the the, this is the, the news coming to line from berlin. bosco says it's battling a ukrainian sabotaged group that infiltrated the boarder regence. the regional governor claims drones have been shot down in the funding. ukraine denies any involvement and insists that russian parts, as opposed to the kremlin, are behind the violence in belgrade. also coming up a possible breakthrough in the decades long conflict over in the corner car box. we looked at what's prompting armenia to now consider the contested region as part of the past about job plus

a ground breaking vaccine technique use to curve covered 19 could also be a game changer in the fight against cancer. the hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. the governor of russia's belgrade region has said, drones were shot down during fighting near the border with ukraine. russian officials have accused to crate of mounting a sabotage attack on russian territory. kia has denied any connection to the attack consisting the disgruntled russians revolting against the kremlin, are responsible. a russian state media sees this voltage shows the of the mass of financing in the bank. a road bringing gym. officials claim that in to see for the tax houses and administrative buildings were damaged and the towns as far as of cost and private room, they blamed ukrainian armed forces and seed. many residents had leased the area

either in buses or their own vehicles to push up the good weekend. so there were 8 people injured according to the information from the ministry of health and the ministry of defense, that there are no civilian casualties. once again, the situation is tense and remains so the counselor terrorist operation was declared discrete. many restrictions are in place, but the function broke out about 5 kilometers from russia's border with ukraine, while ukraine has been preparing for a counter offensive for months, keith denied any connection to the attack. video was posted by the russian opposition groups. the liberty of russia legion and the russian volunteer corpse indicated they may be responsible logics. i put it in time to put an end to the dictatorship spicy. but thank you to all those who support us. who sign

explanations are not basically boards. that's amazing explosives last year support reminds us every day of our final goal, the red square, and they seem to be brave and don't be afraid because we are coming back home, which is russia will be free shame. so the more but to see if we get sort of to try to the kremlin, said the violence ang, to distract attention from bus moved, which russian forces claimed to have captured of, to more than 9 months of fighting. so early i spoke with the deputies mathias barely who was following the story for us from to you. i asked him who it's clear. yes. who is behind the tax? so 2 groups have claimed dresser responsibility. these are 2 groups of uh, russian volunteers will fighting on the side if you crane there is a big, tough um, lets say not really confusing, but um,

a secrecy around whether these groups or how closely these groups are linked to the ukranian milledge re a request that we file to the ukrainian village we came back with the answer that this was concerning secrets and that i could not answer anything. uh so no clear dismissing there. um, but and for the people here in ukraine it seems pretty clear that there is some connection. i mean, they entered from ukrainian territory and they used quite a bit of heavy equipment. so it's, it would be a bit interesting that if uh, ukraine would not know that uh, some sabotage groups were operating on its territory and running over its borders. however, people in ukraine responding to these reports coming out of belgrade mathias, there is a lot of v. yeah. let me quote one example the, it's a put a yak. the advisor to the ukranian president has said that ukraine has absolutely

nothing to do with this. and that everybody knows that people can buy tags in any russian military shop. that's of course a reference to, to the events, 2014 on crime jo and putting deniability sewage is where these green men, who with capturing the island. and he said that uh, uniforms could be by bought in any, in any military shop. so lots of, uh, paralyzed z, a people calling on uh, international media to call these uh, subaltern pro ukrainian or russian separatist. uh uh, in uh, in reference to how people have quoted the these uh, groups in the done by the region who from a ukrainian perspective uh, were old and were organized with russian proxies. but what, what ways, quotes separate too. so lots of, uh, yeah, shot and friday here on these events. would he stay with us while we take a look at what's happening in box mood? ukrainian officials say their troops are still holding parts of the eastern city.

days after russia claimed to complete control, the head of the buckner group said so his forces will leave buck boot and expects them to be replaced by regular russian troops. whoever controls buck moods is in charge of the waste land. after 9 months of bloody street fighting and endless bombing, the east and ukrainian city has been turned into a mass graveyard. even the self proclaimed victors don't plan on staying after claiming to have taken buckboard on saturday. the head of russia's back in a most scenary group said his men would certainly lease. well, what was the about an audio message? you have any precautions said the russian defense ministry would have to replace his private soldiers by june. first. if there was enough personnel, he said rushes, thousands of generals could take the place. it's the latest, didn't sold, fired off by pretty goshen ad rushes,

