the the, this is the w news live from the land you cranes and moms more international age, the victims of the, to help them describe destruction. president lensky is visiting this headphone region devastated by floods off to the collapse of the major them official site. huge waves of land are made on the natives. of course. also coming up from the

program, european countries debate how to house people seeking asylum. some states could pay to avoid posting vash as migrant. and a says may seem to result longstanding differences. divers giving rates a helping hand prompting carl an agenda to injecting antibiotics to flight disease, one world ocean. today, we look at to refresh you assets underwater. at a colombian island. the manuscript is mckenna, and thanks so much for joining us. ukraine's president load them is the lensky is demanding, but international aid agencies do more to help with thousands of people affected by the breach of the cutoff. could them early as zalinski visited the affected region of fest on for our official say up to 600 square kilometers of land remain on the

meat as a slight water. so lensky was glad to assess the relief effort with evacuations and access to the drinking water among the top power seas. ukraine and russia are accusing each other of destroying them. a w correspondence on your phone. the call is in the floods affected area in southern ukraine. i all stuff and more about presidents lensky is visit on the ongoing rescue efforts. while i knew that there was quite a plenty of activity here earlier in the city of capstone where i am. and in fact, this incident, ski visited this very point of this flooded street behind me, that you can see this is actually a major junction in the city, which is now completely on the water and way people are being evacuated. no, you said to have met rescue and volunteer teams. he's been posting with a telegram, optical, thanking them for the efforts. and of course, he has accused inspection agencies of not really being hit on the ground to help.

and i have to see the relief operations that you see behind me. they are going on, they're going on in several neighborhoods of capstone. and i have to say it's mainly that ukrainian army and emergency services that are on the ground. there are a few volunteers with come in from keep that a few individual, pardon for them to use uh, between the not any big international agencies here on the ground. nobody but we will speaking audio to one of the, one of the groups that have come down from keith. they will had been out of bottled water. i didn't quite dramatic scenes because people would really draw shooting and be snapped it up in a matter of minutes. and i think people should have not begun to smoke up on drinking water, which is of course, one of the biggest concerns here. the couple of them supplied much of the drinking water to southern ukraine. another major concerns that you know that we've run out person savanski had spoked about hundreds of thousands of people. potentially, you know, going without access to clean drinking water. that we know that ukraine and rush or choosing each other of a destroying with them rushes suddenly a person is cooling,

this, and environmental and humanitarian catastrophe. while zalinski is accusing, most go of abandoning people in areas affected on the it's controlled, we're going to take a closer look. uh sony. sony, i'll come back to you in just a moment. catastrophe the front and the destruction of the house could um it has less thousands without food and power . ukrainian volunteers are bringing age to people stranded in slot, which is that these rescue efforts and limited to the korean and control region did you meet pro river and southern ukraine divides the russian and ukrainian controls territories. ukraine's president accuses russia of abandoning people in the areas it controls. the situation in the occupied part of the car san regents is absolutely catastrophic. the occupiers to be abundant. people in these terrible

conditions without rescue, without water just left on the roofs of the houses and drug communities is that the ma ukrainian. um you released this vintage to show it is trying to help people behind enemy lines using minute tree drains to deliver clean drinking water and rushing out to find areas. so far, it's unclear who destroyed to them. ukraine claims it was russia's attempts to slow the counter offensive roster was cooling into ukrainian act of sabotage. it isn't just people suffering in the ultimate so saddam's destruction close to the healthcare reservoir. thousands of dead fish have washed up on the show. creation a graveyard of many species. environmental is say some of them may never recover the of the same type of prostate estimation on

different sides. these people take from 3 to 10 years for the 1st issue. so the car you will be able to the car, but probably suspicious will not be able to the car to the previous numbers for the color at all. unfortunately, the u. n. one is which levels will keep rising over the next stylus as well as the human and environmental told of the disaster to sonya can you tell us more about what you're hearing from people uh where you are and how son will on yeah. to be very honest for residents of the city, things are really tough. you know, this region right, since the beginning of the full scale envisioned on steel by rush of this region has been under heavy attack. the city of coastal on it. so has, you know, it was under 9 months of russian occupation last year. last november, you paid your troops liberated the city. there was a moment of hope there. but ever since, you know,

