the the, this is dw news lives from violin, the job and trunk, the rules out sending weston ground troops to you cried. he joined several european leaders in down, playing the idea as opposite french president and menu. in my call signals, european, i'm nato troops, could be needed to fight against russia, also coming out hopes for a safe spot. and goza us president joe biden says he thinks a deal between israel and thomas can be reached by next week in time for the muslim holy month of ramadan. the

hi, there are many groups mckinnon. welcome to the program. european leaders have been walking back suggestions by the french president and money. what am i call that european ground troops could be deployed in ukraine at a conference of european leaders by could ukraine. my call said quotes, nothing could be ruled out of the kremlin, has wardens but sending weston ground troops would mount a dangerous escalation germantown, so that what i felt is one of several european leaders downplaying the idea beyond the traditional double. but this good kid we obviously discussed, we used to arrange for the support of this type of data by it's not enough for a very good debate. we decided that what was agreed from the outset desktop also applies to the future. and then under test skill these problems, namely that there will be no ground troops missed us as kind to know soldiers on ukrainian, sorry to stop also send there by european countries that are need those states some

stop and the not the stop and alternative sick patton, the w's chief political let us send me to electricity gave us the take on these contradictory statements made by the french president and the drum and trump. so it looks more of a contradiction then it necessarily is because what we didn't hear, the french president say is that he was committed to actually sending troops. he just refuses to rule anything out. and if anything that highlights a very different outlook on security, on strategic security communication, the french idea, which is also a nuclear power, is one of a strategic acuity at to leave the other side guessing, and clearly want to them and sounds the soul is building on in what he sees as a way to avoid any escalation is to create a certainty in a way, a commitment towards ross guaranteeing that

a german troops would certainly not become part of this conflict. so as to european leaders who are necessarily pledging anything different at this moment in time, but you have one refusing to roll out ground troops and the other one seeing this as a basis to create potential disc kalazan that is determined tanza by saying that won't be any german troops under any circumstances in ukraine? okay, now ukraine is of cool saying that it desperately needs more weston support and its fights against russia. and yet the german chancellor said this week that germany wouldn't be sending taurus messiahs to ukraine. can you remind us why he doesn't want to do that as well? tours a high tech long range missiles and that's the concern and on the drum and side that they could be used on russian territory. we are seeing similar results,

although not quite as powerful being sent by person and by fonts and the same results. so for the 1st time went public yesterday, indicating that controlling the targets of those missiles requires involvement of those countries who are supplying the solves and that's something the government's honda has fully ruled out and he sees himself into with a german public that let's take a listen, besides it a 100, but i don't think much of it at all this for this. i think he must have gone completely crazy to even say that and to even consider such a thing. because that's basically i want the word and as soon as possible in advance or there is a negotiation should take place. this is that's my conviction and it remains my conviction, the very, very difficult position. and for germany in particular, i think it's historical and incredibly, incredibly high. it's really tough. i really don't have any opinion at the moment

the to a surprising for me because it might also mean a new career was. so i think it's a very difficult decision, but i also really liked the support to create and yeah, so for his at the moment that's much the issue is i don't want that. i simply don't want it. of course, like everyone else, i want the word and i know it's very difficult. i didn't muscle gwen who definitely should have been and okay, so some opinions left from people here in berlin. really sort of showing how complex this is, which is why we say let the people here in germany all feeling increasingly anxious about the grand possibility of being dragged into this full. but i wouldn't say that people are acutely consigned, but they certainly don't want many to become a posse in this. and this is what determines on, so it keeps value repeatedly. we're also seeing polling that upwards of 2 thirds of

demons are concerned that germany could get more involved, get dragged into conflict. it doesn't want, at the same time, there is great support for supporting ukraine. but clearly the red line that the chancellor is drawing very publicly and politically at this moment in time is very much in tune with what done and expect from them and so on. so that who otherwise is actually she would be unpopular with a complete know of a round 20 percent only be satisfied with his performance. it's also worth noting that this is a very different picture from the baltic states who are fearing an acute threat from vasa. so geography, definitely mazda is here, and the big question is, what say full full european support will have in the future, particularly with through bite and having about to support ukraine as long as he can no longer as long as it takes me. sure. and i thank you so much for that.

that's the w, as chief for the school address and mckayla customer. now, us president joe biden says, but he is hurtful. i see 5 deals. the goal is that can be reached by next week towards all happening. and katasha right now that right is to secure a pause in the slicing and exchange for the release of his riley hostages, taken during the hum of terror attacks on. so obviously with the 7th speaking to reporters in new york, president bite and set an agreement was within reach. well, i hope, by the week after the end of the week, my, my not security adviser tells me that we're close because it's not done yet. my hope is by next monday, bosa, how must official speaking to the royce is news agency says bivens comments do not match the situation on the ground. he said there was still gaps that need to be bridge before a c slot agreement can be reached. is ralph,
