the, the, basically the, the news life from berlin, ukraine's president holds, talks with the germans on slide in berlin. one of the minutes that landscape is meeting with his host off shoals to discuss long term security. 2 years after restaurants and vision began. also on the program, egypt starts bringing up a buffer zone for refugees on the border with the gaza strip base. as israel's benefit campaign, again from us present the safety of more than a 1000000 civilians in dropbox. and while he does on the defense specialist to arrive in germany for the annual munich security conference, because uh and you pray and top priorities at the meeting. your opinion president

means the landscape of joining us, vice president, couple of hers following his visits to berlin. i'm sorry, the management of you're welcome to the program. your training president voted to me to, to landscape is in berlin for talks with german johnson the own up charles, as he tries to show up much needed military and financial support. political deadlock in the united states over more aid for ukraine means president savanski needs more help from his european allies. as his troops struggled on the back and feeding off to berlin, he hits your powers and then onto munich to speak with other leaders of the annual unix security confidence. and from all, i'm joins non just to do by the, the political correspondent,

funds from tons welcome. how much support can the ukrainian president to count on from germany. it felt that germany and all that shows that tons of it have saved in the last 2 years since this still, it was started that's germany will stand by ukraine's side for as long as it takes for uh, for the duration uh that it needs to defend itself against russia, so that commitment remain strong and it has been followed by the delivery of weapons and the delivery of a loss of money, billions in, in financial aid as well. germany is in 2nd place behind the united states and absolute terms and supporting ukraine. and at the same time that has been at the attempt or the have been and negotiations to integrate ukraine into a security structure of western security structure. and in that framework, an agreement is going to be signed today, the security agreement between germany and ukraine's. and this would be the 2nd,

the security agreement that you created, signs with the rest of nation off the signing one with the okay. but can you tell us a bit more about the, the, the long term to get it to commitments that this dean will include all the background to this is the, is nato, basically a, you train has always wanted to become a member of nato. that is something that nato has said is possible, but has not promised for the near future. and it's something that doesn't which to rush, i'd be a and a provocation. it's something that the rest of it sees as one of the reasons why it's attacking ukraine. so in order to replace the kinds of security guarantees that nato cannot offer the g 7 nations, the largest industrialized nations and more than 2 dozen other countries around the world have committed themselves to assigning security agreements with ukraine. and the 1st, as you said, is, and united kingdom. now germany will be the 2nd and france is also likely to sign

such an agreement with your crime later today when presidents or landscape goes to paris and it's and visions and vision's very comprehend. and so for security guarantees, not quite going as far as the nato membership, but they're include ministry a to include exchange of intended ones that includes the discussions on the training of integrating systems between ukraine and the western military systems and so on. so it's very comprehensive, and these are envisioned for 10 to 15 years depends a little bit on the countries. each country has to make its own agreement with ukraine, but the very long term, very comprehensive commitment. germany is also said that it will support your grant for as long as it takes you brought that point up. and yeah, and i'll be talking about these long term to get into commitments. but if you look at the ukraine, the buffing the water is not going exactly the way ukraine had blended. and ukraine is not weighted, wanted to be in the face of the setbacks of the ukrainians are facing on the

territory. how long will buildings commitment remain strong? i think it will be strong for really, for as long as it takes, i think at the moment there's no prospect of germany stepping back from this commitment and of other european nations as well, staffing back from that commitment. but the problem is it's nice to have eyes, but if those allies cons supply you with that munition, that will come to the fire with weapons. then it's a kind of moral commitment if you will. that's not something that is really going to have an effect on the battlefield and that's the situation that you're trained is in, at the moment. european union, for instance, has promised a 1000000 rounds of ammunition, but has only been able to deliver 500000 tons of charles just in the last few days, attended the opening of all the product foundation as it were of a new munitions factory here in germany. a so was trying to ratchet up the

production of ammunition and these kinds of things. but if this is going to take a long time, so at the moment, germany and other european nations to united baths and in the united states as well . uh, having some trouble fulfilling these kinds of commitments in kind as well. i mean, you mentioned the united states. i mean, we know that the long term funding a funding ground of about $60000000000.00 is stuck in the us congress. and a lot of that has to do with the providing ammunition to ukraine. if those problems become those funding problems become more uh, are present in the long term the united states. could there be a situation that germany who needs to step up or the, or europe needs to step up to fulfill that funding go? absolutely, that's a prospect that is looming on the horizon. shots was in uh, washington last week to speak to a president biden about exactly the issue. um, obviously the united states are a lot more powerful, have

