part of montalvo versus influence in the break away region is undeniable. as this rush is a presence both militarily and financially for one, it's a special pensions click on some these transfer, but it also supplies gas to the region to the kremlin, says it considers protecting transmit screens the top priority, while of choosing western powers of interfering and motel was internal affairs. nothing put down, nate to is tumbling to trying to mold the republic into literally a 2nd to ukraine. con, to right to the mood of the majority of the modelling population, e, y, and in general apartments, the without thinking about the consequences of this for the country and for the region on the whole bottom. russia's invasion of neighboring ukraine has fuel fears that mold over could be next, especially as the countries precedent. my assent do has been pushing to join the you meeting with ukrainian president and all pena san do, said she was worried. not all the way safe today. thanks to the but a very of the ukrainian sol days and we are very grateful to them. the attention

though, also costs and concerned in washington. good afternoon, given russia's increasingly aggressive and destabilizing role in europe, we are watching rushes, actions, and trends. nice through it. in a broader situation there a very closely just one of several western voices warning the rushes, trying to, to stabilize the region even further. i'm not going from vienna, but as the best in chef i as an analyst who specializes in ties between the both of you crying. now, how concerned are you by this appeal from trans, mr. out to russia? to be honest, i'm not very concerned because as we've already heard, also just before there has been this call for and referendum already in 2006 there has been uh, the decision to want to join the russian federation about the criminal so far

hasn't even recognized terms of the stress now within the current jewel political situation, we cannot do without anything but um, i would find out what the president said model by safe as a moment now is russian president vladimir putin is due to address the nation today ahead of elections in 2 weeks, did expect him to react to the request for help from a full trans nestor. as she might mention it, i don't think that he will announce anything drastic. it's simply for logistical reasons. there is no possibility that i can see at the moment. that's the russian army, but uh, interfere the situation on the ground as it might change over the next couple of weeks, march, present, then an opportunity for that. the moment i don't see that there is a highly likelihood that something on the ground can happen. now how much real

support for russia is the general population of transmits true as well. there is, of course, a ties to the language through the history to sentiments, but especially also through russian propaganda that it's a broadcast. it's through media, into that part of mold over. i would say that some, there is certainly a desire to not be a part of what some maybe is, is no longer the russian world. however, if we look at the, for instance, economical data, we see that over the past decade, we have had a development where the transmission economy is exporting more into the european union than it is for the russian federation. you will see a,

a changing environment with the necessity for generating electricity and also the gas supply that comes from the russian federation due to a full scale invasion in the ukraine. so there are ties, there are sentiments, but the overall environment is changing and we should also pay attention to the best interests of the vienna. thank you very much. thank you. for weeks from us have been protesting against the policies and countries across europe. some of the biggest protests have been in poland with farm is also angry over cheaper food, and pause from neighboring ukraine. issue has been strategy relations between the 2 countries, which happens those pop ups since russia's invasion of ukraine. foliage authorities have even accused russell influencing the farm as protests w's. christine will draw

even on my own phone. see how many comments i made to the point by the fake account segment of on this use and for months if the site is gone, the independent observe is also concerned with russian propaganda doesn't know we're conscious pulling fluid is they are, is facing our novices, our social media, our public discussions and public debate, looking into it rather go statements, statements with play with our emotion authors. these are investigating some anti ukraine and pro russia slogans that have been spotted and recent demonstrations. but tell you save those on not just fill the form is not there is no i didn't post it on. you certainly know polish pharma who cares as i believe is it over that they're going here? benjamin will make you mine said directly at tech about the ukraine and support team i think we own the best push it out and you know,

uh okay, you know, just did i own a patina? poland has been one, a few cranes biggest back is in the us. but the issue with the farm is, is causing tensions between keys and also does have a look now. some of the other story is making headlines in the us, a cluster of fast moving was fine scorched communities in an area known as the texas panhandle. one blaze being called a smoke house creek fund has grown into one of the largest in states history. no injuries have been reports, but their affairs, the fire has put spread in texas. a man has been executed for killing 2 people back in 2000. ivan count who was convicted of fatally shooting, his cousin and his cousin's girlfriend, but claimed his conviction was based on false testimony before receiving a lethal injection console said several times again that he was innocent. the district attorney said that the evidence against country was clear. social's,

