the, the dw news live from berlin, germany consider as long range missiles for ukraine. politicians pile on the pressure of these debates, sending cruise missiles and more a, to help feedback precious the agent, to go live to the german problem. and as it waits for weapons and age, ukraine is pushing innovation. drones are now a key part of itself built arsenal. we bring you a special report on an underground industry. fox is really police say that a gun attack in the occupies the west bank pills, at least one person and several others. 2 of the gunman, our report at least shot said after firing on vehicles, you're

a check and the by the administration wants to defuse the price this along the us southern border. so why do volunteers say that they are working with 0? government supports the sarah kelly. welcome to the program. pressure is building on germany to step up its military support for ukraine. a broad coalition of lawmakers is calling for the german government to deliver the long range missiles to ukraine. the german politicians are debating their next commitments on the 10 year anniversary of russia's annexation of crimea. until now, the government has lots deliveries of tourist missiles on the grounds that they could be used to strike target seats inside russian territory. so after billions

have been pumped into defense spending already. many also see this as a watershed moment for how germany's armed forces will look for decades to come. the german chancellor, all shots and his defense minister preaching their elbows into it. you're reaching the ground on you. i munition planned earlier this month. the right natal factory will eventually char note $200000.00. hillary shells per year under lightning efforts to run pop production. just as we need this other urgently. because it's hard is this reality is we're not living in peaceful times. but yeah, many has been on a journey before a russian president vladimir pershing's invasion for our lands. focus was on peace offering t f. little more than head gear, nevada phones, tablets, and tell them we will send 5000 helmets out as a clear message that we send by this side. i the since then, they sent bottle tanks. how it says irish t defend the systems and more

a know the debates is whether it will also send some of its powerful tal risk crews mess. sales russians attack on ukraine was a watershed moment, and it's forced germans to confront some hard choice. for the one, this means the same for the bundle stairs. it goes for german society, the us, we must become patient for a walk through. the government has cost off on extra 100000000000 euros to bring the burden this fab back to life. orders are written for new us built fighter jets . 60 come about helicopters under through air defense system fit to guard. the skies of your defense spending is growing again at the height of the cold war, west german spend up to 5 percent of gdp on security that decrease gradually until re unification. in the early ninety's, when it fell off a cliff. no,

it's not that 2 percent need to target. and this week the defense minister signaled there was room to grow. that was the development of the industry. what i mentioned to that all has to sit together and then we might reach 3 percent or maybe even $3.00. it depends what's happening in the world and does do how many bills it's production capacity and bolsters. it's military. the question know is whether tax payers are willing to fit the bill that's getting more now from our chief, political correspondent, nina has us. so nina, as we've been hearing their parliament as holding a debate as the 2 year anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine years, just walk us through the agenda. yes, this is an intense good discussion today. it's almost 2 years to the day the russell launched its full scale invasion of ukraine. but of course, we also mustn't forget that 10 years ago russia illegally and next the black sea

peninsula of crime. yeah. and there is a lot of reckoning here as well that to him, the imperialist ambitions of russian president vladimir putin, wherever underestimated by germany. there is a lot of support here by members of parliament for continued support for ukraine and its defense against russian aggression, members of parliament, especially from the government of course, and discussing how germany has become one of the most important supporters of ukraine financially speaking. and then number 2 off to the us and, but what it really comes down to today is that question of should germany deliver those long range taurus, cruise missile systems, to ukraine ocean, that that's a weapon system that ukraine has asked for since last year. and the position want the german chancellor to give his green light to the weapons delivery. and bunch of the government apologies, are bit more reluctant. why has schultz been so reluctant? why the hesitation?

what is it about this particular method? the taurus cruise or what is considered a state of the art, a cruise missile system that has a range of about 500 kilometers. it can fly really low, it can be not easily be detected by the enemy. so ukraine really says a one stop weapon system so that it can hit and russian military logistics, russian military targets behind the front lines. and he says to be stopped for us or advancing a germany does have that weapon system, but the chancellor is reluctant. he says with a range of, of some 500 kilometers. that weapon system could also end up on russian territory. now that is why he's taking this decision very, very slowly. his mulling at catholic he doesn't want to go it alone either. but what's interesting today is normally is the other way around that the jump in terms of wants to do something and get spawn wins approval. today's the other way around, essentially the german going to start will give the german chancellor that green light and say if you want to deliver the tourist cruise missile system to ukraine,

then we would have your back, you know, has a in berlin. thank you. and in the wake of presidents, a lensky strip to berlin, to boost flagging weapons deliveries from germany and other western partners. ukraine is increasingly having to rely on its own weapons industry to stave off the russian invasion. but how and where to manufacture these weapons under threat of russian missiles using economy, went to a drone factory and an undisclosed location that is helping to form a key part of ukraine's arsenal. where are you allowed to film that hands these work as a building long range, recognizance drones, some way in ukraine. this is a prime target the russian results. so they spread out the workforce to various locations in ukraine and in the u. or only by the 10th of the pre war team is left . the idea is that if one facilities hits the others can continue. and yet stay and

