the, the, this is dw slide from pilot. thousands are, we've actuated, after a major down breeds in southern ukraine. unleashes a tar, and a flag horses phase of mounds of humanitarian catastrophe. as keith and moscow, excuse each other of destroying the cutoff cut that there are warnings to flooding

cold calls and environmental crisis to we talk to ukraine's environmental minutes to, to get his assessment of the impact. and, and, and these are ritual sold to bring good luck at the rim of an active volcano. it's part of a century sold. indigenous festival. do you have to get that for the analysis? i'm going to have it with as well. come to the program, thousands of people flee in southern ukraine after the destruction of a major diamond, an area controlled by russia rescue team. so racing to evacuate areas you know, and a bus stop. what is the united nations? a jeep says the breach cost cut down could be the most significant damage to civilian infrastructure. is the stats of the wall?

keith claims most kyle blew up the dime on the front line to slow ukraine's military by russia. is that using ukraine of sabotage? meanwhile, the us says, it cannot say, conclusively, what's happened now was to begin searching through the car cost cut down on hydro. electric pops on early on. so tuesday morning, it was built in the soviet times to hold a launch reservoir that supplies water for millions, including full cry me up. that was alex by russia. and as you can see, the dime and the surrounding areas on the russian military control, the dom itself is located just above the small town of nova kafka on the, the pro river. the reservoir lies above it. smoking paused a moment. all the sites is up. what is your nuclear power plant, which is also on the russian control? the dam is around such a columbus as east of the city of caps on which ukraine recaptured from russia last

november before the the dunbar, as the reservoir contains an estimated 18 cubic kilometers of water. it provides water to these up. what is your nuclear power plant as we 1st? and although the salons react as have been shut down since last september, they still need cooling water to keep them safe. with floodwaters rising, people grasped what they could and fled supplied sydney, everything is submerged in water. all the furniture, the fridge, food, all the flowers, everything is floating. i didn't know what to do. satellite images taken 2 days apart. so the extent of the damage to the cove could um, the most,

almost all the officials say up to a t townsend villages are at risk of flooding. thousands of residents have been told to evacuate. the dam lies in russian controlled southern new crane. and near the front line want to show you ukraine blaine's most go for the breach. president below to me is a lensky claims that keith knew that russia had placed explosives on the last year . inform, entered the information, indeed came from our intelligence. we chatted without partners and everyone essentially understood that the russian federation was together with 2nd collaborators had a mind the dam go about i'm. i'm assuming the wallet done with schumann, a little ukraine, just such a un security council meeting to discuss the disaster washer again, pointed the finger of blame at ukraine. why would we do it? besides, through canadians was threatening to during the demo time, including an official the united states representative counted this. i want to make

absolutely clear. it was russia that started this work. it was russia that occupied this area of ukraine. and it was russian forces that took over the damn me legally last year and have been occupying, ever since. well, lee does have condemned what is being called a humanitarian, an ecological disaster. or ukraine's environment minister has told d w that the breach of the dam will leave parts of his country's nature. and while i live in a state from which it can never recover roost on 3, let's also said up to 1000000 people may be left without access to fresh water. he was speaking to the w. corresponding jack powered in brussels are in my opinion today we have the few just the crimes environmental crimes from the 1st day or full scale invasion. i understand that the, now we have destroyed a lot of territory as we have for the last national park there. thought it,

this isn't, isn't a new pulse key or is it a oil? you know, we have a lot of for destroyed them. parts of the emerald network for you to be on emerald network and knowledge editor. and i understand that the some parts of wild nature, we lost forever. this is a better button. ok. this is a real active site and this is video home when that i've got the structure for the future. um, i understand that some, maybe 1000000 people will be was out of fresh water from the 1st day of the full scale invasion. we tried to calculate all of environmental damage, now we have more than a $2400.00 cases or 4 and one month old crimes. the total damage is more than $52000000000.00 oil us. i believe that in future it will be as a base to get the reparations from russia. now, i mean the, not the,

i say not about the older protection. i mean environmental reputation a lot. was you france environmental service on the street? let's talking to dw in brussels of them. and what we're hearing from southern ukraine, from the region of have song is that the water levels there are still rising at this moment though with less intensity as before. but we expect the water level to peak at some points during the day. and now as far as now the have a southern region, 2000 houses are reported to have been destroyed. and some what, 1500 people have been evacuated so far in that particular region. the authorities, warren, that up to 40000 people, may be in danger of being flooded um over the night. so people have been evacuated from the city of had us on as well. we saw people there holding out on the roofs of cars on roofs of houses,

waiting for rescue teams to pick them up and rescue teams from neighboring regions from that region and from other places the new frame have arrived. yes, so during the day and are trying to get people to safety there. um as far as now the evaluations seem to be quite difficult um, due to limited access due to flooded rose limited communication. and there is also still showing happening. while risk is, are trying to get people to safety there. in addition to that, there is another threat now with land mines be, hadn't been washed away from the banks of the new pro river. now also a hampering rescue efforts there. at the moment, there has been that there is an evacuation playing plan in place. we here, but lots of people already had left due to the due to the fighting, had left these areas already and those for their, at the moment a lot of them are, seems to be the people who are trying to hold off. and then not just the fighting, but also this new situation right now we just had the ukranian environment minutes

