plans to tighten europe's policies on asylum seekers. but is this the breakthrough deal many happen hoping for an standing west, the band fans of germany's that i'm stein, attends the metal groups concert in munich despite the accusations of sexual assault against the front man to lend them on the call fairly. it's good to have you with us. ukraine is accusing russian forces of showing an area in the south of the country, even as rescue efforts are underway to help people their escape flooding caused by the destruction of the gulf got down earlier this week. several people are reported to have been injured during air strikes and the 1st one region was selling for

a suspension of some rescue work mosque on meanwhile, says it's forces have fallen off a ukrainian offensive on another part of the front line. the president of all of them is the last the visited areas hit by the flooding. he criticized age groups for not doing and off, and called for a clear and quick global response to the flooding of thousands are evacuated, some are choosing to remain. so was the president of a lot of mirrors and lensky meets with the emergency services in the ukrainian controlled city of have so on to assess the damage. 2 days after the destruction of the dam on the new pro river sent torrents of water down stream, flooding, towns and villages. the number of casualties remains unclear, but local hospitals are filling up the landscape, st. medics, and talked with patients during his visit. how are the doctors?

he asked. good replied the patients who seem a little star struck to see their president. when we listen to what's moral support, no matter how hard it is, says this woman. there are fears the flooding could trigger a humanitarian crisis. zelinski used his nightly address to criticize the slow pace of the international response to the disaster portion of that who below the palm beach facing who dies. that is a verdict on the existing international system and international organizations that have forgotten how to save lives. daughter, there's no this, there is no international organization in the area of this disaster. now, it means that it does not exist. a tool and the system is broken. both the relevant appeals have been said, that's where you as evacuated. sions are underway,

mixed relentless, showing some, refusing to leave the physical residence of have so and have already endured russian occupation before being liberated last november. many have decided to stick out the flood waters as well. they'll have to be careful. the disney pro river forms a de facto front line between russian and ukrainian forces. officials have warned that the surge of water has dislodged land mines planted from the rivers banks, which are also floating in the water along with other debris. and we can now speak to liam collins, who is the director of the modern war institute and joins us from west point virginia. mister collins, welcome to the w. there has been continued showing in her son's flooded areas even as people are being evacuated, as russia attempting to seize this vulnerable moments to retake her son. no,

they don't have any. does that mean that they can't take the cap or hers on? because the, the wireless and the way really all it is, is there's a little military purpose. it's just to impede the managerial efforts in it, in the non government. and he's trying to conduct that manager and assistant to distract ukraine from his war effort in, in finding a war. so it's, there was no military purpose street for russia. as a down breach has caused incredible damage creating a catastrophe within a catastrophe, or really is any side gaining an advantage from the situation militarily? yeah, i mean, 1st i'll say hydraulic warfare or the deliberate flooding during combat is nothing new, right? it goes back hundreds of years, william of orange, intentionally play low line. you're easy to find to get spanish and manners during the 80 years war. chinese bruce, yellow river levies and 9038 to slow down a do you happen to use advance? and in this war, right, remember the 2nd day of the warranty ukrainians? look at the how many you're putting river to help defend against the capital. what really sets this one a part of the order of magnitude, right in many would say it expire exceeds

a balance of military necessity prescribed by international military law is what it seems like. russia has blown the dam to defend, right? the help of defend against this impending ukrainian counter attack. so by making this already difficult obstacle, insurmountable rushing and then reposition tens of thousands of troops from south to hers on to other areas where the crowd in colorado late plus ukraine has to conduct, you know, a lot of effort for the humanitarian assistance. so really, this favors russia significantly. let's talk about this counter offensive that you mention, because there's once again, reports of it having been launched. now ukraine is denying it, and russia is claiming it is beating and back how much strategy is there already in this mixed messaging? to yeah, i mean it's always hard to determine when the counter offensive is actually started because they have a lot of shaping operations go in before you start the actual offensive right up

until this point, right. ukraine maybe conducting deception operations or probing to try to figure out where to conduct the attack, where the lines are weakest. and so i think that's what you're going to see in and, and ross is gonna currently be back anything, whether it's a probing attack or a deception operation. and if you crane is having struggles on its own, it's not gonna admit that it started it. so there's going to be a lot of that until you create it actually, right? we see them successfully breach some of these major obstacles and then get it penetration. and then it's clear that they're into their counter offensive. we have been talking about the counter offensive for months. now. the fact that the west is speculating so much about it. is that putting undue pressure on the ukrainian military? no, i don't think so. i mean, you, ukraine, there are a smaller military. they have to fight at a time and a place that's advantageous to him. they're not going to rush a counter offensive as the ones be, say, just personal artificial time table or, or because they feel pressure right there, the smaller pores, but much more capable. but they've been smart about choosing when and where they

