the, the, this is dw news life from the, the top republicans in the us senate is to step down a 2 year old mitch mcconnell says he'll hand over to a new policy leader later this year declared that it's time for a new generation to take up also on the program, i'll explain the volume, these widow rebukes and vladimir fruits and you're not all night. tells me your opinion parliament, the russian president is a lucky monster who must answer for once he's done to russia ukraine. and to how thomas chief is bound. jaime here says his medicines group be showing flexibility until trip israel over the cause of both the warrants they already succeed. find

the i'm so okay, well welcome to the program. one of the most powerful lawmakers in the united states. mitch mcconnell has announced that he will step down as republican leader of the us senate in november, a 2 year old is the longest of instead of leader in history and added that he would serve out to send it to him, which ends in 2027 little blankets from both foxes reacted service speed for the standing devices. these recently be facing health issues. he is a part of his speech. so as i've been thinking about when i would deliver some news to the sound, i always imagined a moment. when i have total clarity and page about the sunset of my work, as i'm all on what i'm sort of help preserve the deals.

how strongly believe that day arrived? good. let's get more from re washington bureau chief and his profile. come into service enhancements. taking money by surprise. what else did mitch mcconnell say? what do you know for those closely following him? it's a decision actually doesn't come as a surprise, as mr. mcconnell really facing serious health issues. i'm sure that many of us remember the episode so that he momentarily froze in front of the media. for example, however, this definitely is not the sole reason the voice announcement to step down at the end of this year from his leadership role. he is also facing increasing resistance . this is in his rank, is actually due to his push for continued military assistance to ukraine. and he's

one of those who strongly advocates how the process of a 4 and 8 bill that includes over 60000000000 in 84 you create. so as you say, you're stepping down this kind of minority leader at the end of november. how does that like get to change the republic composite? rove as his departure from this leadership role, the g o p, the republican policy will lose kind of an old school politician who follows his principles rather than blindly supporting donald trump. and this is particularly interesting because mcdonald worked really closely with mr. trump and he was the president of the united states, for example, in a pointing conservative judges. they broke uh when a trump refused to acknowledge president biden's victory. and over the general re 6,

a capital a take, you know, it, it is important to be aware that soon there will be fewer republicans left who share kind of his vision. mcculla vision that america has global leadership role is essential also for the country's own developing. because nicole is not the only policy makers stepping down because they don't longer wish to be associated with the trumpet party. so this of course pays the way for those who are willing to prioritize from desires over their own political principles. thanks back the this is paul. what dw washington bureau chief now to rush the aides of the office of the late opposition leader like satan. devante died in prison this month, so his funeral will be held in moscow on friday. russian authorities having reacted to the announcements which doesn't involve these widow and julia whose emotions as

the face of the countries in baffled opposition movement says she hopes the governing. well, the peaceful space to be able to pay in parliament, she won't against negotiating with the russian president the julian nova. and i spoke to the deputies in strasburg less than 2 weeks after russian prison authorities announced her husband's death. once again, she accused of letting me i put 10 and then put the boats into it. my husband, i like see now why they on he's so there's a look, see was tortured for 3 years. she was star in the tar needs tone. so collado from the outside world and denied these it's phone calls and then even the letters. and then they told him, like say no problem, the was considered rushes most prominent critic vladimir put 10. as a politician,

he was popular with voters and exposed corruption at the highest levels in russia. he was then barred from politics, imprisoned, and even poisoned. his final months were spent in a penal colony in the arctic circle, organizing novelle naya shared her fears for her husband's upcoming burial. and i'm not sure yet with it. it will be peaceful or with the police view, or as those who have come to say would bite to my husband snowball. and they also spoke about russia's invasion in ukraine. now in its 3rd year, the world rushed to ukraine's aid. she said, but now it's at a stalemate. war. there is much exhaustion, much blot, march and disappointment, and fortune has gone nowhere. ever seen this already been used? rapids mani saying since nothing is working. and the board has happened.

