the, the, this is the w news live from the german trump flow lot sites rules out sending weston ground troops to ukraine. he joined several european leaders in down, playing the idea. as of the french president, my call signaled european and nato troops could be needed to fight russia. also coming up on the program hopes for a ceasefire in goal of the us president job buys and says he thinks a deal between israel and come up can be reached by next week in time for the muslims who the month of ramadan. the
5:01 pm
menu group is making an welcome to the program. european leaders have been walking back suggestions by the french president and manually. my call that you were a pin ground troops could be deployed in ukraine at a conference of european leaders back in ukraine. mccall said, quote, nothing could be ruled out of the kremlin, has warned. the sending west and ground troops would mark a dangerous escalation. the drum and trunk flo will, i'm sure it is one of several european leaders now down playing 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 does, does also applies to the future and conflict on the physically for miss. namely that there will be no ground troops and meet us as kind. the no soldiers on ukrainian, sorry to stop and i'll send there. but you be in countries that are need,
5:02 pm
those dates in some stop in the for not the stop and alternative. sick patton w's chief political edited mikaela customer gave us her take on the contradictory statements made by the french president and the german counsellor. 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 root any thing 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 him 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 russ guaranteeing that
5:03 pm
a german troops would certainly not become part of this conflict. so it's 2 european leaders who aren't 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 west and support and it's fights against russia. and yet the german trunk list 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,
5:04 pm
although not quite as powerful being sent by person and by fonts and the same results. so for the 1st time when public yes, today indicating that controlling the targets of those missiles requires involvement of those countries who are supplying themselves. and that's something the government's honda has fully ruled out and he sees himself into with the german public that let's take a listen. besides it a 100, but i don't think much of a $100.00 for this. i think you must have gone completely crazy to even say that and to even consider such a thing succeed goods. that's basically i want the word and as soon as possible in advance or there is a negotiation should take place with us as 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 hot. it's really tough. i really don't have a need for me. and at the moment to do
5:05 pm
a surprising for me because it might also mean a new key or was so i think it's a very difficult decision, but i also really like to support ukraine. and yeah, so for his, at the moment, that's most the issue. 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 must salt when, who definitely should have your name. okay, so some opinions left from people here in berlin. really sort of showing how complex this is. would you say, michelle, other people here in germany all feeling increasingly anxious about the grand possibility of being drugged into this will of the but i wouldn't say that people are to be consigned, but they certainly don't want many to become a posse in this. and this is what the government's 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,
5:06 pm
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 the germans, hans, that who otherwise is actually she would be unpopular with a complete know of a round 20 percent only be satisfied with his performance is 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 vowed 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 political address
5:07 pm
and mckayla customer of the us president terabyte and says that he is hopeful a ceasefire. they also gauze a can be reached by next week talks all happening in guitar right now. their aim is to secure a pause in the face, hitting an exchange for the release of his rarely hostages, who were taken during the homeless terror attacks. on october, the 7th speaking to reporters in new york, president biden said an agreement was within reach. well, i hope by the week after the end of the week, my, my not security advisor tells me that we're close because it's not done yet. my hope is why next monday but i'm off officials speaking to the reuters news agency says biden's comments don't match the situation on the ground. he said there are still gaps that needs to be bridge before a cease fire agreement can be reached. israel says any les up in the slicing will
5:08 pm
only be temporary on the ground operations and rough, uh, uh, the only way to eliminate how most flights is from suspected positions. the, the is really middle tree has reportedly shown as rails will cabinets, its plum, evacuating civilians from combat to areas. but no details have been released on with those displays. people could actually go these women and children are among the victims. 2 after it is rarely or striking through the building in southern garza, some survivors are still looking for their loved ones. they were targeted with a miss, so there was a huge explosion on the building collapsed. we will cover the people including women and a child who was 7 years old, and they're also injured people including my sons. israel has been
5:09 pm
carrying out air strikes and ralph off for weeks, despite some 1400000 palestinians seeking safety in the city. israel says it's ground invasion, a for alpha is inevitable. it's convinced how mosque leaders are hiding there and that it's necessary to push in to ruffle, to achieve at school, of eliminating the group. but international organizations, warren, such an advance would have catastrophic implications for civilians. there all the ease, valuable fillasy from the city would not only be terrifying for more than a 1000000 policy. you know, civilian shopping there. you to put the final nail in the coffin of all would age programs according to you and triggers. the amount of a delivered in recent weeks has decreased mainly due to the regular closures of crossing points and military operations. the drop and aid comes amid the deepening
5:10 pm
hunger crisis across the territory. and i met in the army and my son is supposed to have milk as a newborn beef, natural milk, a formula. but i wasn't able to get to milk because there's no book in gaza, and the circumstances are tough. there's no milk and no food in gaza. the see and i can forward in pair shoot it much needed supplies into gauze on monday. but many, if you're the 8 system could collapse entirely, it is rarely ground troops entered last limited refuge for palestinians in garza. or at least analysts shown here as honest as here in this to do with me. hi. hi sony. so sony, um, we're seeing quite a lot of movement here on we in terms of sort of talk about the ceasefire. um, but there are lots of details still in the air on that. there aren't many and here
5:11 pm
