happens to him -- oh god. >> according to martial law, ukrainians can even get married remotely. but in h case, that is not an option. >> at the moment he is in a very difficult ple. there is no intnet, no pens, not even paper. he can't even wash himself properly. >> she says at some point the war will end and then they will get married properly and she will no longer have to walk alone. >> germany has agreed 10 billion euros in funding for joint project with india in the coming years. this covers clean energy, projects tackling climate change. negotiations in berlin were

overshadowed by india's neutral position on the war in ukraine. >> they were all smiles in berlin as they signed their historic trade agreement. germany has made available 10 billion euros for bilateral cooperation on issues like climate change and the expansion of renewable energy in india. >> in the light of the significance india will have economically and also with regard to its population expansion, it is clear that india is a cleat -- a clear player in the fight for climate protection. this is important for the cooperation that is developing and so i am happy that we have been able to come to these agreements. especiallyhe ones we have just signed. >> the war in ukraine has cast a shadow on europe's ties with india, having significantly increased russian oil imports recently, deli has refused to condemn the invasion.

but modi did call for a cease-fire. >> we believe that at the end of this war, there will be no winners. everyone will suffer losses and that is why we are for peace. >> schultz went much further, saying that russia had violated international law in an unchecked manner but india and germany were on the same page when it came to national sovereignty. >> we agreed that borders cannot be moved by force and that the integrity of nations must be beyond question. we talked about that very carefully and that with each other we can do this -- by enabling economic and common development.

>> these two leaders left of the press conference without taking a single question. >> let's get more on this story. i am joined in the studio here. tell us how significant this visit is. >> they have a special and unique friendship. germany is india's largest trading partner within the eu. the $10 billion commitment that germany made to india for his climate change is for another key area of operation which is a renewable energy. there were no joint statement is to be made and that was the war in ukraine. the prime minister had said he

is in europe at a time when it is facing many challenging decisions but he is not making any criticisms. >> he did stop short of condemning russia for invading ukraine during this trip to germany. what does that tell us about india's approach to its relations with both russia and the west? >> india's stance on the subject has evolved over the last two months. india is now commenting on the violence, it is condemning the violence and it also said it condemns the violation here. russia is an important strategic partner. it provides india with defense equipment and it is an energy partner. europe's reliance on russia for energy is much higher. it is important to look at india's diplomatic history which has evolved over time but of course, there has been a team of

nonalignment. they said that india will not be doing this for the plans of other countries. >> we did see him receive a very warm welcome from here in berlin. how important is that support for him politically? >> there are a one million people of indian origin living in continental europe. the warm welcome he received, children what to him and said all of this adds to his image as a leader internationally but on the other hand, it counters some criticisms he faces back home over the course of this government that have been issues for a violation of minority rights. >> thank you so much for breaking that down.

in a major policy u-turn, germany has dropped his opposition to a ban on russian oil exports. the energy minister has said germany now can withstand such a move after the government significantly reduced german independence on russian oil. this could involve an immediate oil embargo. eu ministers also want to counter threats from russia to cut off energy supplies. teri schultz told me more about what came out of those talks. >> what the eu really wanted was to get all member countries on this same page when it comeso standing up toussia on what the european commission chief calls black male with this cut off from bulgaria and poland and the threat to cut off more countries dependent on russian gas imports.

they are looking to get their contingey plans in order. at means making e supplies of gas as deep as possible in case of a cut off. it means having plans to share with neighbors in case the pipeline gets shut down and that is something germany is doing with poland, sending some gas back to poland after the cut off. it means diversifying suppliers and simply using less fossil fuels. these are plans the eu has had in place for many years. even decades but it has come into starker focus and a more uncomfortable focus that the eu is sending billions of euros to vladimir putin for these energy supplies and this at the same time that he is working so hard to cut off funding for the war in ukraine. >> how do they resolve divisions that eu countries pay for gas in rubles? >> not exactly or at least we don't think so yet. this is something that eu

countries need to be on the same page with. vladimir putin is succeeding and continuing divisions. the european commission says to do that is violating eu sanctions and it seems all other countries agree they will not be paying in rubles but you get this one country saying it is not going to risk its energy supplies by following the eu line. >> we have seen a major policy shift. >> you have hungary and slovakia saying they don't want to follow that line. it is expected that eu ambassadors will begin discussing a draft of sanctions that would include a ban on oil.

it may be that hungary and slakia could be given some kind of exemption. >> thank you so much for that update. israel has condemned russians -- russia's foreign minister controversial comments he made about nazism. sergey lavrov said that hitler's high jewish blood. russia has had it once -- wants to de-naizif -- de-nazify ukraine. >> what kind of nazification can we have if i'm a jew? in there also had jewish origins so it does not mean anything at all. for some time we have heard that the biggest anti-semites were jewish. >> we will go across to the dw

correspondent here. she has an update on the reactions to that in israel. >> they have raised tempers here and there has been a lot of anger in the remarks. the condemnation came from across the political spectrum. the israeli prime minister bennett said that this must stop immediately. they said the statements were unforgivable and a terrible historic era. we also heard from the world how to cause more who said those remarks were absurd, delusional and dangerous.

