a and i was an extra 500000000000 euros in funding on top of the 5000000000 a great by you countries yesterday. so it was ukraine's and military allies meeting germany to discuss the next tom shift combined support for ukraine. paper on the table must be wondering how much they can trust american promises of support. i'm feel gaily by then and this is the day. the are allies and partners are here because they understand the stage. we have difficult sedation on the front line because of luck, all possibility mediation. so i leave here today fully determined to keep us security assistance and have munitions flowing. we're making progress for the needs to be continuous supply by munition. to is watching. the world is watching. history is watching also on the day of the us as it is

prepared to defend the philippines as tensions. we have china rise in the south china sea to these waterways are critical to the philippines with security to us economy. but they're also created to the interest of the region, the united states and the world. and that's why we stand with the philippines and stand by our are in flat defense commitments. welcome to the day. now germany says it will provide a new 500000000. your military aid package for ukraine defense, but it's about as piss torres, and i'm so new package on the sidelines of talks with the united states and ukraine's other ministry allies. us is around stine and ice in germany, despite the refusal of the us congress to pass further ukraine spending. this step is to reset the us of positive rely upon us. and to us defense secretary lloyd often promised that the us back to us support would not waive pray and people will

not let who can prevail. and neither will we as president buying has said, we will not walk away. now putting hope to isolate ukraine, instead he left himself alone with iran and north korea. so i leave here today fully determined to keep us security assistance and have munitions flowing and make no mistake. po is watching. the world as watching in history is why. that's the have a look at a sort of political correspondent hands brand to welcome hans lloyd. often they're saying he's countries resolution, it's support for ukraine, but with the us congress holding up those billions in support for kids do is coalition partners actually believe him as well? uh, i mean there was a lot of, uh, tool called uh,

resolution of confidence of trust, of, uh, mutual support and so on. uh, by the end, the end uh thing, uh, the coalition partners don't really need to be convinced that lloyd awesome and, and to joe biden, at the bottom, it's ministration is serious. and what it's saying that you have the whole problem isn't congress, is the republicans in congress. so whatever, going hosting and discussion partners say at the moment, and that's where the decision is going to be made. that's where the crucial decision is going to be made. so everything that to it was decided to here today or rather and run stand today, and germany is planning ahead to there are lots of commitments to ukraine. there's lots of money being pledge to. but if the united states does not come through, if congress does not come through with that package and then things are going to become a lot more difficult. okay, so we've got this 500000000 euros announced by germany's defense administer. how

far is that like me to go? still compared to the 300000000 euros at the whitehouse. a non stu last week that was somehow squeezed onto the defense budget to go towards your tray and this driven packages $550000000.00. so it's almost twice that and still it's only in the end, some sort of a stop gap. it's something that will help ukraine over a few weeks, maybe uh, over at the battlefront, there's a 100 ahmed vehicles, a 100 transport vehicles. there are various rounds of ammunition that are being delivered immediately and others that are promised in a few months time. so it's a substantial amount of money. it's not to be sneeze at, obviously, but it's not going to really change because of the low in any significant amount of that. the bigger issue that's your credit has been complaining about for months now is i mean nation as far as the story is the general defense that minnesota is also from is $10000.00 rounds. is that a lot? well, that's 10000 drawn from german stockpile. so in that sense, it's

a very important signal, but it's, and in fact, it's not brought to much at all. it's enough for a few days. maybe there's always been this battle of quantity against quantity in the last 2 that were ever since, as well. started and the russians are producing harmonization and much, much larger quantities and using it in much longer, larger quantities than the ukrainians are able to do this. so it's really a question of reducing will ammunition. that's really where the crucial situation is at the moment. and the west of the west and the lions is desperately trying to bring together more ammunition to supply it to your client as quickly as possible. thanks a lot hence. hence, brent a wooden crate is preparing for renewed, rushing themselves so long. it's front line that's according to a report from u. k. ministry of defense. fortifications are likely to include anti tank obstacles, trenches and mine fails. therefore says ukraine stole counter offensive,

