a post simeon activist and filmmaker the sarah kelly. welcome to the program. germany's parliament has rejected and opposition motion to deliver tourist cruise missiles to ukraine, despite pressure building on berlin to step up its military support for keys. law makers have been calling for the german government to deliver the long range tourist missiles to the rejection in parliament comes as politicians to fate. their next commitment on the 10 year anniversary of russia's antics ation of crimea. until now, the government has locked deliveries of the missiles on the grounds that they could be used to stripe target deep inside russian territory. 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 on his defense minister, preaching their elbows into it. you're reaching the ground gonna 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 kia a little more than head gear, nevada phones, tablets, and tell them we will send 5000, tell them that 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 rushes 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. and 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. it 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 builds it's production capacity and bolsters. it's military. the question know is whether tax payers are willing to fit the bill and we would like to 0 and again, on the part of that report that focused on the long range torres cruise missiles, chancellor schultz has been reluctant to okay. delivery of the tourist to ukraine, reportedly fearing that it could be used to attack targets deep inside russia. we want to get an opposition party viewpoint. now, thomas silva hahn is a member of the german parliament from the conservative csu party and a former state secretary within the german defense ministry. a welcome to you and thank you so much for your time. we know now that parliament has rejected the

motion from your party to deliver the tourist missiles to ukraine. what is your message today for the chancellor as well? that sounds that i've promised already 2 years ago that we will support ukraine as long as it takes. but this is not enough, the ukraine must prevail, otherwise put in that will continue to follow his imperialistic plans to watch the entire european territory. and that's why as long as it takes is not enough. we have to deliver, we have to support the ukraine to the maximum extent of the benchmark, use what the ukraine and really needs on the balance that we we have been hearing some reporting and we understand that despite this 1st vote against the delivery of the tourist missiles the parliament still intends to give the chancellor the option to send them to ukraine. do you though?

i mean, just like to ask you for the bigger picture here? do you not share the chancellor's worries about the missiles being used to attack inside russia and how provocative that would be? no, i don't share this a few of the possible escalation because put in will escalate when he wants. and that's why a, the decisive action the ukraine needs, is to destroy the logistics lines behind the front lines. and therefore, a long distance weapons are needed and told her was, would be a perfect means to do so. how are you handling, you know, the possible situation though with ukraine, if germany does indeed deliver these missiles, do you think that germany needs to get some sort of firm promised from ukraine that it would not use them inside russia? this is a possible subject of agreements the ukraine kept or these

agreements they made with us so far. so there is no concern at all from my sides towards the ukraine. but in substance, our debate and parliament today made some progress. the coalition factions agreed that the, the russian annexation of ukraine and territory will never be accepted by germany. this is consensus among the opposition and the ruling parties. and it has been explicitly stated that the ukraine has the right under public international law to re establish ukraine and sovereignty in these territories that have been annexed by russia, including the crimea, and the don't yet skin to hands. so it's explicitly stated that the boundaries of 1991 the benchmark for ukraine to re establish its territorial integrity

beyond the providing of weapons. and we've been talking about the tourist in particular, of course, i'd like to ask you about the funding and, and the a that is being provided to ukraine and the us congress. right now. we've all been hearing about this big impasse on providing more. it's a to ukraine. how do you see that changing the calculation here in germany and it is the pressure higher now on germany to offer all that it can i think we all have to understand in the western world that this a tag afresh. again, sue crane is an attack against peace and stability in the entire where some vote. and the interest of putting, of course, is to divide the rest some democracies. that's why we have to step up our commitments to assume green to the, to the maximum extent, to the extent that is needed for ukraine to prevail in this war. in substance, what is required from us is only support by financial means and by military

equipment and ammunition, the ukrainians fight for themselves, and they do serve our support. for example, we in germany, we made a long way from the 5000 helmets that has been mentioned in your report of 2 now. 18000000000 zeros for military support only. but the regular costs of this russian war against ukraine are much higher for germany. we are suffering from a growing enterprises. for example, we are hosting some millions refugees in germany, so the real costs can not be found into books, but they have to be taken by our society. and that's why the most effective way to end this war is to support ukraine, military and financially. and it's in the same way the cheapest way for us to support you. train thomas silver horn member of the german parliament for the

conservative csu party. thank you. thank you. in the south of the gaza strip, over a 1000000 displace, palestinians are struggling to access even the basic needs for survival. and the city of rasa, one of the biggest concerns is water. the lack of it is helping the spread of disease. and there is no sign of relief of the a frantic and daily routine en route. so fetching to water by somebody, my son is small, the needs walter. i bring him see was there, but he refuses, it were unable to wash. we don't have clean clothes. there's no water, there's no food. the rest of the world has food for this situation here is dire. we need water to live without water. there is no light up the long line forms every day on this beach. around one and

a half 1000000 people are now believe to be crammed into the southern gas and safety of rafa resident say, the lack of clean water and food is causing disease to spread and this is about, well, you're fine. so now they've been sending you a for an ard to click what those interest you have on the all these people are waiting that on the way on it, but not all of them will get want to remind you off of them, we miss. all right. i don't know if like this every day the the world food program has signed it the alarm. once again, i've had the gravity of conditions in god's depending on where you well, it ranges from emergency levels, but it goes all the way up to catastrophic levels. you find that there are people who have missed meals for a day or 2 days or 3 days. they have severe hunger. but you also have people who

