the the, this is the w news live from bell in german lawmakers back trump flu shots this decision. note to send taurus missiles to ukraine. they vote against an opposition motion to supply the advanced cruise missiles to keep off shots and fists. doing so would risk pulling germany into the war, alyssa, wayne in private estate and greta. she will need to purchase chops and lashelle its to ensure germany does pull it, come to help you trade, defend itself against the russians. invasion will bring you an interview with alex wait in link to the

menu, please. mckinnon. welcome to the program. german will make us have back to trots electronics, and as i said, again, sending taurus cruise missiles to ukraine. but the debates in belin over the long range missiles is intensifying divisions within germany's coalition. government opposition empties some in the governing coalition, demanding the government to live at the tourist. ms. solve the keys council that will of phillips and his s p. d. policy or against rough idea slicing the risk of germany being dragged into the war during the debates. a senior position politician such as charlottes, was playing into vladimir person's hands, while others said, it was time now to push for peace. either from mind to the same as your suppose it proved and has only few missed approaches, aggression against ukraine. access to that is the result stuff. this stuff is on

top, is a snitch on that side. so isn't it time we not only talked about how to wage war, but also about how to freeze this conflict and stop it once they talk all the end. he kind of dw as chief political correspondent, nina has, that has been following the, the debate in parliament for us. i asked her about the german government's hesitation to provide ukraine with tourist missiles as well. i think we need to be very clear here. it's not the german government to say it is the german john slot will of so it's who has now said repeatedly that he doesn't want to send the tourist missiles to you, craig know now because foreign minister, for example, is much more open to that idea. but so is this top credo, is that germany must not become a policy to the war support for ukraine? absolutely. germany getting involved itself. absolutely not on this side. so it has meant that so it's for the past 2 years now has hesitated every single time the ukrainians have asked for a certain weapon type that was true for the patriots. it was true for the let put

bottle tanks and it is now definitely true for the tourist cruise missiles. and we have to keep in mind that that is a highly powerful and file reaching long range, cruise missile that can hit targets that a very far away around 500 kilometers and is very precise. so it will have chart says that he doesn't want to german soldiers to be involved in anything to do with the ukrainians using this western above all, he does not want them and boots on the ground. so soldiers that would help with target identification, etc. and these critics of saying that that wouldn't be necessary ukrainians could learn to operate the tourist independently. so it does make the question, what else is behind will up. so it says, no, it's critics of thought it wondering whether he does not trust that you create any leadership that he's not sure that they wouldn't use it to attack targets like most go. but i'd say that is a very, very important reason why so it's is so hesitant and he's been looking at polls and some 60 percent of demons are against the delivery of the tourist. okay,

just briefly, nina. i mean, is this now going to be the end of the debate in germany as well? no, it won't. it's true that there are deep divisions between the policies that form the government will have choices espy days against the delivery. while the 2 of the policies in the government, a very outspoken and much more open to sending ukraine everything, it needs to win this war. but today, the vast majority of them said that even though they are divided on the issues and not going to full for the positions tricks, and that they will prioritize governments debility and unity. and they also said that the funds that has already given the green light to sending long range weapons to ukraine. we got to similar votes. a few weeks ago i put in this talk, we're ultimately the one motion that cooled for the delivery of a long range weapons was passed. so in theory, the one in stock has given or left. so it's the green light. the big question is, is he going to make use of that? because ultimately it is not the bonus tag. it is the tons of himself who will decide on this motto, w as chief political correspondent nina has a nina,

thank you. littlest wayne in prime, minnesota, in greta, she juanita isabel in today's the talks with trump, so that will shorts. the too late, as discussed, security and defense issues. this idea has been one of the strongest supporters of ukraine since russia's full scale invasion. 2 years ago. the baltic states us that it supports the debate of sending west and troops to ukraine, germany as agreed to station a time brigade of some 5000 troops permanently in this way. now, as part of nato defense measures and i have the chance to speak to prime minister, she monita off to a meeting with all of charlotte. i also to tell us what she discussed with the german chancellor a good afternoon. most probably, i will not surprise then you one very much because we've discussed all the most spending issues spoke by law to know like a permanent brigade of the german but to swear in virginia and preparations for

this. and of course, a more global issues you political issues like security in europe and of course war and ukraine. me did you uh sean specialists defend torres myself to you trying as well. um i think uh, this is a very focused debate on one particular sort of weapons and we've seen as it was mentioned quite similar debates about all the sorts of, of weapons in the past. so uh, i do not think i want to really very much to commend them, but i do hear what translators think. but my point is that i think i'll problem is that we are very predictable to profession put in because we constantly sation what we are not going to do. and the end we impose the red lines to our solve. these are self imposed red lines, but putting does not have

a new red lines. and when we speak about the not doing something because the fear of escalation. so let's look at the other side because the other side is constantly blah, blah, buying about, for example, nuclear weapons and, and, and similar things is absolutely reckless and absolutely not in a position to sort of value this uh, self which treatment off um, off you bring in supporters to your office countries supporting ukraine. so of course this is for the german government to decide but um, but, but i think this is the biggest problem of, of uh, also western allies. so few brain that we constantly sort of uh, put tao sauce and um, in a situation where we deny that we will do something just to support your brand. rather than saying that we must do whatever it takes for you praying to win this war. and that was split between you and prime minister in great ocean when he to speaking to me a little earlier. now they're almost 240000 russian citizens living here in germany

