the the, this is dw news live from ballot. ukraine claims advances and it's contra offensive against all to find russian folks. while moscow hits back with a deadly strike on the residential building in florida is events case home also on the program many days off to the destruction of a key that a new crane. finally, communities, more than a 100 kilometers away,

are struggling to deal with a full louse. and it's not just the flooding that has residents. plus, former us president donald trump protest appear in court in miami to face the most serious charges against him. yet, he's accused of holding the top secret documents and then lying about the the former us president donald trump pass a to appear in a court in miami to face serious john just against him is accused of holding secret documents and then lying about his this this small during of the mass of get another attack on ukrainian homes. missiles

hit these apartments in the early hours of tuesday, engulfing the building and surroundings and flane's. dozens of residents were injured, others killed. many we're trapped in the wreckage. when we got out from under the rubble, the 1st thing i saw for people who came out naked with children from neighboring houses where there was also destruction. people were bringing slippers, bathrobes, water blankets for the children, asking how can we help him to come to us? that's the kind of people we have. several other buildings increa very. we also had a far as he's described as a massive miss style attack on president, followed him easily, excuse home, city as resident survey, the damage elsewhere ukrainian troops claimed to be pushing back rushes, occupying forces. keep seas it's counter offensive,

has re cap, should villages in the midst ends up a range of regions which russia illegally enix last year. troops say this 1st, which was filmed in the town of storage event in done, its rushes, military claims to have repelled ukraine's attempts to advance in the area of the us. we are just the bottom is our fears, but our movement is under way and that is crushing out of one of the enemy's losses are exactly what we need. and also the weather these days is on february bill and that's the race complicates our tasks. never the less the strength of our soldiers yields to results and the i'm grateful to each and everyone who is currently encumbered to everyone who supports over at the time by brigades, in the respective ways you provide the need for the just keeps claims, have yet to be independently verified as russian attacks on their homes continue

reports of ukrainian progress to on the battlefield, a wealth from signs of a lease violent future. and apologies for the wrong introduction to this report, they report about the case against donald trump is coming a bit later in the show. and we stand ukraine, which is reporting and true incremental gains by its contra offensive. and i, aust, marine, i'm here on an honorary research fellow at kings college london. how substantial these gains all too well given the fact that the income for france has begun and the about a week ago, it's too early to say. so far we have seen some mixed results. the russian side has claimed that they managed to push back the premium troops. the cranium cruise claim that they have taken a few months that i think the most success has happened in the last creation. and in some settlement since operation, however, it is too early to judge. we shouldn't be overestimating the setbacks and we

shouldn't be overestimating the games made so far. now these reports are coming from different areas of, of ukraine. the next step is that bodies. yeah. about mood without a single area of focus. can you tell us more of what might be the strategy behind it? well, the idea here is to keep the russians guessing because the russians happened preparing for this conference for quite a while now. and so the ukrainians have 2 maintains initiative of surprise, which is very difficult. one of the comprehensive has been announced in the media for so many models now and possible directions have been discussed. so the idea is to see where is the russian defenses are at their weakest and twos trying at different points in order to disorient the russians so that they don't know where as a means trying will be taking place. and this is why we're seeing activities across

the russian border in belgium, with region we're seeing also some movements around me. where is the rush you bring in forces claim to have pushed back the russian forces on the flanks. so what we're seeing in the south region attacks, and we're also seeing obviously separation which might be the main force of the forces. so this is the strategy of solve the cuts. and now the russians have had months to dig in for the ukrainian offensive and apparently also successful, at least, and possibly hear about destroyed tanks that like the john and left the tags. how strong is the defense as well? some restaurant officials have described it as one of the most complex defense system seen so far. and russians have apparently good engineering skills when it comes to building defences. so those actual on defenses they have built quite

