4:11 pm
information. it's the 1st investigation under the use digital services. thousands of farmers from around germany have converged on berlin's brenda book gates to protest against government plans to eliminate tax breaks. the families would no longer receive chronic diesels subsidies and would have to pay taxes for agricultural vehicles. the government says it was to reduce subsidies that are bad for the client. germany says it has signed a historical grievance to deploy troops. in lithuania, it will be the 1st time germany's bonus. the soldiers permanently stationed outside the countries on board. his defense minister, birth to stories that's jeremy, was ready to defend natal territory off to formally sign it. i wrote back with the voltage states the agreement involves the deployment offer on 4800 soldiers to, to a new from 2027 onwards in wants to both to security,
4:12 pm
to counter rushing threats to the region of the russians. invasion of ukraine, 6 days of milestone is that very new project and the very impressive project, i think we signed the roadmap between these mania and germany in regards of our brigade, which will be deployed permanently from 2627 on as a robust t o one we gave to the to defend, he has eastern flag as is absolutely new for germany. absolutely new for the buddhist with the 1st time we do that. it's a huge challenge, but we are really willing to do it. and we are keen on being successful together without while explaining in friends development support. the story is speaking there to all cheaper to correspond to need a honda who is in the 280 and she told us more about this deal as well. both defense ministers, cold today, a historic day. and you kind of underestimate the fact that germany has indeed now
4:13 pm
signed this commitment to permanently station troops here in lithuania, in the next couple of years. so german soldiers and the families they will be living in this way. no. the kids will be going to school here for several years at the time. and this is something wed gemini says it is vital because it wants to essentially help protect the eastern flag of the west and the lines of nato. and this is you have to compare it a bit to what happened during the cold war when british american and french soldiers lived in western germany to help protect what was then the eastern flank of nato. now since the collapse of the soviet union, of course, the eastern flag has moved eastwards the baltic. countries for example, became suffering and of the use of the soviet occupation they want to remain suffering. and there is a very tangible fear here in those small bolted countries that russia might one day attacks them. and so the idea of establishing this permanent lithuania brigade to
4:14 pm
send german soldiers here on a permanent basis is also to help the tough russia from even thinking about attacking those small voltage states. so the 1st couple of soldiers will be arriving here, but the whole brigade itself with all the tags that cetera is going to be fully operational by $27.00. a couple of open questions remain, of course, especially regarding long term financing boards. the story is the defense minister who we just had said that it costs roughly $25.00 to $30000000.00 euros a month to run the brigades at home. so you have to add all the fire and deployment costs, etc. but he says, there's simply no way around it. we've got to do it to deter russia or the nozzle then reporting. you're watching dw, and use it as a reminder of our top story. us defense secretary lloyd austin is in israel as part of his latest diplomatic tour of the middle east. he's been meeting with israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and defense minister. you've got a big trip,
4:15 pm
comes from it. growing colts is relative. go back. it's attacked in guns. that's it from the other. those theme of finale uncle weight coming up a documentary about life in rio de janeiro is biggest sub on how that offers in berlin from me and the names team. thanks for the we want to be the number one for the crypto queen and her entire crime rouge on it, not to the cells one calling and they don't currency then she disappears out. so trace aside natural thriller about the world. most one said woman crypto queen stones descend associates on dw.