card. president's joe biden. this november last month, the us to court ordered israel to take provisional measures to prevent x of genocide and gaza. since then, there have been growing calls in some countries to hold weapons exports to israel. the un has said, countries supplying alms that as well could be completed in violations of international law. for almost 5 months. it's really troops of buckled palestinian militants across the gaza strip. the war has taken a heavy toe on civilians in the territory leading to international accusations. this is rose not doing enough to prevent civilian harm until high profile calls for arms exports to israel to stop. how many times have you heard? the must plumbing to lead us on for a minute to the 100 was saying to many people are being killed to play them by the

said, this is too much on the top is not proportional. well, if you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms. israel is one of the world's eating arms producers. but it's also dependent on imports from abroad, especially from the u. s. and germany. according to the style comb, international piece research institute is 67 percent of as well as the imports of major weapons came from the us from 2013 to 2020 to 28 percent from germany. i'm 5 percent from italy. the us does not publish details on its military a to israel, but media reports say is, has supplied tens of thousands of weapons since the october 7th terrorist attack, including bunker busting bombs and precision guided munitions. in 2022 germany

approved the sale of 32300000 euros worth of defense equipment to israel. that figure rose 10 fold and 20232300 26500000 euros. most of the permits for granted after october, 7th, and included portable on to tank weapons and ammunition and make concerns. that's applying weapons for the war in guns. a may violate international humanitarian law . easily on spain say they have halted o arms exports to israel. and in mid february, a course in the netherlands ordered the dutch government to block exports the f 35 spicer jet parts to israel, following the case, bro, bye human rights groups. israel has rejected calls for an arms embargo saying it's fighting the war and guns that in self defense, in accordance with international law. to gone an hour, the parliament has pos, an u. n. t l z be due to low a coalition of a religious lead, a sponsor,

the bill which would polish the promotion of gay rights with up to 5 years in prison. the legislation still needs presidential approval. same sex relations are already legal in gonna active as have described the new law as another set back for human rights. earlier i spoke to isaac colored j, r correspondent, and across what more he knows about that bill of the. so this will as take a 3 years in the making, it was 1st introduced in portland, maine seems to me the 3 to one and is just now that's and the bill has been passed and it deals with some critical issues and mostly issues related to persons who identify themselves as members of the eligibility, cute community all who engage in same sex relationships, all related activities and press is life that the bill is proposing and that the

jews and up to 3 is sort of cool. 5th, after 3 is and julie is the actually found to be engage insights activities. then also the new bit of impass also makes room for people who fund or promote algae be to rid of that activity. so the goals will phase, for example, up to a 5 p as in jill. but it's also one critical aspect which is crisis who may be broadcasting messages really go through eligibility and activities included in media. all those who use frames all who publish on the inside a vehicle face up to 10 years in deal. so this bill is trying to be sol as steve and frame and the deal and actually prohibits. i'll give it to us if it isn't gonna now, isaac, why does this bill? good so much support a more ordinary canadians so when the bill was passed and on wednesday or obviously

a little guy here is waiting. so part of its end date this day they, they actually really support the gun. yes. so plus and it because i am gonna just like any i don't think on countries, religious teachings and culture to change how this coverage. i same sex relationships and people have actually believed in dates and, and, and hold onto these cultural practices and produce and i really just practicing that. so it does no doubt that other people really suppose it's such a bill. is the president likely to approve that bill? but it's very, i put the question, and it's not because maybe he's afraid to have signed a bill according to the members of government. but because last year, some bills were past due way into a used by members of parliament know from the government, and he refused to assign space. and that's why there's some quotes on this page and is now coming from this stage of this one's out there. bill, he wants find that bill because he goes,

i gave the post fusion. this bill was introduced by members of parliament. most of the government as well, if it goes by the same principle, the human and assigned a bills. unless the ability is performed by the government, but look through up to see how we are looking to see what operates in the coming days. what he will sign on is that can easy that in, across things to eyes and home comb, legislators preparing to pause a controversial security low that has been criticized for its effect on human rights below has long been demanded by china, a central government to badging, which has increasingly associates its authority on the island province of hong kong in recent years. massive treat pro, to streets protests in earlier years, stopped the government from implementing the little known as optical 23 for a provision in hong kong constitution box with many opposition activists in jail or an exam is expected to pass through parliament easily. let's take

