hello. i'm terry martin. good to have you with us, your opinion and ukraine have signed a security agreement. ukraine's president belong to me as landscape signs a deal with you. leaders at the start of a summit in brussels is meant to assure support for ukraine in the future as it continues its battle against russia or ukraine's president. the summit marks of the formal started talks about ukraine joining the u. or are brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena is covering this story. alexander, how important is today's deal for you crate. it is very important for kids to have this deal with the european union presidency. lensky told us here that he's hoping that this agreement will advance peace and prosperity in europe. and it comes with big action points,

including the promise by the european union to continue providing ukraine with military and financial assistance with the promise to prosecute russian war crimes . to provide civilian health for you claim to rebuild the country once the war is over. and all of that is coming with assurances that ukraine is on the right pause to was a membership in the european union. and zalinski told us here that this is what people leave new queen with full just on the battlefield. want to hear. so it is important, but in terms of we'll secuity guarantees. i would say it's much of that symbolic importance because of course, as you know, that you opinion does not have an army of its own. and the foreign policy, it's still being decided in the european capitals. so you kind of compare this deal with to, for instance, the agreements that kid has signed with the u. s. bots. ukraine in the

past months has been able to secure a number of the secuity agreements with individual countries. let's have a closer look at that of the war rages in ukraine, 27 months after russia's invasion, ukraine's been running short of soldiers, high munition, and money president for a lot of them is a landscape been trying to fix that and generate commitments for support after the war is over traveling relentlessly to sign security agreements. he's met with western leaders across europe in recent weeks. so lansky has signed 17 bilateral deals so far. germany, i agree to a 10 year security agreement pledging equipment including air defense muscles, as well as health rebuilding months of the conflict is over. france signed a similar 10 year deal, helping with training, sending jet fighters,

military vehicles and missiles, but also promising to help ukraine against future attacks and to reform its institutions. in belgium is the landscape secured pledges for dozens of f. 16 fighters. this all came as ukraine's biggest backer of the us, also signed a 10 year deal guaranteeing military assistance. the deals with individual countries are meant not just to beef up ukraine's military, but also to strengthen cooperation. preparing the way for membership one day in nato and the you, the block and it's member countries have already provided support worth nearly $110000000000.00 since the war started of the for ukraine, the stakes couldn't be higher, no longer how long the war lasts. it will eventually need to rebuild it. shattered infrastructure and make sure it came to turbo tax in the future.

alexandra, the u summit. today is on going. we're expecting decisions from member states on the european union's top jobs. the big jobs in the institutions. are there likely to be any surprises today? well, treat you n i o we have covered a lot of some it's like this one and we know that everything is sealed and sure only when somebody like this one is over so they can be surprises. i mean we have just limited re agreement on the top jobs, but there are readers, 1st and foremost the tell them prime minister, georgia maloney who are not very happy because they think they should have been consulted. more ahead of this meeting at her party made gains in the european election, and she would like to have a bigger stay on the top jobs because of all the hon given prime and stuff already said he is not happy either about what will they do when they sit at the table with

other leaders to decide on that. and in addition, we have to say that you don't need all the leaders to be on the same page. you just need 20 of them 20 countries to agree on at the top jobs. so i think it's likely that there will be an agreement, but we will know it when we see the press release or somebody coming out of the meeting and announcing that the suite of jobs has, has been agreed upon. as under thank you. that was our brussels bureau chief, alexandra from the thank you. as com has now returned to bolivia is capital after troops there stormed the presidential palace, a top general who led the attempted to claimed he was trying to restore democracy. he's been arrested. but president luis also called on bolivians to defend their democracy, and the troops withdrew. ramming the tools of the

palace opened so that heavily on soldiers could search through inside president louise of say, face down the general at the head of the rebellion. ordering him to stand down a juan jose soniega unexcused. he told reporters that his troops with their, with the mission hotel, we want to re establish democracy. it is enough that a new people have taken it over to me. they look like they've taken us. 8 to our children have no future to the people have no future world with soldiers station just outside to see to bolivia is government from within us. they appeal to the people to mobilize, defend off the coup attempt, we ask the bolivian people to react. we need to believe you and people to organize and mobilize themselves against occluded talk and in favor of democracy. he moved

quickly as well to replace the heads of the military with his newly appointed army chief ordering. soon he goes, soldiers to withdrawal. as bolivians took to the streets to support the government, the apparent to seem to collapse as false as it materialized with the would be rebels. abandoning the positions they had taken up just a few hours earlier. c with the army going all say appeared before the crowds gathered at the palace, thanking them for standing out for delivery is democracy. they wanted to surprise us and surprise the bolivian people. we have reacted and to mobilize. people have also allowed us to reverse this coup attempt today. thank you. believe in people.

