experience outstanding shopping and dining offers and certainly our services be our guest at frankfurt and board cd managed by front bought the there's a dw news line from funding the w mates, ukrainian troops, training and wolf preparing to take back cities on the russian occupations as possibly coming ukrainian counter offense, also on the program. how do we solve a problem like plastic negotiate this for as well. try to reach a deal to ends,

plastic solutions, and to cut production the answer. okay, welcome to the program. you kinds of military says it shut down multiple sites, you missed 1000 drones. and the latest round of russian strikes, targeting the sheet of achieve route key regions overnight. but the residents of the training capital took a shelter and subway stations after air, right. a lot sounded across the country. that's where they solicited case mass as no calls were made to emergency services. face su, training, and forces prepared along the way through the counter offensive to retake cities in the east from russian occupies to do this trip. so will most certainly have to fight the street by street house by house, of and wolf poses some of the greatest risks to soldiers as monks and reports.

this is one of the most dangerous moments in urban warfare. one wrong move here could be your last one goes inside and then the next the soldiers are fresh from the front line where they face chilling and trenches instead of resting. they prepare for what maybe next week we'll have to go into doing. yes. can no, hans will have to storm every building and there will be collaborators saboteurs, regular troops, private military groups will have to drive them out of houses, not from feels. the thing is money. that's why they're in this abandoned hotel. ukrainian troops may only have one chance to take back their towns from the russians. they can't afford to stay

in private and is the hold press very important for us to take the right approach. maybe if we don't do and we break right to them and then i'm sorry, we don't have enough people to take risk of the day except that they're ready to leave hundreds behind near one house. no, we don't. we are not ready to leave a single one. know when you're at the, when the, when you're started, the soldiers spend 4 to 5 hours training every day, tactics, shooting, and 1st aid. they know their lives may depend on it. we tightened the turn again as tightly as possible so that not only a finger, not even a feather can fit in between. of course you will scream all kinds of things that it hurts. let me go, but you absolutely can't loosen it. most of them will have experienced this already already himself was permanent, be taken out of the fight when he was injured in battle last year. his best friend died next to him to teach him from his experience. he's trying to help these men

survive. this is what they want to avoid. the training officials don't say how many soldiers die told the number of military graves here at this hot give cemetery has doubled for the last 3 months. some of the men and women buried here for as young as 20 now this cemetery is already the final resting place for hundreds of ukrainian soldiers from the area. and people here believe that fighting at the front will intensify. so now no matter how that will turn out for ukraine, this will mean more funerals and more graves for soldiers here in this ground. that means more families who will turn to freeze to victor promoting chuck knew

many of those he's buried here. the most of the difference, i meant i cannot comfort anyone to the other side because the loss remains with us . well, yeah, well here there is a great, and there is a coughing years luca, because there is separation until the end of our days. when there's nothing to this doing it, but we should know who believes what they did and are doing now. pulling in. this is full of deep meanings. let me store to move on because they repeats the savior's feet, or do they prevent more deluge through their own deaf may of another family says good bye. on 3 or $600.00, which died more than 2 months ago in an eastern forest. today he's finally

buried with love and with military honors. he won't be the last for ukraine and ukrainians. there doesn't seem to be an alternative. and then put the put them we need victory. where to put the we don't need peace, even if there is no victory, then there will be no reason why he moved. there will be slavery. defenders fear that more than the death itself. and so they prepare for more sacrifice, the whole show off, cuz that is deputy had of the office a few crazy and presence of a lot of it as a landscape. welcome to dw, thank you so much for joining us. can we start with the expected ukrainian counter offensive? how will you define success?

would it be enough to just weekend russian forces? are you aiming to recapture then? that's when the east or even advanced a crime here in the south as well. not in any case just a week, and i think we can deliver a significant amount of sources. we the beginning of the open address in dream dot com. 30 nice a lot of the 3. 0547 days. now we have them was 500 is a wonderful new we are. we condemned on and managed to understand, but 3 kept too significant part of the territory they kept turned off the residence . so suddenly this success will mean liberation as much as possible. the brittany instead of doing as many features as possible, because the ultimate goal is to have the lead to the end of the 3 east deliberation of all the territory over you. you've lost many if you'll pass man on the front lines, many of the soldiers you'll be be lying on full, the counter offensive. a new recruits with relatively little battlefield experience . one that limits your chances of success. that's not so this is the russian