every one good to use to the war here and there are people start to see, well, we'll have to come to an agreement was put in any way of n. as in she insisted that the russian president be brought to justice. what's in my eyes for full board? she has done this in my country for didn't much us there for what she has done to a neighboring peaceful country and fortune much us for ever since she has done so, it looks a alex but to hold vladimir putin accountable. she said the west needs a new tool box. not if you really want to defeat fulton, you have to be con, become an invite or you are, you have to stop being boring, novelle. now your speech gave the e u deputies much to ponder at

a time when russia's power is again being felt in europe. without moscow bureau chief universe, that's always been operating from riga, since dw was banned from the country. you told me more about you and if i'm not a speech, as well as the end of all, i did everything that i believe her husband alex save would have done as she gave an emotional speech and not to short lots to long, very exact in her choice of words, sometimes very direct when she pressed the blame, does it ask the president for the death of her husband? and of course, it was all said political speech, a field of just 2 weeks before the presidential election in russia. the wife, also russia's best known, the position for the patient is taking to europe's biggest page. you couldn't imagine the best of a better campaign to appear in. so any opposition party, if it's a warrant for one, if the speech wasn't given in russia but outside the country and does, that's the problem one to talk about the impact. i'm a,

i'll have comments likely to have been viewed in russia and how will they've been received. well, it depends on who you ask russians politically, divide that and the as important as no bonus performance today was for us western journalists, or basic petitions. so people in the past, it was simply ignored or down played by the state control media and russia. so i suppose that most of the more than 100000000 russians didn't hear anything about the speech. but as those who were interested have certainly heard a very strong signal, a sign of the condition of all political or different minded people in russia. well, hundreds of people have already been arrested for publicly mocking alexa and the families death of what's expected to happen. there is funeral on friday a while and fried enough all these expect it to be given at church service in

a small church on the, in the model. you know, a district of moscow into then very it, uh is. there is a confusion about exactly which $73.00 will these will take place in, but such confusion is nothing to you and joshua has to be experienced exactly the same situation as a funeral of give, gave you for the goals. and for example, that happened with the wagner soldiers a few months ago. and also when the volunteer returns to moscow off the she's treatment in gym. and in 2021. back van to the plane carrying he was delivered. divert to that, got that. and then i will reroute it at the last minute because too many people had to get that's to celebrate him as that is exactly what the national sorted is. fee of this time. they don't want the volume, this funeral to attracts too much attention, right? you re thank you so much, but usually rashonta in riga, that's the middle east and the how i'm asked me to a smile. jaime, at has accused israel of deliberately starving people in the north of gaza. let's have his medicine group is ready to continue fighting in

a televised speech. and she went on to say that the group, which has been why the designated a terrorist organization was showing flexibility in negotiations with israel, called on the palestinians to march to jerusalem was alex a most on the 1st day of robert on next week. is robin has said that it will allow limited practice that and with security restrictions. but the concern is that is the highest cold, could set the stage for possible clashes with somebody soco is a jonathan israel. and i asked him, what political message that how much leader was trying to send by talking about the groups flexibility. but i think that the is my and the is addressing is people he's addressing the people of gaza. it is very clear that the god zones would like to see a ceasefire. immediately. they would like to see a coming in. they would like to see an end to this sale horrific war. and in this

way, is somebody not in the is communicating with them. and the he's saying that he's organization was brought them into this situation is actually flicks it in. it is with me to a reach concessions with the is rallies in these adults that are being held in a cut up that are aimed to, to bring about this cease fire. he doesn't give any details, of course, but he's just a kind of like expressing his willingness some confusion about these talks at the moment said yesterday, we have joe biden saying he expected some sort of things 5 deal by next week and we had to, i'm not saying, well, we haven't been approached by any of then he goes yates's. i'm what are you hearing? yeah, well, we know that there is a kind of an outline of a, an agreement which basically talks about

a 6 weeks of the ceasefire. we know that the idea is that this fire cease fire will begin ahead of the muslim holy month for all of my dog. and a in this is cease fire. we're talking about the release of about a 40 is randy hostages and the in return it's, it's not clear yet whether they would be a 300 or 400 or any other number in between of the listing and prisoners that would be released. but every now and then we hear other statements that are being made, such as the nathan yahoo is saying that he would demand that some of the palestinian prisoners who live in the west bank would be expelled to being released . how must opposing it. so definitely the various sticking points, okay. one of them is also the demand of how much the garza's would be allowed to go to the north. at least some of them would be able to go to the north of the gaza

strip. now while this is going on, we have an invoice from us on faster due to meet in moscow to discuss the formation of a unified to palestinian government. how realistic a goal is that as well. we've already seen the development as this week as the palestinian a prime minister. and how about the state yet? who is based in the role model? uh, he announced that his government as a resign. so this is like the preliminary step. the next stage is going to be the point. ready of a professional government or what they call here, a techno crap government. this would be a government that is supposed to not be labeled as a political and its main goal will be the cooperation with the

