the, the dw do's live from berlin tonight, and germany's parliament rejecting sending long range missiles to ukraine, at least for now, while makers in parliament today voted against sending towards cruise missiles. but the back, sending further, military support to help keep beat back russians. invasion was also coming up tonight. a new front may be opening up in the united states over reproductive rights. the state of alabama ruling that frozen embryos can be considered children, which calls one hospital to stop for 2 of the treatments and the body ministration, saying you wants to defuse the migrant prices. so why the volunteers along the

border with mexico say they're working with 0 government support? the i break off, it's good to have you with this on this thursday. and we start right here in berlin today in germany's parliament voted against sending tours cruise missiles to ukraine. and at the same time it back to move to provide further but less specific military support for keep opposition. lawmakers in parliament had been calling for the german government to deliver the wong rage towards cruise missiles. until now, the government, as blocked deliveries of the powerful weapons on the grounds that they could be used to strike targets deep inside russia. the rejection comes on the 10th anniversary, must gales annexation of crimea to after billions,

have been pumped into defense and spending already. many also you see this as a watershed moment for how germany's armed forces will look for decades to call german chancellor. all off short on his defense minister preaching their elbows into it. you're reaching the ground on a new i munition plant earlier this month. the writing natal factory will eventually char note $200000.00. hillary shells per year underlining efforts to run pop for adoption. does this, 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 barrel ends focus was on peace offering kia little more than head gear, nevada phones, 1010. we will send 5000 helmets out as a clear message that we stand by this side. i the since then,

they sent battle tanks. how it says irish t defend 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 its force 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 britain 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. the defense spending is growing again at the height of the cold war. west german spend up to 5 percent of g d, p on security that decreased 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. was the development of the industry. what i mentioned to that all has to fit 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? so the driven parliament has both rejected motion to specifically deliver the tourist cruise missiles to ukraine. it approved a measure to provide ukraine with more military support. so does this mean no, to the tories missiles forever? we put that into german lawmaker alexander mood, already defense and spokesman for the free democratic party. i think there was

a chance of costs. um, we, you know, we, we need it the one year to deliver the price tags to ukraine and we have apartments, we wanted it. and we have decided they said later on the also the security council has voters in table. they send, we have delivered times, we have delivered so many things. i'm sure that also our crews besides the one they will be teaching, but it's all right. we go now to the united states and the state of alabama. it's the largest hospital has suspended. it's in vitro fertilization treatments following a court ruling that said, frozen embryos or fertilized eggs are the legal equivalent of children. it said that it must evaluate whether it's patients or doctors can face criminal charges or punitive damages for offering and being involved in in vitro fertilization. treatments the ruling by the all republican alabama supreme court has put into

question the future of i d f, which is considered one of the best treatments for patients. he wants to have children, but struggle to conceive natural warranty on joining to by professor dwayne co into the harvard law school, he's a leading expert on medical ethics professor. it's good to have you with this. um, let me just start by asking you, what does this really mean for people who are in alabama and are already in the process of receiving idea 3 yeah. so the case was about on the alabama wrongful death of a minor statute, in the case arose out of destruction, of embryos by mouth fees and allegedly, by the back. so that you know, that one of the largest providers in alabama has announced that they're going to suspend the us. there will be a question about whether people who already have frozen embryos to transfer them to

another state for example. so when it comes to people who are starting now, if they're gonna have a tough time finding an alabama, this one going to freeze their embryos and can you just store them? is that the king smell in alabama, a doctor who performs an idea of treatment. it could be what sued, yes, into the wrong soul, on that statue support statute to that civil liability. right. so the idea is that you could be sued just as you would be if you cause the death of a minor, for example. so significant amount of liability and there are also questions about whether this interpretation the judge trip to the majority, calls them extra or uterine children. whether that definition of what is a child under alabama law will be expanded. dr. statutes include the criminal law. well, it is an interesting term i'm. it is one to some i've never seen before. extra uterine children are in and that comes from the alabama supreme court. the wording of the

court. i'm also include several references to god. is there a problem manage in your opinion? of just just looking at things said, you know, clearly through a judicial lance, here's a real stand. assistant chief justice parker is concurrence. he talks about the idea that it would be at front to himself capital age for god. and this idea that the wrath of god might befall people. it's highly unusual to say this kind of language is claim is that alabama by several statutes is past the constitutional amendment. as indicated, this is the view of the people of alabama. but i can say, if you're not a member of is you do a christian religion, it would seem quite unusual thing to be told. this is the law of alabama, that god is a part of that outlaw. but that is a d. but she just as parker's it how, how does this really, how does it relate to the abortion of question in the united states?