narrative. they want to to, to exploit and which in, into the media uh, the salters which will be taking part of the account that offensive i, well, i'm saying that now this minute address begins with you haven't exciting and we're not going to need the best equipped and best knowledge and experience ukrainian. so just to me mind we're having these a war against us. i most just, i just wanted to the driver since 2014 but not on the be great. yeah. at 1st i try any of them when my president is visiting the capital, so you know, think that was a little rob. the last small, one of the bar subdivision is visiting the military base and look in the women they just sent to your brain. but that's to play a military. why haven't decided isn't this military base with the best instructors from the, from the countries from the office then use us hold that the guns are offensive. we'll do that in success. one of the trips that's our presence that has been made

was to yes, today is that you are paying political community summit in mo, data. and there were lots of long woods that about ukraine's eventual let you and nato membership. but little in the way of concrete. next steps is not good enough. is that sometimes you know, you can not the, do you the guns a steps or 3 minutes and then he said yeah, on the concrete steps to the mean. yes. yes. when he starts full days and you need to build an assignment, this approach and is find time to discuss the formulation of the building assignments about to great. not only about the side of the process of assessing the range and age of because we do understand that the finalization of the process will be on the out the when the works. but it's hard sciences start i time to respond to the big for membership, which my president placed on the 13th of september. and secondly, to provide you the security guarantee as well. it has an annual membership because

when you do so, going to get to it is not the same as you remember as informed or not as well as member state. and all of them are saying very practical things on the minds of the 7, the recommendation. very good pro has to be assessed in october and you know, just to have the decision to start accessing negotiations. the seo right. i was about a piece talk say a chinese at envoy who has towards the european capitals as well as promoting a piece. talk a set today. but by using is considering another piece mission in ukraine. did you hear anything from him last month? that makes you feel that another trip would be was, is all your time slow to discuss about the units. so the guy said, why mind president, he's got to talking to c t, uh, several ways. and to use the brand new piece formula,

which is should be your brain. yeah. not a single piece would be able to manage it based on that bad news proposal over the course of the brand new piece for them in the us. and the only breakdown because this is where some fortune to go into on the premium side, right? we will listen to the proposal, bringing from china when china is the most important piece. you know, stuff about these. he was talking about security are sort of the oldest that desperately i just wonder why what these formula ones. you must spoken about nuclear safety and security. that's going sides with another piece below 4 blocks. these plans for them allow for our presence of ask you so where i would listen to genetic proposals, but the ultimate, not the core of this plan will be innocent. the radio. thank you for joining us. spending as the time a whole. i shop truck a deputy head of the office if you kind of present some of them here that i'm seeing. thank. thank you. as a power sweat and it goes ages amazing to have her as a global tracy to end plastic pollution that i missed,

which even legally binding deal by the end of next year, competitors are pushing for the tree to you to not deal with the pollution. but also to cut the scale of plastic production toxic and everywhere. plastics are in almost everything humans produce. and they are now being found as mike cr plastics, in the ocean, inside fish and even in human breast milk. and the problem is growing plastic production is increasing. as is plastic waste, it's set to triple by 26. the plastic packaging will rise most significantly with consumer products and closing, also contributing to plastic waste among other sources. a representative for more than a 175 nations have been meeting this week for the 2nd to 5 series of talks with the aim of creating an international treaty on plus stick. only

elimination reduction a full life cycle approach, transparency and then just transition. only those can bring success because the truth is that we cannot recycle our way out of this mess. negotiate has hope to have a treaty in place by next year, but talks up and slow going, major oil producing nations like saudi arabia and the united states have drug to the hills on technical issues like voting rules and countries disagree on how to limit plastic considerations of bonds on single use, plastic pollute to pay schemes or tax or new plastic production. a high i'm vision, coalition of countries latch by norway and run to one to an end to plastic pollution by 2040 we of course do not want to get to read the speech because they will be plastics in the future in many forms. but it's, it's the types of test picked up labs themselves,

most to pollution item because they in contain talk sick. uh, a good substances or because they're single use or because they are, they are developed in such a way that is very hard and even impossible to recycle the environmental groups according for limits to the influence held by fossil fuels, love us and then it goes to ations who's they say, have a vested interest in undermining the deal. they say only targets to reduce overall production can help save the world from choking on plastic waste. as a result from the results board, who joins me now. welcome back to the pseudo the ways. so now the nice thing about plastic pollution, i'm why is this amazing and power different relevant? well, i mean, this is actually the 1st treaty of this kind to be put in place so that there is quite a lot of excitement that it's focused on plastic, which is such a huge problem. i mean, there are literally mountains of plus to, sorry, my story,