are, they're going to find conductor counter offensive, just like they did in the fall. and so i think that's what you're going to see, right? they had to wait till they are all the supplies, all the arms, the emulation that they needed, stage those things, and then conduct those shaping operations. so there's going to be successful. and then, no doubt, right the, the, what looks like the rations blowing this damn that, that throws, arranging the entire plan as defense and leslie, i'm calling with the modern war institute. thank you so much. thank you. the france now were 4 children and 2 adults of an injured and a knife attack and happened in a park. and the alpine town of and c, police have a rest of the suspect. the syrian national with refugee status, they say the children involved were just toddlers, all age between 22 months and 3 years. 2 of them and one adults are and a life threatening condition to the attack that struck us. people were enjoying the morning in the fine town of an see a man with a knife targeted small children,

inappropriate, including at least one baby. 2 of the injured toddlers were on vacation with the families from britain and the netherlands. 2 adults were also had the attack. i tried to flee the scene. he was followed by a member of the public until the police arrived so much easier to assess us. as soon as i saw what happens, i came here to help the parents of the children who were attacked as to i think it's unbelievable that there were so few security guards here. but apparently the police didn't arrive on the scene right away. so the attacker had a lot of time just that also said there's a door to that, that you for do so you times once twice could show the room and then they start shooting. so often there was shooting right in the front of me and one other person who then fell to the ground. pretty much question. you know, as mine was already heard, is your continued my run and i saw children on the ground, the very side of the injured children. say model is unbelievable, isn't faulty?

she found quite a but the police were so slow really for the to the whole. so slow, because you can start to assist on quite a lot there to columbia via tax and shockwave through french society. lawmakers and the national assembly held them in its silence prime minister elizabeth bo, and visited the scene of the stabbing suspicion. the suspect as a syria national, who has had recognized refugee status in sweden for the past 10 years that he applied for asylum in france, which was pointless meal since he already has official recognition as a refugee to do it. the local public prosecutor set, there was no obvious terrorist motive for the attack. earlier we spoke to a journalist vivian waltz and asked if she had any information on a motive at the moment. it's really and the question whether she has some kind of mental issue there was really for

a little indication about what the motive might be. there was one witness that said that he shouted in the name of jesus christ when he was launching his attack. any kite with him, a christian, probably not quite sure what that means, but effectively a christian prayer book and has the cross around his neck. he gained asylum in sweden as a christian. so in a time, if you remember at the start of the serene world with it was and in the number of people leaving syria for europe and she was mom, one of the waves of refugees. here's a look now and some of the other stories making headlines around the world. to you as president joe biden, m u k prime minister, which do not cause mess for talks and washington, or they announced

a new economic partnership. the atlantic declaration aims to boost industry ties on defense of renewable energy to say they want to combat threats from authoritarian states, disruptive tech and climate change. as new technology. former us president donald trump has asked for a new trial in the civil case where he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming the rider aging carol, she was awarded $5000000.00 in damages. an amount trump lawyer say is excessive an estimate of 45000 revelers packed the streets of televi for the annual prize parade and support of l g. b t q writes is also attended by anti government protesters, and you'll be take your community has reported an increase and homophobic incidence . since benjamin netanyahu, ultraconservative cabinet was assembled in december. european union, interior minister, as have agreed to tighten the blocks asylum policies. the decision comes after what

was seen as a make or break meeting for the block to solve this migration policy conundrum for years is you members have been at odds over how to manage migration with southern countries, demanding more support and solidarity from their eastern and northern neighbors as an hour, corresponding band to the god is covering the negotiations in luxembourg. flora's band minutes ago breaking news in you into your ministers agree on stricter asylum reforms. what do we know at this stage? what did they agree on but after the years of very intense negotiations, the innocence of able to set to a very bitter disputes. among the 27 member states, it's a historic day. it was a difficult decision. that is what intensive phase of the german interior minister just said. and basically the medicines have it read and then you bought

a procedure for migraines. that enabled italy increase the countries of the 1st entry and 3 sides suite most physically and to send the migraines that have no chance to get protection to send them back most 50 to their countries of origin or to their countries of transit. and the countries are also pledging and for more relocation of migrants from greece and literally a to that tar towards. and countries who don't do that and know obliged to pay money. $20000.00 zeros pay and margins, they don't take. if all of this comes into practice, we will see because poland and hungary already declared that they will not carry out the duties. and the object at this during the next phase is because it's not over yet. the counselor has now to negotiate with the european parliament until the end of the year, and then the legislative process will take until next year and only then this whole

new procedure can kick in and it only applies to a small fraction of margins. only those who come from countries, there's an approval rate for mike, for asylum seekers. below 20 percent. can go into this new system and this is only a quarter of people to actually arriving in europe. a lots of caveats and lots to fill. hash out dw, spend, he got, thank you so much. we can now speak to 5. you on the phone call from the social democrats. he's a member of the drum and bonus stock. he signed a paper that says that the new proposal for a reform will weaken the ride for asylum. mister phone, what do you make of today's decision? it's the very 1st the today's decision. so we have to look in detail in the next hour. what that really means, but at 1st it's important that also the interior minister has in europe, found the compromise and we have to look very close at that. of course,

