the, the, this is the, the news coming to line from berlin, germany and poland looked to strengthen towards transfer. all of schultz is in warsaw for talked to the prime minister. don't tell us. it's their 1st official consultation since poland, new pro you government came to power defense and you craze a or high on the agenda of also coming out francis political parties jockey for position that had of sunday's final round of parliamentary elections, moderates and the central left are trying to block the far right, national riley from winning a governing majority. the us president biden slammed the landmarks supreme court ruling, giving presidents far reaching immunity, saying it's such

a dangerous precedent. decision is likely to disrupt efforts to prosecute donald trump for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. plus for a came feral rips through the south eastern caribbean, bringing life threatening winds and storm services. officials report expensive damage on several islands in the region. the low i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. german transfer all of schultz is in warsaw for talks with publish prime minister donald to us it will be the 1st entry, governmental consultations between the 2 countries since 2018 fives. have warm since toasts pro european coalition came to power last december. alden's previous nationalist government often portrayed germany as a hostile force. i on the agenda of the talks will be crane security and other geo

political challenges to for more of a spring. and our chief political editor may get a cousin that became a hell our chancellor showed some prime minister to us planning to improve cooperation between germany and poland. well, 1st of all, by sending that very signal of cooperation again. since donald to us who is the former head of the european council, so it of the most pro european you can get as opposed as a leader. and since he came to power, the 2 of also revised divine my triangle together with fonts, clearly determined to make some headway in european corporation in these very testing times as the war in ukraine. it continues to rage on spot. having said that, that is a poet is public, which is still skeptical towards germany and often those, and there's almost

a decade of the peace government, which didn't really want corporation, which was euro skeptic. and which had warned of russia for a very long time. indeed, warnings that one touch here in germany and again, stacked back through all of these 2 leaders a meeting, although a much sort of thing could have been expected just for comparison. in the recent government consultations with french present reminder of my call here near berlin. the 2 took over 24 hours to half days. these consultations are just a bit more than half a day. that will warn you, credit will obviously keep the a key point in discussions between the german and polish leaders. what can we expect from schultz and tusk? on that subject as well. they've been holding the notes very close to the test, but we do expect some kind of announcement because these, this eastern flank of nato, the direct potential confrontation with vasa,

that's something poland has been wanting no matter who was in government for very, very long time. that's something particular social democrats, the policy determine chances from always so is not quite as acute. and of course ross is attack on ukraine, proves that the government line also of the code isn't with i'm going to macro completely wrong. they've completely under estimated the very real threat to process. currently, germany is building a brigade and lithuania. the question now is whether we will see will commitments that towards poland to with strengthening that particular eastern flank of nature. historical grievances between germany and polar run deep michela, as you know, particularly relating to the 2nd world war, poland just demanding germany pay more war, reparations are sold some toast likely to address this issue as well. that says,

government itself is actually agreed that legally dominique doesn't owe anything, but morally, it does of tool. there's been 8 z is of google chrome. was quoted on seeing german propaganda saying that germany hadn't paid it's dues. we do expect announcement of the german polis house. so a pace of remembrance and a high 3 fig, a 1000000 euro, some for compensation support victims of the not the raising. so that is more than symbolic. but the fundamental issue of reparations legally is result from both sides, although it's a much tougher step. so. so don't know tough towards his it's his own population, because i thank you very much. that's our chief political editor, mckayla comes another well, staying with ukraine, keys,

battlefield position has been largely static for months. now in the coming weeks, ukraine's native partners are due to begin delivering the f. 16 fighter jets. the president below them is the landscape has been requesting since russia's invasion. yes, exchange are among the most sophisticated weaponry being supplied to ukraine. but they're unlikely to be an immediate game changer. they are sleek, super, sonic, and loud. of 16 fighting falcons are by no means the most advanced fighter jets. in fact, the 1st were delivered in 1976. they now cost upwards of $60000000.00 euros each, and there among the most versatile aerial weapons available to any military power. useful for ukraine, defensively. and often simply, we have agreed new more ambitious depends bounce laws. are the librium more forces

