[000:00:00;00] the business dw news line from the gym and chance of an allow shelves, rules outside things west and ground troops to ukraine, to join several other european leaders in down, playing the idea as to french presidents emmanuel macross signal that you are paying a nato trans could be dated to 5, russia also on the program. us president joe biden. this has anything. so these 5 d over screen is ram and how much can be reached by next week in time for the most name? totally months of rent on the high profile of the trial in the netherlands, adults with a life sentence for the head of

a violent drugs concept. the i'm feel gaol. welcome to the program. we start with open division between that your team leaders of the idea of sending ground troops to ukraine. i begun with french president to manual macro signal that doing so could be necessary to ensure that rush it does not when the war with your cry, which i'm a chance of, oh, life, sholtes and other european leaders happy. walking back that suggestion, back in germany, from his meeting with the leaders in west and the officials in paris. johnson, the olaf schultz reiterated his thoughts on for the support for ukraine and its defense against russia. the i'm the today october, 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 decide did that. what was agreed from the outset does, does also applies to the future on to and on the, on the done under fiscally foreignness, namely that there will be no ground troops mixed us as kind to know soldiers on ukrainian, sorry to stop. and i'll send there by european countries, or need those states and stop the for not the stop and alternative sick patton. this puts in the odds with french president emanuel macro, who raised eyebrows during the meeting when he said that the option of pushing boots on the ground to new crane should remain open as well. there is no consensus to did to send ground troops get an official endorsed and sinks in minutes. but in dynamic terms, nothing should be rooted out with the sold me on doing that and we will do whatever it takes to ensure that trust you get not been this far. the hope of could always seem to be bugging. you said get other leaders have been quick to react. spain it's

lee, the u. k. poland, nato. and the you are paying commission have on the line, so they have no pounds to send ground troops to crane reset or renew this commitment. the kremlin has responded by saying that if you are p n, nato members decide to send troops to ukraine, direct conflicts between russia and nato would become inevitable. well, let's pick up this parent split with mike mazda and he's a senior visiting research fellow invoice that is a king's coming to london a welcome back to w mike. so we have, i'm on the role of macro on the head, apparently in a minority of one on the issue of sending ground troops into ukraine. why is he open to it? but everyone else is saying no. or i'm not sure. and i do wonder whether in the next couple of days, we might see some things from the lease, a paris that a, the lease a policy manual,

my home misspoke or something else because it's, you know, right from the beginning of this conflict over the sides, have been trying very hard to make sure that there's no direct confrontation between russian troops on troops of countries that belong to nato, for very good reasons, because that would bring us into a much wider conflict. so for my cold societies today seems to fly in the face of all of that strategic positioning over the last 2 years. and you have the front presence has been at the front. the president has been one of the most vocal european leaders on the issue of a u. r. p and, and reducing reliance on the usa. a forward defense. the recent pronouncements from donald trump plus base war and ukraine indicate that we might actually have a point to, i think actually a manual micros quite erotic when it comes to photo says this was the president. he felt that he could go to moscow and, you know, costs a deal with pete's in, in the stages. and then we had that quite embarrassing trip where nothing was

achieved except to raise the profile of putin. i think the election of president trump is a huge worry for you or pay the security, but i think not on the schools. exactly why we don't want your pay nations dragged into a wall with russia at exactly the time. you know, later this year, where's president trump get selected and the american security blanket, so europe is withdrawn, us executive position. we don't want to find ourselves in. we being of course, europeans involve a job and chance of a has rule about sending taurus mist files into ukraine because he says that range would allow you trying to attract, rush that directly. and the use would require german troops bringing his country directly into conflict with russia. how credible is his reasoning? so, you know, the 1st bit of his reasoning about escalating the conflict is something that we've had many, many,

