the, the, this is dw dues live in from berlin tonight. how do we solve the problem of plastics? negotiators from around the world are trying to hammer out a deal on how we can and plastic pollution. also coming up tonight, the w news means ukranian troops training and urban warfare. they're preparing to

take back cities under russian occupation as part of the coming ukrainian counter offense. and one of germany's biggest walk vans facing claims of sexual misconduct . several women said that they were recruited to have sex with prom steins. the lead singer chill. linda meant the bridge office. good to have you with us on this friday. and we begin with plastics . negotiators have been meeting in paris to him around a global treaty to end plastic pollution, their aim, achieving a legally binding deal by the end of next year. no campaigners been pushing for the training to not only deal with the pollution but also curb the scale of plastic production. so are they expected to reach a deal? the w's, the waves? osborne reports toxic and everywhere. plastics are in almost everything

humans produce. and they are now being found just micro plastics in the ocean inside fish and even in human breast milk. 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. 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 stake 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 have been slow going. major oil producing nations like saudi arabia and the united states have dragged 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 on new plastic production a high um vision coalition of countries led by new way and run to one to an end to plastic pollution by 2040 we of course do not want to get rid of this big speed because there 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 toxic, her substances, or because they're single use or because they are that they have developed in such

a way that these very hard and even impossible to recycle the environmental groups, a calling for a limit to the influence held by fossil fuels, love us in the negotiations, 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. the problem, the plastics i'm drawing now from paris by air to the new bar. keep the global plastics policy lead at the world wildlife fund. eric, it's good to have you with this you were at the meeting in paris this week. i mean, what was your impression? i mean we heard that there were reports that this was a, a frustrating procedure. they got bogged down with with lots of minutia. yes indeed i i'm estimating right now and into unesco building a right here behind me, the chair is just about to gabble down the last decision and they just decided to

develop the 1st draft, treat the text in the lead up to the the next me thing and r o b. so the outcome is indeed a very positive on, even if it was very tough negotiations. and what would you say outcome? are we talking about agreements that are binding? there's been many, uh, proposals put on the table. and the, the idea is that it will india and be binding. a lots of countries, a clear majority of countries have put out suggestions for bindings like global bonds and face out of the most from domestic and higher risk, plastic co products. and there has been a lot of talk about the product requirements and also a big debate. some on financing of measures in developing countries at whether, how binding they will be, whether countries will accept the taste is on,

in and binding matter will be at then subject to the negotiations later on. but they have decided to include these in the 1st draft. thanks. i know when we talk about micro plastics, they have been found all over the planet. i'm wondering is plastic pollution? is it a truly global problem or are there areas around the world that are particularly hard shit? it is a truly global problem that we have detected plastics and everywhere, and all ecosystems on the planet, from the sea ice, in the our speak to the deepest depth. and it's affecting people all parts of the world, maybe in different ways, from the people in the really hard hit, the regions in the, in southeast asia. where in some urban areas you, you live almost in plastic waste and breed talks that credit because from the open burning of plastics at 2 pacific guns day to receive plastics on their beaches and

it's harming their fisheries. and i'm also wondering what happens if we don't get an a, an agreement to your on curbing plastic production and ending on pollution. me what happens worst case scenario and i think we will then see an ex, hello racing and environmental problem. that indian will actually force and agreement, whether it's the end of next year or later. and this is becoming a very serious issue to all our ecosystems, to human health and to society. and it's happening at the and accelerating pace. so i think that in the future it will not be possible to not have a binding measure in place to tackle this crisis. okay, eric lynn, but the global plastics policy lead at the world wildlife funding. paris. eric, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. thank you. i think a plastic pollution has turned on,

spoiled the nature into trash dop so many parts of the world. one is the dream, the river here in europe, which runs through the 3 balkan countries emulated waters and plastic waste. 15000 cubic meters of it was near as 3 not over is known for its breathtaking scenery. but when it flows into this trash barrier outside the town of bishop gerad, it's an eyesore with driftwood. plastic bodies use dias and household appliances dumped by tree, balkan states. residents here are designed to the situation. i mean, i can only provide you after all these years of to move in to decades of living alongside this river. we have to accept this as a fact of life. i accidentally believe that we will die before the united clean of

garbage with a tree stuff. the dream amazons, over 300 kilometers from the mountains of monta, neutral to serbia and both now along the way on, authorized risk dumped like this one, dot hills and valleys, a full trash disclose the systems in all 3 countries means most of the waste ends up here and a trash patio installed by a bose new and hydro electric plant. what's it on? display bloopers, want the government to take action? environment ministers from the body. can states have met every 6 months, but environment lists are frustrated by the lack of progress and time is running out. so that's what i tell it on our land though, where we've been dumping garbage for years is that 90 percent capacity? so the question now is,