complex and they have time since november of 2022. when they started preparing the defenses and they consist of the front layer. so they have mine fields and they have uh, fox holes. um they have trenches they, they also have the full driver and keys to prevent the tanks from getting through, gets a pass all the other layers. and um, then they also have our tillery in the back and obviously air surveillance in the warranty to see where the premiums are coming from, making it very difficult for the ukrainians to get through all the layers of these defenses without getting stock, which makes it very challenging for the ukrainian side, especially because the li, black air power capabilities that was marina. they're all in the military on the list of teams college and love to know the destruction of the nova cohort. got them . and ukraine is close to via flooding, along with the pro river and areas near the black sea. the region is home to some of the country's most fertile agriculture land. many phones on the threat now from

the flooding. the w correspondence on their funding ca send us this report from the village in the region of michel on the village of bob little money and discussed in southeastern ukraine. it was bombarded heavily solstio by occupying russian forces, leaving mines and explosives everywhere. you know, southern flooding has severe bubble supplies and cutoff entire areas, the destruction of the gulf of them has affected police is much further away. sure . in the we can live region a meter agricultural area. walton levels and who lets river have risen dramatically . and that has a major impact on farms here. there's only one way to get around the village. a lot. that was awesome. the, the water smells chemical. it's really bad and it could be did fish and dogs here

the fields were fertilized and not everything's in the water level. the russians didn't get us, but the flood stood to those getting to the appropriate events. father by dean says many people didn't believe they would be impacted because the deb break occurred maybe a 130 kilometers away. but no one was preparing. this isn't the only home and farm to be supplement. ratio hands which are single, did most of the beans, $200.00 take the fields, have disappeared. his body, sunflower, and wheat. out this somewhere, the polluted in charlottesville has transformed the landscape. the loss of his crops isn't his only worthy measure. but we hop in pharma as we know what it is to lose everything and start again. i tell you the ground will be contaminated because of a lot of chemicals. nice. the value of machine oil will have a different kind of tragedy. you might them and design from something that does

it's a major concern for small. it's almost like monday of wave would be now as we speak at the top, we know how much work was involved with that implanted this with our own hands. it's old guns and one moment the former teacher mainly grows vegetables, own family. she and the husband own make. see the southern floods probably meant many fall most couldn't get the machinery and farm chemicals to dry ground in time civil procedure for the skin. for just when you get into water, there must be chemicals in there that could affect the eat meat to the ground with the useful water. maybe so you put them, i think is what i'm saying. and so this water was into the ground. i mean, for an officer that it will be impossible to use this. we also is not just to drink to but even to more shall close night. it will be a disaster with to the dumpster says the plague just contamination has a lot of local authorities. this unit was set up in april last year to monitor the impact of the war on the environment. now the floods of the focus

quarter because of this, that the insured, it's a nightmare. yeah ma'am. and this is all over when the water receives and the long term, the situation will get worse, you remove the effects and there are places with symmetry so flooded on pets, temperatures as well. no one can really say for sure what the consequences could be . this causes that us, it capital costs and creates a part of life here. like so many settlements near the front line. bob blue monday and if god has suffered waves of tragedy and sufficed. that's a bringing doctor stuff on some common tell by the liza, profess, of cultural economy. andrew development at the university off of gushing and professor, how would you describe the consequences for ukraine's agricultural economy from the russian in invasion and the resulting will on the whole the russian invasion,

of course, has had a catastrophic effect on, on ukraine's cultural economy. and then a few years ago, they were producing over 18000000 tons of weaken grain. and this year that range maybe come in somewhere around 50. so there's a lot of missing. recent down destruction is in the short run, a terrible thing for people in the area and just we just heard it's, it's spreading out in the longer term, the environmental consequences and effects on one production are, are also going to be doing what they can you elaborate to them that how much was actually could be a good cause of christ's become following the destruction of the cut off cut them. i don't think the damage is going to have a huge impact on prizes in the short run. we're in a lucky situation. so to speak, although it's kind of difficult to speak of luck in this situation. but in the rest of the world, at the moment,

