the, the, this is data you use life from berlin, african leaders begin their piece mission to ukraine and russia. but there is no laptop in russian missile strikes on the ukrainian capital with delegates in the city to hotels with a lot of mirrors the landscape. also in the program, greece expands its search for migraines,

missing after an overloaded fishing boat capsized, but its fear, the effort is too light. as some 500 people are presume drowned in what's being called a preventable project. and the special olympics world games opened here in berlin this weekend. we talked to a defending champion from beginning who's come to defend title, bring home gold for his country. the unpopular felt really as welcome to the program. a group of african leaders has been holding talks in the ukrainian capital with the president for a lot of years, a landscape about a possible peace clump. the delegation will travel long to meet russian president vladimir putin in saint petersburg on saturday. delegates say they want to hear from both sides in the war and to ensure ukrainian grain exports keep flowing to

hard pressed african countries. russia launched its latest dry concave as the group arrived in the city. its paying their respects african leaders visit food to the side of a legend atrocities against the ukrainian civilians at the hands of russian soldiers . life is really this up and we must protect the lives printing in black lives, russian lives global lives. that's important to protect providers and focus on the develop. the visiting leaders also inspected, destroyed russian military equipment on display and central keys. a show of support from the south african presidents, serial rama, post the stress, it was not unqualified support. the 1st one is that we're here to listen

to listen both to prison zalinski and tomato would've been listening to prison put to reduce so with deep respect for the people of ukraine, which we have expressed to president zalinski. we're going to also listen to president put in with regards to how he sees that rhodes to piece from a post to also stress, the urgency of keeping green and fertilizer flowing out of ukraine. as african countries struggle with price spikes and food and security in the wake of the russian invasion, the delegations visit was interrupted by repeated rushing airstrikes on the capitol region, causing the landscape to question why the african leaders were headed to saint petersburg on saturday. have more uh, getting this sort of russian strikes attached to the fact that tutoring is not in control of his own army. because they are striking us with missiles now,

assuming other nations have decided to visit the country that initiated the missile strikes today. to me, i'm not quite clear as to how logical this looks, lead them, but they are leaders of free countries. it's their choice. h a, be some us. so lensky has ruled out any peace talks while russian forces are still in ukraine. well, our correspondent, ne conley in chief, has been following those totes. and he told us earlier about the ukranian president's apparent dismay after delegations, determined even handedness. i think that was part of frustration for the host fully mr. lensky. it wasn't unexpected, but they refused to take sides. they were scrupulous in basically trying to keep at least you were taught k, equidistant from both ukraine and russia. there was even some noise from the on the part of volumes as to when the engine compartment is to refer to it as a conflict rather than a war hearing ukraine. i would ultimately like that way. could you hear him kind of

straining to understand the translation not necessary hearing what he wanted to hear in terms of the actual kind of nuts and bolts of what was discussed. they spoke about this having being a frank and honest conversation, which is normally a to preventing you from using full pretty heated disagreement. but there was precious little in the way of detail about where to go from here in the run up to this is it that have been some coverage, some reports of a more concrete suggestion. some integration in terms of confidence, building measures, maybe getting the russians to retreat in pots can be craniums to maybe off quest, some coverage to take sanctions of russia in certain points, maybe get the arrest warrants against side of the preaching withdrawing that kind of stuff. but they wouldn't be drawn on that. i kept pretty tightly upon the on the detail. dw is an economy reporting from cave there. all right, that's take a look now at some other stories making headlines. nato secretary general, yes. stilton burge says, members have agreed to move ukraine closer to the alliance and nato ukraine. cancel

is to be formed with keith as an equal partner. mister stalls and berg was speaking as nato defense ministers and the talks in brussels. so it's kind of daniel ellsberg, the man who leek the pentagon papers has died of cancer, age, and $92.00. ellsberg was a military analyst. when in 1971, he released 5 thousands of documents to the us media that showed successive administrations line to the public about the vietnam war, or so its own by par. joy has battered large areas of india and pakistan. intense winds and heavy rain had largely deserted coastal times with roofs blown off, houses, trees, and electrical poles were uprooted in india's western state of goos. around almost 200000 people were moved out to emergency shelters. greece has expanded the search for survivors of this week. ship racket in the

