ukrainian presidents expressed is hope for victory to german lawmakers. the new motto may have the impression that poaching is going to be that forever. and it will not be an end to the war. but that is not the case, it's an illusion. it's an illusion that can be destroyed by leadership and decisions and make success as we will join the achieve. together with you german angry and ukraine will always be grateful for this. he also issued the stark warning against making peace with vladimir putin silly noble. i'm a united. if somebody wants to try him, not to, jim would always destroy any hope of coming to an agreement. you don't know what these mean. parliament was well attended to. so many members of the left is b, s, w, and the far right a f, d, and boy, you called at the speech due to their pro russian sympathies. so lensky is

parliament address followed the conference in berlin, focusing on ukraine's reconstruction. this could potentially be financed by frozen russian assets. if leaders reach an agreement, lensky did not end the day empty handed. he secured a promise of additional german ammunition for ukrainian weapons. this pledge was made as he visited ukrainian troops and germany were being trained on surface to air patriot missile systems. they are crucial to enable keys to locate and shoot down russian missiles, which is also what makes them a target. germany has delivered to so far and pleasures, and one more to few for zalinski to see if it's possible to bring to train more equipment to defend the assistance i will support. for now, germany will only deliver additional missiles for the ones already in ukraine. or for more on this, we can speak with our chief international editor, richard walker,

who joins us from the ukraine. recovery conference here in berlin and dw corresponding to connelly who joins us from key. welcome to you both. richard. what pleasure this had been made at the conference here in berlin to help ukraine's recovery. yes, sorry. so we should stress that the ukraine recovery conference is not really about weapons, of course, weapons have come up. and this is really, of course, that is the main priority of the ukrainian institute to get enough weapons to be fighting this war with a particular focus on the defenses. and, but everything is connected across those air defenses of very, very important to pub protecting ukraine's power system, which is be not count substantially in recent months. and part of this conference is being about trying to find ways to make sure that ukraine can keep its power system really working. so that's investments in, in both gas power plants, but also the kind of distributed energy production that you can get with things

like solar. but i think one of the most interesting comments that i heard here as the last couple of days was from one official. if you said, you know, the end of a panel discussion that the road to freedom is paved with technicalities. and i think that's been a lot of the discussions here that it's about mechanisms to try to encourage international corporations to invest in ukraine. of course that can be thinking, well this is a country at war, is our investment safe. so funding mechanisms, insurance mechanisms to try to provide that insurance, that assurance to those companies that it is, was making those investments. so a lot of discussion on that kind of technical level here, but also the organizers saying that in essence, this is a networking event. it's a way to bring together ukrainian, not just politicians on the national level, but also municipalities companies and international companies. and also international municipalities also taking place here. and for what i've heard from delegates here. they do appreciate that opportunity. nick in key for delegates of

the conference. richard mentioned here in berlin, are talking about recovery in ukraine. but russia's war and ukraine is continuing, is that premature to talk about rebuilding the country? it was certainly, terry, if you speak to people here in ukraine, lots of them will tell you that this is more about your paying countries. germany of each states being more comfortable talking about economic aid, rebuilding schools and power structures and talking about weapons. this is partly due to the fact that when this was planned about a year ago, it seemed like the will was going to some most stable direction that there would be some kind of maybe freezing. and that this would be more acute in terms of priorities rather than being situation where at the front lines are as kind of unclear and as in stable, unstable as they have been recent months. so this policy, that aspect here, but obviously ukraine's government needs the money to keep paying its pensions. it's wages, some of that stuff from outside, but also needs to raise tax inside the country. so it has to have a function called me to pay for its own me. and certainly that have been success is

a ukraine was able to basically restore export of its grains to the world to address. so that was something that no one really thought possible at the beginning of the wind rush, it was locating those ports to happen. so you have some success story, some proof that it is possible to grow and you basically run the economy under russian attack. but setting in terms of investment, it is a very difficult sell back in 2014. when you have the conflict and east, you could tell invest as well in their lives to 1000 kilometers from the front lines. nothing is going to happen in the, in the west, the country where you might invest, but now with russian solar tax itching will of the country. pretty much all the time. that is not something that the crane government can sell to investors. richard ukraine is concerned about waning international support present. soleski has recently been to several countries trying to rally more support is a succeeding to yeah. well i think you can see this

confidence very much in that light. it's heavy that this and the other into promising events that are taking place this year upon me about trying to signal to russia that the international community and ukraine are able to keep this show on the road. the kootenays, evidently aiming. but for a strategy of a loan was, is betting that he can at last, ukraine's military and also the west political will. and this is an effort to try to signal that, that is not the case. but is that really believed here? well, i mean, echoing maybe one or 2 of the things that nick to said there about the perspective if you have from ukrainians i spoke to. maybe i can tell you about a couple of conversations i had here. so one was with a representative of one of these municipalities. so let me just explain what's going on here. it's almost like there's a trade fact going on behind the political conference. so you walked around the center here and there all sorts of stands from companies, but also from local communities saying, you know, come and do business,

