the top of the global agenda. they as world leaders, meat, and then use across europe, ranging from raising funds in berlin at a pulley, italy to coordinating weapons deliveries by nato allies in brussels to ending the week in switzerland, at a summit, talking about peace, something ukrainian president beloved america. lensky says, is only realistic once he can protect his country's aerospace, that it was a lot they were going to, you know, as long as we are not able to robert brush, the ability to terrorize ukraine. pizzey will not have a genuine interest in sitting down to table. when we get our air defense, you see, i'm a substitute for everything is that will save you for each color pen is available. german chancellor of soul says he'll contribute a 3rd patriot anti missile system. i don't need where germany is in charge of

coordinating air defense capabilities for the pre berlin has struggled for months to get other allies to step up a little mixed up under the eyes long as it's because those you today is disappoint, you crate. it now do you have any the talking to every single falsified the one with all of us repetitions. lack of forward planning, plus delayed deliveries, have play deadlines, assistance to ukraine, says former nato official, camille grant, and who the we only knew 6 months ago that ukraine would need their defenses. the problem as being repeatedly, that the decisions tend to be taken and to be the right decisions. but they often now taken about 6 months to a year late at their fall, creating a windows of about changes from the russians to take advantage of the fact that the training is out of the pride from munition and defense is on the unit. until now, the us had been coordinating monthly you cream such meetings,

but in part due to apprehension about what might happen after american elections in november, nato secretary general young stilton burge is proposing the alliance take over this process. even though some 20 participating countries are not needle members stills and bring says he expects defense ministers to approve the plan at this meeting. that we need to empower me to do the job. i'm happy with it. as long as there is long term planning, a long term effort, a long term commitment that are visible to the trainings, to the russians, into our sense, to enable us to avoid those and stop and go in the assistance that i've been very damaging to the ukrainians on the front line, another factoring keeping a flowing financing will be addressed at the g 7 meeting in italy. the world will be used, countries are debating using the interest on moscow's frozen financial assets for ukraine. the european union where most of the frozen funds are held,

has already decided that some 4000000000 euros and so called windfall profits will be sent to keith. but the central problem this week of diplomacy is dealing with remains the same. how to make the many different efforts to help ukraine fit together better to maximize the impact on the ground. so that g 7 summit is such a kick off today, let's speak to our senior european corresponded band to record who is in a bar. it will meet with the very latest veterans. ukraine is going to be top of the agenda as we've heard a member of the g 7, agree that ukraine must get additional support. but there's disagreement as to how ukraine should be supported, right? of the social status of yeah. and open i talked to g 7 now reached an agreement actually to take out a loan to get the loan of $50000000000.00 us dollars. and the creditors for that would be the russian assets and the proceeds from the session assets. this loan

would then be handed over to ukraine, $50000000000.00 front loaded. so to say, which you think would use immediately. and then the loan would be paid back by the revenues from the russian assets that are mostly frozen in belgium. this is the agreement as we hear now, and then the money can be handed over to bowler. do you me a, c, let's get the president of ukraine who will also attend the g 7 summit to you in the afternoon. and he will also sign a by letter of agreement, a treaty this, the united states, this joe, by the us president a security agreement that is designed to make the 8 more sustainable to drum up more support and to make it even trump proof in case that donald trump gets back into the white house in the fall or next year that the ukraine aid from america has still and is flowing. and this g 7 summit is only one a of

a string of conferences this week to drum, the more support and more weapons for ukraine is from here. the pac within trevor to geneva, switzerland, sorry to switzerland, to have another conference, even on the ukraine into g 7, but also us china, formally at 2 sides with ukraine and to, to, in, to let the news of the, the ties to russia in this conflict. russia, of course, is the address that china is still supporting them. so this shouldn't be the progress here from bobby. so plenty ahead in the coming days that we have to say also part of the many leaders of the g 7 are arriving in italy, weekends. after recent you will actions of german chancellor all off. schultz having suffered losses a president. and when, when my clients even called new elections in france, how do you think this could affect the course of the talks? they were in italy to the host of the summit, the italian prime minister,