international community for the big challenge that is facing the palestinian people, which is the restoration the red ribbon. think of the gaza strip. now i would imagine, and this is what i'm gonna list are saying is that miles would want to have some kind of impact on who, who would be in this kind of a government is it wouldn't be just a government that wouldn't be appointed by the coverage as president of the police didn't look for a d n, a bus is that means that they would be a dig faxed to the same kind of a government that we have now, which was appointed by a bus. and what i'll do is we would like to see is that especially how much they would like to have some kind of impact. they do not expect to have their people in this government as they would understand that this might blockades. but maybe if

they would be able to veto some of the candidates. so it wouldn't be just a bus. is the book at moving this kind of take a look where i'd government find lots us. i mean, somebody sako, interesting to not have gone away. parliaments has passed a new g, l, g, b, t to law, the coalition of religious leaders sponsor the bill which would pump punish the promotion of l. g b teacher rights with up to 5 years in prison. the legislation still needs presidential approval. same sex relations all ready in legal, in gonna activists of described the new law as another set back for human rights. let's get more from the w correspondence. isaac a convention and gone is capital acro. welcome, isaac, and tell us more about this bill. for this bill is tied so

that you are an extra rights on some of the values. that's how that promotes actually targeted. so they are trying to deal with issues they deem is related to their from the values of god. i'm expecting 3 eyes for this to happen. and obviously one key issue is that it's was funded by individual members of parliament . so this is not coming from the government while we're calling to a private members bills. and so the idea of how it came and so forth, it by the religious leaders and produced 90 days and largely the guardian population seem to support this particular bill. the key highlights of the bills and highlights, i should mention include that. and if someone is quotes im actually engaging in what they build games eligibility activities that enclose for example, having sex the way the same sex, a sex all the cause of the same sex or marine someone who is on the same fix or having sex with the 90 miles among god this you obviously will be offended in this

part supply bill. and what that means is that you called a big deal for up to 3 years. and of course, a minimum of to 2 months in jill. but it was also another aspect of it, which is dealing with people who they build bins to be put back on these or do so promotes and disseminates messages that promote an eligibility activities and ok. we include people who produce frames or even the media when they want a front end up and publish the things that they build games to be a games. this particular no and these passive want, it was found guilty. cool. actually what to do with up to 10 years, unless they don't have to be so less than 5 years. so it seems to be very strong on, on, on this president, even though it was phones are and funds some of these bill if i, if it is it, is the president really go, is the president likely to approve this bill so well,

it is something everyone is looking up to and it's all coming from the government and renewed up previous bills that i've been passed last year by individual members related to my rights and laws. and the present has said i was there is some kind of close on the golf mains. then he will not sign it unless it comes from the government. so we are hoping to see what you will see related to the dates. controversial bill. what are your ways says that because the government did not sponsor aids and it has to now exist some kind of find themselves obligation, which it says that it was just says that was, it has to exist on financial obligation, then is or close to the next page and this paper must be the one suppose rain. we want to see what you will see as to what these bags of clothes ones that i have. i seem to find a bill and those who are human rights activities. i was asked him to rate the bill, so in his domain i want to see what happens in that coming month. and i talked to isaac dw correspondent isaac, connect you in acura. take

a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. now. the land has begun putting peacekeepers out of the democratic republic of congo contrast that demanded the withdrawals. despite the consent of a searching conflict in the east peacekeepers have been stationed in the country for 25 years. but the government is accused of failing to protect civilians. and the 17 people have been killed in a bus crashing northwest and hum, curious, and empty bus. returning from dropping off, migrants across the bottom board and collided with another vehicle for the amount of this road. more than a dozen people were injured. for rush to san francisco officials in the mail drove and broke away region of tons of district have asked moscow for protection. tensions have been rising between the pro western multiple governments and the transfer stream, separatist narrow territory on the board with ukraine has been controlled by pro russian forces since the collapse of associate unit of foreign ministers from

media. and as a by john holding peace talks in the live tensions between the 2 countries have been as a renewed highest since bathroom cap to the break white and the corner of counter back. and we just in september of this month, the leaders of both countries agreed to push for a resolution of the decades long conflict dw political correspondent, out of gas tassel, german farm, and his stuff on the book. praise the thoughts and thing to account of pods from i mean and as a by john for coming to building. so coming back to the negotiation table, she said these negotiations absolutely essential and that there must not be any use of force on the ground. something she said both of the form and is specifically to doing a short walk just outside this building where these negotiations so taking place. they have a coal, germany, a friend of both nations, and also the leading as a basis as a base for future peace talks if necessary. this is also in line with the strategy

