these people will remain marking until she resigned and defy, has broken out near the same if the protest in a residential building in central, lima, dozens of firefighters have been deployed and new by building evacuation. ah, the u. s. and several european countries have pledged more military support for ukraine ahead of a diner meeting in germany later on friday, ukraine's president for letting me zalinski is calling for a powerful military aid package. he's urging allies to deliver more sophisticated weapons, including german made leopard battle tanks. least you should call lucille. there is

a vaccine against russian tyranny. and there is a vaccine against his weapon. if his no, and there is a list of countries that have it. there's a specific list from us that we made, want to helped us help, no dialogue or just help the, the ukrainian and russian forces remain locked in a battle around the frontline city of buck mode. to al jazeera spoke to one ukrainian tank commander there. he told us why those german make tank. so when would be a game changer? crushes what does the 6th period with abuse nova receiving the leopards will make us better all around. in terms of firepower, maneuverability, moving target, acquisition, and recoil stabilization, which improves accuracy. it's more powerful in every way. it has modern armor, very well protected, and it's famous for its safety. along with the challenger to pan, cuz more w wlan, is more. these tanks would allow us to counter attack and break the defensive line of the enemy as well. as work under the cover of air power and artillery,

the russians have powerful and modern anti tank missiles. however, they can't destroy the leopard or the challenger, because they have modern armor. the crews are well protected and as i was leaving them with sure, it's very important because the lives of our infantry artilleryman and paratroopers are at stake. it's human lives matter. the leopards will enable us to stop the russians and push them back from our borders because launch a counter offensive and destroy the enemy. and diplomatic editor james bays is at the world economic forum in devils where he's been speaking to ministers about ukraine's play for new weapons behind the scenes here. and also there's been a great deal of active diplomacy about ukraine. much of it focusing on what weapons should go to the country following a fresh appeal from presidency and sky. the focus has been on tanks and in particular on germany. germany has the leper to tank. will it send that tank to ukraine? germany is also sold leopard two's tanks to many e u and nato nations and germany needs to give them permission to pass that tanks

if they want to. to ukraine. i asked the dutch foreign minister about this issue and whether germany should now change its position. while it is not up to me to, to, to, to on the, on the, on the german government who has done a lot in this, in this conflict, i should be implemented for, for tremendous leadership that's, that's, that they have displayed. and yes, you are rights time is of essence for ukrainians, and therefore we not only need to gets the right stuff. we need to do it as quickly as possible. but i'm of the mystic. that's also in the face that we're now embarking on. we in europe, in north america, we'll be able to provide ukraine with what they need a more. that is our obligation not only to help them win the war, but also for the safety and security of our european. so the u. s. congressman seth moulton is here as part of a u. s. congressional delegation. he says after a high level meeting they had,

he believes he understands the german government's position, but what germany has said to us and the congressional delegation here, sat down with the chancellor just yesterday is they are following the u. s. lead. we understand that we are the leader of this effort, and if germany says that we should send some tanks to enable them to send some tanks. i don't think that's an unreasonable request. but at the end of the day, we want to see those german tanks of the best tanks in the world on the front because that's what ukraine will need for this next phase of the war. you, you tanks are more of an offensive weapon that a defensive weapon. ukraine needs to take back territory to ultimately not only restore the nation, the sovereign nation of ukraine, but also to force the russians into a more reasonable negotiating position. so that ultimately we might see an end to this war. this is devil's is winding down on the issue of ukraine and weapons, the grain, all of the action now moves to germany and the u. s. airbase at ramstein in germany,

where a meeting is taking place of defense ministers of nato, where they'll decide exactly what new military aid ukraine is going to get. pro ukraine activists from serbia have filed criminal complaints against rushes vad no mercenary group, and it's supporters accusing them of recruiting serbs to fight in ukraine. moscow has relied heavily on the private military group during the war. however, serbian law prohibits it. citizens from participating in conflicts of brought a shooter near mirage near spreading hatred among serbs toward ukrainians towards the people who have never in history. done anything bad to serbia is a crime and that crime must be prosecuted. the spread of hate propaganda leads to violence and war, and that is not necessary here, nor anywhere in europe to the u. s. now, where the white house says congress will come together and work to avoid a debt to fault. that's after the country. he, it, it's $31.00 trillion dollar barring limit on thursday. there are concerns of

ballistic will show down, could unsettle markets and trigger recession. as alan fisher explains from washington dc. the treasury department warned weeks ago that there was going to be the possibility they would have to take extraordinary measures if the country run up against this debt limit. and that's exactly what's happened in the last couple of hours. us treasury secretary, janet yellen has written to kevin mccarthy, the leader of the house, and also senior figures on capitol hill saying that she's going to start those extraordinary measures to what is she doing not being in to certain government retirement funds for the time being. she's also looking at perhaps realizing some investments yes, government has made and she's also seeing that as we move through this process, she's going to have to start moving money around us departments as well. that is going to put pressure on those in the white house. and also those up there on capitol hill. the question will be, what can they do to avoid the u. s. defaulting on its debt that kevin mccarthy,

when he was elected his speaker of the house, managed to do so by getting some votes from republicans who said that they wanted to see spending cuts when the debt limit came up. now, joe biden, and the white house said that simply not going to happen, that this bill must be passed clean and done. so just like they've done for republican and democratic presidents in the past. now, if there is a problem, this could cause a real difficulty in the u. s. economy and by extension, or with the world economy as well, back in 2011, when republicans and then president barack obama couldn't come to an agreement. the u. s. last, it's top credit rating for the 1st time ever. and there was a tremor through the world economy that something that joe biden is keen to avoid, particularly given that the economy seems to be recovering from high inflation and high gas prices. and also things are becoming slightly easier for many families and america. so it's going to be

a very interesting 2 or 3 months as the u. s. comes up against this debt limit, not on the verge of defaulting. no, but certainly the issue is there and it's got to be dealt with quickly. a fire has torn through a low income area in south korea's capital, forcing hundreds from their homes around 60 make shift and dwellings have been destroyed. hundreds of emergency workers were sent to fight the blaze. it's believed all residents were safely. evacuations, tens of millions of people in china and traveling across the country to celebrate the lunar new year. this weekend, the government ended strict cove in 19 rules back in december. and for many migrant workers who live in cities, it's the 1st time they're going home. since the pandemic began, katrina, you has this report from bay g. 20 years ago, tungsten was left her home in china's south to work as a cleaner in beijing. she promised to return at least once a year,