. so then uh, calling this an eco site. can you give us an idea of the scale of them? right, so what we heard yesterday already is that it's roughly a 150 tons of oil had been released and that the need for river this has an effect on the water quality overall. so this is going to be needed for drinking water, not just and you creating controlled territory, but also in russian controlled territory as well as crimea. the water is needed for agriculture as well. so the agriculture ministry also said that $10000.00 hector is of the agricultural land could be flooded. this could have a mass of effect on food security as well. so this is something that this uh, that will definitely need to be washed. in addition to that, a forward is a warning of a nuclear disaster, potentially looking upstream with uh, dropping levels in the, in the, in the water water bodies there. and that's it for each of you for your power plant needing, needing this water for cool. and the situation seems stable there at the moment, but this is definitely something that needs to be watched the spelling of my son

today and key of for us. thank you. months mike mountain is a senior will studies fellow at kings college in london, the austin, who he thinks was behind the band bridge. i'm 90 percent show that this is the russians. and there was a slim tell us that it happened by accident because the st structure had been weakened by previous minish activity. but if you look at the timing way, ukraine is moving to a new phase of its counseling fences. and also the fact that a lot of this was a, is going to have a huge amount of terry. an impact is also taking out some ukranian positions on the islands in the middle of the river. i think that's what the russians were intending . but i think it's also important to note that i don't think that the russians expected it to be this big of this serious. i think they wanted a small floods that would take out those. you kind of positions, but this ended up being something much bigger. me, now,

you credit president problem is a lensky said and is not the address that this will not stop you find from taken back occupied territory. how is this likely to change quite literally the shape of the battlefield? so i think e crane has a 2 jobs. now obviously it needs to focus on getting it civilians safe. and that really is the focus right now as you've heard from your correspondence, but not really a week or so that will be done. and then the dr. field has changed down the street and then it's going to be the river is gonna be much wider. so it's gonna be much more difficult for you trying to attack a customer the but up stream eventually is the workers receive the river, particularly areas like cars reservoir dialed up until yesterday. why was the restaurant will be smooth side perhaps over the summer that might dry out? i think look here, all these changes and it's impossible to say exactly what the changes are going to

be for the box, but we can talk in general times. we should probably also note that the training ministry is much more able to adapt them the russian ministry. and so something of this scale, as you say, change the shape of the box of those types. you probably might have an advantage and the speed at which it can adapt. now this does offset, and as you said, have struck a territory that is mainly controlled by the russians. how will this affect their ability to defend against the training and offensive as well? this is one of the main reasons why i think that they were intending for a smooth breaking the dime, and they've ended up with a massive one. there were lots of reports of russian soldiers on the south bank of the river need pro, climbing to the tops of trees, and that positions have been wiped out. so any possible gain that they might have had, perhaps they could re deploy those troops to another area to defend against you, training and offensive, say in the south towards operations have been wiped out very on. now having to look

at rescuing that routing troops. so what i think this has been a bit of it is also that nobody wants it on now both sides having to adopt simmers phones. yeah. the kind is that having to get the civilians out of the following on the russians that having to read to prove that troops. and that was these folks up, lots of logistics. i it actually, i suspects in the long time is not going to have a huge effect on the battlefield. mark mountains. i thank you very much, mike. thank you. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. do a secretary of state anthony blinking has suggested into saudi arabia and help thoughts with the saudi conference. well, how much been solved on the pad reportedly discussed a range of bilateral issues in an open and candid conversation, blinking is indicating them to study washington's relationship with we had off the years of deepening disagreements in the us, the full,

the new jersey governor, chris christy, how's the lowest is contained for the republican presidential nomination? christy joins a growing slights of candidates and a res dominated by former president donald trump. opinion poll suggests trump currently has the most support. christie worked on from successful 2016 presidential campaign, but is now vocal from critics german shots, but one of the shots hosted french president am unaware of my call and a working tenants in the city of pottstown, maryland. on tuesday, ukraine was understood to be top of the agenda at the meeting, which is viewed as a warming of relations between the 2 leaders to india now, which is the latest stop for german defense minister bar. as the story is on has 2 of the asia pacific, the 2 countries have been called pricing for decades in military matches, but berlin wants to further strengthen its security ties with debbie. the story is

says he wants to make it easier for india to buy german made weapon systems. what india wants to reduce its dependence on russian ops supplies. germany's defense minister received a warm welcome and daddy, as he met with his indian going to box raj. not seeing the story is on a mission to bolster military cooperation 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 participates with the lender here in that a goal. but this meeting is also about the weapons. the story is met with the representatives from the german arms, industrial, and deadly in depth lands to invest more than 5000000 euros. and more than i think

it's submarine, feet or jeremy's defense minister has shown support for such a deal. the founding law negotiations are ongoing and the german arms industry as well placed in this race. 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. germany needs nurses, so it's perhaps one of the most pressing aspects of an overall skills shortage here . and that's why it's from the on the mind of germany's foreign and labor ministers on that trip to brazil. the hoping to encourage more of the country's health workers to help fill the gaps back home. my arrow, the olive era,