and i'm wondering to, with idea of treatment you're trying to do to help a couple conceive. and yet you're saying under this ruling, a doctor could be accused of, of what killing or hurting a child or how does, how does the, how does that make sense? uh, yeah, this is the exact, uh, i think, right question to ask for this. actually, the idea here is we have a couple who basically lost their chance to reproduce, lost their trance, to use their embryos and they brought as lawsuit. but the end result is it may be nobody can use either the finale of amazon for in terms of abortion. politics this case can be seen as part of the larger moving image is called the personhood movement. in the decision of dogs be jackson and united states, robi way it was over turned in theory, returning this question to the states. but there was a group of people who was there not to be a state by a state decision on abortion, but instead of federal laws, to abortion, branding, abortion across the entire united states. and one way to achieve that is to get an

interpretation of the constitution that fetus is indeed, perhaps embryos are persons under the 14th amendment. and this is a part of that strategy or to be seen as a part of that strategy. yeah, yeah. but it apparently has worked at least in alabama doing cohen with harvard law . we appreciate your time in your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. the issue of migration is taking centers age in the united states and the run up to november's presidential elections. this as the number of migrants arriving in the us reach the record high at the end of last year. now, well, political battle lines on the border policies between republicans and democrats are well established in washington, volunteers, helping migrants, trying to cross the border or losing hope that there is a political will to solve this problem on the ground. the w corresponded benjamin alvarez, group of reports tonight from the us mexico 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, but they will come for that the low book a certain way already. we're trying it to, you know, because most of nicaraguans who cross will be address and address the say they will send them back, load the word. yes, that is why we're trying our luck here. what is it will come with the law? was your best case? time was going to what you meant that we are here now. suffering luxury a. he'll illiterate escape 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 mean, they know that they don't mind and 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 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 only 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 locals, along with other volunteers that have been taking care of newly arrived migrants for months. it leaves me very disappointed. it's to, 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 volunteer scanned 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 a 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 stirred road over there. they would pack sometimes up to 12 people in a single small you see the volunteers say the strategy of detouring 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 lots of media attention to the talk, but you see anything change? i haven't good news with this group of new to arrive 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. and that report was filed by my colleague benjamin alvarez gruber, who joins me now from washington. which is good to see you, and i know that during the bite and administration, the numbers of illegal immigrants in the united states has basically doubled it as a legal because we know that not everyone crossing that border is, is, can legally seek asylum, has a legitimate claim with that in mind. what motivates these volunteers that you spoke with? that's right, and that's exactly what volunteers has been telling us also when we met them at the board that they need to be more legal ways to come into the united states. john,

we just saw the in the piece and the report told us that it's hard for him to sleep at night without doing something about it in his father, sam, who also it was featured in the p 70 can stand it seeing people sitting in the dead with no water and with no food because along with other volunteers, both have been helping of migrants for months now. and they said that before january of this year the we're averaging about $500.00 people a day, stating them to meals a day. they're the 1st contact is a good see they're not just for food and warm clothing and, but also if the some medical problem, there are the 1st people they talk to the see if they can do something or they need to be referred to another it to another expert, another professional, it because the donations that are collected, they are in a youth center and name how come about let spring through at the border and from barrow taking to different places. there is no routine. they told us every day is different. there's no way of knowing who will arrive, where they will arrive and what is going to happen. it wants to reach the camp,

but they have to stay there usually for a few hours before border patrol comes and reduced to them as well. so. so at the end of that piece, and basically we know that the president biden has now threatened to use executive power due to basically say, you know, if you're, if you're coming across the southern border, that you maybe can't claim a silent would be. that is something that is very similar to what we saw under the trump administration, or is that connection being made there in the us? it's absolutely, it's not that different what he's proposing. visa media reports that say that the white house is actually considering executive action to restrict the migrant ability to seek asylum at the us mexico border. and that's exactly what volunteers of the border and immigration advocates happened, demanding it for months. now, what the administration is trying to do is to signal that the white house is in putting more effort to show that they were aggressive from border security. a had of the different elections that are happening either of the primaries and of course

