flight russia. and indonesia gets ready to elect a new president. 3 major candidates are in the race with polls predict a wind or proposal. sylvia and to who is backed by indonesia is correct. press the hello and terry martin. thanks for joining us. us present, joe biden has urged israel to protect the palestinian civilians in his plan. ground defensive of the guys and city of rough up by the we met with jordan's king of bill on monday. the white house, their 1st face to face meeting since israel's more become us began by and said the to discuss the possible 6 week break in the finding jordan has been pushing for a permanent so as far, washington is the king's 1st stop on a tour that includes candidate france in germany. so here is part of what biden's

had to say in a joint news conference partly focused on israel's expected move on wrap. the major military operation, robert robert, should not proceed without a credible plan, a credible plan for ensuring the safety and support more than 1000000 people shoulder. and let's bring it out. jerusalem correspond to rebecca rivers here. rebecca, the us is israel's most important now i, it's one of several countries urging is real to think twice about launching an inch and a sofa. rafa, how are these words of caution going down in israel as well? sorry, this isn't the 1st time that you as president has said this, he reiterated the comments that he made a few days ago. and it really depends when it comes to reaction on who you're talking to, or who you're talking about. the benjamin netanyahu and his phone rights coalition members don't take criticism against this operation very well. they many in the

fall, right? you know, hit back against a president bite. and when he criticizes the emission, and when he's talking about the general populace within israel, let's not forget the, the, the boys rouse who in gauze that is does have pretty strong a broad spectrum support here in israel. so when you talk to his relatives and you talk to him about criticism warrenton, that international condemnation, most of them say, well, what do you expect? we have the right to defend ourselves. and that is really the main feeling across the country. of course, there are some other voices who say that you know, these, these uh, that criticism from the international community in particular thing will be taken seriously by benjamin netanyahu, even though publicly he might, you know, he might contend these comments or he might, you know, hit back the us president, but in the end, i think it's unlikely he needs the us and he needs to try to avoid further international condemnation. so it is likely that any, you know,

ground operation in russell, it will be taken as he has said, that he will, they will be looking to, to try to evacuate the civilians living there. and i think, you know, it's unlikely that an operation will begin without at least some attempt to do that . you say they might evacuate the civilian population. we're talking about over a 1000000 palestinians who have been compressed into this town of rough. uh oh is where would they go? rebecca? this is real. have a plan to, to evacuate them to a particular place a little that really is. 2 a major question being off to being off by the international community in particular and by 8 organization saying that there is just so few places left for people to be able to go out. benjamin netanyahu, his has ordered these ready minute trades to come up with a plan, so saw nothing has been made publicly available as to where they see those

palestinians being able to go. there's very few options, as i mentioned, and much of the center and the north of this trip has been destroyed, is few places that people could potentially go back to there. and they are literally running out of space in the southern part of the strip. so it remains to be seen just what kind of plan the, the they is ready military will come up with a that is something that benjamin netanyahu has said is, is underway and is being looked at, but no details yet on that day. meanwhile, talks are still going on uh, trying to broker a ceasefire and a release of those hostages being held by how miles. how was that affecting? how was the talk of assault on rob affecting those negotiations? rebecca, as well, quite severely. terry, we've had, you know, i'm most certainly saying that if there's a ground operation, then we are all out. we're not going to negotiate any any longer. and we've,

we've had the life of egypt saying that if there's a ground operation without the evacuation of those civilians that they are looking at potentially wrapping up the pace agreement. they have with israel. now that would have huge ramifications in the region and not just within israel, but, but a much wider around the vacation. so, you know, some really strong woods coming there. and of course, affecting these negotiations. that is something that is ready, population looking at, they really, really want negotiations. i really want to say at least in limited cease fire, or majority certainly want to say a limited se scott, in a, in, in order to be able to have those remaining hostages return safely. but these negotiations are ongoing despite the threats of this ground operation of these really military a, sending a delegation to, to, to egypt today, egypt cuts out applying a huge role to us, also playing a part in those negotiations. they continue, they have, we saw some, some,