has forced its military onto a more defensive forcing. copious skin the hockey region was occupied in the 1st days of rest as full scale invasion back in 2022. but it was liberated by ukrainian forces. nearly 6 months later, the deputy who has been to the time to see how residents are preparing for the fact of another russian petticoat and read sirens are part of everyday life. for the 3 and a half 1000 people remaining inconvenienced before russia's invasion, were 10 times as many people here. this hospital is the only intact medical facility in the town. but much of it has been destroyed. on the 5th of the doctor's remains and are forced to work and improvise conditions. and the most personal, we have relief for the occupation. we have flipped through the daily patient for people with lifting basement inquiry doors on the floor when there were shedding

with most we didn't leave, we could use sweet lit well. and as long as there were rockets, a more tires. but when the bumping started, we weren't a friend to to the government believes that the ukraine armed forces will hold, could be on which he is ready to leave if the finding intensifies and she's afraid to live through another occupation them. so i think members of the search and rescue group bruises on the hand to evacuate people from the front. there are more than 60 volunteers and the roses on the hand team. they do not receive a salary for their work and most hold down full time jobs, as they say they're motivated by the desire to help despite the risk to their lives . so before we came up with say we had a big inflection, summer, and early autumn, a d. my niece, it's going to come on the bank. then each team would take $150.00 to $200.00 people per month for 10. we get the spot vendor with some kind of decline for choice. so

let's see. oh, now let's showing who started again the day and a lot of people know every day someone nice or even several people when they have continued to do more of an attack, has started to spread in april. so that's why people are leading more often. just yourself, which in that for each other on the outskirts of could be on alexander sees off nadia in autumn. she moved to the city from the village of pet to a positive car which was almost completely destroyed. now she's afraid to stay and could be honest on those who was for this person the my son said mom li feet is going to be held here. oh my god, he said there will be a 2nd enough discuss if you ever took i didn't think so. i was thinking ok, maybe god will take us away. you bring everything for nadia and others like her life from the front line has become too dangerous. the travelling further from the

russian border in a desperate search for safety as the war drags on they are a secretary of state as describes his country's commitments to defending the philippines as i implied onto a blank and was visiting manila as part of a tour of the region to reinforce us support for allies against china and made his pledge and made continuing, rising tensions in the south china sea of chinese and philippine ships face off of a race to which beijing has laid claim. china also says the us has no rights to intervene and maritime disputes in the region is to blankets that'd be us would stand by the fed opinions in the face of amy aggression by china to these waterways are critical to the philippines to the security to us economy, but they're also printed to the interest of the region of the united states and the world. that's why we stand with the philippines and stand by our in flag defense

commitments, including under the mutual defense treaty article for extends to arm attacks on the filipino armed forces, public vessels aircraft, including those of his coast guard anywhere in the south trying to see the most important is we stand together in our determination to uphold international law for the philippines, for everyone else against any preventative actions. richard, hey, data is an academic columnist, the policy advisor, i focused on the asia pacific region. welcome to dw. so let's pick up from that last point from and to the blinking. why all relations between the us and the philippines and hyper drive the most that's, that's a correct way of putting. and as you know, the philippines has been having tassels. we try and over the past 6 months for a tickler and either a lot of your conditions. but more importantly, the philippines is not the only one of the claimant states in the south china sea. it also has some military base is just over

a 100 and not to go in miles south of taiwan, which is another flash point. so the philippines is at the center of multiple flash one. and these are us street, the alley. so this way the americans are very excited about the direction of the philippine foreign policy under the current president markets junior. okay, so i'm, and we, we, we've heard of the secretary stifles are describing these countries commitment to the philippines as iron clad. that's how i implied, is that to do things because we've, we've seen what that's meant enough down his style. and we've, we've heard the us as potential next president's commitments to nato. we've seen the us congress is a current iron clad guarantees to ukraine might. and political infighting. so how she, what can the philippines be that it's not just going to be one of the other bodies lifted up by the way. so it's a treaty l. a. so there's a mutual advanced routine between the united states and the philippines. i personally, whenever i hear the iron clad and i get kind of skeptical precise because it's using so many contacts where it was not very assuring. but what's important thing