plastic on the tool was fine as well. mountains, but in everest, as also the plastic and the oceans, we even have plastic in our bodies. and so this is a problem that needs to be dealt with. much of the plastic is dumped or buttons at the moment. and while recycling is a wasting of this, go to to try and solve everything less than 10 percent of the plastic is actually recycle. so this is the 2nd of 5 talks that's going to be done over the next year to try to put a treaty in place to end plastic pollution. and one of the complaints though is that even though some activists have taken part in tools, not many of those who've been directly affected, half being hot. that's very well actually a lot one, even able to get into the trucks themselves that were limits on the amount of people that could take part. and so people who are for communities affected by

a plastic waste all by. a eating of plastic, also waste because who are obviously responsible for picking up a lot of plastic waste were not allowed in on to have that wasted had an on the other side, you know, lobbying from companies has been allowed into the talks and campaign to say that they are actually undermining the deal. so i mean was not deliberate that the people who are directly affected were excluded to be. and can, can, can we just say that that was a cynical move to keep them out of the u. n. e p which is running the talks says that was not deliberate, it's purely just a practical thing. there are like 1500 places available and 40 percent apparently were given over to um to and jose and, and people in that realm. so they would say that it wasn't done on purpose, but this is what company has or the issue the components are having as a result. so how farther away from having a global treaty signed?

well, i mean the, the treaty is supposed to be finished by next year, and that was always a vicious goal, considering that you've got almost $200.00 countries taking part. and there are always problems and tensions, particularly in this case, between countries in the go global north, who are a cost like a lot of best plastic waste and countries in the global south that it's being moved to. but they're also big issues that you've got countries like saudi arabia and the united states, which are big oil purchases. and they don't want to see such stringent rules on plastic. okay, sorry for that. it's never good news when, when you it's always good news to say where you're never bring good news and our environment that reports that the results will. thank you so much. i a will tackling the climate crisis is a massive challenge and it gets even trickier when you are in the government with very different partners or with very different ideas. so that's exactly what's

happening here in germany at the moment. once upon a time about 18 months ago, to be exact, the 3 governing pauses appear to be on the same page, not enable the w's. emily godaddy explains it was the stuff fairytales as a 3 way of social democrats, liberals and greens. they called themselves progress coalition and they had big plans. they promised to give germany a digital make of the legalized. now you want to make immigration easier. i've got serious about frontier climate change. but right now it's same main thing that doing this pricing and tell them it's something assuming lima same as how to heat your heart. in the middle of it is all about how the vice chancellor economy minister degree. he is on a mission to make germany climate neutral. and the major step is how to keep times

in the winter. how big wants to phase out the installation of oil and gas heating and gemini, and replace them with climate from the heat pumps. his plan is to transform germany's heating system to be met 0 emission targets. many experts say it's essential to act fast. so if you haven't seen the exam, it's been decided that emissions from buildings should be significantly reduced by 2030. and at the same time, we want to become a neutral by 2045. if we want to reach that goal, we have to get going immediately. he just based on fossil fuels should no longer be installed. that has to be careful 15 years, but not sure that it was done. as a result, we now have to speed things up. we have to do more, most the trouble is the liberals don't like the idea and they've decided to block it in people. they say it's all happening too fast. and it's important to remain open to technologies that might enable all teaching systems to operate in

a climate neutral way. based on the lines, the ideological goal from the coalition between the greens and the liberals. the green party is kind of for the climate change party in germany for us. so the liberal party tries to provide that to as a party, which is open for economic growth and technology and innovation on it means that on climate the 2 parties seemed predestined to fight the greens, wanting more regulation of the liberals wanting less. there is a rather strict position on the credit side saying, well, we don't have any time. we have to transform our heating system very soon. and we have to be very strict in that and to to go to renewable energy to supply. but now it's got some personal, the greens are claiming a breach of trust. and the liberals accusing the greens of force and climate