georgia maloney. so it has have, i am the only one who won the elections and was a lot of self esteem as she came here to bobby. she also had picked the venue of this summit, bought to go, if not herself, she wants to make it her summit. she says, and she's showing some leadership and she wants to present arriving. populate, is the government on the road stage and the other, especially the european the does make it easy for her because also wishes to not for example, the prime is of britain is a lame duck. keep it certainly not return to that. she's 7, a tape of the, of the election. so it's in great britain in july. and so this is a nice opportunity to actually, for, from the, from georgia below. it is then part to say and to present it to lead to the world's parents. thank you. so much for bringing us up to speed there. that's dw senior european corresponded to band regards, to invite at ally now more than 2 years into

russia's full scale invasion. ukrainian troops are dug in for a long war of attrition. and the next generation is getting ready to go. these ami an isa went to visit one group of young ukrainians, practicing the basic skills that they will need to defend their country. molly and the commander distributes rifles to the separate tactical group. replicas that is troops here only teenagers. so i'm not even that old yet. this is an after school club for the kids in the ship. the teeth couldn't western ukraine. they need 3 times a week to prepare for life in the country at wal. mad. lena, that i took a junior sergeant and an air defense unit is the only adult here. she found that the program in 2015 was funding from donations grants and the local government, the senior after russia launched its full scale invasion in 2022. the clubs, activities took on a new urgency,

but elaina says her mission is bigger than just training future soldiers. so when you accept today, you want to invest the maximum and bringing up this generation, mostly because the future depends on the data, which always they correctly understand who they are, who you think that they're citizens of ukraine. yet they are needed here that they can develop the country on was what was the only then will there be a future here? and when you go into ex, mostly as a supervisor, as the older kids teach, the younger ones, hard, military skills, like how to assemble a real kalashnikov, then use wouldn't rifles for the prose, but there's no playing around. they are fully aware that their life may some day depend on this training the enforced discipline and relish difficult conditions like a brief down poor, the drench has the field today. the 16 year old in yellow is one that the younger kids look up to go. both his parents serve in the military and he's committed to doing the same and the forward. she allows whether i'm ready to go and fight on the

front line in the hot spot. i think so, yes, for one thing. sure, because this is my duty as a citizen of ukraine, but you know, i've dang basic skills to get that will help me my training in the future. positive and obviously and help me push the enemy out of our control. the order to the has the last reason we at 12 step on is the 2nd young. the group put him up. he hopes to take a different route, which is the name simply be by you think you'd ever want to be a soldier to do much. they would load yeah. what's wrong with that? know what are some of which anything could happen this? let me know. but if i want to study for a civilian job, there are hundreds of youth groups like this and ukraine, and that number has grown significantly since the full scale invasion. that's according to the youth and sports ministry, which provides direct financial support to the larger ones. in the last 2 years, the ministry held conferences for youth groups across the country that involved 74000 young people, privately won't create any subordinate knowing ukraine. it's

a time of internal reflection on life and some days. notice what happens to rethinking the question of how to raise their children, but also that they are citizens of an independent and white and capable country to show up on the other one is the last night on march 9th grade in the years. after 2 hours of exercises, spirits are high, but the walls are covered with sobering reminders of the war. these young men are graduates of the programs who have died on the front lines. several other graduates are still there friday. but as of all you yeah, i would worry, check it for the when we chat, i know they can't immediately go online and read my messages such talking about, but i'm always checking the messages to see if they've read what i sent you, whether they've been online whether everyone is there, they don't all answer right away. see you. but if they read the messages we have sent, everything is fine on this, but they'll send all of it out as the change back into their civilian clothes.

members of the separate tactical group are just kids. once again, some of them still have 5 or 6 years before they become adults and have to make adult decisions. for others. that milestone is just a few months away. or the argentine as the senate has narrowly passed president javier malays controversial economic reform bill. the package aims to slash government spending and privatized public companies. it is part of malays pledge to shock argentina's economy out of its worst economic economic prices in 2 decades. however, the prospect of granting him sweeping powers to slash social programs and to enact other changes has sparked huge demonstrations in the capital. k o succeeds on the streets of what else i have is. protest is classed with police and set fire to cause opposition. little make cause joining. the protests of pepper sprayed and

