12:13 am
on we're aims which from muscles perspective are more intangible. and if this is julie should expect less effects on give, but a doubling down on the cities, for instance, like mario or a city that you know has been devastated and, and has a seem gotten bombardment and soften probably the most. but it is a big if i think and, and you know, it remains to be seen on the ground because we, we should not trust a single word coming out of the kremlin. so we shouldn't exclude the fact that russia good crank up there effects once again later on. right. and when you say that they failed, i suppose the, it, we look at the, the effect this is had to on ukraine very sadly. i suppose they have succeeded in some ways in weakening and destabilizing the country. and it's not, there is no prospect any time soon of ukraine being admitted into an organization, light nato. so perhaps it, in that respect the kremlin would see this invasion as having served some purpose.
12:14 am
well, i mean, present zalinski has already indicated that on issues like no membership, he is willing to negotiate. however, the most contentious issue will be the territorial question, i think on the territorial question there's, there's no way especially now that the ukrainians can make any concession on that. right. so how's that gonna work? because obviously brushing back separatists have been there for the past 8 years. anyway. and in this invasion, the russians have gone very far west and a cross the line of control. but certainly they are going to at the very least consolidate that control of that territory. absolutely, so as i mentioned, there will be a focus on mario, paul, they'll be a focus on getting the territory of the so called republics and getting to the border of, of, of those regions which the russians do not yet control. and so, you know, again, it'll be an attempt by put into aim for 4 targets that he thinks he can get. because so far he hasn't gotten what he wanted and i was
12:15 am
a take over q. what does the west to now? well, the west to do what it has done so far because what, what's, what the west has done so far clearly works. so sanctions unity and providing the ukrainians with, with weapons and with a what, thank you very much irony, hurry in the delta dental. how here, excuse me, appreciate you joining us that from brussels, sharing your thoughts on the story with us. thanks. well as much we'll still had for you on this program, futures are on the line university that thousands of lebanese students rely on is now close to financial collapse. great barrier grief australia as well. famous coral loses its color again. scientists especially urgent action on climate change . ah

what's going to happen? them taking child sled far away and the kids and that means the kids have to work another 2 hours to school and the kids have nothing to eat. the government has abandoned them and it's not just in the villages the poverty amongst herrera was rife. it's the same in urban areas. shift travels to swap government, picturesque coastal town, popular with german tourists. but on the outskirts of the town, we are a people living bleak in formal settlements. jeff, to mince lawrence and a move from the country side to the city where you're not search of a better life. he has been here for 9 years now at this place, and this is a way his lives. no electricity, no running water or the kettle died abroad. and so there is no work. so the best they can come is come here. tried to force some food for me, miss city, torrance,

12:48 am
to the namibian government, but despite numerous requests, no government official granted us an interview. we did, however, manage to speak to professor faneuil ca, palmer, one of number, be as chief negotiators. he himself is a rarer my great grand mother, was a brother of samuel, why the rule let do i had a real people during the war of colonial resistance. the agreement ca, palmer told us was the best the namibian government could achieve. given germany's tough negotiating tactics. they have always shared away from even mentioning the word genocide. but i did the bigger challenge, who was her own, the quantum, which has to be maint, a very key issue to the point that he took, almost deranged. then there is no difference to the word

reparation wise germany allergic to the time. reparations negotiations in our view have been for political and moral reasons. they are, this was not a legal question. we avoided illegal speech to avoid this kind of misunderstanding. and reparation is a legal term and therefore we spoke about healing the wounds, which means in a sense, probably the same but not in a legal term, but says palmer, the negotiations were less about healing wounds than they were about avoiding legal liability. what was a very heavy debate later on, they came around and said to that, okay, if we agree to pay the parish it, then we will do are we with development it? and we said no, those are 2 different things for their victim. community is good reason why
12:50 am
germany's keen to avoid any payments being labeled as reparations says, heading melba and m a. be an academic, an activist there where war crimes during world war 2 will committed in italy, increase in poland and in other eastern european societies. we are local courts there, ruled that the german government should pay reparations to the descendants. germany's refused to accept liability for such claims. but says melba, if reparations were paid to namibia, that might sid a legal precedent. then these rulings would be seen in another light, and then it would become a really expensive for germany. so with direct reparation seeming the off the table, what about the rare a demand that i should get the land or at least some of it returned to them. but

warbling like other white german namibian farmers in the region denied that this land used to belong to the rarer this land was a 100 years before that. it was it not inhabited by wire is speaking people to the knowledge i, i do have well touring the farm just to raises the land issue. i don't think ill just buying land and given a given a bag will, will improve the situation dramatically. i, i doubt that when i think we have to develop the area, we have to develop the people in investing in a better to morrow, like education and interest structure, schools and hospitals. that people really feel that their life is improving. shift to also wants to know if they can reach a common understanding about the past. do you deny that there was a generous ed or you don't deny it? i mean you i, i don't question the harm which was done to, oh, i had