the guitar is just talking this morning saying there's nothing that's been finalized. he has to bring him off. and israel, we know that at her mom's spokesperson also said there's too many gaps that need to be bridge. and one of the key issues is how do we even, what is it on the table? it's, we're talking about a cease fire, a truce, but most demands a stop to fight. and you want israel to come and make a commitment that it's not going to resume a ground operation of god. so something is real is refusing to do so. this is still a very much the heart of the matter and still disputed. and of course, is all the back and forth in regards to how many prisoners will be released in exchange for how many are hostages. these are more of the minor details, but still is a lot still to be worked through. okay, and meanwhile, israel, it seems absolutely intent on sticking to it's planned start this sort of full scale, offensive and rough. but despite the, you know, the grow and chorus of international criticism, well, is there a wants to be seen like that at least you don't want it to. now it's important to
5:12 pm
send that message. so the idea is ready and can go on and into the next phase of the ground operation, meaning, going into off, because he feels that that's is only leverage if he wants to get anything for the mazda to agree to concessions. he feel like a rough is the one thing that he has to, that he can use. and therefore he tries to portray this, this image of this is what we're doing next. we know, however, the, technically, there's still many stages to be before that is even possible. there's more than $1000000.00 palestinians who found refuge in gauze or from all other parts of, of the gaza strip, and they need to be evicted. this is something his role is committed to. so that would be the 1st step before anything else happens, paint shiny, stay with us, but just a moment because we're going to get an update on rasa now was slicing so close to the egyptian border. it is testing israel's friendly relations with its neighbor. i take a look right on the border with egypt. it's rafa to each crammed with around $1400000.00 people,
5:13 pm
many displaced from other parts of the gods. a strip conditions there are dire with shortages of food and water. egypt has warned against them as rarely grind defensive. they're saying it would result in more civilian casualties. egypt has had peaceful relations with israel since a peace treaty was signed between the 2 countries in 1979. our club, but a gibson president of delphi to c. c, as being a vocal in his condemnation of israel's operations in its war against thomas thought as though with display scoggins. having nowhere else to go, it could lead to intense pressure on them to escape the enclave. into egypt, cyanide peninsula, a situation, cairo wants to avoid egypt along with several other arab countries. fair israel, it wouldn't allow them to return onto the terms of the 1979 peace treaty the
5:14 pm
cyanide peninsula. i'm the guys that border are 18 minutes arise zone. since the october 7th attacks, egypt has been beefing of border security with more troops of the gods of frontier with his riley consent. egypt also appears to be building 8 fortified area there. cairo has for the past decade already being creating a massive buffer zone as part of it security, coordination with these rail. part of that as being the destruction of tunnels from its territory into gaza, which were used for smuggling is another issue. testing relations between the 2 countries is a narrow demilitarised strip of land that separates egypt and gaza, known as the philadelphia car door. a suggestion by is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, that he wanted israel to take control of the car door has angered cairo,
5:15 pm
is this elusive method lease is up the most despite the current tens of relations between egypt and israel. any attempt by cairo to walk away from its peace accord with these rail could prove very costly. egypt economy is struggling and it would risk losing the billions of dollars of usaid it receives as part of the 1979. 3 g. m. at least analysts shawnee or is on is still here with me. shawnee tell us what is it that makes rough us so important? especially for egypt overall f i is a city that is divided for many years. the majority of which is in to a policy and part of goes out and part of it is and is in egypt and for the egyptian president right from the start. this was the red line here. you know, there's a big crossing of the border there. and any breach up into a different territory that's, that's a red line that the, the president has side of the see present us. and he's not willing to, to see happening. there's a figure that it means that the term, you know, it, knowing this region and the dynamics and it's anything that is temporary,
5:16 pm
it can end up very much being, you know, a permanent solution for the pals to him. the problem with just something the addiction to not want to see happening cuz they were afraid that would be you know, a clearing optimist for israel instead of, of israel itself. we know that the tensions are so high that that is really a head of the military and the head of the she met the secret service, have made it to egypt last week to ease up tensions and assure the, the addictions that there is not going to be as far as, as well, is concerned at trying to push palestinians refugees into egypt is nothing that they are planning on or, or at least not anything that they're going to be intentionally pursuing. because we know that ramadan, the muslim holy month is just weeks away. now, what role does ramadan play here? i mean, you know, israel is when it's options and it's war against thomas west to go next. how important is rhonda in these calculations? what very much, you mean, officially documents and you know, you talked to other people in his cabinet, they say, you know, we're not gonna, we're going to disregard ramadan because we were attacked on october 7th and i'll,
5:17 pm
or holy days. so the homeless itself as shown 0 respect to religious needs. however, when we talk about rail, pull the ticket, we're talking about this region. we're talking about other products that israel is dealing with. what it comes to is really arabs within is really territory for talking about the west bank. it's clear that fighting through ramadan will be crossing some sort of line and a very delicate balance that is there and my bring is more problems. of course, the international community is against that, and so the americans right from the get go, is this round of talks setup from and on as a deadline, hoping it will help all sides to some of the escalate. come down and, and see that as, as it as a beginning of, of entering a new phase of the escalation and some, some relief to this terrible try to do, to proceed unfolding and gaza every day. w, middle east analyst on the result of this. thank you so much, honey. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. now in thousands of people across nigeria riley and your guys high inflation and will
5:18 pm
stare, receive messages, government will because of put down a nationwide strike that could shut down t services. africans largest economy is facing its worst economic prices and in generation, leaving many struggling to for food. the european parliament has pos to build aims to protect nature across the blocks. the bill requires you member states to enact measures to restore a 5th of the land and seize to then natural condition by the 21st he will make his adult to the legislation despite the ongoing farm is protest across europe. that the use green policy. and now you follow me is a saying the environmental standards and regulations a threatening that livelihoods, but it's not just the green deal. it's driving these protests homeless farm is have been demonstrating and also a gates cheat, ukrainian inputs. staple foods like sugar, grain and eggs. they say it's rep presents on competition during the protest.