ukraine is worth the risk. not just because many of the stuff can't always leave the hold at this point. we have to be close to the people using our drawings. we need to be hey, to repair an upgrade, but technology quickly to get the feedback and make sure we can make the dragons back. so this is the best place of the world right now to develop and test this kind of technology. when rusher invited 2 years ago, his company was making drones to protect wild life from purchase was bought while 5 . now everything they make goes to the army. with west and munitions deliveries dropping off intelligence these drugs provide is crucial to make sure every last shell accounts must have a portion of our soldiers and very limited resources. my shelves and all kinds munitions are at a premium. they can't afford to fire, they don't have visual confirmation from red row. and since they've got the right

target, this technology gives them that are in real time product up. and these drugs have combustion rather than electric motors. that means they can fly up with a 12 hours rather than 2 or 3 very. they could fly too much, going back then normally found, doing endless loops. but the ukranian battlefields, a bullet deem it combines a drum unit, is back from the front line to give the engine is feedback and slips to be able to wire up a student like come here all the time to help the guys make these drones better. so the bible crushing the reward has never static, but it's all about the changes. so if we allow ourselves to stand still, we will lose. but i still have our own. the advantage is our motivation is cool, but it was on my mind and it's a big one. uh what, what's our enemy is very, very strong, lawful. and we cannot afford to underestimate the senior what the ukraine's

best joints of achieving parity on the battlefield. to use comparatively cheap technologies like this to destroy a russian weapons with many times more fluids, the man has been constantly doing the sums so little i was to add it up. i'm sure these drones have help destroyed targets worth much more than we spend destroying them, either on the drones themselves or us missiles. that calculation sometimes makes it worth sacrificing one of these birds. step pilot school, them. chromecast model, low clouds. we're getting in the way of us watching what was happening on the ground level about this. and we can see 2 russian macbook air defense systems that i just heard. and we decided to defend to get a better view of where mister shows could. if i was there to direct the hi maurice drake, right up till the last moment. finally, we ended up destroying one of the book units at the cost of my drone. we need to

find a small in conspicuous plants like these going to be key to ukraine's jones's base rushes costs. resources. these are weapons that ukraine could make for itself without other country support. the engineers here, just need to be sure the location remains the secret. hope that countries the defensive can stop the russian yourselves. and here's a look at some other stories making news. a bush fire in southern australia has forced more than 2000 people to leave their homes. authorities ordered the evacuations from towns in the west of victoria state. as a precaution, officials say that firefighters on the ground are being supported by aircraft and the sky to battle the blaze which is roughly 50 square kilometers in size. which us lawmakers visiting taiwan have accused china of potent bullying the self. rhode island,

a bi partisan congressional delegation is holding 3 days of meetings with the taiwan stop. leaders visit focused on regional security and trade comes at a time when divisions in congress have found questions about washington's commitment partners. some of the people accord in spain has found former parcel, loaner, football, or denny as as guilty of raping a woman in a night club. the sexual assault took place on december 31st. 2022 eldest has been attempted as 24 and a half years in prison. the court also ordered the 40 year old to pay his victim a $150000.00 euros. he can appeal to 8 people have been wounded in a shooting attack and the is really occupied. westbank is really police say the 3 gunman carried out the attack, opening fire on cars near jewish settlements. police say that the assailants shot at civilian stuff in a traffic jam. the attackers arrived at the scene in the car with

a palestinian license. plate 2 of the gunmen were killed. the incident took place near the entrance to the la la. do mean settlement? east of jerusalem and for more let's bring in journalist by lake slab dean. he is joining us from jerusalem. so what more can you tell us about this incident? yes. yes sir. so it has been cleared for publication. uh, a few minutes ago. the name of one of the uh, is ladies that the was killed or actually the only one that was declared dads him by now. his name is my town and my lease is 26 is from ali. i do mean the settlement that the shooting happened. new rid of this morning and we know that the city of the attackers are coming from the area of bethel him specifically from a village called that. and also that there are 2 of them. there are actually

a brothers that were that were killed as a result. of uh, this uh, attack as a result of, uh, 2 policemen that showed them on the scene of the said one that was in utah, our lives. and we know that they uh, is there any security forces are working right now inside their villages near at bethel him, we probably are going to see arrests from their family members and usually also a preparation for a demolish ment. hopeful of the homes of the family. so uh, of course, uh, this incident happened uh this morning and uh, we know that the shooters and names are of the mother and whose and also um, how much and the call them is ortho. and the, the 3 of them, as we said, are from the area of the bethlehem, also an update on the number of the wounded the it is. and now uh uh, said by dave, there is a, the health authority that is the living people. one of them,