the city has been on the relentless bombardment of, from russian troops who are embedded on, on the eastern bank of the, to the portable that's just behind me the, to the photo. but as of right behind me, i'm still in the city, you are here to get a constant news of opportunity fire. people already kind of design that and tired, and now this struck the floods. i think just the latest blo be spoke to. some residents, odeo who were quite a motion and we spoke to one woman who had, who said she had really headed out during the entire auction occupation for 9 months, but a non last to home to the floods. so i think things are really difficult here for us. it sounds desperate. sonya, thank you so much. that's the w correspondence. sonya solomon, atomic cover pushing from pass on to fronts now with 4 children and adults have been injured in a knife, a task in the south east of the country. the attack happened in the alpine town of anna see on thursday morning. please say the suspected attack has been arrested and

is a theory in national with refugee spacious police, say the children involved. what about 3 is 2 of them on the adult, all in a life threatening condition, the french president and my new and my call as cool, the attack, an act of absolute cowardice. i i your opinion interior administers amazing it today and luck some the to try to overcome longstanding differences over the migration policies for years. you members have seen it all of a how asylum see cuz should be distributed across the block. southern countries have demanded more support from the eastern. i know the neighbors. it's hope the talks could now lead to a breakthrough years of debate and disagreements have left your ups migration and asylum policy. oh, i see more than a 1000 people have dr. undergoing missing trying to reach the continent this year.

last and what many called the broken system. european union rules say people must claim asylum in the country where they 1st arrive and that's left some governments demanding change. over time, we have seen an erosion of trust where, for instance, southern member states have felt that they have not been able to receive the support that they need as right wing parties as populous parties have gained majorities and several member states. there has been a shift towards the right and therefore also more restrictive immigration policies . southern coast to e, u. countries like italy, spain and greece received the most irregular arrivals in the block with boats often traveling from 2 easier morocco and turkey. as a past attempt at forcing states further afield to take in some of those migrants failed due to opposition from hungry, poland, and many others. no brussels latest compromised upon with the low countries to opt out of welcoming more migrants. if they contribute to the costs of hosting or

deporting people elsewhere. also on the table, a proposal to create separate tracks for those seeking protection. and if it costs done, numbers, request submitted by people from places considered safer. such as albania or pocket stone would be directed through a different screening system at the border. so authorities can more easily send people back. critics say europe is trying to barricade itself from asylum seekers, unsure responsibility. but the official behinds upon hoops, countries will finally come together if we agree on a common approach to manage migration in the you may, but restricted way together. we would all be with this because we will be able to manage migration together in an orderly way and, and that is and no man mistake can do it alone. brussels says bridging this political divide will help save lives. but some fear the reforms will fall short as

people continue to risk their lives to reach these shores. corresponding bad, i think it is covering today's negotiations in luck. some book for us about what do you expect to happen today at this? you interior administers meeting to the john says to results this bit of dispute among the 27 member states are standing at 5050 different amounts. tell me a 6 member states already said no. and the other's a student negotiating the nitty gritty in the details of the screening process that shall be invented adults. so a relocation theme. so the interest in the, the positions of the member sits on still fall apart. we are hearing at the end if they take the effort to find a solution, it can be a long night and the maybe it goes into the next morning. but the,

you 100 the commissioner for migration that home affairs said we already have done a marathon. now let's do the last 100 meters also. you know, we've been talking for years about european union countries trying to agree on new migration rules. you'll saying it's 5050. i mean, what could push it over the line this time? it was a this, the effects on the grounds that the pushing because that more migraines coming more asylum applications are interested in the you every and now 850000 last year and the number as the rising. so interior municipal, the actually want to do something to bring down these numbers to the game of the whole exercise is to determine margins not to come to europe and not to apply for asylum. yeah. and also in negotiations with the 3rd countries like to news over the migrants are transiting from underway to resolve that. and there's also an a time

issue because if the interior, mrs. come not to terms of this, this deal today. and they have to negotiate that also with the parliament that has to agree and next year we have elections in june, putnam and we'll go into recess in january, february. and so the time is also of the essence here. all right, the company's bentley got thank you so much and we can get more from lisa. but to me, she's a member of the german green policy and member of the german bundis tag. and she has signed a paper that says that this new reform proposal would make it much more difficult for people to claim asylum. thank you for joining us on d. w today. can you tell us why do you think this proposal will make it so much harder? for people to claim assign them as hello. thank you for the invitation. so i think