>> that was tania kramer there with that update. we can look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. wildfires are forcing more people in the u.s. state of new mexico to evacuate their homes. the blaze in the north of the state has this already half as big as new york city. at least eight people have been killed after a three-story building collapsed in nigeria's commercial sector. emergency services fear many others are still trapped inside the apartment block which officials say have been earmarked for demolition. new zealand is welcoming overseas visitors for the first time in more than two years. authorities have dropped most of the remaining border restrictions which are some of the world's strictest. there are emotional scenes after the first arrivals touchdown. -- touched down.

>> loved ones kept apart by the pandemic are finally able to hold each other again. it has been two years in suspension of just wondering if and when and never knowing if the moment was even going to come. we started without knowing if we would ever see each other. question some grandparents are even meeting their grandchildren for the very first time. the list includes the u.s. and much of europe. a relief for many people waiting to reunite in the tourism industry.

over 3 million tourists visited the country each year. they accounted for 5% of the nation's economy. many of them are now allowed back. while other challenges from these countries will have to wait until october. >> after two years of widespread lockdown restrictions, many muslims around the world are finally able to celebrate. in egypt, hundreds crowded around in cairo to attend prayers. this marks the end of the holy month in ramadan. the joy has also been dampened by a rise in food prices caused by the war in ukraine. egypt in particular is feeling the pinch. >> shopping for the celebration, he would love to fill his cart but be prudent. this month alone, the price of potatoes has risen 300%, tomatoes cost nearly four times

as much as they used to. inflation has hit him hard. he is a taxi driver and has to support his family on an income of roughly six euros per day. the kids have special wishes but this year they will go unfulfilled. i just don't have enough money to cover food, rent, electricity , water and gas costs. egypt is also feeling the consequences of the war in ukraine. the country was already heavily in debt. the government had to devalue the egyptian pound in march. we supplies are drying up, no other country in the world imports as much as egypt. and 80% of their wheat comes from russia and ukraine. so far the government has put an upper limit on the price of bread but fear of unrest is growing. there have been situations in egypt's past when bread shortages led to social unrest and even revolutions.

that is one reason the government has been subsidizing bread the last few years. it is still unclear how long this will continue but for now the people of cairo are celebrating the end of ramadan. unfortunately there is no end in sight for the economic difficulties they are facing. >> these two ukrainian journalists have -- the associated press new agency spent 20 days in mariupol under constant bombardment. that is as they risk to their lives to document the war in a city. dispatching photographs like the ones you see here behind me. the freedom of speech award honors outstanding reporting, some of their work has already become defining images of the siege of mariupol. we want to warning to our view is that this upcoming report

includes distressing images and for safety reasons, there were two winners did not want to be interviewed on camera. >> recording the agony of war. witnessing the desperation. two ukrainian journalists arrived in the port city of mariupol one hour before russia's invasion of ukraine. for the next 20 days, they documented russia's bombardment of the city and the harbors it has inflicted. this video journalist has covered many wars for the associated press, including iraq and syria. this photographer seen on the left is also from ukraine's east. when russia -- russian attacks

destroyed the communication infrastructure, people could not even call for an ambulance. doctors begged them to fill families so that the world would know what was happening. many of the bodies had to be buried in mass graves. >> with no pictures of demolished buildings and dying children, the russian forces could do whatever they wanted. if not for us, there would be nothing. i have never felt that breaking the silence was so important. >> the journalist footage of a russian attack on a maternity clinic on march 9 was a turning point. there images of traumatized families being rescued by ukrainian soldiers prompted an international outcry over

russia's disregard for civilian lives. this pregnant woman carried out in a stretcher later died along with her baby. moscow claims the whole thing was staged with actors in the airstrike never took place. they managed to escape mariupol with the help of the ukrainian army. >> we are told that if we were capturedy the russians -- i did not want to exrience firsthand how the russian intelligence service deals with people who were detained. corrects the pair continued to report on the war in ukraine but from elsewhere in the country.

>> russian football teams have been kicked out of the women's european championship and banned from qualifying for the 2020 through boko. the governing body also announced that russian club teams would have been prevented from competing.