as we said, they are already declared dad. the one also is the women who is pregnant and she is a seriously wounded. her fee to is that right now is the out of danger, but of course they are also uh, the health, the uh see the health authorities are also, of course, are trying to save her from being good also in danger of death. as the result of this shooting, can you give us a brief sense of the backdrop um, you know, against which this attack is taking place because it comes against the backdrop of rising violence in the occupied westbank, including from settlers since the war and gaza broke out walk us through it. yes, exactly. so according to the association of civil rights and israel, $200.00 incidents at least happens since october 7th attacks inside the west bank by settlers against palestinians. at least 7 fellow standards were actually killed . as a result of these violent incidents and were talking about hundreds,

maybe 900 the number that people were driven out of their homes were talking about fellow seen as the are on a daily basis. they are exposed to violence from the settlers. and we know that the 9th is the point 7 percent of these cases, a, b, r close. we've dealt indictment that may be, explains why the u. s. the u. k. and france are seeking towards, you know, a uh, sanctions against the settlers. we heard yesterday from a report from times of israel that a the u. s. is looking into a 2nd round. the 1st thing that we need to wait and see what happens also there. we have to leave it there. unfortunately, fall excited again. journalist joining us from jerusalem. thank you. now, the issue of migration is taking center stage in the united states in the run up to

november's presidential elections. this, as the number of migrants arriving at the us reached a record high at the end of last year. while political battle lines on border policies between republicans and democrats are well established in washington, volunteers helping migrants, trying to cross the border, are losing hope that there is a political will to solve the problem on the ground. the w corresponded benjamin albert as gruber reports from the us mexican border of the california board. the town of yakima hot springs has become a flash point for migration. thousands of people have crossed into the united states here in recent months. many of them from latin america that will come forward at the low book a custom way already. we're trying it to, you know, because most of nicaragua is who cross will be address and address. they said they will send them back. yes, that is why we're trying our luck here. but as we'll come with the law, let's say if this case time was going to be meant that we are here now. suffering

luxury, a hill latrice cape with me that you on a border patrol has paused and took children and mothers with them. you know, i don't. uh uh, and i might a, they said they would pick us up in the morning a nice and don't say they don't cause, i mean, they don't have that on my end. i'm, i don't know. i'm for support. most of these belong to you is a helping them warm clothing after a rainy night and food, many had no tens to sleep in. the next step is to wait for border patrol to pick them up for registration. people get stuck here. sometimes these days, usually for a long way, for a matter of hours, but there was times in a little over at least 6 weeks ago, where people here for 4 or 5 days in the same location. sam and his son john, a locals, along with other volunteers that have been taking care of newly arrived migrants for months. it leaves me very disappointed. it's and quite frankly, kind of absurd that uh my family and uh, just

a group of regular volunteers are filling in this role. it should be done by the us government. there should be the red cross out here. there should be many different organizations, but that's just not here. daily, the volunteers scan the area along the voted for people, the so called son, judah, sprague, and gap. and the boy defends, used to pave the way for many migrants. so this is uh, transit camp that was set up by the mexican national guard that was designed to hold any migrants that come through this gap over here. prior to this establishment, we would see smugglers bringing people through non stop throughout the day. and cars driving up and down the start road over there. they would pack sometimes up to 12 people in a single small you see the volunteers say the strategy of the turing migrant stuff, not work because they will just search for other gaps as the legal ways of entry a limited sam and john don't get financial support from the authorities,

they are disappointed not just with washington, it's almost like they have given up on the, on the visual p are aspects of it. they just don't care anymore. i mean look, and this has been going on for 6 months now. debbie constant and nobody with lots of top, blah, blah, blah, blah, lot to talk a lot to media attention to the talk. but you seen anything change? i haven't good news with this group of new d arrived migrants after i was in the cold border patrol came to pick them up. they will be resisted and the decision will be made on whether they can stay in the us, or they will be sent back to the countries. for us political analyst boys foreman, is with us now. he teaches political science at bard college in berlin sports. i mean, let's talk about the political side of all of this because president 5 and has failed to get congress to pass legislation that addresses the migration crisis at the us

southern border. why has it been so difficult to strike a deal? well, he hasn't been the 1st one to fail. i mean there hasn't been any legislation. comprehensive legislation before the 21st century as yet. there have been multiple attempts starting with mccain, and a few other became kennedy build it sometimes, at least that shifted by partisan compromising the senate, but them failed in the house. and i think the main reason for that is very much tied to the political phenomena that sometimes this practice puller was ation between the parties, but also within the parties. um and, and uh, yeah, so this has been a major problem. and again, i mean with binding, the same is true because we know that on trump also didn't want this to go to pass because he sees migration as a major, major issue in subject for his own campaign. i think that's one part of the story. another part is also the bill at the time, was linked to h to the ukraine,