5:19 pm
flashes broke out between police and the farmers. dw correspondent christine one was covering the protest for us from the potent polish capital wool. so, and she told us more about what's happening the well, and, you know, we've come ahead of the crowd a little bit because just a few 100 meters behind me. a huge crowd of farm is demonstrators protest. this will come pull us down this road and they're heading that direction to the prime minister's office, and that is where they wants to present a list of their demands that you are reporting about minus scuffles. absolutely, but this is largely been very noisy, but a peaceful demonstration. despite those minus scuffles you have people are full throwing objects of fireworks, etc. they really want to be heard here today, but it's about taking that message to the prime minister's office to the government offices. a lot of the people you see and these products have traveled, hundreds of columbus is to be and will sold this morning to take
5:20 pm
a message that the situation for them is very difficult. their posters are also talking to the people living in the cities, making people understand that we are the people who produce the food you're easing . the conditions are good for us and we, we want you to understand our flights and, and just remind us again, warsaw that the farm is asking for. exactly. so on. yeah, the, the list of grievances is long. yeah. but it really comes down to the e u. a greenville carbon emissions, cussing a sort of directives. yeah. and so it, that just means that layers of bureaucracy have been adding to added to, to what the farm is do here. so that is one to concern the other issue is the amount of ukrainian agri products that are making their way into poland and other e u countries that has had an impact on prices. so local produce has gone down. so what farms are saying is the value of how produce has reduced at the same time,
5:21 pm
the cost of living is going up and i have to point out that the produced from the ukraine in a country does not necessarily is not subject to the e. u. stand, it's that that's publish, farm is have to do to so you have a concern. now if i put a promise to say we produce at a higher cost, and now you put products from ukraine that are much cheaper and that is reducing the value of what we do. there is concern here though i have to point out about the timing of these demonstrations uh, thousands of farmers have come to the polish capital today. people are questioning the timing of all of this and, and what is really agitating this movement. you will note that this has been a long standing issue wheeler and also just about a year ago in the, the ukranian president for the, for let them use it. and steve was visiting. this was an issue then with the previous government. but people are questioning the timing. there are, there was a local or written the there are local regional elections happening here in april. you also have the european election happening in june. and there is the feeling
5:22 pm
that the it has been infiltrated to it. and you, what the government to say that you have some extremist groups that have infiltrated this process. hence you will start even seeing the sort of n, c, e. you very sort of inflamed language, the kind of legs that people are surprised is coming from pony farm. is who have lots you benefit from you finding subsidies. so there are questions about what is really a play and certainly some concerns and russian propaganda might have infiltrated. does these process as well? christine, just briefly, all government officials listening to the farm is oh absolutely. i spoke to the deputy agriculture minister here and get it pulled into this morning. uh right now there are talks between teeth and will so, and that is to say that at least on the part of poland, they are trying to get the ukrainians to agree to some kind of a quota and a tire of system on the projects that comes into poland from ukraine, that's something that the ukrainians don't wants to agree to because the european
5:23 pm
union has said ukrainian projects can come into the european union without terrace being opposed. so this is a bit of a heated moment right now. the results in brussels yesterday, the minister needs at this didn't yield much in terms of concrete results. these things take long. it'll be all kind of nibble, especially in brussels. but that's the main issue right now. the w correspondent, christine mon, deliver pushing from potent of christine. thank you. now, one of the netherlands most wanted criminals, rid of them. tugee has been sentenced to life in prison. the case against the drug cartel leda and 16 other members of his crime, gang related to several mothers, including a journalist who'd been supporting the prosecutions key witness. prosecutors described tompkins organization as a well oiled killing machine. read one, peggy, the convicted leader of the macro, my field, crime gang, the case against him and succeed all those was related to 6 motors and