the authorities move quickly to arrest the qu lita soon ega. but he told reporters that the uprising was fall from a surprise to us, the accusing him of ordering it. the president told me the situation was bad and this week would be critical then it was needed to prepare something to push off his and popularity. but other than that, i mean, the only reason i asked him if i'm show we take the armored vehicles out and he said take them out soon. and i wasn't bundled off by police moments late to speak with bolivian justice minister, dismissing his allegations as the lines of a man seeking to justify his own actions. a very true, i don't know if i do see on the show while ago i spoke with political analysts, me gab, we try go about this. i asked them what was behind the parent, who in bolivia well it's the thanks. thanks for having me. it

seems to me, it seems to have to do with the next year selections and 2 things. point me to this a preliminary conclusion that is a basically what in general, i assume you guys said that a couple of days ago that he wanted to prevent for our president even more ours from a run again for office. uh, that's the one thing the sec i'm saying is what he said after he's arrest basic the alleging that the, that the current president r c. i am told him to, to stage the school. so those 2 things i or wants me to think that it might have to do with the next for the next years general elections and the divide deep divide the within the, at the mass,

a party which is government government but the has been governed, but it is for the last 20 years or so. let's just suppose for a moment that indeed present us a directed the general to stage this to in order to boost his popularity. um, how, how is that supposed to stop the former president morales from, from running again for election to 2 years time. yeah, that's the, that's the what doesn't it makes it makes sense because the, if you were going to do something like this, you with and i guess you would want to wait. ready until closer to the elections, which are going to be held next year to me was that of the organized cool, and basically the stipulation that we don't know watch why this is

a thing could have happened. okay, well have to leave it there. uh, mccaleb. we try go political analysts to joining us from raymond, here in germany. thanks so much. now, to hate see we're hundreds of canyon police officers arrived this week at the start of the un back security mission. the kenyans touch down in port depressed just as their own country faced its worst on rest and decades. the mission for the officers in haiti is to try to curb the gang violence that is overrun the country, or the canyon troops on the haitian soil. the prime minister of haiti's, giving them a warm welcome. the countries consume to with the gang violence. and the government says it can bring the situation under control without for an intervention back by the united nations. if you don't, my might be on the way to. i want to know one to doubt the purpose of the mission.

we will be not providing the state will regain power and reaffirm itself sovereignty. so all have sions, because you're not right in this country, we're going be in the peacekeeping mission has been a long time coming. the government requested help 2 years ago since then, the haitian population has been plunged into the stream, poverty rage and gang fights have destroyed homes. the women and the girls had been kidnapped and raped as no surprise the patients, many of them displaced opinion of their helps. one for in soldiers. we heard and i had to sort something out because we're really in trouble. houses about town homes are set on 5 and looted and that's where we are. i really living here. so the last 10 months or says more of what i believe they'll bring about to

change. people will support on below, and i get all the time you're going look not be i would like 100 countries to think about us and the rest may come up in the same way as they think about restoring order in the country. because we have victims, and we want to have a solution to my, i mean, so the country can get back to us. looks good lawyer, sucking you large with the people here had been leaving the object poverty for years. the situation became much worse a few months ago when the game starts. at that i can see then infrastructure like the main international airport and also haitian prisons were that they do. and i didn't, nations can use determine to restore order in haiti. we know we know and can associate with the haitian peoples aspirations for freedom. freedom for justice, just for the rule of law. it's out the door we comes. we came to haiti because the

people of haiti like the people everywhere else in the world. in the 47 countries where we have served as peace supporters, the people of haiti deserve peace deserve security, and deserve sustainable development of the development change in the office. so, so won't be the only foreign presence in haiti for a long. soon, troops from 15 other nations, including germany and france, will join them in the peacekeeping mission. let's get more of this story now from journalists, we blower marion corps. he is the editor in chief of haiti's creole, french english news organization, a boat post with or welcome. first of all, tell us why this for an intervention is necessary. has the government lost control of the country? well, it's been a long time. the say,