which is a very contentious issues on the, on the right in the house of representatives and dealing with the issue of migration. i mean, it's held up many other issues hasn't had or perhaps has been used as an excuse also to hold up many other issues such as vital military aid for ukraine. just walk us through the grid lock and how you're perceiving it to yeah, i'm interested, i mean, it is interesting that migration is such an important issue, not just in the us actually. i mean there has been a search of google migration of ways of migration. the last couple of years, especially with the beginning of the coded print on it, but also fueled by political and stability. and a lot of different context of, of us was particularly important as obviously to invest in american products. um, but what i would also emphasize is that we're seeing that the, that the right to the extreme road particular is using migration as a, as a which issue as a policy issue to try and mobilize its boulder. so this is something we're seeing

not just in the us, we're seeing it in europe as well. and we're seeing also that the central left is giving in. so there's a change of position, for instance, also in germany, but also denmark earlier on. and we're seeing a similar development with, with binding. we're just now trying to appear more a tough on these types of integration questions, but i think you're absolutely right. it's distracting from some of the issues such as lack of response of most of the democratic institutions, deep into quantities and it's a, a with a ring. well, 1st state. so a lot of political issues that are basically swept under the rug by a focus on foreigners. and we've heard that president biden is thinking of using his executive authority to is nice my friends asylum claims. can you walk us through what's going on there? and whether the political issues now outweigh the humanitarian once but so the border bill was a package of different things, also adding the ukraine and,

and financial support for, for east rel together, lumped together with a question of migration. and this, this a border border aspect is know something that's a bite and once to deal with an executive order. so it was basically bypassing congress to do so. um and again, i mean the, i think we're in an election year there's a lot of focus on the bible's position and migration. and i think he wants to take some of the momentum of trumps contain by saying, well, the, the built, the border to felt failed because of the republicans, which here's what i'm offering instead of talk a little bit more about trans because as we know he is still currently the leading candidate to get the republican nomination to run for president. he stepped up this already strong and t migrant rhetoric and as apparently mulling building mass deportation camps is elected. just walk us through what the strategy is there and

how you see that. you know, affecting his base as well as it parted, surprising because the language itself is radicalized and the last couple of weeks and months. i mean, you spoke off of the body, put it to, to, and the, at the american, a blog being poisoned. i mean, this is rhetoric that is reminiscent of fascism and in germany. and so that is the pricing in the american context at the same time. what's less surprising is that migration is such an important issue on the right in particular. and it's a weak spot to move point on the left. and i think one of the reasons is we've been in a larger crisis of democracy in the last 7 to 8 years. at least. i mean, to start with the, with the financial crisis in 2008. the left has been emphasizing the problem, the most deep and equality and is basically arguing,

been arguing for redistribution, which device has made this an issue not top down a well also off and tell you leaders and, but also off inside, outside. so basically closing the borders as a way to return to some kind of magical and most eltic pass for the true american. so there's a re envisioning off of who is actually we're actually belongs with a true american. and often times this is defined on the extreme right as a, as to national body. so this is a fantasy off of emotional side. i think this is very punter centers. we have to leave at the air force form and afford college berlin. thank you. thanks. i this and with i know you're up to date here on the the news coming up next. we have focus on europe that the story of a ukrainian athlete who despite the war is training hard to win a metal at the olympics. and parents stay with steve hun, i'm sarah kelly in berlin. the

attention on the islands, my aunt, seeing us soon as frustrated by the arrival of increasing numbers of refugees, the dream of europe, and end up here. the french overseas territory is simply too small, under pressure for migration to be like many inhabitants accessing a few neglect states by the central government in far away europe. focused on us. next, on d, w. islands along the river are home to the challenges of bangladesh. every 6 months, their land, it's funny,

does actually move to the last few, but peter reassessed that. i'm funny, the outdated, populated stuff to do with the never ending cycle of destruction and rebuilding the in 45 minutes on the w. the news, this time, exogenous transgender meets the voices of the 3 turkey author. as the ad one had to flee into exile, i knew the police would search my house. courageous people are trying to stem of the turkish governments all sorts of hands. gibbs, but only if the crime is addressed and the public trying to take responsibility for

his actions. guardians of trees? stop march 2nd on d w. the . this is focus on europe. i'm lara. babel a nice to have you with us. athletes from around the world are training for the summer olympics in paris, but since rush it invaded ukraine through years ago, the games are becoming increasingly politicized. the olympic values of solidarity friendship and fair play are being tested by division and war. the decision to allow russian athletes to compete in paris under a new.