what will happen next year when we again face the influx of thousands of cubic meters of waste at all? what by the bosnian authorities lead the blame for the problem and lack of solutions on upstream nations for residents. here, the lack of action simply means that beautiful drivel also doubles as a regional release dump. all right, here's a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world to passenger drains have derailed in eastern india killing at least 50 people. hundreds were injured. authorities say more than $350.00 passengers were hospitalized. rescue teams are searching for people for fear the traffic in the wreckage. you're a secretary of state anthony blinking says that russia's board against ukraine has been a strategic failure. he spoke today on a visit to nato's newest member of finland. state. lincoln said that moscow's aggression as only strengthened the native hawaiian san has made the us more

resolved to calendar potential threats from shines people. the freshman state and tv has released footage of what it says. people being evacuated from the western region of belgrade, all after 2 women were killed in showing, there must go blames ukraine for the attack. chief is denied any military involvement inside of russia, saying that the attacks are conducted by russian volunteer fighters. will you credit the military says that and shut down within 30 missiles and drones and the latest round of russian strikes, targeting the chief region. early on friday, many residents of the ukrainian capital took shelter in subway stations after air raid alerts sounded across the city. the alerts, rollator lifted, keeps mayor says that no calls were made to emergency services. today.

now it comes as ukrainian forces repair that long awaited counter offensive to retake cities in the east, from the russian occupiers. to do this, troops will almost certainly have to find the street buying street house by house urban warfare imposes some of the greatest risk to soldiers as dw max santa reports deny 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 i was, i mean, been difficult. will have to go into doing yes. can move hans will have to storm every building. and there will be collaborators saboteurs, regular troops,

private military groups. you will have to drive them out of houses, not from feels. the thing is funny. that's why they're in this abandoned hotel. ukrainian troops may only have one chance to take back their talents from the russians. they can't afford mistakes. in private and as a whole, but it's 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 risks every day, except that they're ready to leave hundreds behind near one house. and when we are not ready to leave a single one. know when you're at the we have no, when you 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 . unity himself was permanent, be taken out of the fight when he was injured in battle last year. his best friend died next to him through teaching, 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 were told the number of military graves here at this hockey cemetery has doubled for the last 3 months. some of the men and women varied here were 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 victorian chuck. knew many of those he's buried here. the most of the case i meant i cannot comfort anyone to the other side because the loss remains with us. well, yeah, the there is a great and there is a coughing we years luca, because there's 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 there is full of deep meanings. let me store to move on because they repeats the savior's

feet for the se preventive more deluge through their own desk to me. of another family says goodbye on 3 legs on the beach 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 in, we need victory, where we don't need peace. even if there is no victory, then there will be nobody. he says, well, he moved, there will be slavery, defenders fear that more the death itself. and so they prepare for more sacrifice. the,

the lead singer of the popular german rock band rom style is facing allegations of sexual misconduct. several women were say that they were reported leave systematically recruited some say, even co worst for encounters concerts with the senior till linda, a hard car music, provocative lyrics over the top stage, shows all the time. stein trademarks that have made the band a major international presence. the new allegations claim that those concerts also served as a venue for sexual misconduct. one accuser alleges that a violent sexual encounter happened at a concert. i had the feeling i couldn't see anything that it hurt or that i didn't want to or that it's too much i just couldn't speak. i was just too shocked. female fans were allegedly supplied with tickets and backstage access to encourage them to

have sex with singer to linda then. that's according to research by german media organizations. multiple young women say they were asked for photos and online chat groups, or concerts. these photos were evaluated and let the invitations and allegedly to offers of alcohol and drugs. one woman says there was a whole recruitment system at work. they just manipulate the girl, so they keep coming to concerts, they keep bringing in new girls. they try to make sure no one says anything that no one gets the idea, anything's wrong with it. but i am stein and to lend them and have not responded to the new allegations. the band earlier denied accusations that linda menus knock out drugs and another concert related sexual encounter. sorry, i'm going to pull in now, daniel deborah, he is the co author of the report that we just saw. but he's also one of the journalists involved in the research for the german news outlets which began

reporting this story. daniel, it's good to have you with this. you know, the viewer is going to ask, was a crime committed at any time connected in any way to these accusations? can we say yes. i can say yes because i know the prosecutor obviously that's, that's up to, to decide in the end. and so we, it's difficult for the women also to say because them, in this situation, for example, we have the 11 of the example i mentioned in the, in the report member right before them where they maybe didn't clearly state that they don't want to have sex because there was so surprised, one woman allegedly said that and she said that, that, that to lindman, i'm kind of surprised with it and just went with it. although it was clear that that her reaction was that she didn't already wanted it, but she didn't say so clearly because she, that i what, what can i say to,