military leadership and internal power struggle against the backdrop of a very real war. tens of thousands of soldiers arrest admitted to have died on all sides in the fights of a bach. moved little infrastructure of value appears to remain west in military. analysts say the battle of blackwood has tied up the resources of both armies for months. now that the main fighting there appears to be over. conflict is expected to flare up elsewhere along the front line. we'll go back to our correspondence. he is putting a n t o mathias. what's the latest word on what's happening now in boston? it's. it's very difficult to assess the situation. um uh, many sources the ukrainian side, but also some of the international observes confirmed that fighting is still going on, but it's a quarter. the question is, where exactly it seems to be really on the fringes. and at the moment, it's unclear whether these heights are still on city territory,

or whether they're really already on the edge outside of the city's traditional board is ukraine has been controlling just a tiny bit of baltimore lately. and that's the bit that we have been talking about mostly in the past few days since pre goes and has said that. and uh, some footage suggests that they've really moved on to the edge of the city, whether they are having positions there or whether these were just mobile groups that were able to go there. and then men had been driven back. all that is very difficult to assess at the moment, but we're not talking about, you know, a fight for the controller. but from what we just fighting a talking about fights the by the russians for full control and by the ukrainians for having a foothold for keeping the russian forces engaged in fighting the frontier. thank you very much. shar corresponding mathias spelling a n t. to take

a look at some other stories making headlines today. german police are investigating the suspected poisoning of 2 russian journalist who attended a conference here in berlin. the women were treated at the cities, charlie tay hospital. they were in the german capital for an event organized by franklin critic retail on a call to keep the cause of their symptoms is still unconfirmed. the driver of a truck, the crash near the white house, has been detained. u. s. secret service say that while the truck did not contain anything dangerous, the collision may have been intentional. the vehicles struck security barriers on public park next to the white house grounds on monday. no police in the south american country of deanna say that a deadly fire of the school dormitory may have been started intentionally. the blaze broke out on sunday nights at the government boarding school for girls that serves remote mostly indigenous villages. 19 students were killed in the fire,

and 2 girls remain in critical condition. portuguese officials say police are preparing to search a reservoir. 50 kilometers from this resort were pretty popular. madeline mccann went missing in 2007. the search was apparently requested by german authorities last year, and german national was formerly made a suspect or many is prime minister is offering to recognize neighboring us or by johns sovereignty over the disputed region of nego into a car by the 2 former soviet republics have been locked in conflict over the decade over the area for decades, but a fragile cease fire is now has now paved the way for peace talks. a it's a territory that's been plague, but i'm classes for over to 2 years, punctuated by 2 deadly conflicts. but the long dispute over no core, no care about could be coming to an end which, which has a meaning. you recognize this as

a by john's carrot trade 8 to 6600 square kilometers. lots so long as as a by sean is willing to recognize a territory with integrity of our meaning is 29800 square kilometers as a by john's territory. it includes in going to cover document, 1st of play, number of joke on some or some of us who personnel and make the commitment on condition that our servers, young guarantees, the safety of ethnic armenians living there. the region was established by the soviets, after world war one predominantly populated by ethnic armenians. it was never the less included within the soviet socialist republic of a servers on since the collapse of the soviet union, armenia and a sub a john have both made claims to the territory. some 7000 soldiers were killed in the last war. in 2020. the foreign ministers from both countries met in moscow last week for tri lateral talks with russia star gay life rough leaders from both

armenia and to serve a. john met you council chief charles michelle in brussels. 10 days ago. they are expected to meet russian president vladimir putin on 1st day. he's still seen as a key broker by the posts. so if you have neighbors. earlier i spoke with richard, you're a goes young from the regional study center. that's a foreign policy. think tank in europe on, i assume why armenia is prepared to give up its claim to the car, the car boss now as well. this is a direct result of the devastating 44 day war back in 2020 and then this paul's war environment. we see a sudden flurry of diplomatic engagement inactivity, however, it's no longer russia, but the west that is leading the diplomatic initiative and the army is democratic change of government in 2018 also offers greater have an optimism that we can

reach a negotiated resolution belt armenia is not offering to relinquish its claim to negotiate a car boss without conditions. what exactly are those conditions? well, that's a good question. the jury in many ways, we argue and government has actually failed to adequately articulating its position . what we do know, however, is that the argument government's policy has shifted to addressing or advocating for the rights and security of the art in the ends of newborn are car law. rather than self determination or independence. this may be a face saving way to forge a peace treaty with neighboring osborne with john. but the real concern and pressing challenge is also been drawn to maximum list position. and we still have to this day, azerbaijan, the military incursions and presents within our media proper, having little to do with newborn a car wash. and there's