have acute hunger. that is, they are not eating for weak agency say they're concerned about the possibility of famine and gaza. a dream warning comes as fighting continues. and here are some other stories making headlines around the world for one person instead, and at least 7 more wounded. following an attack in his check point and b is really occupied. westbank police say that coach simeon gunman opened fire on motorists who were stuck in a traffic jam. 2 of the attackers were killed. a 3rd was one that i'll be is, parliament has ratified a deal with it to lead to build processing centers for migrants. the plan allows the balkan country to hold thousands of asylum seekers picked up in international waters by italy with their claims being processed. human rights groups have expressed concerns about the deal while the uses the agreement as

a possible future template accord in spain has found former barcelona football or any owls as guilty of raping a woman in a night club. the sexual assault took place on december 31st 2022. alvarez has been sentenced to 4 and a half years in prison. the court also ordered the 40 year olds to pay his victim. 150000 bureaus. owls as can appealed the verdict. with us lawmakers visiting taiwan have accused china of bullying the self ruled island, where i move, a bi partisan congressional delegation is holding 3 days of meetings with taiwan top theaters. the visit focused on regional security and trade comes at a time when divisions in congress have found questions about washington's commitment to his partners. and the issue of migration is taking center stage in the united states in the run up to november's presidential elections. this is the

number of migrants arriving, and b, u. s. reached a record high at the end of last year. all 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. to the view correspondence, benjamin alvarez gruber reports now from the us mexican border to 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 and reasons, months, many of them from latin america that will come forward at the low book a custom way already. we're trying to, you know, because most of nicaragua is who cross will be address and address the say they will send them back a little bit. well, yes, that is why we're trying our luck here. but as we'll come with the law, let's say best case time was going to be meant that we are here now. suffering

luxury, a hill illustrious 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 says they don't cause i meant they don't have that on my end i'm, i don't know, i'm for support. most of these belong to you as a helping them warm clothing after a rainy night and food. many had no tends to sleep and 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. they have been taking care of newly arrived migrants for months. it leaves me very disappointed. it's and quite frankly, kind of absurd, that 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 that that's just not here. daily the volunteer scanned the area along the voted for people, the so called cent, judas, brake and gap and the board defense 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 in 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 detouring might or and 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, a lot to talk a lot the 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. forrest form and as a political analyst at bard college in berlin, i asked him why it's been so hard for president fight in to get the us congress to work out a deal on migration as 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 has been multiple

attempts, starting with mccain and a few other we can kind of do build it sometimes a place of shifting, bi 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 described as polarization 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 5 and the same is true. we know that on trump also didn't want this to go to pass because he sees migration as a major, major issue and subject for his own campaign. i think that's one part of the story . another part is also that 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. the yeah, much is that, 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 code of conduct, but also fueled by political and stability in a lot of different context of, of us was particularly important as obviously to invest in american classics. 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 folders. 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 in 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 the 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, the, 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 wants to deal with an executive order. so is 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 bibles position and migration and i think he wants to take some of the momentum overalls a trumps contain by saying, well, the, the built, the border patrol field because of the republicans, which here's what i'm offering, instead of talk a little bit more about trump coast, 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 anti migrant rhetoric and is 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. 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 politic and the at the american a block 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 it's basically arguing, been arguing for redistribution versus why it 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. oh boy is actually we're actually belongs with a true america. 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 to understand this. we have to leave at the air force form and afford college berlin. thank you. thanks berlin, international film festival, known as the berlin allah has a reputation for being the most political of the a list film festivals. so it's no big surprise that the current situation in the middle east is playing a leading role at this year's filmmakers summit. one big talking point is the documentary no other land, a film collaboratively directed by an as rarely jewish journalist. and they posted in active best and filmmaker are the best allowed for a lives in the westbank in

a village in the south of hebron. feeling of helplessness and anger is what initially led him to start filming that is rarely army in his village on his phone . every day the films evictions which caused outreach world wide palestinian houses even schools are destroyed. the camera becomes baffled weapon when a substitute and difficulty was not easy. this, well, you faced with us a lot of jobs from the soldiers, but the symptom, it didn't. my sense that it's the only 2 that came out to have left within the world, which is really journalist you well, is always by his side to their friendship develops across all the complex and differences. what both of those stories not just differentiated, you know, adjacent know is our understanding our shared values that we think that we see me,

what if you need to and you can face, it needs to end and we are willing to fight for it together. well that's future fairly knowledge is promoting off screen dialogue to the tiny space is a project started by the german, palestinian. i'm at the most and jewish german shy huffman. the thing when you, we want to create a relatively small, tiny space, a tiny house where you can talk very intimately and personally about your feelings about this will to present come to the development of all we need spaces for the dialogue spaces for together enough space is that also breaks the logic of violence? it's the task of civil society to at least show alternatives. we can offer opportunities for dialogue, at least on a small scale. i think the tiny house wants to get fairly dollar visitors talking about the middle east conflict. at least it would be start and in no other land.

it is this understanding across the divide that connects people to the documentary film is made from the footage basso and you've all put together under the most difficult conditions before we indicate somebody at the most of the field when the armies entering and stealing the computers and beating the buses and really that i feel patient duvall and facile side by side at the world. premiere of a film default for to complete receiving an ovation for their courage and openness . a quick reminder of our top story here in dw news. the german parliament has rejected an opposition motion to send long range missiles to ukraine. the decision coming as politicians to base their next commitment of a to keith on the 10th anniversary of precious amex nation of crimea.

next it is focused on europe, looking at one of ukraine's wrestler's bid to win a metal at the paris olympics to stay with us. if you can for that i'm sarah kelly and berlin. thank you so much for watching the

attention of the islands. my aunt, seeing us soon as frustrated by the arrival of increasing numbers of refugees, dream of europe and end up here. the french overseas territory is simply too small and the pressure for migration to be like many inhabitants assessing nephews, neglected by the central government in far away europe. focused on human next, on d. w. truly treated