. and that number is believed to have grown since the invasion of ukraine. many of them will have a chance to votes in russia's presidential election, which stops on friday. the w spoke to some members of the russian desperado here in ballon to find out the hopes on this is for the future. notionally, this gilded fortress is where a barrel ends russians would come to catch their boat. since on these elections these days, they mostly come to mourn, alexi, nevada, and the flogging me approaching fish. this critic was fine day and a penal colony last month. another brutal nail in the coffin of democracy try as we might, some are still hoping to keep the flame alive. to arrive in the back of the embassy routines. opponents are trying to link their right to be

freedom for political prisoners shots. the campaign to rename the st. alexi navarro, and the stress of his deemed almost 50000 signatures. the com. i wasn't enough on the support and i think that the fight is not over this basically stuff. sure why your why and this today is a part of the fight against pollutants propaganda. we just above this, a space for artists nearby. thousands of russians packed into a cosy theatre in search of inspiration, hope a therapy on stage discussion about the upcoming vote. about war on about what to do next. research agenda. expect any good from the selection you by you. are you going to vote no no. why not? yeah,

i don't know what nobody would say. i don't know. he would probably call to do something, but i don't know if i should go to the russian embassy. i will will. who will you vote for? i guess i will destroy the ballots. probably i will just vote for more than one candidates and maybe i will write our president is not on the right in the last president. i think most of the people who came to germany through europe do not have much expectations from these elections because it's very clear what the outcome is going to be. e, mid that feeling of helplessness sense of guilt prevails over vladimir per teams war on ukraine. but no matter where you live in the west or in russia, you feel responsibility for this. 4 the demonstration, no of so on edge. everyone here knows all too well type routine has deployed the

boss a type of process to keep control and crush the same just a minutes ago. actually, consulate as a person that has spoken to me is a set time. um, meaning that she's been observing all she's been present to this action. uh and so there has been registering year things that is happening here. so i'm really bad. how about i just muscles? i'm afraid to go back to russia. my homeland, who could think that perhaps this month, a political exile who tells me he was imprisoned to rush off or fighting corruption, or fearful new one, the choice for us to put in use. and we saw him a secret anatomy. and the, when the you create the, you create orders, go to the said option, the some people don't believe which is what this continues. let me see is would be with the bottle field. part of the question on the let go change

a diminishing prospect. all that is left for those here are small lights of coverage and expressions of defiance and hope for a better future. israel is coming on the increasing pressure to allow more humanitarian aid into gaza. the you and says that around the course of goals is $2000000.00. strong population is now on the brink of salvation. the construction of a small payers underway as a ship loaded with $200.00 tons of food slowly makes its way from cyprus towards the besieged territory. but aid agencies of warning, but ad drops. i'm the maritime cargo on no alternative to land deliveries. so i'll see w correspondent tanya, excitement who's in jerusalem. why israel said that it was going to quote flood garza with humanitarian aid, while also attacking an aid sunset in russia,

which killed and wounded thousands. yeah, certainly, but we still have to see what that actually means to flood gaza with age and to see it really happening on the ground. what we're seeing right now is actually international efforts to diversify, to bring in aid into goals of, to a lot of pressure has been put on as well to open more and then crossings which has not really happened on tuesday, a isabel has opened a new gate gate 9 to 6, as they say to let in 6 trucks for the world of food program. that's a direct way into northern garza. but 8 organizations have said they need a more of those uh, you know, land access because this is the quickest and fastest way to get into gaza. and what we're seeing is, of course, the international efforts, bye of the air to drop age into gaza, but also to open this maritime corey door where there's

a ship now and the way expected potentially later today to come to gaza. but also the u. s. military wants to build a floating p a that will uh, take some time. but we also heard, of course, from 8 organization said they're cooling for seats for you. so that's a people can get the age safely because it's the distribution in golf at why the war is going on with all kinds of logistical obstacles as well. they're saying that it's so difficult to get the 8 especially into northern garza, tanya explained that reporting that from jerusalem, now space x is style sheet rock. it has broken up while re entering the let's see the rock. it was in the final stretch of a one hour test flights. the last it all from south texas and headed out over the gulf of mexico know crew or soft lights were on board. the company owned by 11 mouth says it made thousands to us thousands

of improvements to stop it since it's 1st to test flights last year. both of those last just minutes before blowing up with that you're up to date. thanks so much for watching. dw, the, the votes, people have to say the, that's why we listen to, based on the ritual. every weekend on d w, the our universe, our planet are.