a significant population of ethnic armenians in now going to a car, a bach. how did they feel about this? a proposed deal, richard as well in many ways the arguments of the car box are pretty much feeling betrayed. in other words, looking much more to the russians than to armenia proper for security and safeguards. this is largely due the due to the presence of 2000 russian peacekeepers who are the only guarantee for this fragile ceasefire, which also makes the outcome especially difficult as russia remains distracted by a display of invasion of view brand. richard, thank you very much. that was richard garrett goes in from the regional study center in europe on spain is bracing for an extended summer of wildfires following a dry winter and heat waves. fires used to be most frequent in the months of july

and august, but large blazes have started earlier this year. last week, firefighter's baffled claims in the extreme, the door, a region which took they used to stabilize. authorities suspect an arsonist started the fire which spread due to dry conditions and strong winds. scientists say, wildfires may become more frequent due to the facts of climate change. when experts in spain is entered, a new era may go wildfire will spanish towns are turning to technology to create new ways to defend residence, as dw found on a visit to re barajas in eastern spain. and it takes just a few seconds to set it up on a smartphone, and the defense system is activated. the so called godaddy and mechanism consisting of 40 jointed sprinkler towers protects residents up a small spanish town up pretty federal house from fires and the surrounding forests . maybe as it creates a wedge barrier,

so we keep this area most rise to make sure then even there is a fire, you will never make it to the house to the houses and basically save lives, right. have enough time to exactly the whole area. the system creates a kind of firewall around the town and its neighboring villages too, and it helps protect the environment at the same time. the water does not come from a tap. the engineers have developed the system. the recycle is waste water from the local search plant. the process wasn't without challenges. and the beginning it was all concerns. are we going to, our house is going to get what we're going to have these oddly thing right outside of our house. and as you can see, that really blend in really well, and you can barely see them, you know, the system was finally launched last year. and now, almost old residents are convinced of its benefits. every year the fires in the region. as film p of i, locals are becoming more dangerous. the sitting things that used to be unimaginable,

that the fives here to start at present. but nowadays we have wide fights as early as february, and to continue on to november. the i t behind the system was developed by university students at a small environmental company from the region. algorithms constantly update the fi risk and calculate when and where sprinklers need to be activated or unique technology that is becoming increasingly popular, even outside of spain. we have some interest in california. we have another interesting and we have another interesting, it's only this i would new for us, but the problem is to add to do this for the same time, the team is already working on new ideas using augmented reality, firefighters can get real time updates on the development of a file, but fed on says the focus should be on finding the costs as far as not just the flames. we don't need more either. we may have more trucks,

more. i plans more take up there. so we need to develop solutions that to recreate the rest of the a native. we have the tools, we have the know that we just must to do a fed on says this includes keeping the environment, the space it needs for healthy development. but such changes take time until then. many more sprinkler systems might be necessary. looking at some other world news. now the chinese owners of the video sharing a tick tock if filed the lawsuit, challenging of ban on its use in the us state of montana like tense says the band violates its 1st amendment rights on china. is the 1st us state to announce a band of the popular up, which it says, which is government data at risk. the jury is present mohammad, who before a, has opened an oil refinery build is africa's largest 2 weeks before leaving office . the multi 1000000000 dollar plant in lagos was built by billionaire industrialist,

a legal don't go to it aims to help the energy rich country, a chief self sufficiency, and become a net exporter of petroleum products. protests have taken to the streets of pakistan administered kashmir to demonstrate against the g 20 tourism meeting taking place in india and administered cashier. billy has been accused of seeking to project an image of normality in the disputed region which has suffered decades of violence. the coverage, 19 pandemic traumatized people and societies. but it also spurred medical advances in a very big way, or perhaps nowhere as much as in the field of vaccines where a groundbreaking new platform based on molecules called messenger r n a save millions of lives. now the technology is coming into its own in other areas like the possible treatment for another killer pancreatic cancer.

the pancreas plays an important role in digestion and metabolism, a tumor, there is bad news. mortality rates and people who develop pancreatic cancer are very high. bank of the kansas so deadly because it starts to metastasized early on, which means to my size move out of the human michael, my, i'm in the primary to minute location and start to migrate to other places in the body. and this is extremely difficult to contain. and means that the chances even off the removal of the primary tumor that you have returns and they become disease pretty soon. i a demo and a cancer vaccine works by making the body aware of cancerous cells which are able to grow and detected by the immune system. a dose of vaccine contains many copies of a short stretch of precise genetic information. the messenger r n. a. it induces the body to start making specific protein slide. one is found