many times before with many different weapon systems. and usually what happens is those weapons are delivered and the war doesn't escalate, the russia has no, it's a slight, it's invaded the neighboring country and is committing will crimes that the on the escalation is to go new care. and that's very unlikely to happen. highly, highly unlikely to happen because fronts, america, and britain also have nuclear weapons. and as to his, a conversation as what his points about requiring german troops. they may well be something technically specific to the tourist, but from what i understand is very similar to other types of cruise missile the towards missile is a type of christmas. so that have already been donated to ukraine by fonts and by person and by america. so again, i don't really understand that reasoning is on a quick what about unconfirmed reports coming out of south korea today that north korea has shipped millions of new nations to russia a since july,

where we see you cry and struggling together. it's west and back us to do the same . how big is the mismatch of artillery in miss all supplies of the moment is always huge. the north korean army was really sets up on the old soviet model, which is very, very often very heavy. and, and that is the big, i use a match that north korea has a, the south career has that, you know, millions and millions of artillery shells, many of which i suspect, well, pos, the sell by dates. but shipping those, even if you know, $0.10, then file and uh, well, the rest of it that's still a vast overmatched between the russian sides who are benefiting from it. right? in munitions and no screen munitions and ukraine, which is really waiting for the us congress to make his mind up on the weapon supplies. of course, while the us is deal, it does a ring. you are paying countries are trying to work out what to do and they tend to

follow the us as lead in these things. i clear as ever. thank you so much for joining if you had mike mike motzkin from king's college and thank you so well. joe biden has said that he is hopeful that i see 5 deal for guys that can be reached by next week. i talked to happening in katara, able to secure an opposing financing in exchange for the release of is ready to be hostages. taken during the october 7th, i must have tax speaking to reporters in new york, the president said an agreement was within reach. well, i hope my, my not security adviser tells me that we're close because it's not done yet. my hope is by next monday as well just by present biden's optimism, a how much the official has told the rights as news agency. the president's

comments don't match the situation on the ground. he said there are still gaps that need to be bridge before the cease fire agreement can be reached. israel has that any glass up in the fighting would only be timeframe and the ground operations in rafa are the only way to eliminate how mass fights us from the suspected positions is right. the military is reports in the show and israel's war cabinet. it's plot full evacuating civilians from combat areas, but they really know details about where those displays people might go. these women and children are among the victims. 2 after and is really or strike to the building in southern gaza. some survivors are still looking for their loved ones. they were targeted with a miss. so there was a huge explosion in the building collapsed. we recovered people including women and a child who was 7 years old. there also injured people,

including my sons. israel has been carrying out their 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 him us leaders are hiding there and that it's necessary to push into rafa to achieve that school of eliminating the group but international organizations, warren, such an advance would have catastrophic implications for civilians. they're all t is valuable, fillasy from the city would not only be terrifying for more than a 1000000 policy and civilian sheltering their you to put the final nail in the coffin of all would age programs a according to u. n. speakers, the amount of a delivered in recent weeks has decreased mainly due to the regular closures of crossing points and military operations. the drop in aid comes amid

a deepening hunger crisis across the territory. and i met in the unless i'm supposed to have milk as a newborn beef, natural milk or formula. but i wasn't able to get to milk because there's no book, and garza and the circumstances are tough. there's no milk and no food and gossip. the sea and i can forward and pier shoot much needed supplies into gauze on monday, but many fewer the 8 system could collapse entirely, is rarely ground troops entered last limited refuge for palestinians in garza leisure as ministry campaign against how mass has been testing its relationship with its neighbor egypt, the 2 countries without peaceful relations for more than 40 years and colorado has often mediated in conflicts in the region. but egypt is now also a one of the many countries urging israel to hold planned ground operations in rafa