the folks from production are quite good. north america, europe, russia, for that matter, you mean your brain is going to be producing a bit more of this year. i think people were expecting a few months ago, although this recent destruction, of course, does have an impact. if we look at the global situation, luckily you, what's missing from your printing is being picked up somewhere else. um, so the prices have increased since the damage destroyed a little bit, but they're not going through the roof and i don't think they will unless, and this is the big issue unless we start to get an ad production news from somewhere else in the world. we know that the dryness here in western europe is becoming an issue in some areas. and it could be that in a few weeks we look a bit differently about. so it's always a question. what else is happening elsewhere in the world? and luckily, at the moment, other places are sort of picking up some of the slack the ukraine is missing due to rushes depression. so now if we're looking at major food impulses around the, well, that actually suffer from the war in ukraine,

what countries all day and why as old as a variety of countries. and the 1st thing that comes to mind is sort of northern africa and eastern average are countries such as egypt, for example, that are dependent, heavily dependent on random sports that are also relatively close to the black sea region. so it's, it's logical that they tend to get supplied by the black sea, russia, and ukraine. those are the countries that are certainly hurt the most, for the most part because they've received assistance and so on. i think they've been able to make the purchases of a need, but the purposes have been much more expensive than they would have been without the war. and without the current. uh, without the current situation. we used to have green prices somewhere between maybe a $150.00 and $200.00 the time before. um, the russian invasion. they were already i because of corona, but they were lower than they are now. since the invasion, nearly paid up at around $400.00 and they've come down now, we're still at $240.00 roughly today when i look in and that means that substantial

burden on countries that have to uh, to have to purchase, bring on world markets. it's a substantial burden for the, you know, for the world phone program and organizations that provide sort assistance because they have to buy it more expensive prices as well. and a lot of the countries that are affected are countries that are already in dire straits because of the impact of corona, because they've only spent a lot of money in there. and they're heavily indebted and they're even less equipped than usual to a higher phone bill. and that must be a good counselor to call on a stuff on the phone. come on top of it. joining us from the university of good thing and thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us here on dw. thank you know, some of the other news making headlines today to the center of the city. busy nothing i'm in central. england was locked down by police on tuesday after 3 people were found dead and apparently related incident further, 3 people were injured when yvonne tried to run them over,

the driver of the van was arrested on suspicion of money to follow as far as a northern germany on the injury to village is forcing that evacuation defiance in the region of mixing book west west and palmer idea have spread across dozens of actors. all former military training runs 500 bond abandoned amunition, left in the ground. explosives have been hurt throughout the area. bulgaria have declared the state of emergency of the torrential rains of the north west of the country. roads were destroyed and houses, schools and official buildings flooded large ponds of the affected areas where without pock there were no immediate reports of casualties. so it is the 2nd time and 10 days that floods have struck the region. the full people have died and rough seas on india's west coast as the 1st cycle of the season approaches. sites

on a bypass all his full costs to hit the indian state of georgia that, along with practiced on southern since pro spots those dates, wind speeds approach and 180 kilometers. you're watching the, the new still to come mocking 10 years as a cape pump. phenomenon for then bts is still breaking records and hauls around the 1st of us with the former president. trump has had several of brushes with the law over the years, but the charges he will face in miami court house today of the most serious. yes, he is accused of illegally taking top secret golf government documents to his home in florida. then, obstructing investigate is trying to recover the it is on clear if the case will be re and his combined to become president again next year. but if convicted, he could phase years in prison, back in florida state that his home soil for donald trump and the place where on

tuesday afternoon, he will appear before a miami towards the 1st boma us presidents to face federal criminal charges ready for trump survival at his doors engulf results. a small group of supporters all giving up for another extraordinary chapter in the life of donald trump. i don't, i don't, i don't understand and we're here to barbara to while we're losing our values. i think he's the indicted on the all the wrong reasons. he basically gave up the paper work. they call him dep logged on for a reason to the man who wants to win back the white house in 20. 24 is the public can pick the stakes, the high. he's facing dozens of charges for holding classified documents as his