the government, the established uncertainties of those control. uh, you know, major part of, of, of the got to sell but also in other bases in the country today. the games punctuated mall and a message for breakfast, which is the haiti god though they caused the displacements of more than half a 1000000 people and see the trends and then a february, the lounge, you know, meet you at that up in the, the 2 main reasons of this country, you know, leaving the doors open. so thousands of some of the worst criminals could be out in the streets. you have thousands of people in tents all over the the, the costs are today in the thousands and thousands and thousands of them sort of lee, you know, i've been few months because of the tiers of the games. so what's the plan? how will this intervention force go about restoring order to okay,

so the 1st is the you went up close to one. um, it is when clear in practical terms how they are going to us, uh, you know, underground. he's your input of insightful to the minister of justice is yesterday, i believe. and he said to me that the i hated to support the patient, national police, the i have to or be on the commons of the asian national police. and also um the, um, however, uh, we also know that, you know, kenya back home using terminal and the president seems to be in buffalo facing extremely difficult, tough way to go situations. i spoke to some general this and also before i madison, the ground said that, you know, the, the situation that is not ready to receive, you know, dead body is coming from

a policy that it could be not met. so we are still waiting to see what honest person options gonna be. but you know, we have high hopes today. um, you know, one of the country on a bunch of friends, uh, forties for us to do it, to succeed and then you know, down again. so this is not the 1st for an intervention in haiti, a un peacekeeping mission came to a disastrous end in 2017. to do you think this canyon led, poors has a better chance of succeeding as well. that's also why i think you have to double reactions when he comes to the opinion 1st. the 1st one is, as you said, you have the spice for the most recent one from 2014, 2007. see from the united nations that bring, you know, some of these to the country, but also that brings clear up about 10000 people and close to half a 1000000 more on the 10000 were killed into so half

a 1000000 were infected by the disease that is inside the country, they were responsible for hundreds of cases of human rights violations. um, you know, when you speak to some folks here, um they have these in mind and they are very worried that the boss could be contributing. so that's the, that's the 1st the cushion board, right. but the 2nd part is 80, it hasn't been on their game, but presence in gain control. oh, i mean the last few years and people kind of fed up and died in the want some piece in some sense of nice journalism that the king is going to go ahead just if you want to finish your sentence. i'm sorry i'm you're saying that we're listening. uh yeah. the only thing that um then expecting is

uh from uh, coming soon, but are friends uh, you know, heavy in the very crucial moment when people are expecting and hoping that they can help to, you know, rent some sense of normalcy. so who schools gonna reopen? the thousands of people let these country um, you know, could come back. uh, and also, you know, key is you shouldn't supposed be those good to function normally. and then the new government to conduct all the problems and really, you know, elections and you know, your major social and economic issues. some have asked questions about the preparedness of the forces that are coming into haiti that many of the tenure and police officers, for example, that they have little or no knowledge of, of the country. are patients prepared to accept these officers in their country

as well? most people are kind of in the mode of waiting to see um the weird church, the force i believe and based on my own interviews, by their own actions, by how they conduct themselves by the success also that the you know, encounter on the ground fighting against the games even even though we still don't know if they are going to me, i directly with the games or if they are going to be, you know, 6 or a sort of the key is it's sure to send a board the board and you know, living nation national police, that is, you know, no wonder house and he left because uh it wouldn't change quite frankly, to duck who the major games are we off with or thank you for talking with us. that was journalist. we thought americorps speaking to us about the situation in haiti.