dragged away like many of the demonstrations here. they see the new legislation can shrink the benefits that pensions we can work as rights and save a big corporation that may have been on this low attacks. all work is in argentina . i'm a retired teacher and i do not want to be the last generation of retirees in my family. i want my sister who is adults to, to be able to retire my niece, who is a student and my daughters, who are professionals. and who will not be able to retire if the pension package pauses today, that is the they believe the bill over extends the president's power? no, no, no, no, no, we can be seen. he's not narrow. he's waiting for us to set everything on fire this month. think he's an impaired. that's why i say he's crazy. it's not like that. these guys, things he owns everything that he can change everything. know the rights outside congress reflect the divide on the inside. the bill was deadlocked. 36 to 36 until

the vice president broke the time. she said, you go to those who voted in favor, shows change to only be one of those sort of can be today. we saw a too large and tina's and v o. now, so one violent argentine is that sets cause i'm sorry, i do that through star and use it us. and that to face the exercise of democracy. another argentina passes the work cuz we're waiting with deep pain and sacrifice to the vote to be respected e subsidy b c o, etc, said they if the house approves the new modifications, military can claim his 1st. let's just have to victory since taking office in december. so the war in gaza now and us secretary of state antony blink. and it says a mouse has proposed changes to a us back ceasefire deal with israel. he said that while some of the demands were workable, others were not wrapping up his middle east, torp lincoln insisted that

a deal was still possible. and after 9 months of warren cause many palestinians and israelis are desperately hoping for the fighting to stop these negotiations. so frustrated the fools, my little daughter doesn't sleep. my mother wants to go back. we want to go back. we a boat, we a psychologically tired. why is the no resolution? why can't this be so? we are not toys in the hundreds of sons or daughters or families would kill for nothing. and that i have no, is it with tired, bored understanding of the truth? every day there's a choice and then there's no experiences. now we want a solution and we want to return to our homes, yet we're tired of this life sleeping in the streets, searching for war to look the lives of stuff to it because we want a solution that fixes all of these problems. and we want to defend all the

suffering we have in, during that period. and this will cause a lot of how we're, they have the same feeling that they've been since i guess the beginning. like we spoke a few months to save this entails distilled. it said you all last year to gain some carriage 0 in building sees this is going to leave. it also disappeared through one of the or the 20 or stages. at least you know that the retail, then we need to sell the wall and have a ceasefire. ok, let's have it. i think that's the only way that there's going to be a deal of stuff that's going to be an up external pressure, especially something i've said putting pressure up. but we have to get to a deal they've with the president that does this has to be released as soon as possible. let's get across to jerusalem and our correspondent tanya kramer. for more atanya we've heard their voices from gaza and israel, people desperate for a cease fire deal after months. do we know how close is written tomas are actually

to accepting this us backs plan or i think the done no. because i think they also have different readings on what will happen next. and it seems that this proposal is really hanging in the balance of the part you a secretary of state antony blinking, who was wrapping up as to in the region to push for this c 5 d a a saying that's how most has given its official response but they have made some changes, but still the mediators. so the u. s. egypt and cuts are committed to close the gaps and committed to find a solution to that. now we have all kinds of more, you know, details emerging of roy to his report of naming an on name, a named how most official who was saying that they didn't actually make a significant change, as he said, the insisting on the complete withdrawal off is really forces from garza, but he also mentioned in that report that how much wants to select 100 prisoners

with long term sentences. they would be then exchanged for those hostages that are being held in a gaza. this is always a main sticking point. who would be chosen from those is really from those kind of thing and present. and so that has, in is really a presence, but also be a hearing from is really media. they are saying basically that one of the main sticking points remains a permanent route as, as demanded by how most of probably a route to a permanent a ceasefire. and they also say that how mazda is demanding new guarantors for such an agreement. we also should not forget that the how much that is when the government has been very busy learned about this proposal. so why they it will take some time to close the gaps if they will, close the gaps. of course the board is continuing with full force in gaza. thank you so much for that update tanya. that's our correspondent, tonya kramer. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world's,

the firefighters have been trying to put out a massive blaze and an oil refinery in northern iraq. it started overnight and one of its storage facilities and quickly spread across the site. the cause of the fire was not immediately clear so far. there are no reports of injuries. hundreds of people have been forced out of their homes by flooding and southern and central sheila, the government has declared a state of emergency in several regions. after days of intense reigns, forecasters are predicting yet more heavy rainfall and strong winds in the coming days. open and to you, when is warning, but the numbers are forcibly displaced. people around the world have reached a new record high of 120000000. it was the 12th here in a row that the new ones refugee agency saw an increase from 10800000 people were forced from their homes in war torn sudan in 2023 alone.

