the, the, the, the, the we news line from berlin renewed funding breaks out and southern ukraine. keep a ques, a small scale of showing curse on where people are being evacuated from flooding caused by the destruction of the cost cut down. also coming in, you ministers back plants to type in groups, policies on asylum seekers. but is this the breakthrough deal? many have been hoping for the 9th attack in a french town leave 6 people injured,

4 of them, young children, the suspect a syrian refugee was arrested at the state and a desperate bid to save dying, wreaks divers, health plan coral, and inject antibiotics to find the disease, we look at brief rescue efforts in columbia on world ocean day, the early shower, viewers on p b. s in the united states and all around the world. welcome ukraine is accusing russian forces of showing in the 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 cough got down. earlier this week, several people are reported to have been injured during airstrikes and the 1st one region is selling force a suspension of some rescue work. moscow meanwhile,

says it's forces have fallen off. are you creating an offensive on another part of the front line? when you're creating president willow, theresa lensky visited areas hit by the flooding. he criticized international age groups for not doing enough and called for a clear and quick global response to the flooding of thousands are evacuated, some are choosing to remain with it. so was the president of the lot in the years, a lensky meets with the emergency services and ukrainian controlled city of half so on to assess the damage. 2 days after the destruction of the dam on the didn't the pro river sent torrance of water down stream, flooding towns and villages. the number of casualties remains unclear, but local hospitals are filling up the lensky st. medics, and talked with patients during his visit. how are the doctors?

he asked. good replied the patients seem a little star struck to see their president when we listened to its 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 of the portion of 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. it means that it would, if there is no international organization in the area, if this disaster now, it means that it does not exist. a tool and the system is broken. bold, the relevant appeals have been said that whole window. yeah. as evacuated, sions are underway. midst relentless, showing some,

refusing to leave the residence of headstone 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 the russian and ukrainian forces. officials have warned that the surge of water has dislodged land mines planted on the rivers banks, which are also floating in the water along with other debris. sam collins is the director of the modern war institute at west point. i asked him if russia is attempting to use this vulnerable moment to retake her son? no, they don't have any of that. i mean, they can't take the cat or hers on because the wireless in the way really all it is, is there's a little military purpose. it's just you and p d as you manage hearing efforts and in the non government. and he's trying to

conduct the manager and assistant to distract ukraine permits wherever in, in finding a war. so it's, there is no military purpose. 3 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 off, a hydraulic work 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 banners during the 80 years war. chinese breeze yellow river levies in 1938 to slow down a gap and use advance. and as we're ready to remember the 2nd day of the warranty ukrainians look at the how many you're putting river to tell, defending against the capital. what really set says when a part of the order of magnitude, right in many would say it expire exceeds the bounds of military necessity prescribed by international military law is what it seems like. russia has blown the dam to defend it, right? to help defend against this impending you creating 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. whether you crampton, counter late plus, your brain 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? yeah, i mean it's always hard to determine when the counter offensive it 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. and

ross is going to clean the 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 going to 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 the 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, they're a smaller military, they have to fight it at a time and a place that's advantageous to him. they're not going to rush the counter offensive as the ones the say, just personal artificial time table or, or because they feel pressure, right? there is a smaller force but much more capable, but they've been smart about choosing when and where they are. they're going to fight and conduct their 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 had all the supplies, all the arms, the munition 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 russians blow understand that that throws arranging the entire plan as defense. that unless liam collins with the modern war associated, thank you so much. i, i think it's your opinion, interior minister as have agreed to tighten the blocks asylum policies. the decision comes after what was seen as a make or break meeting from the block to solve this migration policy conundrum. for years you members have been at odds over how to manage migration, southern countries demanding more support and solidarity from the eastern and northern neighbors. all earlier i spoke to our horse bonnet band to the guy who was in luxembourg, and i asked him what the interior ministers actually agreed on. no, but after 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 the next 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 in greece. the countries of the 1st entry and 3 sides suite most swiftly into send migrants that have no chance to get protection to sent 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 a migrants from greece and literally a to that, to our tours and countries who don't do that. uh, no 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 rotate until next year and only then this whole new procedure can kick in and it only applies to a small freight. sion of margins only those who come from countries is 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 actually arriving in europe. well, after speaking to band in luxembourg, we got a 1st reaction from fabi on a phone call from the social democrats. he is a member of the german bonus time and i asked him what he made of today's decision . it's the 1st the today's decision. so we have to look in detail and who makes our . busy what that really means, but at 1st it's important that the 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 want to 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 that we have possibilities for them. my friends still haven't a good remedy and things like that. so this is quite important and that's not really useful 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, it really clear that such, i mean you, this is a really important decision that we have these in place. uh huh. can you just explain because you sign the paper, how will the rights of asylum seekers be weakened if what was in the draft actually then becomes implemented? when we have these like send us an a border like this for the preliminary assessment. it's another fully asylum system in place. then we have of course of