policies, no matter what. so it might come down to this man. chancellor of salts has kept out of his fights so far, but he might have to jump in if he's not to break his clubs to get so many moving foster. he's even come up with a slogan for it. deutschland temple for germany, speed and country needs most speed, jim and a speed of his practice give on. and they have been reading on something off the russian by that ukraine gas supplies to europe, germany, both 3 new liquefied natural gas terminals at lightning speed. that's on climate, the torch lamp tempo is looking much more like a darts on deadlock and this sort of the so called trim and speed. it's not at all visible in achieving or what climate goals it's only visible and extend an infrastructure for fossil fuels above all liquid gas terminal gonzalez. i'm how big wants to change the types of plans to transform heating systems. it would speed up

climb attacks, and even among voters opinions, i'll split of the mazda, as far as the fact that the climate is changing, has to be known for very, very long time. i already learned in school that is what happened at some point and nothing was done for a very long time. now they are trying to do everything at once and i don't think that lucky is have got to have the rest. so many other important issues such as change in schools, education, all of which are pushed into the background. i think that is a shame. i think it's really important that sustainable heating systems as tablets shot of especially because the heating is something you change every day. when you install the heating system, it lists 10 to ideally 20 years. so what's the outlook? there's an input attention in this government or in this coalition. and that's something which will break up again and again in the next time. but i don't think

that this will lead to the end of which it's a far cry from the fairy tale thought to this colorless and a happy ending looks very far away. so let's see what the general public thinks about all this political correspondence. simon young has been looking at the numbers from the latest in for test at the map survey. welcome, simon. so is the public frustrated by this sense of government deadlock or i think very, very much off sale. if we look at the poll a whopping 83 percent of those, ah, say the government does not get to grips with the big questions like climate adaptation is quickly enough. and i think there's a sense that change comes over really slowly if the tool and if you think about it that's i think if they did really and the concept of this current coalition government, because you've got one party that the free democrats say they want to emphasize

freedom, individual, freedom and freedom for businesses and so on. and teen parties, the size of the democrats and greens, who i think put a bit more of faith in the power of the state to nudge people, in some cases, push people in a certain direction. and what's also relevant is another number. and this survey at 84 percent of people, so they want more leadership from olaf show. so i think the child sla, ought to be exercising is all towards the more obviously, particularly when it comes to dealing with the arguments between the of the, of the, of the parties. in this 3 way coalition we had in the reports about the battle over times to make the heating system smell climate friendly. is that something the public water is about? so yeah, i think this is an issue that's really got the public's attention at the moment. so 2 sides of germans say that the potential cost of installing climate friendly heating systems such as heat pumps and so on could put to greatest

strain on their resources. and people are very uncertain about their posts and personal finance is right now. so that's something else that survey shows. uh, and they also feel that the government's not giving them all the information they need. so this change in aging is something that the green climates and economy menace to a robot ha, back has been pushing forward. he wants a bill through parliament before the summer recess, but as we've heard the free democrats, it's a little hold on a minute. we've got some questions, isn't, is all going to be bureaucratic? the size of the democrats so worried that these big changes could leave poor people behind. so, you've got to, you know, a squabbling scribbling policies in the coalition and be, while some people are rushing out to install the old oil and gas. a heating systems in the home before any deadline might prevent them from doing it. so, and not a good situation over. so where does all this leave for governments approval right

to as well the 3 parties in the governing coalition, a role doing pretty badly, and that down the fleet, fully 79 percent of the exhaust se, then not satisfied. the somewhat dissatisfied or, or totally dissatisfied with the performance of olaf sholtes and his team. i really have faith saying that doing ok. and i think that is a response to these internal battles. so i'm sorry, the main problem is the for the democrat finance minister kristin. link now he's been sort of holding the purse strings tight and blocking what to the rest of the government wants to do on, on the climate and energy, but also on defense on childcare and so on. other say, you know, the government must stick to what it originally say beyond vicious think long term . i'd be a new type of government. and a briefly to simon. does this mean the government's in danger of people turning to a well position process? or?

i don't think the government's in danger of collapsing, but some commentary to say is only a matter of time before it does that. but the 3 government parties are doing badly . they will go below 20 percent support of the greens, up to 15 percent, the lowest. they've had since they came into government the cd. you see a few conservatives all the most popular party by far as they've been for some time . what really stands out in this, paul? i think the rise of the a f. the alternative for germany fall right. policy that that started cutting time high end. this poll. that set you up today, both at the top of the, by the