higher than this investing in high end capabilities? a stumbling block for the f sixteens is that they require extensive training training that some ukrainian pilots have been getting on a fast track basis for many months here in france and other locations. they probably are already meant to be prepared. they're all between 21 and 23, but they're already what is the ties on? i mean, in the coming months ukraine could have about a dozen pilots ready to fly up sixteen's? probably about 20 in total by year's end, meaning ukraine's air force will likely have more happ sixteens, then qualified pilots to fly them. meantime, russia now knows full well that the f sixteens are coming to see on the should. yeah, russia is striking. all airfield is always potential at 16 bases every day. including attempts to damage air strips and infrastructure for the poor thing for us to to rush as president well in north korea noted that have 16 jets can strike from

ukraine into russian territory. if they're at the group window, shooting that late and the violates the international responsibilities that the western countries to as mission of what are the, the panelists see the f sixteens with their modern radar systems, munitions, and jamming capabilities as an important upgrade of ukraine's arsenal. they'll support ground troops and be able to intercept russian attacks in a way far superior to ukraine's soviet era. mig 29. the. the jets will also require parts and maintenance and diverted defense capability as well on the ground, whether they're a game changer against russia. it may be, as some experts have indicated that by putting enough game changers into the mix, ukraine may eventually be able to change the game. but let's talk to christopher

morris here. he's a member of the piece conflict and security research group at the university of portsmouth in england. thanks for being with us. tell us how useful do you think these f sixteens will be for ukraine's military? what kind of missions will they be used for? useful, absolutely. game changes, unfortunately, not so much. so one of the things that they're going to be absolutely in essential for is plugging into effectively the ad defense system that you crane has. so they're going to be very capable in that role. and also that going to be good at pushing back some of the russian jets. now, we're not, we're going to be seeing some broken interest emissions from these that succeeds things like, you know, long range strikes and supporting troops on the front line. they're probably not going to be used in that way. combat as they are probably not going to be used for, you know, things like place ground supports in proximity to the front line. but yeah, they're going to be very helpful. the radars, with the real quick where the games be very useful in kind of pushing back the expression just depending on what,

what the systems they kind of it packaged with. they couldn't make $800.00 will change to, to buy from it is unfolding. but in terms of fundamentally shifting the balance of the conflict, well, that's unfortunately unlikely. us ukraine's partners have so far agreed to supply just over easy f sixteens is not enough. and can they be deployed fast enough to make a real difference? now what we're talking about here is effects we providing a country that is previously operates it aging service at craft with, you know, relatively modern. we're talking ninety's era west in nato kids. now usually this would be a generational project tasting in excess of the decade for pilots in grand cruise to build up, the aggregates experience and the instructor required to operate these just effectively. what's being accomplished in ukraine is incredible, but it is being done very rapidly. so in terms of the ability for these, you know, h, u, so ad craft to really shift the balance of conflict. it's

a very good start. but, you know, integrating the ground forces is going to be messy, difficult, and you know, in terms of them having an immediate, in a game changing fact, i would be hesitant to predict, bought. now russia has been attacking ukrainian airfields. uh, it says, just today that is destroyed, some of ukraine's jet fighters, home phone or a bulk christopher will the f sixteens be to attack well, now this is one of the obvious reasons the rest of these guys try and tell you, cuz i gotta just try and take out the ground based and disrupt jack, you know, it's a car easy. it targets, unlike the 6 things themselves, it doesn't move around. now the fortunately ukraine doesn't have the benefits of unit limits it as defense. this would be an immensely costly kind of process for rush it to seriously engage with your on the one hand, they can absolutely strike these bases with long range around the type weapon systems because they really want to take them out. they've got to have to engage in

some kind of salty into ukraine and you know, they don't want to be risking their raffles either. so yes was that is a tactic, but we can predict the restroom is going to be employed in terms of carrying itself . you know, it's going to be difficult for them as well. or ukraine says is considering stationing some of the new f sixteens in other eastern european countries, such as poland. how might russia respond to that christopher? well now in terms of what is going to be station in poland is going to be necessary now in terms of establishing like serious maintenance kind of deputy style maintenance in ukraine. that's difficult. again, they used to operate single say, be attack, wrap their room ways and i know how you deal on the ground based in the district to is know so that we might desire as well permanent, already, operators that succeeds and it would make an ideal location to serious maintenance, as well as training. now in terms of how russia might react best, let me look into like that. and i, poland is already kind of