the codes and the good possibilities and the rights in human rights. also off the, my friends coming there will be in the end in place and that they have access to legal remedies in the end. and i think that was really difficult for me to give centers that we now have a divorce. and we'll see europe in union, which is really not the case. so do 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 few of costs 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 now have a system in place and european union, which is not quite fair. when you look about the distribution 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 falls problems, we need those quotas and those and distribution making this instead, 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 stab 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 is really important to address also and to have them all adjusted within your union. and 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 a members? yeah, this case indeed, which does include this obligation, stinking migrants. but of course it's, it's the 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 fabulous phone call from the social democrats as a member of the germans understand. thank you so much for your take on this very fresh decision. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. you as presidential vitamin u. k prime minister really so now cause met for talks and washington where they announced a new economic partnership. the atlantic declaration aims to boost industry ties on defense and renewable energy to sign. they want to come back threats from authoritarian states, disruptive tech and climate change technologies provided credit. former us president donald trump has asked for a new trial in the civil case where he was found liable for is actually abusing and defending the writer aging carol. she was awarded $5000000.00 in damages, and amount trump's lawyers say is excessive. an estimate of $45000.00 revelers packed the streets of televi for the annual prize parade and

support of l. g. b t q writes. it was also attended by anti government protesters. bills you'll be taking community has reported an increasing homophobic incidents since benjamin netanyahu has ultra conservative cabinet. was assembled back in december for children and 2 adults have been injured and a knife attack and a small town and the french outs police the police have arrested the suspect. the syrian man with refugee status in sweden. the children involved were just toddlers, all age between 22 months and 3 years. 2 of them and one adults are in a life threatening condition to the attack struck us. people were enjoying the morning in the outside town and 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 heard. the attack i

tried to flee the scene. he was followed by a member of the public until the police arrived. um, what do you think your services? as soon as i saw what happens, i came here to help the parents of the children who retired as to him, i think it's unbelievable that there were so few security guards here to specials from all. apparently the police didn't arrive on the scene right away, so the attacker had a lot of time on the cell and he said there's a georgia tech you for do so you times once twice the children and then they start shooting. so it often there was tutoring right in front of me and one other person who then fell to the ground. yeah, definitely much question. you know, as mine was already heard, is you're going to new my run and i saw children on the ground. very side talk there is of interest to having to model is unbelievable. isn't for to see it's not quite up, but the police were so slow really, if i'm only available, so slow because you can start to assist on quite a lot there to columbia via tax and struck ways through french society. lawmakers

and the national assembly held a minute silence prime minister elizabeth ball and visited the scene of the stabbing suspicion assessed effect 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 now, 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. so it's world ocean day, which focuses on the importance of our season, their marine life to human beings. for one they produce around half of the oxygen we breathe. the world's oceans cover more than 70 percent of the planet are home to up to 10000000 different marine spaces and provide most of the world's final diversity. not only to 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 and rising sea levels and threats to marine by diversity that includes many of the world's core or race. but on the small island of 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 roofs. our correspondents, nicole reese, went to the island of some of the rest and 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 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 bandages moving

for us, it is really important to focus on 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 to you because through pack those thing, no, no way that was used because these things carl's vital and helping to protect the coast lines from erosion and boosting fine 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 3 both at the existing 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 it? we impact antibiotics. it's so much so. so in hydrate, what do you need to bite in the us and use the help of governments or foundations to know a, by whole way. and that will yet know all from that see on is an expensive and difficult underwater treatment is available, paid for by donations. but chad, he says that it is vital that the government now invests in the program as they do with colorado restoration, part of colombia, some business planned to restore $200.00 heck to us of reese here in sun. and that is sufficient. and i don't know how to send the biggest also has an interest in that business plan. the key to helps transplant carl's into the reef, just opposite the small beach restaurant that he runs. that is part of me. and that is what going to help us get some fish and protect the, the, the hoses,