of the german farm industry and the german chancery over the last months. just 2 weeks ago or to show its media to meeting between the president of us by john and the prime minister of media during the music security conference. and even though the atmosphere between those 2 has been while the cold, so there has not even been a handshake between them. both agreed to keep off negotiations and just back in november. and i did not be able book, visited the region and the germans just germany support for both concepts parties, if they stick to negotiations. so germany really is determined to become a credible mediator in this conflict. and to prevent this conflict from spreading further. i would suggest not to india, which goes to the polls soon and a general election scheduled to take place between april and may prime minister, their end dra mowdy, and he's b j. p potty of riding a wave of popularity and currently on an old time. hi,

there any other big national party congress is struggling to find his way in the election race? but many experts believe has already been decided. that leader russell gandy is traveling the vast nation from east to west, trying to mobilize support following to action defense promoting correspondence. many are at challenging reports from the campaign trail. loud slogans feature arctic songs and an excited crowd in the city of police opposition leader. now who's on the is here to bring back with us for his congress body, the basement enough for that family. why is this country and go into so much hatred? and the reason for finding some hatred in india is in just this overall people. so for some interest is 24 hours a day and the aisle di. any good is important for going to be. the city isn't the state of what the for these are you, which has

a bigger population then rosie. you be also has the most fundamental areas in india and is currently formerly in the hands of the ruling fuzzy of prime minister. and that means a movie. the b g b. yeah. throw on. yeah, i get off this journey is about fighting in just as a in this country, the b j. p is dividing. people are available in the name of religion those right? i'm say, learn on, i got on go to that. the who's on the knows what's at stake. he lost his quantity to nc, and you'll be in the last national election. despite the fact that he's from india most prominent political family which has given the country 3 prime minister going to the is trying to use this cross country chip course yacht in him be to engage with ball for these new allies. and to reconnect with the people of the modules being undertaken at the time when the alliance of all position parties led

by the congress formed just last year, beginning to show, correct. you will be reasonable if you have pulled out with other alliance members caught up and follow setting disagreements. many observers showed, and you'll be, feel that the congress body won't be able to do it on the tight. one of them is journalists gauzy for us and let me who has been covering local politics for 15 years. congress. gov lewis point. this is the lowest point that we go to, the timing of the march is wrong. they should have organize it much sooner to gain more, but it, it goes aboard up to where they go, you know, they have nothing to lose. okay, what the margins doing is to divide the support of their own body. what goes up and the congress is weak lining and implementing. it's on the go strategies that can have the proper planning key which and congress liter jeremy's, who travels with da, who's on the disagree. he attributes his body's losses to something else. the

reason why mister movies has been, you know, successful really scary movies. do you know what it takes a moment and i think most of those on this is the only particularly the the goal is but usually pretty the body that's really taking the be just being a dog damaged to come feet that his body is defending. heavily on his political allies, you know, you know, i live everybody with nobody, good satisfied, 100 percent of the time. or you give some, you know, you'll get some, you'll compromise living man, for now. the god seems to be striking the right court with the relative to the you on a barely but it congress will do well with, especially in this alliance to defeat the b. j. b, and what is kind of hard work pays off or congress that following, because for now it's getting strategy going this last the last 2 national elections badly this time it wants to present a united opposition to the government. keeping this alliance intact until the elections. we'd be the biggest challenge reminder of our top story,

this our mitch mcconnell has an honors that he will step down as a leader of republicans in the us tense. 82 year old said it was time for a new generation to take. i'm coming up on dw and just a moment, and i'll be back to guide you through some of today's big stories in the day. and so that they ask me what's going on with all you break away. central european regents of transmission street and whether we should be worried about policing developments that that's in just a minute. the

lifelong relationship is that nobody teases for themselves. siblings, they help see and challenge us. what role do they play in our development siblings? love rivalry. in 45 minutes. oh d, w, the

conflict. try see around everything is connected, mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. beyond the board is what makes things the way they all of all the solutions mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the people in trucks in jed, when trying to free the city center and more refugees are being turned away and support families, planes on the tax. in serious disease credit on anything this week. straight. he explained to his son around the world more than $118.00. we

should have the transistor ever heard of it. it's a little sliver of land in central europe that broke away from moldova on board. is ukraine. now i told you the fat. so i can tell you this today, transmission be a cold on russia for protection. so do we need to be worried about more russian troops being invited into one of ukraine's neighbors? or is this just a little local difficulty? i'm feel gail in by then and this is the day the.