there are some aspects that i would find really critical when we look at this incentives at the boulder where for me it's important that also the human rights are also in place and then we have possibilities for them. my friends still haven't remedy and things like that. so this is quite important and i'm not really sure how this is in the end. really made clear and but we have a compromise and we have to look at to really. ready be in the next i was and then um, think about how it is. it's important that also the interior minister of jim in united states has a statement that for here, human rights, a big part of it. and when we look at child civil rights and they've read it, yes, that's what i mean. you just as a really important decision that we have these in place, how can you just explain because you sign the paper, how well the rights of asylum seekers be weakened if what was in the draft actually then becomes implemented to when we have these like sent us in the border like this for the preliminary assessment,

it's another fully asylum system in place. then we have of course, the code and the good possibilities and the rights and human rights also have to make friends coming. they will be at the end in place and that they have access to the remedy in the end. and i think that was really difficult for me to give centers that we now have a divorce in union, which is really not the case. so if you think currently human rights are not a priority for you leaders, of course i would not say in general that this is not a priority, but when you look at the european borders and human rights violations, and the last yeah, of course you repeat the union has something to do about that, about human rights violations, and have also to make suggestions, how they will do that. why do you think the new one down the past they eventually went went down with stricter regulations for asylum seekers. we know the system in place and european union,

which is not quite fair. when you look at both of us for using of migrants, we see that there's a big, a big part of migraines coming of costs to italy and breeze and the other states in the mediterranean. so to really fall is problems, we need those quotas. and those and distribution making this is that we're also talk about, which i find really good, but they have talked about it and they had tightened also just regulations. but this is really the problem that we have no fab distribution within the european union that we have some states taking many migrants and other states taking on my friends. and i think this is something that's really important to address also and to have them all adjusted within your union. the fact that they're now obligated to pay money if they don't want to take any migrants. and is that not an easy way out of their obligations as you members? a? yeah, this case indeed, which does include this obligation, stinking migrants, but they have of course it's, it's a small steps also within the european union. so i think the compromise that they

found on this part of the migration issue is really something positive to see. but of course i'll be on the road with a 5 pm phone call from the social democrats. as a member of the drum is going to start. thank you so much for your take on this very fresh decision in the world ocean day, which focuses on the importance of our seas and their marine life to human beings. for one day, for dues, around half of the oxygen we break the world's oceans cover more than 70 percent of the planet their home to up to $10000000.00 different marine spaces and provide most of the world's final diversity. not only do the ocean's help feed us, but they also regulate our climate. they capture more carbon than anything else on the planet, and also absorb around 90 percent of the heat generated by rising emissions. but the climate crisis is also warming the oceans, resulting in rising sea levels and threats to marine biodiversity that includes

many of the world's coral reefs. but on a small island off columbia, the blue indigo foundation is trying to turn the tide is developing a unique way of growing small coral fragments under the sea to create new rece. our corresponding nicole rece went to the island to spend under this in the caribbean. new home under construction biologist, maria fit, and then the maya is drilling holes. but one of the most fascinating creatures in the ocean carls. so now they're still small, but they could grow into a new re few in the waters of sun on this island. it is a team effort involving locals, scientists, and dining schools that we know, but i need to do this morning for us. it is really important to focus in the coral restoration and health threes. 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 eco system to be positive, so we need that to you because in fact, the thing, no, no way that was the youngest because these things carlos vital in helping to protect coast lines from erosion and boosting fine diversity. but they are in serious trouble worldwide in columbia alone, 60 percent of them are damaged or under threat of particular concern is stony carl tissue loss disease that started spreading last year. so i'm, i find that they both have to admit this think looks like it kills them in 2 or 3 months or, and a matter of being skeptical. so we are very worried because the disease is already here, the light, the most just tell us the and what are we doing against it to give you a go. we impacted by onyx. it's so much so, so in hydrate now last,

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 that will yet know all from that ceilings an expensive and difficult underwater treatment is available, paid for by donations. but shandey says that it is vital that the government now invests in the program as they do with color restoration, part of colombia and vicious plan to restore $200.00 factors of reese here in san andreas sufficient. and i don't know how to send the biggest also has an interest in that business plan to, to help 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 fish um, but the, the, the, the hoses, protect or beach also 2 decades ago he needed only 2 hours to get enough fish in

one go. now with the reeves degrading it can take up to a day, but the reality gets has hope. now because of the new carls. we put them there for as a, i like in 3 weeks when we went back there, there was growing, i was like surprised. 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 proper reeves and with the pressure on the ecosystem. not all of them might make it. the team on some numbers are aware of that, but every, if it counts just safety ecosystem and the ocean on the doorstep. a german metal band and i'm stein has begun the german leg of its european tour with the series of concerts in munich all after show parties have been cancelled as a band faces accusations of sexual assaults, against leasing, or to lend a money. money fans are still coming out for the shows,