you know, hope last week people really sort of giving positive words coming out of those negotiations. we've saying that folds are a little bit, but they continue. and the hope is certainly from all sides of the old people involved in those negotiations that some kind of deal could be met. if these ground operation goes ahead. however, that looks less and less likely. rebecca, thank you very much. that was our correspond to rebecca rivers in jerusalem before months into israel's war on the mos prime minister designate benjamin duff now who was struggling with sinking popularity. his pledge to crush that is unless militant organization which is believed to be still holding about a 100 hostages. and while most is really support, continuing the war and increasing number are taking to the streets, calling for political change. we have this report from dw jerusalem correspondent, tanya kramer, with each passing week protein

a growing logic and loud and israel. people are demonstrating for a hostage deal and against the government. we are protesting because we feel this government needs to step down. we are advocating for a new election, returning the mandate, so to speak, back to the people after what has gone on here over the past 4 months. i personally have 3 sons fighting and guys. and i think that they expect me and other people expect us to come forward and say that the entire political system should re be re shuffled even during war most is riley support, the war and gaza. but they want to change in political leadership. many criticized prime minister benjamin netanyahu blaming him for security failures, links with the october 7th tierra attacks it's and you know,

has always advocated that he is mr. security for his role and under his leadership over the past 15 years, almost straight is real. security has been impeded, it's been undermined in a very profound way, mazda in the face of 3 months as a reservist, fighting in java, end on israel's nose, and buddha. he says, it's time to heal pre war, domestic political awareness. so he's part of a new cross policy movement. 6 we want all the political parties now to speak together to the side to get there. when is the next election election going to be because after the catastrophe of october 7th, you can just move on as if nothing happened. something dramatic happened. the world in which they were elected that has completely changed. it was matted on october 7th. the protest is here in jerusalem. want the government to prioritize the

return of hostages still held in gaza. buy from us. and other militant group here is for bringing back the hostages for striking a deal because are people in israel that don't want to strike a deal? this is a problem. so this is, this is the price button, then we have to pay a price because we want to value life. but not this. it's very, very important for the future. for what i can tell them i chose but these voices seem unlikely to sway and they send yahoo to insist he's on the way to what he calls total victory in gaza. now to rushes on, going invasion of ukraine as moscow continues to press its war of attrition along ukraine's eastern border. munition is in constant amount after russia's full scale invasion. t of european allies stepped up production, but ours manufacturers are struggling to keep ukraine's army supplied. now german

armies company behind the top is building a new factory and german transfer of schultz and danish prime minister met frederickson are lending their full support. as the leaders of germany and denmark break ground on ryan montalvo, new 300000000 euro plant and central germany. just days after donald trump said on the campaign trail, that he would encourage russia to attack nato members who didn't pay their dues. germany's chancellor use the moment and called on his european allies to prepare for times of war and address their arm and shortage. i guess. now new production capacity has to be added. not just because ukraine needs to be able to defend itself, but also for our own long term defense interest. a sustained lodge capacity for the production ammunition, for example, is important. to you recently said it would fall short of its pledge, provide ukraine with a 1000000 artillery shells by next month. privatized says it's new factory will

turn out 200000 a year when it opens in 2025. germany has already pledged several 100000 rounds to ukraine before then. large scale military aid from the united states is no longer a given in with presidential elections later this year. the picture is even less clear. no matter what will happen in us this year. i think the confusion testing needs to be stronger and we need to do, we need to be able to do more on our own. and i say that even though i'm a true believer in the trans atlantic alliance defense experts call the new plan, a step in the right direction. even if it comes a bit late. it's also another reminder that like it or not, europe has once again found itself in times of war. with us now for some analysis is good stuff, dresser. he's with the european council on foreign relations here in berlin. thanks

for being with us. so we just heard this munitions plan isn't going to bit start production until next year. isn't that too late to make a difference in ukraine's efforts to repel the russian invasion? as i am $75.00, the sold will be, well, it will come late in the war, but it will come to the ball. so they're 2 years into the war. that's where we are now. europe is still falling short in keeping kid of supplied with weapons. why do you think that is that is because of the younger estimation, how long it takes to to ramp up industry amunition, also competitive tanks instantly finding way it goes away at defense vehicles. is one of the most simple defense good. it takes 6 to 9 months for an itinerary shell, steal from order to production. and the european union has started to