a lot more money available and the europeans would have to agree amongst themselves and to increase spending to make more money available. but i think if push comes to shove, and what we're talking about obviously is the possibility of donald trump, accounting president again in the united states and the europeans would probably have to and would in fact, find the money, find the means to continue supporting your tracking i suspect they never put it in corresponding hands from thanks very much for being in the studio with us and the hon. so we'd be available to out of the duration of this program because we're expecting a presidency lensky, and announced the shelves to deliver a statement on the new security fact in about an hour. and we will be bringing you that live here on the news. but moving on to another story, sources in egypt, say construction back to create spaces, to accommodate by listing. and refugees has begun on the border with gaza. they say

their area is being prepared in case something. is there any offensive in the city a for alpha? as part of it's campaign against how miles we launch the october 7th, to attack against israel and such a move could cause an exodus of finest indians across the gyptian border. video released by a different in g o. the sign i foundation for human rights shows walking verified by the reuters news agency as being along the doesn't border egypt is reportedly said and is very offensive in rough uh would be unacceptable. more than a 1000000 palestinians are currently sheltering their john list got him algo body jones, you know, from kyle, with more cutting. what you know about egypt plans in the area to what we 1st know that the such as like pictures that shows an area about this and 20 square miles said that is prepared for something like this. we have no dvds from this

n g o from sign that you were showing senior report. and we have, um, we have the security sources anonymously talking that this camp is in the making. that is going to be surrounded by a war. and that it will be housing substitute to 16, which is a mutual house between 62800000 people. accepting palestinians forced out from gaza was a red line for the egyptian government. has the government not changed its mind? snow. this is clearly a constituency plan. i mean, they don't want to be part of any official plan of any displacement, the honesty and some because a strip of any force from conviction, eviction of palestinians from the causes strips of this is a camp that is just the preparing for what might come because of course on that, just so that is big fear that there will be some kind of mass exodus. and when and

this is there any ground defense, isn't it off i really started because i mean, but if you could, we do it in front of them. they have these really ami behind them to have the egyptian, a lot of the border. so it's a big possibility that they might to try to get out onto the egyptian side of it. just basically preparing for this, the trying to put it in. so some kind of controlled area that was, was they wanted to because the teacher should army also don't forget they would be not able to go against this refugee. so the people who come over the part of things by force, it's politically impossible even that they're shooting wise. and so they try to set up something where they come to control dissertation and is egypt shut them that if it came to days that these reference areas in the sign i am the places that are being in the area aware of this construction work is happening that these references would be the only temporarily what that is,

that big few. i mean the big peers of egypt that there wouldn't be that they really don't want to be part of what this placement scenario. and the of course 1st, i mean, big parts of the gulf stream so completely destroyed. so where would the people go back to? and it was for me. and the 2nd thing is this, of course, parts of the video meet me, then we get that out. government to was talking about the displacement of punish students from because a strict forever. so this is something of course, egypt has in mind that you should this very few 4 or other concerns. come in that this good eventually affect bilateral relations between isabel and egypt. oh if it comes to this, absolutely, i mean that you should already said if the security concerns, uh not address is true. this is really offensive. they might even recall the buses or the and there was even talked

a few days ago that the camp david piece agreement might be that it completely suspended. but the that some, some future she's gone in the night by now we're name of the time being thanks for speaking to douglas cutting out of the body reporting from the different capital title. thanks so much you're welcome. so out in germany, dozens of what he does have gathered for the munich security conference, which is getting underway in that german c to the annual for them to debate the world's most pressing security challenges is mocking it's 60 of addition. and this year, the list of challenges, easy, especially long, was in gaza and you created will shortly be at the forefront of discussions. but topics include tensions over taiwan. donald trump's possible return to the white house and the global economy. these will also be focusing mines

and some on this as dr. d. douglas chief political anytime you cannot go now who's joining us from the confidence venue a good often we cannot. what will be the main focus of this has been executed to conference as well? of course you already mentioned it. it is. there's 2 lots conflicts. it is israel reaction to the terrorist attack by hamas. that rule that is raging in gaza and we do expect to send warning here from the un secretary general when he's on the panel opening at this gathering of reminding well leaders that it is the duty to prevent civilian that. that's an over arching concern that and then of course, that is the will in ukraine. ukraine trying to defend itself of all that really isn't moving into any particular direction. and that is challenging nato as well, and how it sticks it together. and the willingness to both the us, but also the european allies of ukraine to stay in the, in the long,

who with the lensky who right now is invalid and talking to the german town. so then heading to paris, signing security guarantees on both trips with both countries before he comes here to munich. as long as the landscape is concerned, that he needs more munitions. he needs it fast, but he also needs those long term guarantees that his allies will stick with him. and that's not always an easy sell back home, particularly. so the united states that thrown the during a bit of a political walk lead with this package stuck in concourse so long, so lots to talk about. so between the world leaders and a lot of other crises that will also be debated and that are not making as much of the international headline. let's talk about ukraine. us, vice president coming to her as will also be speaking at music. i believe. uh, she has a speech scheduled for tomorrow. what does your want to hear from her as well?