the phone number turned them into a ride to asylum is at risk with this proposal and especially, and we all the people um those sides uh, the resolution you just mentioned. we appearing that especially my nurse, so children and families could be detained for weeks at the external parties of you . and we think this would not be a human to terry a thing to do. so this is for example, $11.00 point which is very critical, critical which but if the consensus is that the existing regulations have failed, why would you stand in the way of a reform that frankly also decades of tool king has the potential of leading to a to a new and a best for agreement. so i think nobody's standing in the way to a new and better agreement, but the question is, will there a consensus or can a solution be found?

there were also the states with external borders of the you will like italy, greece, spain could agree to because at the moment they have the responsibility for a lot of asylum seekers and we're part of this. and i think it's the other states try to find a solution that is not a solution with most of the guarantees and solution, which also is good for those states at the external borders. then uh the solution cannot be found. and i think this is the case at the moment with the existing proposal. okay. just looking at the big picture, you know, is the main focus? hey, i shouldn't the main focus be on a fara sharing of responsibility across the uses. making sure that migrants are distributed more evenly among them, the countries and i totally agree. i think this is the critical point. we need more solidarity. we need distribution model member states because the system as it

is now is not working for a lot of states. and also it's not working for a lot of asylum seekers. but i just also want to mention one positive thing, which is not discussed, often enough. like, and nearly 4000000 people from ukraine came to europe last year. so this uh, that was a big success in, within the european union that we managed to, to have those people in the union and, and to give them protection. and i think this is just one example that shows the strength of solidarity within the community was she could have just getting back to this, this new proposal that's on the table. it says that countries who refused to host migrants must contribute financially. now, some countries, quite frankly, a likely never to agree to hosting refugees. so i'd like to get your take on this, isn't this the best way of guessing the less cooperative countries to help to

improve the situation? i mean, i think it's better. it's for somebody hungry, pays money, then doing or contributing nothing. but i think this, we're not really solve the problem. so this could, in the end, the time you get to a solution where everybody is just paying and still, then we have no um, shared responsibility. and i think the worst case would be to have a system where people can buy themselves out of the solar charity and that we have strict procedures, ethics, total borders, which threatened the rights for asylum seekers. so this would be really a worst case scenario. and yeah, we should not have rights lisa, but jim then the of the german belinda stock and the jim green policy. thank you so much for your time today here on d. w. thank you. thank you. okay, let's take

a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. ukraine's president has denied that his government was involved in the sabotage of the north stream $1.00 and $2.00 gas pipelines. a lot of midland skis, remarks follow claims in the washington post newspaper that ukraine secretly planned to attack the pipelines months before the 2022 explosions. polanski said he would never acts that way and demanded prove hundreds of indigenous people have marched outside brazil's congress and supreme court to protest against the bill that threatens that i'm federal territories. the bill imposes the costs of date from federal land claims. 1988 when brazil's present constitution was adopted to their indications of the former us president donald trump may soon sized criminal charges over the alleged mishandling of classified documents. according to us, media trumps lawyers have been told that he is a target and

a federal investigation around 100 documents marks as classified were retrieved from his private residents in florida. last august. now its weld ocean day today, a time to recognize how important our horses and marine life are to human life for one they produce around hoff as the oxygen that we brief. now the world's oceans also cover more than 70 percent of the planets that home to up to 10000000 different marine species. and they provide most of the wells by our diversity. now, not only to the ocean's health feed us, but they also regulate or climate. they kept trip more comp and then anything else on the planet, and they have sold around 90 percent of the heat generated by rising emissions. and as climate change rooms, the ocean sea levels are rising and marine by diversity is being lost and that includes many of the wells. carl reese bus on

a small island just of columbia. the blue indigo foundation is trying to turn the tide. it's developing a unique way of growing small carl fragments under the sea to create new rece correspondent nicole risk went to the island of son andras in the caribbean, to find out more new homes under construction biologist maria fit, and then the maya is drilling holes. but one of the most fascinating preaches in the ocean, carls for now they're still small, but they could grow into a new re few in the waters of sun under this island. it is a team effort involving locals, scientists, and dining schools. the window. but obviously this is moving for us, it is really important to focus in the coral restoration and help the reeves we live on an island in the middle of the ocean. and our economy almost entirely