b fingers that defense. and in a preparing for russian, i suppose miss chief and incursions. of course you've also got to balance that against the fact that where she was kind of already doing everything it really does to do in terms of interfering with nathan members. so you know, that was the best cause for concern, but i wouldn't be too worried that christopher, thank you very much for talking with us. that was christopher morris. they're from the university of portsmouth. thank you so much. i to now it's prince and french president, amount of all the icons centers, comp and the left wing alliance are scrambling to find a way to prevent the far right from taking control of parliament. next weekend, tuesday evening is the deadline for candidates to declare whether they'll pull out of the head of sundays rental votes. rival parties are weighing whether to drop 3rd place candidates in a bid to block the fall, or writes trances. many of frances european partners are watching the election nervously aware that the far right when could have huge implications for the ear.

frances national rally on the role from strong showings in european elections and the 1st round of parliamentary voting and france party leaders. joel, down by the law and merely in the pin promise of france that is more french last year or pm. that cuts across multiple areas from foreign and military policy to welfare spending and cooperation with its neighbors. the national riley has long been skeptical of europe and nato until earlier this year. it's party program officially called for deepening diplomatic ties with russia. party received a major loan from a russian bank and recent years. it wants to haul to military cooperation projects with germany, including jointly developed next generation tanks and fighter jets. the party platform also mentioned the leaving and nato is command structure. however, the party removed all of that language from its web site and the run up to reason

collections and leaders have denounced rushes invasion of ukraine. the question is why they're moderating its image means that the party has fundamentally changed. that spans of the national railway has promised to stand for french, financial and economic interests above those of europe. it wants to negotiate exceptions to some of the rules and to institute a national preference for french businesses and agriculture against a use common market rules. a national rally triumph could kill off e u, borrowing to fund defense and transitioning to a green economy. critics of warranted the parties economic plans which include cutting taxes and raising wages will fuel inflation and brake e u deficit. rules. classes with the you could weaken the euro and to stabilize the whole continence finances. the party also wants to withhold part of francis contribution to the budget of the party has long had a strong anti immigrant stats. it's pledge to prioritize french born citizens for

welfare benefits and housing, which is also against the rules. critics say it would formalize discrimination against immigrants at a time when the continent is struggling to come up with a common emigration policy. whatever happens in the 2nd round a voting manual and my call will still be president likely have to share power pointing a prime minister from another party. the presidency are radically directs foreign policy. the cabinet and the national assembly must sign off and pay the bills. setting the stage for in fighting and paralysis. and one of the use founding countries for us is centrist and left his party say they will cooperate in the run off the next sunday in an effort to prevent the far right from winning an absolute majority. i asked the w correspondent, roosevelt. john, if this is likely to work? yeah, i think the question for parking is on the rest of the political spectrum outside

the far right is not know how to when these elections, the 2nd button coming up on sunday. but really how to keep the far right. and francis to run the system for its legislative elections, means that in the 1st round, any candidate who scores over 12.5 percent has the right to get through to the 2nd, right. which in theory is a blank slate, so voters can choose whoever they want when it comes to the secondary, they don't need to choose the same candidates as the 1st time, right? no 2nd learned is coming up on sunday. and not really begs the question of whether, how these other parties come as they usually target and build a by raj against the far right. by strategically dropping out of certain races to avoid splitting the votes and the to try and kind of keep the far right out of power. no, some left wing parts east side really from the outside even before these alexis that they would be willing to back out of races. francis centrist pro, business parties as the parties are manual macro. and i said they're willing to do