come and talk to us as a local community. so talking to, to, to the representative that they said that it is good to have this opportunity to, to discuss and, and try to build connections. but when they look at western political leaders standing up here, particularly german political leaders, he said in fact, and as making that the big popular nations of support, that they feel that there's an element of show in that they feel that the west and lead is increasing this has a kind of a charity operation wherever, as they not reflecting on their own responsibility. and particularly a country like germany was tried so hard to build connections with russia and not rest reflecting on their own responsibility that this war even happened in the 1st place. so i think you do have a lot of those very sort of well searching on cynical views of, of this whole operation here among some of the st. ukrainian delegates. nick, uh,

the ukranian government has pay some criticism for his handling of rebuilding efforts. briefly, what's behind that criticism? can you tell us as a 1st it's about having a plan this because chris isn't that rebuilding the energy sector is all happening and kind of piece meal at hawk way and there was a longer term strategy. you could say it's difficult to do that under those current and you have constant attacks from russian results. but then there's also the question to personnel basically to talk to ukraine officials, the vice premier in charge of reconstruction and the head of the reconstruction agency. the 1st was fired, the 2nd was result and basically forced to resign in recent days. so basically, you checked ukraine, turned out at this conference without the people that the german government and other western donors has been negotiating with for the best part of the last year. and there's course some here that was because they would just simply to independent ends to successful in that communication with western government. so there's a real sense that there isn't the continuity here and the kind of approach that would really and out result to be to be achieved. nick richard, richard,

thank you both very much. nick connelly are corresponded in team and here in berlin, attending the conference. our chief international editor, richard walker, will staying in germany. the country's defense minister is set to propose a new model for military service to prepare for a potential war morris. victoria says it would revive compulsory conscription, 13 years after it was a bali, according to his plans, young man would be obliged to fill out forms, detailing their willingness and ability to join the army and to actively serve if necessary. the story is said that germany should be ready to fight in a war by 2029. dw political corresponded. matthew mor joins me now for more. matthew, compulsory military service in germany was suspended in 2011. was defense minister of his story is trying to revive it. now. a terry,

i'm defense minister bar special races. really try to take the boo by the horns in a way that no defense minister has done in years. and he said, since you came into to the, to the roll into the office, which was in the aftermath of rushes and vision, he said he really wanted to, to, to turn around the button this rather jem and all misfortunes after years and decades of, of basically on being unloved, neglected, underfunded and just clothing alone. he really wants it to turn it into a fighting force again. and he's talked about making it war ready by 2029. and i use it as part of that. one of the targets that he said is about increasing the number of soldiers from around a 100 new 200-220-0000. and he's me sco ring around for a ways to do that to get people interested in the all me again, i'm one of the, the kind of the idea is essential going appears to be this conscription light model what, what this new conscription law looks like. matthew, can you give us some specifics? so, so late at the day, he will, he will, uh, on view his big,

his grand plan after months and months of research. but we've get, we've learned some of the details this morning through links to the media. and as it says, as we had there are some of the goals, basically a voluntary questionnaire or other questionnaire sent out to you. and jim. yeah, 1400000 people were talking about here on a partly fear we are from what we know fear. we have to feel that i could lead to a fine. i'm from not 400000 that the britain display of hoops to west a lot down to around 10000 new soldiers every year. but terry, this issue to the controversial not least because there are people who to celebrate to the end of conscription in 2011, as you say on her feel that it's not the right model for 2024. however, there are also concerns and the despair because they've, they're there, they're worried about how you kind of, how you, we then this, this, this, the, the new court, especially some of them who may not want to be there. and so the, it's, it's a kind of, it's a very control, controversial topic in germany. but we will see today whether you know,

the detailed run that we'll learn later today. and it seems to me that far as the stories is going for a kind of general approach as you see kind of as young village this product as his plans later today. matthews, thank you. that was our correspondence, matthew, more now to the war in gaza and her mouse has responded to the us back proposal for a cease fire. and guys, i was saying it was some amendments to the deal, neither israel, nor have mazda, of publicly committed to the plan. the united states had been hoping for an outright acceptance of the deal by both sides. secretary state hans any blinking has spent the last few days travelling across the middle east trying to promote it . on monday, the un security council endorsed the plan calling on both is real and him us to enact it immediately without conditions or sleeve. take a closer look now at the original deal that blanking is trying to get all sized sign out to. it's made up of 3 phases in the 1st the release of some hostages,

