a victorious moment of unity for russians and ukrainians. yet 77 years on those 2 peoples are again at war with each other. and for the director of this museum vladimir putin's military actions in ukraine now have persuaded him to remove the reference to russia in his museums name. the propaganda in russia is, is focusing on all the, the naming in the world war 2 and talking about fascists and, and crania, which is a lie. so our job will be to, to make clear what really happened in history and world war 2. in the decades that followed generations of germans were told of the sins of the nazis. and thus the feeling seemed to take hold. don't antagonize russia rather do deals with it drawers into the community of nations through trade. above all,

give no country weapons with which to fight russia. it's a policy the present day. ukrainian president has repeatedly called on germany to renounce without cause or chico more. peter, in the wars he is and every time we talk to germany, we remind them that we have know they have something they don't know which we need a lot year. many here share that they feel germany should be helping the key of government much more. and now finally, so too, does that chancellor affect? yeah. i respect any one's pacifism. i respect any attitude, but it must seem cynical to a citizen of ukraine to be told to fight back against putin's aggression with that weapons. this is something that is out of date there with weapons like these millions of russians and ukrainians, fought and died to defeat the nazis. what might those soldiers of fort van to learn that one day that 2 countries would be at war with each other?

out of the village into the bush, costa rica new president. rodrigo chavez has promised to revive the economy, invest in education and fight corruption. the economist and former world bank executive has also vowed to tackle sexual harassment. chavez resigned from the global lender in 2019, after nearly 3 decades following allegations of sexual misconduct. eric farnsworth is the vice president of the council of the americas. he says the new president faces a number of challenges. if you still have to compromise, he's going to have to really govern for the people and not for their own base. and in fact, it's not from an established political party. so his base is also quite narrow. although there are some indications that he is at least considering thinking about if he can't get a legislative program through the history and congress, the legislature, which is powerful and st us. he has mentioned that he would not be averse to doing things like trying to roll with some executive decrees and,

and trying to do things with our pilot, the legislative process that gives some concern to some outside servers for sure, of course. so we have to see if he's actually going to do that, but i would hasten to say, goes to reagan, is a very strong democracy. if someone craddick institutions are sounds and most likely, if he does that, it will be at the margins, costa rican, people really demand a democratic governance. he's got some real challenges, like many other people around the world in terms of inflation, in terms of consumer prices that are increasing, particularly in terms of energy and food spiked by russia as invasion of ukraine. certainly, costa rica does not produce energy or a lot of its food, so the import those things and therefore the prices go up and that's going to hurt the consumers at the same time with high unemployment in those 3. and he's also grappling with increasing migration flows from his neighbor to the north, nicaragua, the con, me as collapsing in fact,

population flow out of nicaragua is increasing many to the united states. but also south to undergrad was traditional employment creator goes to reagan. so he's got some issues there, he's got to deal with the u. s. foreign policy chief says the appointment of hong kong, new chief executive violates democratic norms. john lee led the crackdown on pro democracy protestors and was the only candidate in the secret ballot vetted by china's government. adrian brown reports from hong kong with china's endorsement. it was just a question of how big john lees winning margin would be to give the appearance of an open contest, the secret votes were presented to the election committee before being counted. congratulations, a landslide. 1416 votes. in his acceptance speech, lee promised to leader hong kong that was carrying open, vibrant and vigilant safeguarding our country's sovereignty. national security and

development interests. protecting hong kong from internal and external press and insuring as stability will continue to be of parliament importance. the former number 2 in the hong kong government had previously served the security chief authorizing the use of tear gas rubber, bullets, and occasional live rounds to disperse, protested during the unrest of 2019, oh, it was an election day of one candidate, 3 protesters and lots of police, 7000 officers, in fact, enough to keep the few dissenting voices well away from the convention center where the vote was held. analysts say the john lee has china's trust, but winning the trust of hong kong could be more difficult. trust can be rebuilt through several ways. one way is by restoring accountable government in hong kong,

which is in d based, i would say, under the administration of kerry lamb. so that requires the cooperation of the media of ledge, co of civil society. sunday was also mother's day in hong kong. some people we spoke to were aware, there was an election, but just weren't sure that the candidates name. oh, so anyway. yeah. yeah. well, yeah, no one, the lesson said is only when teddy's browse. franconi, people were supposed to choose their leader for the 1st time in 2017. it didn't happen then. it hasn't happened now raising the prospect that this could be the model for future elections to choose hong kong leader adrian brown out to 0 hong kong. hundreds of tunisians have rallied to support president chi sides plans to