you know, it's interesting because normally uh, any new president of the united states always holds his 1st speech and everybody listens out whether there is a re commitment, tomatoes, article 5, that nature will stand into one of its partners. and after donald trump, who's holding no public office but wants to run again in these next upcoming presidential elections of the he threw down on that very issue. saying that he simply wouldn't protect countries that don't pay off. in fact, that she would even encourage russia to do whatever it likes, with those partners. ever since that the us isn't a position of as far as wanting to hear. exactly. that's again, we will stick with you no matter what. so that's the expectation here from pamela harris to try and fix some of that damage that has been done. and also hearing from her at what the biden administration plans to do to prevent those packages to assist in packages for ukraine becoming increasingly ammunition and what

a very domestic power struggles between the current president joe biden. and the one of the next president's donald trump. this is what your wants to hear, but then let's, let's look at board one of us. i'm a very prominent. yup. and diplomat is saying the conference room and the minutes ago to conference german, christopher's gun has gone up to spend then the autopay. and a lot of natal does that give us some indication of the thinking here in europe, perhaps as a way to hedge a bit as to when even when toner come becomes president. well, absolutely and today, because of course, any used to be before and and security policy advisor to uncle a michael who was a great transatlantic this. and now he finds himself in a position saying something that he simply would not have fits before russell

attacks ukraine, that you or must become more dependent. so much is really consensus right now. but that you are mosse work on its own capabilities when he speaks of a european pillar of nato. he is basically glossing over the fact that there's a concern here that native becoming more independent european talk this proactive be thinking about what so far as a friend, self of extending the friends nuclear umbrella to it's european pot. this could be seen on the other side of the atlantic in the us, as kind of a viable tomato of europe doing their own thing. and that's something you, it certainly doesn't want. it wants to stay under that protective umbrella of us, lead nato. and at the same time, there's a realization that simply spending more on defense isn't going to be enough that the europeans and also the time. and so didn't want to touch this issue for such a long time, would have to take more responsibility. also in thinking strategically about their

own security, where you live with the timing, but thanks so much for joining us today. we can now, speaking to us from the munich security conference. thanks so much. you're welcome . bye. this has a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines today. russia has started a new trial against veteran rights activists. like our law, he's facing up to 5 years in prison, so could decides in a rush as envision of ukraine. moscow has classified the 70 year old as a on an agent is to our law is one of the very few high profile kremlin critics who's not got an exam or in prison here. you know so much you reasons, other, some neighbor faulty has picked up 2 new seats in stunning victories of a candidates of the ruling conservatives on labor candidates gen kitchen and damien egan, won the contest by wide margins of java. say this double the victory suggest maybe is on cost to we national elections later this year.

and the trial of a key suspect in the case of missing the distorted amendment, mccann has the gun in the german city of gun fried a 47 year old german man identified as christie. and b is being tried for a number of a 6 crimes, though the charges and related to the long unsolved monday case. they stem directly from the investigation into her disappearance to india next with tens of thousands of farmers out on the march to demand guaranteed minimum prices for their crops, debt relief and policy reforms. the farmers began moving towards daily with the column of tractors and trucks. earlier this week, police have been blocking them with tear gas, and buddy kids waking up on the side of a highway. all of these thomas have been camping out on the way to deli.

busy where they want to voice that and go to the governments, they feel is letting them down, mcdaniel quite a while. we left our homes and our children behind to come here. we will only leave when our demands are made. how can we take out loans? and then we don't get fare prices for our crops. many committed suicide. farmers make up a huge number of overall suicide cases as a guaranteed minimum cropped prices is one of the farm is main demands. the state will say, won't the government to follow through on a promise to double farm is incomes. thousands of dollars in india is northern province is joined to protest, much to the capital on monday, which at times led to violent connections between farmers and deals. to ortiz trying to block their response to the ongoing between farm is unions and the government. but so far,

no resolution has been found as to the we left our homes behind to get our demands met. and to march on deli oh, the talks are in progress. the government representatives came here for the meeting may and then said that we will have another meeting that best of all would be good, but we will see what happens at the next meeting. and it will still in our market will continue on hold on the me in the negotiations are expected to continue into the weekend. the government is hoping to avoid a repeat of the loan farm is protest in 2020, which falls the hand into repeating agricultural lows. they also cannot afford the i a farm is a significant voting block in an election year. and deductible is