out of the presidential election in november. but a lot of democrats criticized is one of them was congress woman, alexandria would cost you a cortez. she said, doing trump impressions isn't how we be trump seeking asylum is a legal right of all people. and then she also went on going in the feasible force area threat. we should not back learn all principles. we should it commit to them. the mere suggestion is outrages and the president should refuse it to sign it. so let's see what comes out of it. let's see how the administration to bind the minister should continues pressing that. but of course, migration is the topic that was here in the united states. ahead of the upcoming presidential election in migration. but if people are probably this story is also connected to military aid for ukraine, for example, or for, for is real talk to me about that nexus this right, this has been an ongoing debate you in the us,

we had weeks of discussions and then the us senate finally passed to bill the supplemental that includes age for israel, 8 for ukraine, also $841.00, but 3 is as strong resistance from republicans close to for my president. and donald trump and the likely republican newman need to be the new president of this country. the speaker of the house of representatives, that latch by republicans this resisted pressure is from the white house to call a vote on the bill. because republicans say that border security needs to come 1st before helping the allies. so we have bite and administration officials who have spent last week into munich of the security conference a showing in town to parts of washington will continue helping ukraine is at face as of a russian regression. it for the 3rd year now. yeah, that's through entering your number 3. dw is benjamin alvarez group with the latest from washington. benjamin, thank you are just looking out some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. alexis,

of all these mother has accused russian investigators are trying to stage a secret funeral for her son. she says that she's seen her son's body and is resisting pressure to avoid a public funeral. of all his family alleged that the kremlin murdered him. an allegation that the kremlin has a really rejected the court in spain has found the former in barcelona football or donnie alvarez, guilty of raping of women and the night club sexual assault took place on december 31st of 2022. elbows has been sent in still 4 and a half years in prison. court also ordered that the 40 year old should pay his victim a 150000 years. of this can appeal the birth to one person. his dad did at least 7 more. a wounded following and attacked, and a check point. and these really occupied westbank, we say, published any gunman opened fire on motorists who were stuck in

a traffic jam. 2 of the attackers were killed. a 3rd was with us delegation is on a 3 day visit to taiwan to reassure the island of it. support us, lawmakers saying, and i'm quoting here, try one must remain as it stands today, a candle burning freely, fiercely and improbably against the darkness. we have the bi partisan delegation, includes some of the strongest critics of china in the us congress. they are meeting the current time when he's president site and when and the incoming president licensee. the visit comes at the time of increasing military activities from china around 5. well, it was the middle east is playing a leading role at this year's berlin international film festival. one big talking point is the doctor and the re no other lab. they film collaboratively directed by

an is really jewish journalist and a palestinian activist and still me best alondra lives in the westbank, in a village in the south of hebron. a feeling of helplessness, an 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 worldwide. palestinian houses even schools are destroyed. the camera becomes baffled weapon. when a substitute in making difficulty was not easy. first of all, you faced with us a lot of jobs from the soldiers, but the same time it didn't. my sense that it's the only 2 that came on to have left within the world. 117 is really journalist, your wall is always by his side is what their friendship develops across all the conflicts and differences.

what's both of those stories, not just differently, if you know a jewish nope is our understanding our shared values that we think the v c. before he needs to answer the patient needs to end and we are willing to fight for it together. well, that's huge. the fairly knowledge is promoting off screen dialogue to the tiny space is a project started by the german, palestinian of mcdonalds 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 was the place and come to the developing of what we need spaces for dialogue spaces for together on spaces 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 barely knowledge visitors

talking about the middle east conflict. at least it would be start in no other land. it is this understanding across the divide that connects people to the documentary film is made from the footage best. so, and you've all put together under the most difficult conditions before. i mean, we did this in a case most of the field went armies entering and stealing the computers and beating buses. and really that i feel faced 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, the nigerian city of law goes recently banned to the use of styrofoam and other single use plastics. now the new is aimed at tackling decades of environmental

from our perspective, it has to be 1st mental because as people change behavior, they will also change the way that connect with the use of plastic at different levels, the conversation around plastic i me see fit must be do me see 5 people must see themselves in the conversation. i'm on the conversation. legal stage says between back up it's band with checks on produce sense and distributes is along with fines to help pay for the cost of cleaning your what you need to be using. kind of get mixed onto dw news africa, the threats of violence and drought in ethiopia. millions of people struggling to feed themselves in the north of the country to have a special report and lights camera action will have a look at the african films in the spotlight at this year's berlin international film festival. it's coming up next. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more