to linda monies would know in style and, and it was just too much for. so i think it's difficult to say if it's a, if it's a crime or not, but also that's not my job. i just report the story. and let me ask you to a balance of the, the, the women in this case are the ones who have spoken with reporters or any of these women saying that they were forced to do something against their will. and are we talking about anyone who is not an adult? are we talking about miners here? still when we start to they will not miners. but we'll also women who say they were never asked about the h before being invited to these parties and give them a free article and free drops allegedly. um, so we don't know um but um and these women say that um they said the difficult and balance of power. and one of the one we spoke to latches that she was

passed out to us. i'm conscious. and when she woke up, she says to lindman, lay on top of her, and asked, should i stop? and then she thought, they, what were you doing that you want to stuff? no, i was just passed out, but she doesn't know what she did and she never fired a report and no one like investigated it. so we don't really know. but i think it's still important to tell the stories and what these women alleged happened. so okay, so we've got the case where she didn't file a report i'm, i'm trying to get to know what happens here though that could be reason for the justice system to be involved or law enforcement to be involved. are we talking about people adult women who were misled or are we talking about women who were forced to do something that they didn't want to do? yeah, i mean you, in the end you it's, i think it's difficult because it's, um,

it's 2 people in a room and it's a huge amount of power. and these women sometimes may. yeah they, they didn't really know what happens after what's ends except especially for the 2nd case. this woman drank the kool, she felt unconscious. she doesn't really know what happened. but if anything happens, this might be a problem. because like if anything happens to someone who is unconscious and this might be difficult to to explain. but this is, as i said, like, this is still like, it is a presumption of innocence. these women last, the things happened. and in the end, this is for the public step to the side. okay. journalist daniel different from the judge and tied to it as well as the broadcasters in d r n w d r. daniel, thank you. thanks a the saturday seems the conclusion of germany's football season when our be lied sick,

take on the line truck frankfurt in the cup final what you're looking to retain the trophy that they won last year. well, frankfort, have a taste for silverware after winning last year's your rope, a leak, and this time around it's shaping up to be a total of 2 young goal, scoring french man. it's being quite the 1st season in germany for rondell cooler money. the young frenchman's goals 15 of them were instrumental in securing instruct frank but conference like football. and even he's surprised by how quickly he's become part of the furniture. no, it's not the but no, i didn't expect this. i thought i'd gradually find my feet here. but it all happened very quickly. i adapted very quickly, but my teammates made it really easy for me. i think it's thanks to them that i played so well this season. they helped me and i integrated well into the team. and you could say they're like a new family for me, for just so you know then for me to lulu and e, one,

the french cope with known plus season cleaning the pool called a german equivalent with bump. frank 1st up from confidence to your roof, a leak but call him and he knows his team must keep quiet. another goal, scoring frenchman to do so. christopher and concludes 16 goals made him joint talk in this league a score to most boys. i think we did a good job on him in the 1st meeting this season, a little much on the corner. we kept him pretty quiet. you know, as i said, we did very well defensively for table and they didn't score when to post. i think it's possible for us to play like that again on the defensive, leaving the much them in my trust, my defenders, and this goes on the pulse period because i made the phone. so let me conclude with the hope that trust is misplaced, as he looks to sign off by helping his site retain that come before his likeness to chelsea and lights. a cutting visited by the news that spanish international dining almost as extended his contract until 2027. the red bills funds will be

expecting their team to go into the final is favorites to do the business. once again in maryland, the waiver has charged roma coach just a burning your with using insulting and abuse of language against an official after his sides. your work only defeat too severely got the charge from european football is governing body comes after. marino was filmed, approaching match referee anthony taylor in the stadium garage, and you see here, and appearing to call him a disgrace while using exports its roma last the final on penalties after the match ended, 11 following me extra time on saturday. germany's horsberg play spanish champions, barcelona and the women's champions league final in dine holding barcelona our

favorites to lift the trophy for the 2nd time. both bird have fallen behind their continental rivals in recent years. having gone nearly a decade without european silverware. as it was in 2014 the will sprag last got that hands on the champions league, tracy back then they was something of a role modeling women's football push like the maintenance team, which sizable investment symbols, bug based volkswagen to boots of the international, to the infrastructure of the collaboration with the men's team who part of it was all great and still in the field for that model paid the way for other major teams in europe like chelsea. i've got a champions league, finalist spa, selena. maybe you could cool. we'll start victims of february and success. now go into sat today, show pieces under dogs. now bad ones playing catch up for that rivals live on and then let's yeah, come close to the recent years before we run them. if you not,

we've reached the final how do we reach the semi final and i had just last season, we would not count by boston loan or in the semi it's just a fault. it was. i think it shows both both belong to the top 4 or 5 clubs in europe. the location teams got something i didn't, let's be honest. over the years we've seen that we have to invest to stay at the top end, especially in the last couple of seasons and the lessons that we have to and want to keep pushing things further. again, are you watching dw news? i'll be back at the top of the hour with more well news followed by the day, see that the