monologue at home in florida, if convicted, he could face, he is in prison. and as is typical of the twice in page full of the presidents and the days since being indicted, he's been turning up the heat. the documents, all thing is a, which are, it's a disgrace should never happen, it's hurting our country. joe biden has 1850 boxes of documents. he's got documented china down, he's got documents and then he doesn't want anybody to get them. it's a disgrace. what's happening? the tension is already building in miami, ahead of trump's moment before a federal judge. tens of thousands of expect it to descend on the city with security being based up around the court house in preparation. we obviously believe in the constitution and believe that people should have the right to

express themselves. we encourage people to be peaceful and in them demonstrating how they're, how they feel. and we're going to have the adequate forces necessary to ensure that this is now one charted vote for donald trump, the united states. and what comes next could further divide the country and set the path lines ahead of next year's presidential election. and the earlier i spoke with d, w 's us on the list within blue cross dent austin, how strong the persecutions case against donald trump actually is as well as clearly strong enough. the government's things to have bras, diamond 1st place, the although us this was like to talk about how no one is above the law in the united states. the justice department has a history of spreading very carefully when it comes to political figures. people who have political influence the united states, because from their perspective,

they don't want to be seen as influencing politics or meddling in political or partisan affairs. the justice department wants to tear that beautiful, non partisan, and that is on the following the law. so to read this to die recharged against donald trump, former president and potential future president clearly shows that the government, they thought is a very strong and very necessary case. great again. c donald come bill bar. donald's comes former attorney general, who has some fall out of favor with donald trump. pulls box news recently that his opinion is damning and very thorough. what the government has against donald trump, that he might have fallen out of favor with donald trump, but he's, of course, no span of the brand necessarily drove by the democrats. he doesn't necessarily have a partisan, you know, asked ryan here for him to make that assessment. that alone stand just so what the government might be coming for down from now, how does this indictment affect drums,

popularity and his chances to become president again, next year as this is the question, a lot of people are asking, of course we heard of that before test one done that, do anything, it doesn't seem to not natalie, not stick to donald trump, but also always help back. the more controversy on all news is good news. bad news is good news. it's use for donald trump, you know, in previous or ongoing legal issues, legal problems of the l square. for example, in new york, he's actually been able to use it for raising money for his campaign and raise money for his candidacy. florida, of course, the place that he knows well that he's popular during that one unless you see one state of florida. of course a jury from florida. it will be people from florida listening to this case. and that could very much impact his popularity. but again, just because he's popular among republicans both additionally and among republican voters, doesn't need that. the rest of the country to country as a whole will take just very kindly to have a potentially convicted president or candidate running for us. even if found guilty,

trump can still run for president from a legal point of view. what if, once convicted, he wins the election? well, we also heard of that before just now. i just started territory for the united states and we really are and one sided territory because legally speaking, there was nothing that bars of someone on file or even convicted sitting given the radically sitting in bridges to run and winning the presidency. but that, of course, have reason all kinds of, of just audio video questions and on answers for about what does that mean? what does that look like? of course, we're a very, very, very far away from that. this file is fully just now getting underway and files in the us tend to go a very long time. there are always lays the appeals process, the so we shouldn't be jumping any conclusions, but it's a very uncertain and state. he's just wasted. the us political theme is looking at right now of, of potentially to dictate spelling, a running for president,

even winning that. what does that look like? that is something that constitutional scholars in the us are debating, quite as dear, personally, as we speak. a dozen is william blue cross das. thank you very much. william. south korean is putting on a big show to celebrate cape pump, super group b t s. the boy band was found it's 10 years ago today. and facilities include file box and even a special postage stamp to mark the occasion. bts county on a break most some members fulfilled the military duties, but that army of funds is very my child. enforce souls, landmarks live purple. to celebrate the decade of south korea's most successful musical act. the b t. s is more than just a boy band. its role in driving the explosion of global interest in korean culture has made it a source of national pride. cartoon that, i mean you don't,
