true conservation for only green washing. after all, there are billions to be made. our 2 hush document treat deep sea greed starts june 8th on d, w. the . this is dw news, live it from berlin tonight. how do we solve a problem? a plastics negotiate is around the world of trying to reach a deal to end our global plastic pollution problem. also coming up to now i do cranium troops training for urban warfare, preparing to take back cities that are occupied by russian forces. and one of

germany's biggest walk vans facing claims of sexual misconduct. what is alleged to have happened backstage at rom stein's concert. the break off to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome negotiators, have been meeting in paris to hammer out a global treaty to end plastic pollution. their aim achieve a legally binding d o. by the end of 2024 of the 1st draft. it could be ready as early as november of this year. campaigners have been pushing for the treaty to not only deal with the pollution but also to curb the scale of plastic production. so are they expected to reach a deal to w's?

louise osborne reports 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 as full life cycle approach. transparency and the 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 drag to the hills on technical issues like floating 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 large by no way 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 items because they in contain toxic 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 fuel loves and then it goes, she ation 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. or earlier we spoke with eric linda berg, global plastics, policy lead at the world wildlife fund. he followed the events in paris and we asked him for his take on this meeting to end plastic pollution. yes, indeed. i asked him anything 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 been many uh, proposals put on the table. and the idea is that it will, in the end be binding 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 high risk plus the 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. whether how binding they will be, whether countries will accept to take this on in a 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 to take the 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, your live almost in plastic waste. and bree talks incredibly calls from the open burning of las vegas at 2 pacific on stage 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? i think we will then see an ex, hello racing environmental problem. that indian will actually force and agreement, whether it's the end of next year or later at this is becoming a very serious issue to all our ecosystems, to human house 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 measuring face to tackle this crisis. okay, eric lynn, but with 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. thank you. a plastic pollution has transformed pristine landscapes into rubbish dumps and many parts of the world. consider the dream. the river right here in europe, it runs through the 3 balkan countries. emerald waters

and plastic waste. 15000 cubic meters of it. the boss, me as 3 not of a is known for it's breathtaking scenery. but when it flows into this trash barrier outside the down, no, fisher drug, it's an eyesore with drift food. plastic bottles use dias, and household appliances dumped by 3 bodies can states residents here are designed to the situation. i mean, i can only quote body after all these years of to move into 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 wisdom like this one, dot hills and valleys for trash disclose the systems in all 3 countries means most of the waste ends up here and a trash patio installed by a boss noun, 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 orlando 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? that 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. this ukraine's military says that it shut down more than 30 missiles and drones in the latest round of russian strikes, targeting the region around cheap early on friday. many residents of the ukrainian capital took shelter in subway stations after air raid alerts sounded across the city. the alerts for later lifted keeps mayor says that no calls were made to emergency services of this as ukrainian forces prepare that long awaited counter offensive to retake cities in the east from russian occupiers. to do this, troops will almost certainly have to fight street by street house by house urban warfare. it poses some of the greatest risks to soldiers as dw max. it's under

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 faced, chilling and trenches. instead of resting. they prepare for what maybe next was i mean, been difficult. will 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 cannot from feels. the thing is funny. that's why they're in this abandoned hotel. the ukranian troops may only have one chance to take back their towns from the russians. they can't afford to state your private and is the hold. 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 then we're done with we are not ready to leave a single one. so when you're at 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. but 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 you already himself was permanently 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 dying we are 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 victoria body. chuck knew many

of those he's buried here. most of cases i meant i cannot comfort anyone to the other side because the loss remains with us. well, yes, there is a grave. and there is a coffin. well, here's luca because there is a separation until the end of our days. when there's nothing to this doing it, but we should know who what they did and are doing now pulling this is full of do you mean isn't useful to move on because they repeats the savior's feet, or do they prevent more to allow you to secure their own desk to me 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 we don't need peace. even if there is no victory, then there will be nobody. he said, well, he moved. there will be slavery. defenders fear that more than the death itself. and so they prepare for more sacrifice the most do crating and soldiers are now new recruits. what will that mean? as ukraine launch is counter offensive against russian forces? i asked e hor job class. he's the deputy head of the office of ukrainian president zelinski,

the salters, which will be taken apart into congress ends if i well, i'm saying that now they submitted this begin with you haven't the saying and we're not going to get the best equipped and best knowledge and experience ukraine, you know, so just to remind, we're having these uh what i guess the most expensive way to, to the driver since 2014 but not on the be great. yeah. at 1st i try to give them when my president is visiting the capital, so you know, it sounds a little rob. the last small one of the bar subdivision is visiting the military base and looking not only the web members are sent to your brain, but the military while having the experience of this military base with the best instructors from the, from the gun series, from the office then use us for that the gun defense and we'll do that in success. that was the hor job across the deputy head of the office of ukrainian president loaded mia so lensky. all right, let's take

a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . russian state tv has released voltage of what it says are people being evacuated from the western region of bell good on that after to women, there were children showing most gale has blamed ukraine for the attack. keith, it's designed in the military involved. but inside russia, it says the attacks were conducted by russian volunteer fighters to passenger trains have derailed an eastern india killing, at least 70 people. hundreds of been injured authorities to save more than $350.00 passengers. for hospital rescue teams are searching for people, fear detract in the wreckage. lovely students in synagogues, capital cars are evacuating their university campus. following thursday's deadly clashes between police and protesters. 9 people died in the unrest which broke out over the sentencing of opposition leader forced months, sancho,