. right on the border with egypt. since rafa is crammed with that on 1400000 people. many displeased from other parts of because us trick conditions that a dire would, shortages of food and water. egypt has one quick suspended, be speedy with isn't. if it's ready troops, i sent it off of egypt has had useful relations with israel since both countries signed the dam david accords. in 1979. i would gladly let me but dixon, president of the c. c. has been vocal in his condemnation of his friends opperation in its war against homos. and even if it's with us the, the display of god's having nowhere else to go. it could lead to intense pressure on them to escape the enclave in the egypt sign. i've been into

a situation keitel wants to avoid egypt along with several other countries. fear is red, wouldn't allow them to do it on on the terms of the 1979 based rudy design. i've been into a lot on the gossip border, a demilitarized zone since the october 7, the tax, egypt has been beeping up. what does it go to do with more groups because of frontier with is there any consent? easy also appears to be building a fortified area there. chiral for the past decade has been creating a massive buffer zone as part of that security coordination with is there a part of that has been the destruction of tunnels from instead of create into gaza, which we used for smuggling on other issue, the testing relations between the 2 countries is a narrow demilitarised strip of land that separates egypt and gaza, known as the philadelphia, quote at all suggestion, but its value prime minister benjamin netanyahu,

that he wanted is ready to take control of the quiet or has angered chiral. despite the god intense relations between, instead in egypt, any of them by cairo to walk away from its b as accord with is read good through very costly egypt economy is struggling and it would risk losing billions of dollars of us aid it receives as part of the 1979 treaty the delta sign on the vac, who is director of the middle east and north africa program after lunch and pasting time a child some house. welcome to the w. i'd like to start without that's uh egyptian threats to walk away from its 1979 pace tracy base route. if the rafa operation goes ahead and i guess my 1st question isn't to pause what effect would that have and why is egypt so concerned?

thank you. for having me uh well, um, egypt um is not making this threat lightly. it sees the displacement of palestinians as very dangerous as a precedent. it doesn't want to see the repeat of the 1948 displacement of palestinians that took place. and as a result of the war at the time. secondly, of course, a displacement of post indians could of, of course post challenges for each of the own security. and the instruction government is using the threat of breaking a diplomatic ties with israel ties, but egypt has maintained since 1979 as leverage for the israeli government to take egypt position and posted in displacement. seriously. we have seen, however, that the, that israel is determined to take a minute to, to,

to apply which so far only if i can put it that way. and not even the heating advice somebody's closest ally at the united states quite often is the threat from egypt likely to be taken seriously by israel as well. since egypt has made that threat very public and has been quite persistent and pressing this avenue of escalation, there have been revived, talks to get to a temporary cease fire. and egypt has been a very important interlocutor. mediator along side cuts are in the united states in paris, but also in the region in order to get to the cease fire before ramadan, which begins on march 10th. and so it does look like the carrot and stick approach if you will,

might be getting some traction and the mediator is including us. president joe biden had indicated that they are getting close to an agreement, which is a very positive sign on, on what should we read into israel? is the use of ramadan, mostly in festival as a ministry deadline, as well. i think it's a everyone's deadline, not just israel's deadline. i think it's important to achieve a ceasefire as as soon as possible. it's important obviously to release hostages, but above all, to also address the massive humanitarian disaster that's taking place in gaza with so many lives was over 30000 at this point a ceasefire needs to happen yesterday and delaying it to the start of ramadan. i don't think it's a positive or productive outcome for, for all sides. but ramadan is seen as

a deadline because there are deep fears across the region that this war could escalate. that violence could spread into the west bank and east jerusalem, where these really government has not allowed muslims access to the lots of mosque and during ramadan and the time of a deep religious, a meeting for muslims across the region. being deprived of the opportunity to pray at the alex a mosque would be a very dangerous and, and could it lead to violence as well. okay, that's totally clear. thank you so much for joining us in the outlying forest of this. and i'm fucking you from chatham thank you. and we'll take a look at that. some of the stories that making headlines around the world. thousands of people across nigeria around here against the upstairs who measures and inflation government work is a big on a nationwide strike. the cra shut down, key services i think is largest economy is facing it. the worst economic crisis for