is, you know, from the nixon administration, all the way to the obama administration, america more or less strategic undergrads. he never really clarified to the philippines whether the mutual defense or do with the play. exactly. should there be a conflict with china in the south china sea, but the change around 220182019, under trump administration. and later on, also adopted by the, by the end of the station. and very clearly, if we're looking at troops, vessels, or aircraft, come under attack by any 3rd party, automatically, the mutual defense really should apply and follow what the americans are also now, focusing on with the filipinos is also in, again, so called grays on fritz. because china is not using it's naval forces or let's say, you know, great how, how it forces to, to always push its claims. sometimes it's relying on maritime militia forces. so the trying to draft really over the philippines and the united states has to take their life and make it much more operational, effective against grays on strategy used by china. and that's where i think where the challenge is. okay. obviously, china is not just gonna stand by and that's

a best happen. we'll hear from foreign ministry spokesman lynn john and then a come back to you. it may well push it now, but the us is not a policy to the south china sea issue. and there's no right to intervene in maritime issues between china and the philippines. either it's mandatory cooperation with the philippines must not on demand china sovereignty and maritime writes in the south china sea. nor should it endorse the philippines, illegal claims. i think to. so richard, hey, dian, i'd tell us more than about why the us feels. it has a dog in the south china sea fight. what i mean, technically speaking, the americans are neutral on the status of the dispute, the land features in the area, but the war they have is a china is militarized. and a lot of this disputed land features. it's elbowing its way in may actually create a network of military bases that eventually may allow china to impose what they call an air defense identification. so any short training and international water, when trillions of dollars of trade passed every year into

a potential chinese lake that is a big worry for the americans. not to mention if there are skirmishes within philippines, india and the chinese that's also going to raise questions to what americans great ability, some multiple things are happening just just to, i'm not about that point. explain to us the why that concerns the americans so much . why this particular area? of course, i mean it's, it's arguably one of the most important international ceilings along the persian goal. for instance, because of the month of trade, the pastor. but let's not forget for the americans, freeze off navigation and over flight in those areas is a national interest. that's what they made it clear. even since the, i mean, uh obama administration. so they don't want china to of soul control or didn't important body folder, which is important to americans projection of power, but also international trade. let's turn around that and look at this from the chinese ends of the telescope. why is china's up so lang such a vigorous claim is to this region?

well, for the chinese they have so called he started. right. so i don't know like i'd where i was wrong. have supposedly, you know, of 700 years ago, pastor, the area of the chinese and sisters back and they went into their area. but we know that strategically, this is an important for chinese idea for chinese, that they cannot be a really super power if they cannot dominate their own adjacent waters. just as america did in the caribbean, back in the 19th century on word. so they just feel entitled to, to be in control of what it's called self shyness. in each shyness, i mean we can have a base board with it as a proper way of calling it, but that has given trying a sense of entitlement, not to mention fisher or your sources, or within gaster trillions of dollars of on top resources in deer. so there are multiple things in state of state for china in the chinese believe that it's 3rd time to shine and dominate or adjacent waters. ok, so we've talked about this mutual, the defense bond between the united states and the philippines. when does that, how does that take came because we have seen, even as recently as the 5th of this month,

where chinese naval vessels and philippine naval vessels of philippines officially, vessels fishing boats coming to conflict. yeah, i mean actually the argument right though is that, is this the so called gray zone kind of operation be trying to do this? in fact, there was another clash between the chinese american forces and the philippine navy . and for finishing the naval officers, including what vice admiral of the philippines they had injuries in your hands because the water count on is pretty strong, increases through the window and all of that. so i think now behind this thing is the conversation is, at some point, do we say this is almost lisa, right? because now there's a lot of legal, less debate about what i do need to agree because it goes no, nobody wants to go and go to exempt. i mean, that's the thing. um, i think the hope in the philippines is that if they quote their line and there's sufficient and modul over the horizon support the americans. so frances, solve the dice when there's a positive between 2 sites, you have an american drone in the area,

an american worship in deer that will keep things under an even keel, or at least make china rethinking strategies. because just to be very clear about this. 2 years ago, the philippine high, the president called the to have that who was and tell you western who costs of the obama, who was very much close to china. and i think the chinese are really shocked to see how, under marcus junior, the philippines decided training as a kind of a bastion of democratic resistance against training. this part of it was on a final appointment relations between the philippines and china all day talking to each other, all, all they just know doing each other in the say, both right. i think there's scramble on the ground or in the seas for that matter. but at the same time, we do have functional diplomatic channels. but the problem is that i think china is still coming to terms with the new reality of philip and foreign policy, which is not the subservience and anti western positioning that'd be under present or to the detect, the good talking to you. thank you so much for coming in and look and see what we should have done that you guys are. so