the return of palestinian prisoners and partial troop withdrawal. under a 6 week truce. the 2nd includes a permanent ceasefire, yet to be negotiated. that would mean the full withdrawal of israeli forces from the strip. the 3rd phase would focus on a plan to rebuild garza or more of this. let's cross over to professor simon, may born his middle east, at least at the lancaster university in the u. k. thanks for being with us. so i'm a israel and her mouse are under pj, pressure to approve the un backed seized by a proposal for gas. so what's your assessment of the likelihood of this deal actually getting done? well, yeah, you're right to say that was huge pressure here on all sides. it is pretty clear from the un making this commitment a security council passed in this resolution that,

that risk growing pressure on israel on come us to actually get a ceasefire. not some surprising give them a scale of that. you monetary of suffering. the scale of the devastation across gaza. now the likelihood of it actually coming off however, is i think it's pretty difficult to assess. the 1st phase of, of the plan as you've just outlined, is, is perhaps the most probable and the most likely. but it gets off fully and far more complex when we move into phases 2 and 3, and i'm particularly worried when we get to those stages. now kata has been hosting these truce talks and other arab countries, like egypt and jordan, are involved to how much influence and simon to do these countries have in the negotiations, especially with respect to hum us a what's about putting pressure off from us. and i think in the sense that the cutoff has his loan being an ally, host of how much, not necessarily

a sup pulitzer. but they've been open to, to play and home to some of the, from us. because like harlot michelle, is flag gods are in the past. so it has a good deal of influence and not respect. and also perhaps more important thing is that it has the money and commodities obviously, particularly concerned about how garza is going to be rebuilt. the money has to be found somewhere in the gulf states, but in particular is going to have a big role to play. so i would imagine the doha is got the ability to it's a good deal of influence. but it's not so much the homicide that, that i think is the concern here with regard to accepting this deal. we've heard key figures suggesting that they all they are willing to accept. it is more on the right side. i think that's why things getting ready to complex that will tell us more about how the home us leadership is dealing with this situation. is it?

is it clear to you what their strategy is? a lot, particularly. i think the from the, from the very offset. all of this on october 7, it's clear that the how much leadership has, has set how on a particular trajectory and found itself in and what is that they didn't necessarily want to find itself. and we've heard that the actual attacks that was planned was far more limited than, than what actually happened then that the, the devastation of thought terrorist attack was not what was originally intended or least. so we are led to believe. so that tells us that there is a lock of coordination. there is a lack of a clear strategy and that certainly coming out with regard to what is being happening garza and in the month sense. and that's not surprising, given the political situation and gaza, given the realities on the ground of life and gaza in this conflict. there is

intense speculation, simon, about what will become of gauze after the war. and what do you think is the most likely scenario for how that territory will be governed? well, it depends who you're asking. yeah. because the international community wants to p a to be the main sort of driver of politics. and that will say that or in the gaza strip israel post amino 30th. sorry, this riley's a, perhaps a little less inclined to do that because that opens the door so much influence and benjamin netanyahu set that. that can be know how much in, because that he's, he's who gets hacked on this idea or speak to him, come us. and erotic hating it and dr. leaves a bit of a problem, a conundrum because of this comes of late. that is why he wants to how much presence in gaza because they have just enjoy this absolutely devastating powers the talk. but at the same time, the international community wants

a democratic space for people to engage politically in gaza. and boston could potentially, as it has been in the past, lead to how much and that would be on pallets of both of many and as well. and indeed many in the international community. so there's a, there's a real conundrum here as to what happens next. but i think in terms of the most likely scenario, i would imagine it would be some type of by the hour or international peacekeeping force that would serve as a transition or re sort of role. but then what happens after that is the big question is kicking the question of the quote unquote the day after just a little bit further down the road. so i'm good. thank you very much. that was simon may bon middle east analyst and professor of lancaster university in the u. k . now, to the us, and hunter biden has become the 1st child of a sitting us president to be convicted of

a crime. a jury found him guilty of lying about his drug addiction when buying a hand gun in 2018. the dates has not yet been set for sentencing, but it's expected to take place in the next few months. and emotional moments between a father and son watched by the world's media. us president joe biden flew back to his home in the usa to delaware, to see his family off to his son. home to biden was convicted on firearms charges. the verdict caps the turbulent period and hunter biden's life. when he struggled with an addiction to crack cocaine, a tourist just took 3 hours to find the president's son guilty of lying on a screening form about his legal drug use to buy a revolver. come to bite him, was also convicted of possessing the gun. legally. no one in this country is

above the law. every one must be accountable for their actions. even this defend. shortly off to the verdict, the us president was in campaign, moved, highlighting his record on gun control as an event which made no mention of his son, the change in the nation. you really or you're changing the nation. the bills upon the doesn't have executive actions mind restrictions taken to reduce con, route more than any of my predecessors. and i suspect more than all them. combine the preston to ready face is a tight race for re election in november. and it's not clear of his son's conviction will 10 potential vote is away from joe biden. pays off against donald trump, an opponent whose own conviction for falsifying business records, and many criminal prosecutions have not dented his popularity.