protect, or beach. also. 2 decades ago, he needed only 2 hours to get enough fish and one go. now with the reefs degrading, it can take up to a day. but the rodriguez has hope now because of the new carls. we put them there for us today. i like in 3 weeks when we went about 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 trouble 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. and for more i'm joined now by dr. lisa boss domain are some she's the senior research associate at lancaster environment center. and we just saw in our report,

one example of the efforts being made to save our oceans, to what extent can re growing coral reefs counter the effects of climate change in our oceans. so yeah, so this has been the topic of my research for the past 2 years looking at how successful some of these restoration methods have been. and what that research is. so showing is that we are getting very good at growing carl's and at relatively small scale. so most products are less than the heck, chair and, and most that quite a lot smaller than the heck there. and we know how to grow close really well at those small scales and, and the research is suggesting that those reeves are in some instances similar to undisturbed or natural reason. so we know we know how to do that smaller scale. but the challenge is now, how are we going to scale that up and currently not many methods exist that are ready to put into what are the can be scaled up and efficiently onto a much larger scale. and, and sorry, if we don't manage to scale this,

the figures are that most corals will be as an extinct by the end of the century. is there a reason to hope? yes, i think that there's always reason to hope. i think simmons have amazing capacity for change, but we have to bear in mind that restoration is not a, it's not a, it's one tool and a big toolbox of things that we have to address and the most important to louis. we have to mitigate climate change and none of these methods are meaningful without real action on climate change. and in your opinion, at this point, which are the most meaningful efforts being made to protect the oceans. and i think it, like i mentioned, i think it's, it's not the right am at focus to have it to find a single solution because i don't think that that is realistic. i think what we have to do is we have to have a tool box of, of tools that we look at to protect the oceans. and we have to do them all at once because that's we were in a climate emergency. so that's what we have to do. we have to have it. we have to

have a meaningful action on climate change. we have to have and re protected areas to protect from fishing. we have to invest in restoration and we have to deploy all of these methods at once. how important our days, like today, like world ocean day to, to full some focus on the importance of the oceans in our lives and, and to mitigate the effect of climate change. yeah, i think it can be incredibly important because um it brings it to the forefront to it opens up the issue to people. you know, we're in a, we're in a financial crisis. people have a lot of things to worry about and, and maybe sometimes the flight divisions isn't at the top of the mind them, that's your marine biologist. and so i think based like this can be really important to, to alert people to this crisis that's, that's gonna affect us all. if we don't do anything about it, the most important people to alert of this crisis our world leaders are in there. so the you in high sees treaty was seen as a major breakthrough when,

when it was agreed on, it was finally adopted a few months ago. how important milestone was this and is it for the way for it it's it's incredibly important and them, and you know, it's been decades in the works of getting this together and it addresses the high seas, which are the part of the seats that are not part of national orders and they've kind of been like an out of sight i didn't mind area before. and so this for the 1st time, and that wasn't the legal framework for protecting the ocean and, and the, and the target of trying to protect 30 percent of the oceans by 2030. and, and also looking at sharing the benefits that we get from the oceans. and the, and the resources that we can expect from the oceans and, and most importantly, maybe of all looking at having funding to actually reinforce these things. so it's incredibly important and a major milestone and an achievement. as dr. lisa foster liner some of the lancaster environments that are thank you so much. thank you. of some

tennis now and reigning champion egos to on to it has advanced to the french open file. after being beatrice had died. maya the world number one full dominated, the 1st sense in her usual style, winning 6 to brazilian had on my i gave her a tough battle and we seconds that however, but see on tech kept her cool and ended up for bailing for 7 to 6 on sunday, she'll be gunning for her 3rd french open title in 4 years. and there was a shock upset in the early or 70 file match and needed to caroline and whichever has beaten world number 2, or even us of a link i and $0.03 to find dealing with leg cramps and which of the engineer to stare and come back saving a match point and winning the least 5 games against the billing rules in the 26 year old sec will play her 1st ever grand slam final on sunday. before we go, let's take a look at madrid's newest art critic the artificially intelligent critical. ok,