the 31st we create the next james bond movie well for you to a new face. and the role of the comic produced by the process to decide who will step into a devil of 7 shoes as being kept strictly confidential business from making a reporting that the iron are in a taylor johnson has been formally off at the job and will sign the contract in the coming days. so far that has been no official confirmation that kick ass on demand just as one of the names that really meant to be in the running to take over from daniel craig. james chapman, as profess film studies at the university of alaska in the u. k. he's also all of

his license to through a cultural history of the james bond films. welcome to the w professor. what do you make of these reports blinking iron? taylor johnson and james bond. hello phelan, fine. so inviting me on the show this evening. i'm. i'm, i'm interested in these room is um i went to the jones, his name has been linked to bomb. maybe for the last couple of years. yeah, so i mean it's not was assigned as soon as being said, can i it says, this time it seems to be getting traction broadcast as a picking it up. the book is all a shortening, quite significantly. we might still be in the situation of a room uh, because fact, but my, its also is the thing that a cast whom do decision about splitting the leads and the show. what are the ones

that have control over the an absence of a visa, real story. i renewed them on mine and lost control the now it says, here's the thing to watch, sort of, um i just started my tie, hey, what sort of out. and so it gets picked to play james bond as well. the complex sections cause an amount with a couple exceptions. most of it does cost as bone of being sort of between being complete and iris, but also not being really deep to stop and start off. usually it's being somebody who is on the cusp of stall them. who is castro connery is a classic example. sometimes people say that i've called and was told when i 1st got soon talk to now he was and he was a very well established television act to embrace it. it had some fairly neat t as supporting roles either. above the top goes or pulsing bells in both british american sounds. so he was the doctor was already on the way. yeah. not

a bones. i'm the kind of pulled him into the super starter. but he was, he was pretty well um, anywhere on the way already. we saw that also we'd be done with craig low down. it was, it was somebody left field, charlie the cd tab. them success in the la k. it being one of the low cost homes as a supporting village tags. and so he was still on the coast to style them. really the only a know it was that a caps is boned with george ladies and he was calling to is this placement up on imagine the secret service, 9 to 69. and basically there was a little saving model we met in previous re, re liked to expand, so to that, to, to tv commercials. and the big stall who was cast as all the other that these companies own kind of this was a bunch of more and that was, it wasn't really a movie style. but he was a very well known television stuff. sightings in the $96.00 days was one of the biggest indicates that um,

programs in well the was so the internationally the in the sense much it was a more familiar sites that he was not even showing company at the time. the autumn was, was based on small thing and so they will not that long list of, of access who have faded. how's the screen depiction of buttons sort of evolved over the years? yes, i think he just bought something different to the substance. coal ingredients that make of, of bolton county to which you count, we've changed too much these, these, these, these profit is a, is shown very is um, review the sexism we might say. and then overseas of the physical action here. but he's alternated between on low level of extreme preventing the addition of bone represents about $500.00 a mole. and i did actually in the dining room, kate barons, which is um,

either very holidays stuff um either quite and stay coming psychological package, i think was interesting, although the people debates was better than the other. and so those are the who is and then the bones as well at the time of that testing. and usually the new via the costumes. what time they have um, they're supposed to be very successful in paid films. all their credit was a controversial choice, is found to adjust the box up as of being the most successful service history. so what, what we've been funding since? what 1962 with dr. no, why is it this this franchise still so successful? yeah. now do you think it was the 1st film? uh, 1953 was even savings, the snowball, and i would say we could remember the employment you guys have on best buy. so didn't bomb these as long as he got a golf the type so that big pops would be like sure. hello, who's a bit like tarzan who is capable of i don't recall and cultural re

framing. so in the, in the findings, the agenda was of a meat trying to send trade and to the british empire kind of hit well that was past the films have moved on. but the main to contemporary kind of it even is the, uh, geo political and cultural climates of and in changes. so i think the ability to reinvent them within the service of it. yeah. looks like we're moving towards, you know, hopefully you know, the answer to that and you've gone back. so brings a, so stack change, i re generational say control cuz he's talking so much for joining us at times. chapman from the university, i've left you a and that is today you can follow uh, tame on social media at cdw news. if it's the latest headlines you're looking for, that's always the website to dw a dot com,
