the, the, this is the w news live from bill it, ukraine's flood victims come under attack, exposing cit, the city of kind of song as residents flee flooding caused by the destruction of the ukraine says it's expanding relief assets and promises to rebuild everything. also coming on donald trump,

faces criminal charges over the mishandling of classified documents, the 1st federal prosecution of a former president. he rejects the obligations and launches of fundraising drive plus new hope for the tech thing, cancer that's a lot of promises to identify, mold and fit 2 types of concepts before symptoms even appear. we'll hear how it works and how it might change healthcare. the, i'm gonna have those as well come to the program. ukraine has a choose the russian forces of selling areas with rescue efforts. aust, it on the way to help residents escape flooding caused by the collapse of the cock kafka. the the defendant officials say several people were wounded by explosion. same kind of song on size day, including rescue personnel,

the selling force, the suspension of some evacuations. additional say they are expanding relief efforts, despite the ongoing fighting with the focus on delivering drinking water. ukraine's ambassador to the un expressed whose countries and at the attacks we strongly condemn settings, obey recreation areas, in coal, on the russian federation, to seize such effects. and allow the recreation teams to safely help the effect of the civilian population. we also urge the russian federation to grand full safe and the common fee that access to the affected areas of the left bank of the deep river, which are currently under the me under its military control to and those expose as well. so i'm just dollars of to visit by the training president for arguments that in scheme he wasn't the region to assess the ongoing rescue operation. and he

promised to reconstruct everything destroyed in the wake of the collapse of the cut off. cut them was the president of the lot in the years a lensky meets with the emergency services and ukrainian controlled city of half 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. as evacuated,

sions are under way amidst relentless, showing some, refusing to leave the physical residents of half 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 the russian and ukrainian forces. officials have warned that the surge of water has dislodged land mines planted on the river's banks, which are also floating in the water along with other debris. us. earlier i could speak to alexis on to ranko, who is the members of your crime in parliament at austin. whether he agrees with presidents lensky is claims that international aid agencies are not doing enough to help people in the flooded area. yeah,

that whole whole catastrophe happened. and we don't see really this drone reaction of international organizations like russia in the day or rest of the level of policy that reads devolves out heavy russian language today. but we see what is russian language for us. the language, you know, today is the language of distraction, of heating of a catastrophe, planetary scale, that's really good tester, feel defender's care. i'm doing now from desktop and this morning. i so by my own eyes, it's on my computer already video. how the, how just imagine if we are 100 interest on and how it's taken by the black, the, to the sure. so you saw the deliverable, know, and so we correction of, of, uh, international organization. i mean, ukraine a could have anticipated that this is a is a potential target,

could've anticipated the breach. could it has been better prepared for us how you could you, how you can do better prepared for sy slots. i mean, like, it's, 1st of all, it's absolutely craziness to do this. secondly, yeah, with the russians, we understand that they can do anything for how can we prepare for this? not. i mean, what could we do now? you can you brain and control the bottom, the right back of the river. the situation is controlled today. the people are of a few ages they receive how, what, and you also many charities under innovations doing what they can include in my room, the charity venture of the centers. but on the left bank of the river, which is controlled by russian, this situation is get distrusted. they do not make any growth by recreation. they don't help people. and unfortunately we realize that maybe there is a small town called the left you. so maybe it's name soon will be also known in the

world like blue chaise. know maybe does a lot of beacon that we just don't know for the moment it's. are you worried about the risks about the power plant nuclear power plant ends up. what is? yep. what is the situation there? yeah, we are very worried that is one more concern of possible long term consequences of what trash would be willing to help could them. because the, what the problem was there was offer upstream from the down was used to cool rector's was a 3 year nuclear power plant, which is the biggest in europe and the biggest in the world. just imagine. and in general, that is for the 1st time in human history, the nuclear power plant is directly involved in the military activities. we just ask the grades. and so we also addressed the world to help are just drop these

the nuclear manning and to no already take control of there's a reason for the follow up and buying rate. that's the only way for, for us to understand that it is a safe. now, there is an impending, a water supply crisis in the crime in the peninsula. what is ukraine? i'm trying to do that. according to international law, this is jason or q 5 area is their responsibility, all for the aggressor, so we can't do anything great yet. that is go in russian hands from 2014 and they have folder responsibility to organize the life of their so we can't do anything about this. thank you very much like say going to rank up the member of the youth finance problem. thanks mike. mountain is a will study senior fellow atkins college in london and i asked him with