discuss large scale up to resupply in march last year. but they didn't strike dealers because they were fighting over the legal framework for these until september. now september 2023. and you can apply to see to 9 months of time show on that to kind of roughly guess monday so to the resales will come. and obviously that's too late for the promised time of march this year. and still, by the end of the year, europeans will be quite in a good shape to supply your train. but unfortunately, here, only by the end of the year, you, us election campaign is already forwarding american nomination supply right now. and that's a huge problem for ukraine. but you've talked about to production capacity, but what about political will, is there sufficient political will in europe to help you create in this situation?

believe a little stuff to materialize or i would say political realization stopped to, to materialize now. a lot of well would or have guessed that the world would end quickly and a whole long term a trinity to this, all the russians would wing quickly that hasn't materialized starting from all to them of 2022 was a sort of ukraine with waiting quickly that hasn't materialized last year, they felt that the counter offensive would be successful and then that would be negotiations. and there will be a seas file that has materialized and now this stuff, the reliance of a ceasefire will not happen this year because so somebody puts in his bedding and on from delivering something and 2025. 0 sir. now, one of the political will help you, you've trained that before and they started to realize that this is a long one. this is a long term thing. unfortunately,

they have wasted 2 years. just looking at things. is your ups, in your opinion, relying too heavily on the us for its defense as well. of course, um it was a cheap option for your opinions. both of these was an increasingly sketchy option and would say starting from robot gates, calling and brussels 2011. let to european should be more so for lines. europeans should have listened to the voices that came from washington. these words, these were not turned into lunatics like donald trump, little serious politicians in washington to tow over and over again. look, if there is a major contingency in the pacific in china and is ramping up on for the so we will be tied down in the pacific will not have the capability to assist you the way we did during the cold war. and over and over again, europeans did not listen to this very reasonable us voices. and now we are facing

the prospect of phone from who is in the even more reasonable american voice because of roughly the same uh, fault concerning uh, china, as the price rent plus he's on purple list agenda. and now of course, within a very short amount of time, people uh, still kind of live up for the midst of things and for all the stuff we didn't do. oh, the antonio posts decades. so thank you very much for talking with us. that was christoph, great. so of the european council on foreign relations. thanks a lot. i to the we apologize for the technical difficulties we had in that talk. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines for us present. donald trump has appealed to the supreme court in the case of his criminal prosecution for trying to overturn the 2020 election. trump claim she's immune from prosecution. he's asking

the top judges to put on hold a lower court ruling and thereby delay his trial. thousands of sheep and cattle that were stuck on a ship bound for israel have arrived back at the port they left 6 weeks ago. the livestock were sailing from australia through the red sea, but had to turn around due to the threat of attack from humans who the rebels. animal rights activists have called their treatment crew. toilets, jet jail, the former premier touch, and shannon wise has been granted parole. official said the decision was made in full accordance with regulations. touching is currently being treated down to police hospital. he was serving at 12 months at this after returning to thailand. after years in exxon indonesia is set to elect a new president. today, 3 candidates are facing all,

but with one clear favor it probable to be on to has the backing of correct presidential go with dodo and is leading the polls. probable has been a staple of invitation politics for decades, and it was a controversial figure. he has been accused of human rights abuses during indonesia . dictatorship is rob, will say they will offer the country need to change as dancing for victory. that one of the last and some pain days in the city of may done and all of us. this is trouble, most of these turns lead to me just defense minister, but you looks like a good fest come to country. next president. he's holding big competing events and offering isn't big. our promises to the nation. lot of take very improve the life of our people to get rid of the think. it's probably 30. this time us the packing or form arrivals president jacoby toby's eldest son,

this up for vice president with probable for what will be team number 2 on the ballots. vague for on february 14th. number 2. and look, especially the young people. if you come across any negative campaigns about shows on social media, got the business, just ignore this, done on the file as there are plenty of those young people, more than half of indonesia. so electrical voters are under 14 trouble who is 72 and was the son in law to dictate as to how to has been accused of human rights. but on social media, he presents himself as a cuddly grandpa offering to continue through colby's reforms. his competitors, like from a to a contract governor on east bus. sweet on running team. number one. leave the