and to be count down to the european football championship. house officially for gun friend serge, mark the start of euro 2024 with a light and laser show for an audience of about 15000 people. germany's financial capital will host 5 games next week, but before that, germany faces scotland and the opening match in munich. this friday. as you can see scottish fans and they're already getting in the mood for what's to come. but there is a lot more also going on behind the scenes hosting the tournament is a massive security challenge with threats ranging from terrorism to hooligan violence. our reporter has more on the security preparations for euro 2024 to take . also, the rules is just hours away. the action here has been in full swing for months. it's the security in the center for the tournaments, staffed by police officers from all 24 participating countries. post germany has

tried to balance informing the public of potential threats without spoiling the excitements, easy to it's not a security situation as tents. this applies to cyber security, as well as, as long as terrorism in other areas. however, i can also say that there are currently no concrete indications of a threat and connection with the euro. but many germans still concerns. a recent survey indicates almost half the population fewer a possible attack during the urals security experts say the greatest potential threats is currently post by the lennox state offshoot. i s k p. the tara group is putting out propaganda like this one. calling for a tex on german football stadiums, a felix norma from the college, out of nowhere foundation specializes in counterterrorism measures. he says radicalized individuals may be the hardest for it to detroit. they can easily buy a light bathroom, for example, a nice but also a gum. and with that,

they can execute such an attack and it's very hot for security or forward to use to prevent that, but also to money toward the dangerous, such as those post by hooligans on site bottex. also part of security precautions, post stadium stuff, multiple layers of security and are considered to be safe places. but fans, those temporary sites, were up to 12000000 people. a likely target's $22000.00 police officers under cover agents. drones and road locates a public security plants and for months all german boulders have been subject to increased controls to identify and stop potential bed act. us 100 percent. security is never possible. but i think that politicians as well as secuity are for his ken works pretty much really good together as we've seen for the last couple of weeks and months. but now it will be put to the test as fence and play us gather, hoping for a safe and fun some of football for all to. and we have the w security correspondent,

thomas ferro in the studio for more on this. thomas, given everything that we've just heard there, how worried are germans about this threat for germans? what to do? at least some germans, according to surveys that have been published ahead of the beginning of the tournament. one side of the for example, stress that around half of germans were worried about a possible attack on notice. uh, they say that the majority are actually planning to watch the games at home and not go to the funds on, but i wouldn't describe this as a generalized threat among the population. i would say it's more of a to raise awareness about possible risks and also about the need to strike a balance between enjoying the matches, enjoying the ide must be on the one hand and on the other hand, not taking unnecessary risks. okay, so somewhat on heightened alert, but so what this into perspective for us there's, there's always some security risks around big events like this, right. is the threat here in germany now bigger than it has been in previous years

. it's been described by security officials as abstractly high. and what that essentially means is that if they haven't had at least an indications, at least from what they've said publicly of concrete threats during the event. but the situation still remains tends on. there are potential practice. they are monitoring and this has to do specifically with an international context that undoubtedly plays a role in german securities other warren gaza, that may contribute to polarize ation and radicalization here in the country, the war and ukraine that may contribute to for example, cyber attacks coming from russia and then separate threats is also a potential is the mist correct? and that the focus of what the tardies are these, the main concern of from authorities is the potential for load attack us targeting funds be in the stadium or in the fund zone. so there are multiple scenarios that authorities are following very closely to try and prevent any attack, any danger to face european football championship. it tell us

a little bit more there. i mean, we've heard a little bit already, but what exactly is germany doing to try and keep people say from these, these many different sources of threats. there's a whole strategy around the euros which begins actively with international police corporations with which continues that the german borders with control checks with continues also in the stadiums, with heightened checks, also checks for example, to prevent thrown attacks. and then one of the main focus of attention as we heard and report is on the funds owens, that's a little bit more difficult to control. then let's say the people who go into the stadiums. so there are such a neat, different layers that authorities are considering. and one important one is obviously not only german authorities, they're looking very seriously at potential threats. it's also something that they're focusing very carefully with international partners with police officers from other countries around the world. thank you so much for brings up to speed there. that's our security correspondence. thomas barrow. and that is your new show . i'm glad richardson in berlin. thank you so much for watching