a rush. i may now be using this current situation to try and re take the city across some. so i know that's not what i doing, but what they are doing is impeding the rescue efforts on the kind inside makes it much more difficult for them means they have to spend more time and more result days. thinking about that, and this is time obviously that their officials could be using to think about how to conduct the counter offenses. so it's a distraction. it is designed to slow you try and now is either side, gaining any advantage from the situation that was created by the time breach. uh no, not really. um, i think actually the russians intended it for it to be a smaller breach than it is it's, it's wiped out quite a lot of russian positions, both sides or having to expend part a lot of effort. we've heard from your correspondent will the f, as the credit is happens, make the civilians and the russians that happens re position quite

a lot of that troops cause the bank that they were on the left bank. the southern bank was low and so is greatly affected by the federal. so now russia time stuff beaten back several major offensive in the last days while ukraine is, once again denied, it has already lost its counter offensive. how much strategy is there already in this rather mixed messaging? so my understanding of the situation is that south of zachary's at that is a ukrainian thrust. and we've seen some of that. for example, german leper tags used to. it's one amongst 3, or 4 or 5 different areas where the ukraine's attacking but that, that particular area, which i think you're referring to, is several lines of russian defensive lines. the trenches, mine fails onto time ditches and in those areas that happen. the training was

assaults that haven't been particularly successful, but most of we expect them to be i'm. this is the beginning of a major offensive, and that will be points of which you training bagels, get destroyed, is really to i need to tell the word day into this sort of major activity, se operation and things will unfold over the next week or 2. mike mos in the in london. thank you very much mike. thank you. so the co chair of the nobel peace prize winning human rights group in russian has gone on trial for criticizing the gremlins will on you train or like all of from the rights group. memorial faces, imprisonment if convicted of this credit taking the russian military. it is by this all of says he's determined to keep speaking his mind. dozens of people turned up to the court house to show the support for all like all

of the co founder of the human rights organization. memorial is facing charges alternatively discredit to the army. the able don't stay with the problem. i will defend the right to express myself as i see fit yesterday, and i will defend the constitution and that is my responsibility. my thing with a chest made about there. all of protested against the war and ukraine and was arrested for it. now he's being held accountable for an article he wrote and published in multiple languages. in it, he condemned what he called a bloody born ukraine, unleashed by proteins red gene. he still stands by his words, despite the trial a memorial whose organization was banned and rusher in 20. $21.00 found is in the late 19 eighties. the group investigated political crimes, especially those that took place during this style in era. but now it's not just

about the past, it's also about the present might unusual now. so to pass that only they have not only built an author return, reinstate here. i know our state has already become totally terry. in the gum. we see it, but there is no defense, no freedoms, even though they're guaranteed. and the constitution links me up among those who came to support all of in court with journalist and nobel peace prize laureate dimitry buddha, to of kind of get me, which adjusted for me, want to see what the concerns of wisconsin is coming out in support of what the world refers to as and tie ball, movement, and revise, extremely dangerous. here i thought you does what you and i are possible. any form of protest is vigorously surprised. this was evident again last sunday when supporters of jo, brushing opposition, leda alexi, nevada, and he took to the streets more than 100 people were arrested. the verdict against or like all those is still pending. his trial continues. i think faces several,

he is in prison. timeouts have a look at some of the other stories making headlines. be home during president's c o. mar. castro has arrived in shanghai on a 1st visit to china since a nation established relations with megan. march on to us is the latest nation to break formal ties with taiwan, which china considers its own territory. the chinese government has often billions of dollars in investment to any nation that comes relations with type us an estimate. it is a $150000.00 gravitas of pack the streets of tennessee for the annual pride. parades in support of l. g. be just human rights. it was also attended by anti government, protested the gate community has reported an increase in home, a fully incidents since and it's in yahoo, who's ultraconservative comment was assembled in december.