country. it's ready to refill. we see the rice is expensive, but are the farmers prosperous? there are murphy is out there. can they be around to cases? what is needed here? his author is change, but he's based on the details set fits with gums up rum, noval and his team number 3. he's far behind to the poles. proposal for you to with the 1st round out. right. things could get interesting in a run because they're potentially a good team also with one of your opponents, like with on these next time we will talk about it. but the 2nd round seems unlikely. jacoby is not allowed to run again, but has not to remain neutral as he hosted all 3 candidates at the presidential palace during the campaign. everyone knew, he put his full political weight behind the proposal, and his son keeper,

there should be something that they had been working on right in the 3rd and for that support. i think part of the pushy but then is that uh, quite significant or for the brand as the, as the vice president, if they are elected, which are probably asked to leave the political stage in southeast asia, because the economy could retain significant influence behind the scenes now it's up to 205000000 voters to decide if this is the music. they want the next president to dentist a c, w, 's, asian pacific bureau chief care, a bunch of what kind of policies probable. so be onto, is advocating a terry. let's put it this way, introduces quote vote a 1st time for the current presidents jacoby. um, we took over, you have a total,

and then that is actually what they would do. and the person who stands for the legacy of the, of the decade, us indonesian say, here, of a decade of stability and prosperity that the jacoby has has brought. then this is a probable sub youngel. he is talking a lot about continuing the reforms of the current president. he's talking about popular programs like a free lunch for school children that he wants to provide. he just talks about the goals and indonesia, off 20 a $45.00. and that really is the problem for it is competitors because people are so contempt with what they had in the past decade. that it's really difficult to say, you know, we need a radical change from, from what we had in the past. of a however, here's a bit of a dark pass, doesn't he? including allegations of human rights abuses is, is that proving a liability for him? i think 1st of all, this goes to show how important social media campaigns are half of the electro. it

is under 40 here in indonesia and they consume a lot of social media. and the problem with the team is running a super efficient campaign, present them him and him as a, as a cuddly grandfather. grandpa. if you want someone who, who holds the florida and continues the heritage of, of the current president. and so the dark past as something goes on the forty's a don't remember. and let's, let's be clear of the mobile was number of prosecutors. he was honestly discharged . there were allegations about human rights abuses and that he orchestrated the kids not being of a fact to this, but none of that has been reading and frankly it hasn't damaged his campaign. a lot of it was hardly mentioned during those past months of campaigning. as he mentioned, the current president joe co without it has been a popular leader. how much influence is he having on the campaign deal? yeah, i would say here uh picture say more than

a 1000 words. there's this one post or election poster where you see pro bowl and still could be some deep prom and. 1 jacoby in the background, like a god father leaning over the 2 of them. and if you look for a controversial issue in this electoral race, it is really the fact that to call we have not even to worst trouble was a candidate which is what we have been illegal. but you really showed up on numerous occasions together with proposal. it's an open secret that he has thrown is his political wage behind this one candidates? and that is something that many of the nations have objected to. there were that the experts i have talked to as that's a this has not undermined in the nation democracy. there's still a strong civil society in indonesia that upholds democracy. but uh, is this a political dynasty of the making? that's what a lot of experts say. yes, that is the case. yeah, thank you very much. that was our asian pacific bureau chief new york motus in jakarta to and just be clear that the election in indonesia is taking place

tomorrow. not today, as i mistakenly said earlier. now finally, venice is gearing up for the highlight of its carnival season. the judges, ball, elaborately costumed revellers concealed themselves behind mysterious masks for the mall, which marks the final day of carnival on stroke tuesday or more of the ground during the renaissance. these mask balls celebrated ben. this is military prowess these days. it's more of a torres and droll, but you can't mask the prices. tickets go for up to 5000. you're you're watching dw news just to remind you of our top story. this our, the us president has joined international pressure on israel to re think it's planned ground defensive on the rough. after our meeting with the george 80 and king and washington president joe biden said any offensive should not proceed without a credible plan for ensuring the safety of more than