deadly bureau. truth, i'm or thought treat has more of the talks between farmers and the government will do it. there was no breakthrough in these pillar drums of tools which went on to the early hours of the morning. some headway was made the agriculture minister describe the atmosphere at the tools as positive and union leaders said this, this meeting was fruitful. and if some of the commitments made up this meeting would to be implemented, it would be very beneficial for 5 months. now a key road was played by the chief minister for an job. that's the state where many of the farmers game to join this protest. he urged security forces to remain restrained and notify until gas if the farm was, but also off the farms to remain peacefully and not to storm battery kids. some agreement was reached on some of the issues demanded by the families with them. the key issue of the minimum support of price, there was no agreement, and that is key for families who see the need, income security,

and the basic minimum price for the prompts. otherwise they say the lid left the mercy of unscrupulous free. it is now for the government. these spilt has come in over to any time elections on the they can't afford to alienate farm, was for the key electra block. so when they meet for the 4th round of talks is sunday, attempts to be made to narrow the gap between what the farmers want and what that meant is able to give them. i'm gonna talk to you about importing from delhi that now greece has voted to legalize same sex marriage, making it the 1st orthodox christian country to do so. the lower change was opposed by the orthodox church, which claimed it puts breton what it called, traditional families. but some voters say of the change is long overdue, and a significant advance for greek society. out julie on the streets of athens, as crowds celebrated

a milestone mine at the same 6 customer support has watched the vote from outside. greece is telling me this thing with pride is the results came through the. this is the story they were so very happy with this result. we've been waiting for it for a very long time and finally loved wins. everything. the bill, head face, strong opposition from greece, is old adults, christian church. despite the criticism, greek public opinion on same sex marriage is narrowly in favor and call them and the change managed to gonna read. so you can since least swing social, democratic and conservative lawmakers. suppose that the motion, which was lead like research prime minister. you submitted the meta to day and i

said the joy because starting tomorrow and not the barrier between us is removed to create a breach of co existence is in a free state method with free status incentive to this point. it is then, you know, also strength and spring to rights. the same 6 couples. while critics say there is still room for improvement. it is a big state for the predominantly orthodox christian nation. the 1st to say yes to same sex marriage with many hopeful that more will follow. so we are the orthodox countries in the region fund or research lead when it comes to same sex rights, has done list a deal to goes, christie. these the grease is uh setting. uh, pretty good, pretty smooth care. uh, but uh, why don't should i, i'm not sure what, what's going to happen. the mother of which companies uh, but greece now has in either of the church uh in, betrays of, um said yeah,

the only most was uh kind of more that uh and he is not the one who will uh, bring out the crowd to launch for this and create much of a fuss about it. so i think um cheers that there will be a huge backlash from the, from the uh. com servers, source server to all the projects. uh, a bit overblown and i never got less research has made it clear that there does not condone it or they will not authorize it or not even baptized to print from the same sex couples to. and that quick reminder now the top, sorry, via following for you ukraine's president, one of the main, it's a landscape visiting berlin and before the meeting with the german chancellor of charles discussing long term security plans for you paying 2 years off the brochures and bates and both he doesn't be addressing a press conference for let's say we'd be bringing that to you live from abilene as

soon as it starts. and you can also follow developments on us social media channels . i'm going to expand the g e, but in find so much for one thing as we be back. so the,

to the point strong opinions, clear positions, international perspective. donald trump sounds like an extortion, or if allies want military protection from the u. s, they have to pay your, of a seeing his remarks on nato and russia to wake up call. if he returns to the white house this week, onto the points to team, then trump and you'd access against tomato and chris to the point. the next on dw, the

respect, it's all about, walk in waves and texting. make sure that's right, sandra, respecting they just studying the new data. it's about being up to date with cameron diaz technologies. i'm trying for the eco way of life, the environment, magazine, eco, india on d, w, ice, cold, b, c. at the end of the week. how's it going to be? difficult to access an expedition ventures on to places that no one has the search. why is the ice melting? the design of the research in the plastic

on march? the donald trump sounds like an extortionist of allies want the protection of the usa. they have to pay it is a blunt warning by the republican presidential candidates had a taste of what's to come. should he return to the president's russian would be able to do whatever it wants when delinquent nato members, the possibility that paul's at horrifies nato partners. so many you countries, the trump statements as a wake up comes to become militarily self. sufficient. crane is also planning to challenge restaurants with new military leadership. at any strategy until the point we ask, coaching and trump or new access again, state of enterprise, the.