the us as pledge to send move 5 finds is to help bethel wildfires and kind of a 1000 firefighters from australia and mexico ends you are in union have also joined the efforts to contain the flames. the smoke has sparked air quality warnings across the last part of the u. s. the former us president donald trump is facing charges relating to his handling of classified documents. it's the 1st time the former president has been prosecuted, the federal crimes. trump announced he's been summoned to appear at a federal court in miami on tuesday, while not yet confirmed by the justice department. us medias reporting he faces at least 7 charges investigate. just follow the cash of sensitive government documents at trump's residents in florida in august. for the president says he's innocent and has launched a fundraising appeal for his re election. could do that. he was washington

correspondent, me say, look who's not told us how these charges might affect trump's attempts to return to the white house here in washington. this feels like a departing sort for a new phase of donald trump trying to shape a narrative. and mock, the historic moment is the 1st time that a for president is being indicted for a federal crime which could indeed have serious consequences. this will take months to really play out, but it stacks up the proceedings that happening against him for real. he already has court proceedings waiting for him over the house. money payments, basically hiding the accounting behind them. that would be coming up within the election here. and the big open question right now is whether the trump can be successful in spinning further this narrative where he claims that he is a completely innocent mind that all of this is a witch hunt. and just shortly after the indictment here became public,

he said that this basically was just something designed to manipulate an election that is still one and a half years away. and where he isn't even already nominated as a candidate for the republican. so he's trying to spend this narrative. on the other hand, this may be in the end too much for his support, is a set of republicans still support him, no mass of watts, but that might not be enough if the serious charges and indictments keep mounting ahead of 2024. and there's crucial elections that could see him face off with joe biden. once again, to do that because they say that to some of the reporting from washington. now the interior minister, as of the european union, have agreed on a plan to reform the blocks migration policies. the new rules include fines for countries which refuse to a house asylum seekers. they also speed up the process for rejecting and returning

people to safe countries. the deal has been have, but usually this with must still policy. you will see in parliament the a major step towards reforming use asylum policies. the break through followed 12 hours of negotiations. sweden, which was the block, scroll eating presidency, says the d is a good balance between responsibility and solidarity. today we have taken out his start stepped after many years of negotiations, we have today taken this important step towards the stable and sustainable legislation on migration. under the do you, each you members state will have to accept a certain number of asylum seekers and nations that refuse would instead be required to be of some of the 20000 euros for migrant. it also

requires members days because frankly, obligation process for asylum seekers from countries deemed safe, making it easy and we're done. those whose applications are rejected. current european union will save people must came asylum in the country and was the 1st or i suddenly you countries like at least being increase, which receive the highest number of asylums he goes into. you have long to monitor change for that reason, even though the new deals a good majority support. it leads back and will seen as crucial. so now that you've gone to the root stock negotiations with the european parliament, with the name of wrapping up the legislation before next year, you elections and the blood test is raising hopes of detecting many types of concepts long before symptoms appear. cancer kills around $10000000.00 people worldwide each year and some types of costs to detect until the advance

stages. when treatment options are limited to say the least, a trial of a new type of blood test has now shown promising identifying mutations early. but it's still a way of being widely aware available. being able to detect cancer sooner would make a major difference in our ability to stop them too often the disease is discovered far too late. really, we detect cancer and then the more likely we ought to cure. but simply it's the cheapest smaller. well, it hasn't had tons of spread that we can cut it out to treat it was ready for a trial and brittany and called simplify, looked at whether a blood test called gallery made by us based biotech firm grail is able to detect a range of cancers a diagnosis that's often not simpler, straightforward to make. what simplifies doing is looking at whether we could use

this blood chest to decide who needs investigation, pushing things that are often very, very bad. they like tell me pain or white gloves. the test works by detecting different patterns of molecules or tags associated with different tumors that are found in the blood tex, a specific pattern. and they are ones that are typically only found in kansas. so too much, those only have these abnormalities with these specific tags being present on the dna. and this test is designed to detect those specific amenities in the simplified trial results are quite promising. it evaluated over 5400 patients who had symptoms indicating they might have cancer before being checked using the standard diagnostic exams. the patients gave blood samples for evaluation with the gallery test. in the end, doctors found cancer in $368.00 subjects using conventional testing methods. among

