d to about $5.00 centimeters per hour. reduction in the height of the reservoir. the team continues to monitor these rate on or other matters on the site, ukrainian, or stars. he's previously one that the dems failure could unleash 18000000000 cubic meters of water creating not only a humanitarian disaster, but an ecological one to the united nations security council is set to hold and emergency session in a few hours to discuss the dams, destruction un secretary general antonio gutierrez has cooled, the breach a monumental humanitarian, economic, and environmental catastrophe. west indeed, as has been echoing those words while place responsibility at most coastal. how is up to the destruction it calls good them?

germany's chancellor was taken paused in a public forum on local television when asked about the damage in southern ukraine . he did not hesitate when it came to laying blame because because our event this cl, i thought this is something that fits in with many of the crimes we have seen committed by russian soldiers and ukraine. and as part of a warfare that attack civilian targets. they of the towns of villages, the hospitals of schools was infrastructure, which in the 1st place would not be military targets. investment and emily teaching 6 to okay, as my gosh for being there for this is something that has a new dimension at 1st, but also fits into the way of russian president vladimir putin is waging this war to optimize the pest, the 14 days and clicks it but most go accuses cave of sabotage. the defense minister claiming ukraine blew up the dam to prevent

a rushing offensive along the front line. do you still use the key versioning committed, another terrorist crime that could have could hydro electric them was blown or not? that was which led to the flooding of significant territories, supplemented especially submit ticket, turn it from assignments. in slovakia, ukraine's allies had strong words for the kremlin nato. his chief blaming most goes invasion for the dance destruction, the destruction of the gulf gone. tom today, pitts house and so civilians at the risk and cost of severe environmental damage. this is a great just act which demonstrates so once again, their brutality of rush, also war in ukraine. stalsen bug said russian regression was the stabilizing security, and pledge to further expand nase her support for ukraine, an adult to eat whole salsa deputy head of the office,

off the presence of ukraine. he put the blame for the destruction of the dam squarely on russia. slow the steps of the aerial successful regions, looking the comp our plans immediately on the beginning, only open aggressive march last year and all the time that was controlling the station was controlling the pricing of the station you premium, especially. so unfortunately, we're not even admitted to the station. so very natural gas group of mine to the territory. oh, there's a whole a plan. and who do do the executive to seem to be uh, uh you know theres 2. you asked me about the reasons you probably use it, us the reasons to address and say, but not a single positive. same point crane would be from, from these for this type of aggressive act of towers and the territories of slot. you're actually saying about 15000000000 cubic meters of what city are them. so the

wire, so yeah, there was the or of the last in southern grace city or them and just to the environment and go to the buyer and see all this agents. but what this very important deals of, what does the new it's in other areas develop security. there's what there was used to a to, to, to, to, to feed the article that's in your brain. and what that was was useful. you clear power plants the yet are so it's still on the, in the interest or asset to make this another doris. this sense of the book, april side because the often most of the oldest old a get to immediately, but more to be seen in the future. days mr. she'll start as you may or may not have it. the claimant's books person says that ukraine is responsible for this attack, that you, that you might have done it to cut off water supply to crimea, or to the best of my knowledge of these reserve was most the only feed into

the grain. you know, why scores, it's got supply and you know, it's a lot in the area or the left of us off. oh, so i have some list which is still controlled. the production so whole city called the east you, you utilize the lives of people whom you come from. your comment, deliberate is implement the beginning of open the rest. but for us, for us, all those people always areas. are you bringing people in your brain? we stop at the rescue on a vacation operations on the air is control by your premiums armed forces and by and craniums wow, what is what is going on on the 3rd or is which on hold on the guns? unfortunately, the years. uh well, this was the destruction of this the stab, this, which will come with it in any way affect your military strategy on the ground. probably one of the reasons you asked me in the beginning of the interview,

what was, what was the reason? it's probably been one of the reasons in order to distract our time. so from what this plan allows these not to see, you know, point to the plan resource plan. no single one of our comprehensive little bit distracted super in depth on it to do what the last little make other offensive and difficult to liberate later. so here i am, i want to, uh, quote you the words off uh, ukraine's defense, mit, excuse me, brushes, defense minister today said that your attempts as ukraine to, to launch it will stop the counter offensive, has been ported over the past 3 days. uh, could you just give us your side frontier? is that true? you know, look command, there are some narratives and say excess. let me get to there are some narratives that they can capture your grass for all the 1st 3. 05 this elaine raising. so i was on this very tough decision with the i want to bring us back to,

to the breach of the stab. and how is it, is that situation affects and will potentially going to affect the supple region nuclear power plant from what we hear to promote, definitely fo specialist you will not have an immediate effect because yes, this is, there was part of the cooling system of the separation of the problem, the bottom see this year after the international institutions, it's pretty high a to control the situation. they're claiming that they have industry control is jason, what is going on on the products? welcome uh the to the this is of the efforts to the media to the consumers adjacent to me go see, get hold of the situation. but well, i think another to control is a freaking big problem with the media, with a global tool that i sense of some of the blog exposure options for either plan or something like that might be played on his appreciate the problem on doing olivia

solving. that's easy and all of that mrs woke up, are you um able to prevent future attacks out on infrastructure like this? because this is not the 1st time we're seeing an attack on, on critical infrastructure such as the stab as well. just so one of this beam, you know, clubs on the coffee by territory was not consoled by you. great. was less was flooded. i'm glad to say well before all this is very difficult to do these, but them work with them on the web. the more support from the lessons days where gauge is the most powerful will be to start the counter offensive until it breaks the years fully already. so the only way to fully predict those stairs at task service actual process is to fully with all the rest and streams from the surgery. all right, and that is the view from kids this evening. thank you to invest the whole 12

deputy head office of the president of u. k. and we appreciate your time, sir. thank you jim. and he wants to strengthen. it's a curious he ties with india. that is the latest stop for defense minister bars. the stories on his tour of the asia pacific. he's been using the trip to expand germany's security role in the region. far beyond its backyard, joe means defense, minnesota. see the warm welcome and daddy as he met with his indian, going to box raj. not seeing the story is on a mission to bolster miller people operation between the 2 countries and defending jeremy's presence in the pacific region. of applying the advice we are planning a big joint exercise with the indian forces in the indian ocean next year. these are important examples to make clear and on dr. germany is present here and considers itself a partner in the pacific region who apply to fix on the lender. he and that it

going but this meeting is also about the weapons. the story is met with the representatives from the german alms, industrial, and deadly in depth lands to invest more than 5000000 euros. and more than i think it's submarine feet. jeremy's defense minister has shown support for such a deal. the founding law negotiations are ongoing and the german arms industry is well placed in this race down the point is a single, the german government supports it to as part of our strategic partnership. and as one of the world's largest armies, traditionally, it has been heavily dependent on brushing on supplies. but an increase in german involvement could reduce the defendants in the long run. and that's the news update before we go. here's a reminder of our top story here on dw t event. most of the are using each other are really not the major them in russian

control. us on southern ukraine officials and the area around the nova couple set them have declared a state of emergency evacuations. under way of the residents who are down and coming up next as a documentary about how security policy, santa phobia, and the code of ours. and they, me, as a, when ukraine, our lead of finding my patients to your i'll see you next time by the perfect hearing instead of response of the global business of us best us this is not a legitimate business. the people that are in don't deserve to be treated with any kind of courtesy by the governments of the world.