only on the surface of the cancer cell. after being trained by the vaccine to recognize the cancer cells, the alerted immune system, defense cells attack them wherever they are. the big hurdle is that because every patients, cancer is different, their cancer specific proteins are also highly individual. so every m r n a vaccine has to be specifically produced for a particular patient. the, this is and you know, makes, and in being able to, i enter my potentially highly mid atlantic androgens that are quite unique to the patients themselves. giving it a personalized focus is, is also a huge, huge advance in a small scale study recently published in the journal nature, researchers use custom made messenger r n a vaccines as part of the pancreatic cancer treatment plan. in around half the patients, the individualized vaccine candidates, based on technology,

developed by german firm biotech, appeared to prevent a relapse of the disease for at least 18 months. a larger trial is now slated to start this year. of the trial was a combination of 3 things of chemotherapy, a check point inhibitor and the vaccine and comparing it historically to just check point and and chemo therapy. the results were much better, but we need to see a larger trial, more patients, and double blind. so compared to the 2 versus plus vaccine, to know that it, it's, it, it's truly a factor this, the new m r n a vaccine therapy does prove effective in larger advocacy trials. it would be a huge step forward and combating one of the deadliest forms of cancer out there.

and joining me now to talk with us more about this price man who produce that report derek williams. the dirt was all, looks very promising. what obstacles roommate? well, this was, 1st of all, it's important to say that this was really a small phase one trial. so it wasn't looking at advocacy. it wasn't looking at the effectiveness, it was looking to check to see whether or not this kind of a treatment could be safe. and feasible that said, and create a cancer as a real killer with a, with a very, very high chance of re loud. so the fact that after 18 months, half of the 16 people who got who got this vaccine didn't relapse is actually pretty big news. and they're planning much larger advocacy trials now to kick off at the end of the year in your assessment, how, how likely is that this will actually lead to successful treat? well, we've learned a lot about messenger r n a in the last few years and, and, and really the, the serious, very sound. what you're doing is you're, is you're using this molecule to kick,

start your immune system and get it to do the heavy lifting in the healing process . and, and so the theory is very sound. whether or not you're targeting something, a particular protein that's on the outside of a pathogen light source code the to the virus that causes coping 19, or whether you're getting the immune system to recognize particular proteins that are on the outside of the cancer. so you're trying to warn the immune system in advance that this danger exists. and so the theory is sound and, and um, yeah, i think it's worth point seems and some other trials with other types of cancer. melanoma recently to that they've had some success there. so it's not necessarily going to be a knock down slam dunk, but it's, i think definitely going to be one tool in the shed as in, as we move into the future. what about costs? because co but of course was a global problem and everyone is throwing money on it. but you know, pancreatic cancer that something else can. can this treatment do you think they made affordable? well, this is one of the things we,

here's how personalized health care over and over. now this is personalized health care. at a, it's kind of an example of that. what you have to do, what they have to do is they have to go in and actually, you know, make a sequence the tumor itself and then compare that genomics sequence to a healthy genomic sequence from that individual. so you're having to go through jump through quite a few technical hoops and, and, and it's an expensive process. the cost per general makes the placing of come down quite dramatically in the last couple of decades as we get better and better at it . but you still have to manufactured and you have to do, don't forget all of this stuff quite quickly because the chance of relapse is always there on the rise. and so you want to get in and walk it as quickly as you possibly can after the surgery. so yeah, i think that it is going to be able to be affordable at some point if we get the manufacturing and virginia and make sequencing infrastructure in place just quickly and we've been talking about pancreatic cancer. but could these kinds of

therapeutic back scenes be used for other medical conditions as well? certainly, i mean they're, they're, they're looking at an, a whole range of infectious diseases and, and a whole range of, of cancer. as i mentioned this, this file that went, went on with melanoma quite recently. so there's a lot, there are dozens of trials actually going on right now. and this is an area where really researchers are putting a lot of hope for it and the future. very exciting. derrick, thank you very much. derrick williams from dw science, a girl watching dw news from berlin. just reminder of the top story we're following for you. this hour, the governor of russia's belgrade region has said, drones were shot down during finding near the border with ukraine. russian officials claim ukrainians sabotaged group has attacked inside russian territory. kia has insisted that russian dissidence revolting against the kremlin, or a response coming up next,

our environmental thing as in eco africa with reports on the generation of geothermal energy in kenya on terry morrison for me and all of us here at dw, thanks for watching the

of the to ask for a com. it's something really good because this is a and i do have to be used by generations and generations become geothermal energy . those clean, i'm sustainable. the power of the dis, helping can you meet that goal to become climate neutral by $0.20 for the next on d. w. of brandon's image in calabria,