mediterranean sea. the boat was carrying hundreds of migrants. when it capsized, though most of those on board are missing. many families haven't yet lost hope of finding their loved ones. a life. this isn't how these brothers from syria would have hoped to be reunited in europe, still separated by the gates and the greek of color. mata mohammed on the left is one of the survivors of wednesday's vote. disaster by you know, is a theme of 18. the 18 the on i have the almost the powerless voyage ages 18 after 2 years stuck in libya. my story is not out of the ordinary. it is one of many migrants going to extraordinary things in search of a better life than migrant facility in your athens. is the next step for the survivors . you registered and will apply for asylum. i say, attempt to start

a new life in europe. as greece comes to times, we have one of the was tragedies, its recent history. the estimate of a who's to blame to authorities have arrested 9 survivors or from egypt for the boat. first deposit, they accused of people smuggling greases coast guard says the migrants rejected attempts to help them assisting. they wanted to say it onto easily. the argument is dismissed by critics arguing that they were justified in not providing assistance because the passengers on the boat didn't want it is unjustified. it's not a legal argument. the boat was clearly in distress, is clearly and see where the an overcrowded and the have that it coast guard. and indeed, any, any best or in the area had the paramount obligation to provide assistance

rights groups also say migrant avoid greece because of course, the treatments by the authorities, the so called for a re think of a you refugee policies are growing after this tragedy due to view correspond, the jack park has been following the story from brussels and sent this assessment. there's been a fair amount of heat on the european commission today here in brussels. aust, lots of people asking them exactly what they're doing to try and prevent and coordinate to make sure that we don't see another tragedy. like we've seen off the coast of greece in, in the last few days. now what they've said is that they, they've been holding meetings of the search and rescue calm types group, which is a group of people that really focused on n g o. both ways go out and try and save licensee. and those are private fishermen, ships and other private vessels that are involved in search and rescue when they get the cool to go and save people. what we understand is the that it doesn't

involve the coast god, specifically the greek and italians. there's been also pressure because we know that the from tax, the used bought of god was allotted to the conditions of this boat, but the smugglers wouldn't let them on. and there's been lots of questions by why the boat, a guards on intervening, even though the smugglers on letting them on. now the in years current time has been to try and prevent these kind of boats from leaving the north african shows by engaging north african countries. but we had last week, the changes in present and kind of the site saying he's not willing to become on the use board a god. that is something that the european union needs to do itself. but there are still very divided opinions amongst you countries about exactly what to do. they don't want to do too much of search and rescue because they fear it would encourage people to bold those babies in those north african countries. knowing that they may be saved by your p and coast guard agencies and then brought into the you to see

that are asylum applications processed from, from an e u perspective though there is an understanding that they need to get going again to try. and so they sides because as the mediterranean sea flattens, and as the waters got. com or is expected, that will be many more bodies like this, leaving they show us trying to get those people, those migrants who are looking for a better life, into the football. now and germany suffered a disappointing one, they'll defeat against neighbors, poland, and a friendly match in more so on friday evening, after going behind to a go from yackel, give your with half an hour, played germany, we're unable to find reply. the defeat is the latest in a series of poor results for hans. he flicks teeth with just a year to go until germany host the european championships. pressure is now growing on coach and see. flick dw reporter max merrill was that. that came in the publish

capital and sent us this summary of what he saw for a while, the nights too. so gets for germany and nights to remember suppose into a box. why fantastic funds support here and also. and so the grids determination and cohesion as a unit, all 3 things that germany currently solely lack. now with a year to go before the european championships in their own country, they don't look tournament ready and they can hind as much as they want behind the fact that these are friendly for the testing things out. anything they've tested so far, it just hasn't looked good enough. they crossed out of the group stages. euro 2021 crushed out of the group stage of the post world cup in cuts off. and now it looks likely in this co informed, at least that they will do the same when they host the european championships in 2024. the question really is, how much leeway can you give hands the flick? and from where i'm standing, there was very little counseling for him and

a lot against him. and these performances in the friend leave a massive concern. you don't use macs, maryland. more so there will be 2023 special olympics world games gets underway here in the german capital on saturday with athletes competing in $26.00 for it's over 8 days. do you, do you caught up with one of the events stand out performers to find out more about the games for people with intellectual disabilities? there's nothing abraham, a jello looks forward to like the start of a rice. i'm up, i see all my passion and i love spilt this for some of us. yeah. the 22 year old guinea in sprint is one of hundreds of athletes from around the world here in germany for the 2023 special olympics in berlin. just simple. yes, i'm good. it's wonderful how many law and just magnificent to be why see say money
