position in the fighting. so in the conflict cutting might be in a way abroad in that the country are in that conflict, mainly from the way the different ethnic groups or communities might engage in that conflict in the coming days. people here are in a similar situation as to don, used to be their rule by a military government, which is broken, promises to hold elections, it puts down demonstrations for democracy with deputy violence. position leader of looks too much. i mean, he's clear paolo's which to don rep wasn't set up for his customer because of the

problem is that there's a click holding onto a pallet. it's the same problem we have here in chat. is this something how many hundreds of suited needs were killed because they wanted a transition to civilian government? this had bluff and here they tell us that the military must stay empowered to guarantee the security of the region. but they cannot 17, i mean what subject? cuz instead of going on to the chat is see the keels and file sharing approx dawn next door concerned is rising. but even if they avoid that states, that war will only make their lives even harder with the world needs to do more to help. sudan, those are the words of the sudanese british entrepreneur lo uber. he, he is this week's guest on conflicts. so we cannot give up for them. we'll have to deal with it quickly before the fire splits. proof is all these will continue to

hold. what i mean as it is very encouraging to see united states is involved. so you gotta be as involved, both of them phantom shows up the ethnic i knew and yeah, this involved and yeah, this involved, the cost is enrolled and we need to ensure that we would this find out, we need to buy and any x, most of all through the division and what they ask and we need to to be able to look either we have or where to go often. you and you can watch that entire interview. it's coming up next on conflict. so at least 8 people in northern italy of died. many others are missing after heavy rain caused major flooding v. amelia romani, a region has been hit particularly hard. thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes and hundreds of firefighters have been deployed to help with rescue efforts. authorities, or warning. there may be even worse to come,

breaches of river banks. as happened yesterday, we had to raise all coal to citizens to stay away from rivers. do not enter base model on the ground rooms for any reason. and for those who live near the river, to not go down to the ground floor. italy's government said it was following developments and was ready to help with release meshes. but with more rain full cast or socrates one, the situation may get worse before it did speak to the wreck of the titanic, the luxury liner that was supposed to be unsinkable, is being seen in a brand new light, thousands of meters under the see. the 1st full size 3, the scan of the vessel has just been reveal the images. take a look at these show new details and they could provide more insight into how the boat sinks on its maiden voyage back in 1912 with the rec, disintegrating,