depends on coral reeves fans and the impact that humans have on the ocean at the moment is too big into negative. we want our impact on our ecosystem to be positive . so we need that field because they're black though they know no way that policies do you understand these things? carlos vital and helping to protect coast lines from erosion and boosting, find diversity. but they are in serious trouble worldwide in columbia alone, 60 percent of them are damaged on the threats of particular concern is stony carl tissue loss disease that started spreading last year. so i'm, i find that i both have to admit, assisting closely it kills them in 2 or 3 months or in a matter of things get broken bottles. so we are very worried because the disease is already here, like the most is policy. and what are we doing against people? we impact antibiotics. it's so much so, so in hydrate now lots of what do you need to bite in the us and use the help of

governments or foundations to know a by whole way. and then they will yet know off on that ceilings and expensive and difficult underwater treatment is available, paid for by donations. but shot of us is that it is vital that the government now invests in the program as they do with color restoration, part of colombia, some business plan to restore $200.00 texas of reese here in san andreas fisherman, automotive hudson road. the biggest also has an interest in that business plan. the key to helps transplant calls into the reef, just opposite the small beach restaurant that he runs. that is part of for me. and that is what going to help us get some fresh the product, the, the, the hoses, project, or beach. also 2 decades ago, he needed only 2 hours to get enough fish in one go. now with the risk degrading it

can take up to a day. but the rodriguez has hope now because of the new carls. we put them there for the i like in 3 weeks when we went about there, there was growing, i was like, surprise. i couldn't believe it when i heard about it 1st time. i couldn't believe it was unbelievable. it will take time for the small corals to grow into prosper reeves and with the pressure on the ecosystem. not all of them might make it the team on sunday, so aware of that. but every, as it counts just safety ecosystem and the ocean on the doorstep. which way now by jessica battle senior global ocean governance and policy x the, the world wildlife fund in geneva. welcome to the w. jessica. can you tell us how important it is to mancha day like today? well, the ocean day and also about the assets that are being made to improve the protection

of the oceans. yes, thank you so much for having me. i'm happy with the ocean's day, and it's always really important to have both co date for issues like ocean is which are sometimes sort of far away from most of us in our daily lives, but actually are really important to our lives and our livelihoods. and so having and they like this were ocean issues of being portrayed them in general such as this one, part of the main issues that are being covered is really, really important to get the focus needed on ocean. you let the, the world love life funds, team the negotiations for the you and high sees tracy that was finally adopted a few months ago. how important a milestone was. that is a huge thing for the milestone. other highest is, truth is about about 42 percent of all the time it's, it's, it's most of our ocean, but it's international. and here all states need to collaborate in order to

safeguard the by diversity that exist in this last area. this includes whales that includes coils to includes many, many fish, and many other fishes upon which we humans or economically, or, or ecologically depending on some very, very important milestones. and it was also incredible to see that or countries as the final day of negotiations could agree to the final tax, the robust way, some and some, some a, a sort of ball thing that have to be done. so that's not, not everybody got what they wanted, but everybody got some things. i made them happy. you just mentioned carlos. i mean, we just saw in our report one example of the efforts being made to save our oceans . to what extent time the re growing carl race counts. so the effects of climate change on our oceans? well, it's very important as i've seen them in the field, and just now at calls are so important for the livelihoods of local communities.

and so, re growing corals in the right places and also using their life kind of clothes that can withstand some of the pressures that you know, including a rising temperatures and a city finding waters give us a bush which done this is precious, are coming more and more into the ocean is very important, but it's also really important to remember that we have to take the impressions of the ocean. we have to stop over fishing. we have to stop. physically destroy habitats, lice systems such as quarter wave. i would most self funding, fossil fuels, to reduce and stuff our kaufman emissions. jessica, baffled from the w. w. s. thank you so much for your time today. thank you. this is a quick reminder of our top story for you. the crating president load them is lensky has visited areas, devastations by flooding off to the destruction of the cost. good them polanski