thank you. so turkish football fans, celebrated after their teams dramatic to one victory over the check republic, securing their spot in the knock out stage of the euro 2024 championship. but these seats are not in symbol, they're in berlin capital with the host nation, germany and home to the largest turkish community outside of turkey. and so sports commentators have suggested that the tournament has to home t send with both turkey and germany playing well. so far there's been twice as much celebrating low stakes now are even higher as the euro enter the knockout stage. the teams are taking a break for the next 2 days, but will be back in action again over the weekend. just take

a look at the upcoming games in the last 16 or on saturday, switzerland take on italy and germany face denmark. on sunday, england will place to walk. you and spain line up against georgia. on monday, spain or other friends are in action against belgium and portugal square off against libya. then on tuesday, romania take on the netherlands and austria play turkey. well for more on the tournament, let's bring in the new barcelona from dw sport done. i know you've been following all of this uh on the edge of your seat. uh, were well into the tournament already. we're about to enter the next round. just getting more and more exciting. what's the most peer been like among the fans so far? so not only haven't been following, and i've actually been there to a bunch of games and the spend zones. and i can tell you that the atmosphere has been incredible. each city has their own fan festival and fans on set up. i've been in hamburg berlin lives and each one is better than the last. i mean,

packed to capacity. there's been certain groups of fans that have stood out, i'd say a little more than others. the holland fans, for example, you know, you always see them in their orange jersey, a march in thousands to the stadiums and they do this dance where they all jumped to the left. so they all jumped to the right. so fans really love to see that also the scotland fans with their coats in their bagpipes. we have to mention obviously the german fans in berlin and the fans or can hold up to 70000 people. and every game has been packed to capacity. i mean, like we also saw the turkish fans, it's almost like a home tournament for them as well. last night when they qualified for the next round. there were fire words, concerts, parades until late, late into the night. so the app is here has been amazing. so far, that germany were the 1st team to qualify for the knockout stage, but it hasn't all been smooth sailing for them. what are they going to be up against in this next age? well, they didn't come off flying and they were really convincing of that 1st game. maybe

a little bit less convincing in their next 2 games. that being said, they did when their group and they will play denmark in the next game. now denmark, they've not lost a game yet so far into yours, but they've also not won a game yet so far in the euro. so a good side, not as good as germany in terms of death, but they haven't really gotten rolling yet. now we can expect them to be good defensively, but maybe missing a little bit of that cutting edge in the attack. now that being said, know that jeremy has struggled a little bit against teams that are very compact and organized defensively. but they can get through because they have an attack that's very fluid and interchangeable. so that will be a big key for them. how can their attack breakdown denmark's defense? they have the quality, they have the depth, we saw also subs like nicholas full true, who in the last game came off the bench and provided that decisive goal for germany . so on paper, a better team, but in a knock up match,

you never know what can happen. some big matches coming up in the round of 16 of what to expect fireworks. um, so most of the teams that we expected to go through, they did go through, but some favorites, for example, have been very underwhelming, france and england, for example, favorites come in, but they have not looked convincing at all. there's been a lot of criticisms about their coaches that they're not able to get the best out of the players that they have. also year or 2020 or 2021 champions. italy struggling to get through the group just making it in the last 2nd. they faced switzerland, which would be pretty difficult, a pretty difficult match. now on the other hand, we have teams like austria who, nobody expected to do very much and they're really a dark horse. in this tournament. they topped a group that had another ones and friends. they will come up against turkey, but they'll fancy their chance is moving forward. and now we have george as for example, who in their very 1st tournament, historically qualified for the not go round by beating portugal, which was

a massive upside. so they all say span who are a very good side, so they'll fancy that their european dream can continue. so maybe in this tournament we can see an upset, very exciting. looking forward to this weekend, taking off the ground 16 ended the

stop, the boat limiting immigration has become a major campaign issue right before the british general direction. many people regarded the country as a model of a movie called truism for a long time. now a lot of immigrants feel unwelcome, how do they feel about the intensifying discourse? and what does this imply about the current state of british society and economics? focus on your next on d, w. a happy go lucky guy on the outside. but still home just by child to true, my on the inside, the same is

a victim of sexual abuse. that's abuse subject and this whole country around ask when almost as honest channel goes a stomach, i mean she takes the brave step to speak his truth and i hug you in 45 minutes on d w. the think the oh just twice. think ahead or with outside the box on your but always remember thing for yourself. we all had to sign was incredibly like this is the

driving you with free information. these are made for mine. the hello and welcome to this week for this and a focus on europe with me on a home that need every month. tens of thousands of people come to europe seeking asylum here. the topic of migration is currently dominating election campaigns, the european union and beyond. stop the bose is the campaign slogan of prisons governing party, attempting to show toughness against migraines, trying to cross the english channel from the french coasts in time. the inflexible both sometimes.