that in cases with where the candidates shares, republican values, but that is looking but vague and leaves the far left. probably, although it's probably deliberately vague in order to not necessarily specify which parties. but that's one of the big questions, especially for today tuesday because 6 pm front's time is the deadline for putting forward candidates for the 2nd run. so it will become clear exactly who's going to be on the ticket, went around $500.00 constituencies. go to vote on sunday. let's say the far right does when an absolute majority and sundays run off election, rosie, what kind of changes should we expect in france? well the far right has long had a clear on team the grant stance, and he's put that into is policy platform. it wants to roll back migrants rates and prioritize frame sixpence for things like hosting social welfare, which of course, would not necessarily be easy to get forward in terms of legal challenges, not least from the e u. and let's not forget cold. of course, the national riley,

the far right part to france, has a history of being described as extremely as on the phobic, i remind you that in 2020, to marine the pen, the leader of the party. in her presidential manifesto, she wanted to bon women from wearing a stomach headscarf in all public places. course they deny that accusation of as long as the phobia. however, in order to kind of put any of these policy plans in action, they would need a real absolute majority in the national assembly and with these elections still a few days away. and with all of this political strategize and going on behind the scenes, it's really not clear that whether or not they'll get anything like a numbers in order to put that into action. we may say to end up with a hung parliament which will lead to series of political uncertainty and friends and really kind of uncharted territory. rosie, thank you very much for now. that was our corresponded in brussels, rosie bird shock sketch up on a few other stories making headlines today. israel's military has ordered palestinians to evacuate parts of con eunice and southern gaza. the move could mean

the return of ground troops to the area several weeks after they pulled out israel's military service. the militant group is lovely to hon. recently fired rockets from a site nearby columbia and police say they have arrested larry alvarez. one of the leaders of the transnational of a transactional game alvarez is wanted in chile and venezuela for charges including terrorism, weapons, trafficking, extortion, and kidnapping. we say alvarez escaped from prison in 2015 and evaded authorities for years by using a fake id. long time donald trump allies the band in has been taken into custody of the us federal prison to begin a 4 month sentence for contempt of congress. a jury found him guilty 2 years ago defying a subpoena to testify before the congressional panel investigating the january 6th attack on the us capital. well,

the us supreme court has handed down the landmark ruling, giving donald trump broad immunity for alleged crimes committed while he was president. they were groups that former presidents can not be prosecuted for any actions that were within their constitutional powers, but can be for unofficial. the justices overturn the lower court's decision that rejected bloodstream. trump's claim of federal immunity, the court was asked to decide whether he could be prosecuted for his role in the january 6th 2021 right at the us capital. that case must now be reassessed by the lower court. judge process makes it unlikely that the trial will take place before the november election as well. one justice who objected to the ruling was sonya. so to me or she has decried it as a mockery, saying the court's ruling effectively means presidents are above the law. in

a statement outlining her objections, she wrote the relationship between the president and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably in every use of official power. the president is now a king above the law, with feared for our democracy. i just sent us present. joe biden slammed the decision by the supreme court saying it meant there were virtually no limits on the president's actions. today, supreme court decision, president community that fundamentally changed for all, for all practical purposes. today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits or the president can do this a fundamentally new principle. and it's a dangerous pressure because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the supreme court in united states. only then this will be self imposed by the president of law. barry mcdonald is professor of law at the pepper

diet and curricular school of law in california. earlier he gave us his assessment of the supreme court's decision, as well a little bit of disappointment because i think the ruling was necessarily broad. the court went into sort of areas of immunity for the president that it just didn't need to do with it created and sort of 3 categories. one was car constitutional responsibilities for which the president is absolutely new and from being prosecuted for criminal acts that he took while in office. the 2nd is sort of while applied immunity or presumptive immunity, for actions that don't fall in that core area where the president actually shares power with congress. but even their, their president again, is sort of presumptive fully immune for being prosecuted. so the only area that is

clear where the president enjoys no immunity is for unofficial or private criminal ass conducted while in office. as professor berry mcdonald from the website and theresa school of law in california. hurricane barrel hes battered the southeastern caribbean is it makes his way toward jamaica and the mexican coast. some islands have reported massive destruction from the storm with at least one death barrel has no strength to a category 5. hurricane retain barrels barely its way through the caribbean. what's taught to it, as a tropical depression, became an unstoppable force in less than 2 days. with winds up to 240 kilometers to all of these set to live images show the hurricane as it was rapidly intensified. it's on right in the middle. come area,