those people, the gallery test correctly predicted cancer 2 out of 3 times. in the majority of the patients that identified as positive for cancer, the blood test even correctly predicted what kind of cancer was involved, where the test was positive, 85 percent of the time it could tell us where the cancer was. and that can be she usually useful and making sure you get the right test 1st time. so that some of the hard this is diag names, counselors like pancreatic cancer. you can make sure you're doing the tests that reveals that straight away rather than patch off the 2 or 3 other investigations. but the test also said 79 patients were positive for cancer. when in reality they didn't have it. what's called a false positive result. false positive test, without an extra to tour in the body of the patients are quite

stressful for the patient, of course. cause there's always uncertainty whether there is and i'm gonna take that too much looking somewhere, but also for the treating physicians and the medical system, etc. it's almost good. so minimizing false positives will be key to rolling out tests like these for wide scale uses a screening measure, much larger study to see how gallery performs as a tool for early detection is already underway in the u. k. as well that the revolt a by derek williams, somebody that'd be assigned to. it has to be in the studio with me right now at very good news. as i understand about pretty complicated, i'll be going to also stop doing any kinds of testing in our regular checkups with the doctor. well, you know, that's, that's kind of the dream, right? i mean, because as we heard the earlier, you can detect cancer, the more chance you have of surviving it as a, as a patient. so. so this test is, is, is it's important i think, to look at,

in this particular study of the parameters that are, that were involved. and this is not, this was not a big population wide screening cost. this was aimed specifically at a patients who were there was a suspicion that they might have cancer. so a large, fairly large proportion actually of them actually ended up having cancer and, and, and the numbers that came out of that were very, very positive. and there was able to detect 2 out of 3 times i was able to make the make the right call. so to say 2 out of 3 times the cancer patients that ended up having cancer were actually directly protected by the test. but that's very different than a big population wide screening where, um, which is the next step. and that's, that's a study that's going on right now with a 140000 people in, in the n h s. and you can, we're going to see how it does in that particular setting. it's now a pretty accurate and according positive a counsel results. but there are downsize. what about the uh, the, the defaults posters with the false false. they're, all of these diagnostics are,

are, as they have to strike a balance between what's called sensitivity and specificity which it and sensitivity is basically how good is the test that detecting a particular condition in this case, in this case, cancer and specificity is, is how accurate is the test if it tells you you have cancer, do you actually have cancer now? so you have to strike a balance as a trade off that happens between those 2 different things. and so you're obviously in every testing situation, in every diagnostic situation, you're gonna have false negative. so you're going to have tests that, that tell the, the patients that they have cancer when that they don't have cancer when they do and then you're gonna have false positives. which say, which is when the patient does have cancer or doesn't have cancer and the test says, but they do now as the false positives are kind of problem matic because there's a whole number of things that happen. if you have a positive test, you're going to have to start having other test on. it's the financial barton and obviously it's difficult for the patients as well. so what's the potential for this

when, where do you see this going? well, i think that the most exciting thing that came out of the simplify study was that it was able to detect wherever the cancer was and 85 percent of the cases where, where it predicted the cancer, which is, which is as mark middleton and lead research that is really huge for physicians because it's trying to, it's not as easy to diagnose where a cancer is as you might think for physicians. and so having a tool that tells them not only well the patient probably has cancer and they probably have cancer here. hm. that's good, that's a pretty big deal. you can say that thank you very much. doug williams, the from dw site or that's it from me and the news themes for now don't go away. the next is global us with a focus on the struggle for transfer equality in pakistan. got office and building

from me, derek, here and the whole new scene. thanks for watching the

a daily struggle for recognition transgender people in pockets. how do they survive in a society that rejects new to basic strength in numbers?

show who they are and fight for their rights? global laws. one small step for a robot vacuum, one giant leap for exploiting the ocean floor. but this time, a research team will study the possible risk 1st. in order to minimize them. we have an opportunity to to get it right before we even start. is this true nature conservation, or only green washing? deep sea greek. and 45 minutes on dw, the journalism wilkerson overcome and divisions registering for the dw global media on

2023 in germany and online the increasingly fragmented world with a growing number of voices digital. the amplified where this clutter can lead. we really need overcoming divisions into vision for tomorrow's journalism. register now and join us for this discussion at the 16th edition of d, w's global media forum. the 2000. and we think that a transgender person isn't like us, but why long can't do how to do better to be, why are we segregating them? and finding only edges of society, town trends, people in pakistan on a fighting for them, right.