a look at what exactly onto 23 entails. the new law would be part of hong comes many constitution, which is separate from that of the chinese mainland. article 23. it requires hong kong to suppress the sentence. threats to the government. a new law contains broad provisions against treason, insurrection, espionage, destructive activities, endangering national security and external interference. human rights that could say it dramatically on the minds due process and fed trial rights. the moment that changed everything. july 1st, 1997. when britain handed over hong kong to china, which promised to respect the principle of one country to systems. that meant that hong kong ers could enjoy many of the democratic freedoms they'd had under british rule. under hong kong it's own mini constitution. but in 2003,

beijing tried to introduce security laws under article 23 of that many constitution . hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in protest, and the proposal was withdrawn. in 2014, a civil disobedience movement arose, pushing for more democratic government. organizers feared that the police might track down and everyone has to stay. highly alert. riley has been peaceful, but now to your guys and plastic bullets have been transferred to the government headquarters. i a soon after the police forcefully cleared protest caps and the government did not relent. setting the stage for future classes with democracy activists. 5 years later, another series of widespread protests sparked by a proposal to extradite criminal suspects. the mainland china was met with a harsh police response. no one is the upgrade. 6 we have more and more angry.

you never know what the government will put on there. and i'm just worried about the problem. rather than answering the protesters, demands the following year, beijing impose the new national security law that defined many anti government efforts as the session and subversion and assigned live sentences for many of those so called crimes. that was it for many of hong kong pro democracy activists. dozens of opposition leaders were arrested, along with journalists and ordinary citizens. others went into exile. independent media was silenced, phasing signal that it had fully taken over in 2022 when jeez and ping arrived in hong kong to swear. and john lee, as the territories chief executive or the ceremony happened on july 1st 25 years to the day after the british hand over to service. lee had said that the new security legislation is a priority and with the opposition vanquished,

he's likely to get his wish. and for more on this i am now talking to dr. eric ly. he's a research fellow of georgetown central asia and loan joins us from washington, dc misapplied from your point of view. what effects does this new security law have on human rights at home call to this national security law consultation paper as provide on lots of vague terms and have a lack of traditional safeguards for free expressions, free association and free piece or assembly in hong kong. screw sure, there's no clear definition of what national security is except using mainland china is 1st and mainland chinese version of national security, which is covers everything in our the lights. and the 5th terms and the let call protections of human rights through independence courts. in this, the consultation also reflects that the golf from the one to extend its power to

controls the society and to control information and the golf and most vicious rather than providing a safe platform for free speech and free information pro. so what does that mean? now for the opposition in hong kong, most of the opposition forces have have either be criminalized or in excel. they are still a must try or against for the 7 pro democracy at the 1st in hong kong and the media . tyco jimmy lie as well as the 2 independent media out as a suit pending for trial or for the verdict of the trial against free press for free speech. and most of the secret society organizations and trade unions, critical of the government, has either disbanded or criminalized. so it's new, additional national security legislation. indeed, the small show an urgency of the need for the government to save got their own

security. but rather, it is an instrument to expend death, political control in the home phone society. do you think this is just the 1st step? oh, well, one of many steps engaging, tightening its grip on hong kong. even though this will be, this will be a completion of c team, things idea or, or at least a national security uh to be implemented in hong kong, the called government consultation on this local national security legislation. a made clear that they adopt a mainland id off national security in the hong kong is come on the system. and this is a way to comb. first home costs legal system with mainland chinese ones. talk to eric live there from the washington d. c. thank you. very much. thank you. now the following looks like something out of a james bond movie or from the iron man series. if you're a little bit younger,

the united arab emirates have hosted the wealth 1st jet suit, rice, 8 departments for on that pass. and just it's around the obstacle course on devise hall, but no, there's no digital trickery involved here is just seems have most path than most most cost i'm can reach speeds of up to 130 kilometers an hour. sounds dangerous. and well, it is that was a crash during the race pilot gave the rescue as this comes out that way the it does look like a lot of fun. you're watching dw news. here's a reminder of our top story. ukraine is warning against interference, and most of us break away region of transmit stripped off the pro russia step, participate of most count for protection. the territory officials say that

disadvantaged by most of us pro west of government, which has dismissed that appeal as public. and that's it from me, and it is the next step attempts to best gather office the