surrounded by her german books and her notes. she studied nearly 6 years to get her diploma nursing but has not worked as a nurse. yes, he did. in 2021. she applied for a nurse program initiated by the german federal employment agency and was accepted window for july. you know, it has going to another country isn't easily. okay. we felt like i've never left brazil eyes, but the desire to start a life abroad, where i could have a better quality of life is what makes me really want to do it. a key 5 move was each kid. she has 2 jobs now working at a tire shop on the retirement home, taking care of the elderly. my, our hopes to emigrate to europe by the end of the year. as a nurse, she'd be able to earn more than twice as much as she does now. but money isn't the only motivation. a missile is a shame to say something about you from here in brazil. the said you can do internships while studying to become a nurse, a i am,

but the salaries are very low on that. but i was just how you, but it's impossible to leave your job and venture route shopping, having bills to pay any respect thing. cuz i got a low salaries make it difficult to work as a nurse. additionally demanding working hours the one of the main complaints of health professionals, the sector employees around 3000000 people in brazil, it's one of the largest health care systems in the world. i would yeah, the all the, the majority of those it, i'll choose to practice the profession and not the country specifically in the case of germany, the law is obviously looking for better living conditions. you have and are better pay off the kayla. yeah, this, but i think that it has to be all katty. this is only has to be the expert says that the growing interest of professionals to emigrate to germany which faces the

shortage of skilled labor, is not a brain drain for the local health care system. no for heavy airport is that will not be a lack of professionals in brazil. if i put you to the fact that only a few people want to emigrate. well, my specific case of germany is really a small number compared to the number of health care work us. we have ca my, our studies german, 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. she gets a 500, you're a scholarship. she's now getting ready to take a language test in august. it would be the last hurdle before she packs her bags to move to germany. she's excited about the public green spaces. she also hopes to travel to berlin at the end of the year to fulfill her dream. and that song is thought best. well, for me it's a matter of personal and professional fulfillment to be able to exercise my profession in another country. well, knowing that i'll be able to work in my field of expertise and also knowing that

i'll be paid very well. so that's one of the crucial points. why i want to emigrate and start a new life. me get up at old sites. like with some of the united nations is preparing to drain over a 1000000 barrels of oil from a decaying tanka on the coast of the m and the f. as o safa has been abandoned off the portal for data for years threatening and ecological disaster. but finally, after years of fundraising, a salvage operation could soon begin roasting rack off the coast of human fedex. but say it's a catastrophe. waiting to happen for stuff is coming, move in a 1000000 barrels of crude oil, and that's concerned. it could break apart at any moment for tank. it was being used as a floating storage facility for oil when human civil war broke out in 2015. since

then is being left to rot. in 2019 a team went on board and took these photographs. they shaved the extensive and neglect even van pipes were leaking and valves roasting through a smooth adult from space. the stuff could have a big environmental impact, a spilling the red sea would devastate wild life, leaf fishing communities, destitute and would disrupt trade. 3 of us who is canal you people have been talking about it and the not doing anything about it. this group has been able to do something about it and i believe will be successful. will continue to push forward or something. so we succeed for united nations, raised money for us. i wish operation for members states private companies at even the public through a crowd funding campaign. it used sort of

a proceeds to buy his own time to cooling, to the north. fis on the nation shows the plan for north it moves in close adults with the stuff the engineers board and gain access to its tanks. a low a pumps and transfer the oil to the north dakota. once its empty for tank, it will be towed away to be scrapped the risk, so something going wrong are real the palpable. and this is something where to go wrong. indeed, many questions would be asked the only way we could answer that question as well. walking away is not an option, it wouldn't be easy view and saves you a ton to see if could be the biggest oil spill. the world has ever seen an indonesia of thousands of him to worship us, and they'll have climbed the extra full kind of to offer tributes, including livestock, all in the hope that it will bring them. good luck. it's all possible nations

religious, which will turn me to please the court house in 54. these got the at the same of this active one cannot worship us from the thing. good. right and indigenous grouping, eastern java play mount from each year to sacrifice some of their belongings from god he did produce and from like disability or can afford to sacrifice the quotes to the smoking. great. it's a way for the religious to offer that attracted you to their gods. the we have a lot of cows back home and so one of them can be considered additional. i have brought one cow here to return it to the gods. can i do this once a year because i'm hoping for a better income. i can let my wealth is better now than before. therefore, i have come to offer my thanks to capital man, but not everything get smoked in the world can really just from the tribes

a great deal on the steep slopes with the gear to catch the offerings. the sacrifice is a month for centuries. going to get to new york, a sort of festival. it is on the 14th day of the festival when worship us make offerings to the mountain gods. the legend is that in the 15th century, a time this prince and princess of the japanese, him the empire were trying to didn't wish for the children by the gods on the promise that the youngest child would be sacrificed to the one candle for the prosperity of the thing could be, but since then the festival continuous and it's the feet of the little be drive that drives them to for them. 32 was and i have some sports news for you now and tennis. novel junk of a child's one through the, to the semi finals of the french open, the syrup had to work hard for victory,
