a bite and has also signal seized by d. between our mazda mystery could be each to which many here who would be a lifeline of destruction and loss. a germany is an investigating potential, a russian espionage that's after russian state media published what it claims is a recording is a conversation between high ranking german military officers. they reportedly discuss the possibility of ukraine bonding, the main bridge linking crimea, to russia using german cruise missiles. the bridge has already been attacked twice since the war began, but berlin has refused to supply. can you with a long range torres themselves cited in the transcripts of the conversation? germany's defense ministry told d w. it is looking into whether it's communications were interested. the audios authenticity is still yet to be officially confirmed. so now let's talk to dw

political corresponded emily guardian who is following this story for us. and we, can you tell us a little bit more about what's actually in these recordings? yes, so like i said, i mean we don't have any official confirmation yet. thoughts. one of them is public broadcast of has now actually reported that they are indeed real. now i've listened to this conversation on what you hear is see officials from the, from the german on forces to very high ranking official, one general. and the other one was the inspector of the apples, and they are discussing or preparing for meeting with the german defense minister. both the stores who wanted a deep dive into the tourist. because the tourist christmas on has been in discussion in germany for weeks. will germany send it to your crime bullet not. and essentially, in this meeting, we are discussing logistics, discussing the technical side of possible deliveries the discussing. the effects of such delivery is what could you claim actually target if it did get and these christmas of bots, they also say from the very beginning that there is no political green light for

these deliveries. so these are all very c or right to cold discussions. now we know the defense ministry has made some comment, but anything else from the government? you know, so, so saw that has not been on any public statements on the matter. we know that the, but the, i'm going to say the german forces, the defense ministry is looking into the matter. but of course, this raises the big questions on the security of conversations. and we know that in line in this conversation, one of the, one of the, one of the people in this, in this coal was someone was a general who was up in time in um, in single pull up the, it was a big sharva. and um, apparently they also have to have used the platform with web ex, which is not a particularly say, oh, it is not a safe place, not gus mass was about off of a flips, such some sensitive nature. and so it raises the question of the security of

conversations and how they have dealt with them. but we've also heard from opposition, speakers, image them, and image and political landscapes. yeah. to say about this also suggests that you know what all the conversations could be. listened to by the russians totally. now, how does this release of this audio impact potentially germany's potential future decisions in terms of giving the ukrainians that torres, they so badly want? well, the content of this conversation with seriously challenges the argument about trump little of shelf has been making some not sending tourist myself to your crime. essentially it's time for all shelf has said in the past that um, jimmy doesn't, will not send these must also your crime because a that could, that could, they could start talk. it's, we've in russia and be it would need a diamond pass now on the ground in your crime, helping your cleanings program themselves. now in this conversation, in this tape conversation, they basically say, well, actually it would not for quiet driving folders on the ground in ukraine. i'm not

a questions, you know, i'm not obviously questions. a main premise from top floor schultz and not delivering these weapons. so it raises a lot of questions, little so raises the question of the terms of olaf shoals know what he was saying. that wasn't just trying to find an argument for not sending him. so essentially the stuff put the question of course delivers often the error that's a bit very interesting and regarding thank you so much for joining us. here's a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. that's prime minister mark rita and ukrainian president. let him hear zalinski have signed a deal that was pushed, the netherlands military a to ukraine, up to 2000000000 euros this year. the 2 leaders met in the crate in city of car key, which is frequently targeted by russia. argentina's president, heavier malay has told parliament he does not need their support to push his package of sweeping policy changes. he promised to use executive decrees if
