economies and small businesses to understand how it affects our daily lives, economic damage in $15000000.00 are counting the cost. oh no jeezy. there is no channel that covers world views like we do as a roman correspondent. i am constantly on the go covering topics from politics. the conflict is about the environmental issue. the scale of this camp is like nothing you've ever seen access to health care. so what we want to know is how do these things affect people we, we visit places and state, even when they're no international headlines. al jazeera really invests in that, and that's a privilege. as a journalist, ah, western defense ministers meet in germany to discuss you. alms pledges to ukraine.

ah, hello, i'm adrian again. this is al jazeera, alive from bill, also coming up. another attack on displaced people in the democratic republic of congo days. often dawkins were killed by all groups. i facing off with police tens of thousands march in for route to mounting the resignation of president dean apollo washington. and i'm heidi jo castro, in charlottesville, virginia where we're looking at the state of abortion access in the united states. 50 years after rovers is way it's being billed as the chance to the side, the outcome of the war in ukraine. defense ministers from 50 countries. i'm reaching a germany's ramstein ebay st. discuss the next step in military support for ukraine

. top of the agenda will be battle tanks and heavy weapons which president vladimir zalinski says a vital to increasing his troops offensive capabilities against washing forces. several countries have already pledged additional support galaxy. so carly looked in. there is a vaccine against rational tyranny. and there is a vaccine against his weapon, it is no n. there is a list of countries that have it. there is a specific list from us that we need. want to helped us help them no dialogue or just help the the, the job and made leopard 2 tanks are at the core of discussions at ramstein air base launched in 1979. they've been upgraded several times. currently, 13 european armies are using the tanks. the leopard too, is valued for its maneuverability. it's lighter than other comparable models, such as britons challenge a to the tanks of recent basil battlefield experience. nato forces used them in afghanistan. the leopard tanks that germany has supplied other nations require

approval from berlin before they can be sent to a 3rd country. that means the tanks can't be sent to ukraine without germany's permission. don't zero's steadfastness at ramstein their base in germany, where that meeting is going to be held? she's with us now live a step is germany going to send leopard to tanks or not? well, it's definitely a question of every one here and ramstein wants to be answered today, but that's something we will have to find out in the next few hours. although many countries have already pledged more military support, happy weapons for ukraine. germany has kept their mouth shut until now, so we don't know what has come out of last minute. me thinks it's been called a game changer. this leopard 2 battle tank made by germany, ukraine's has had really needs it possibly for a next major offensive. so it's very crucial, and that may be also the reason that germany under the leadership of chancellor,

all of shawls has been hesitant to send them for month already a he says that it could actually escalate the war. he is worried about that he has mentioned in his concerns many times. and he also is really worried that this could lead to a direct confrontation between nato and so also germany and, and russia. and also his internal pressure from his party. the sbc at his social democrats who have been historically in the last decades, very hesitant to be involved in any military conflict since the 2nd world war. and i also really don't like the visuals of having german thanks again and, and confrontation with russia. also interesting, there's a pole here in germany done by german t v, which shows that around half of the people in german, germany are in support of sanding these. so battle tanks, but half of them are also against it. so this is something that all of scholes has

been dealing with, but now the international bratcher has become a manse. nato countries are really pushing germany to sent these thanks and even poland. oh, who has also lap or to tags has sat, we'll send them ourselves even without the permission. because as you say, germany needs to give permission to other countries to sandy stacks and there are around 2000 in your of so we're waiting what the outcome will be of this meeting to day out is there a steadfast in their lives? ramstein airbase in germany for the moment step many thanks indeed, will pro ukraine activists from serbia of filed criminal complaints against russia's wagner mercenary group, accusing it of recruiting serbs to fight in ukraine. earlier serbia's president condemned of a group portrait advertised for fighters. it was unusual rebuke by alexander voltage. serbia is a russian ally. serbian law prohibits citizens from participating in conflicts

abroad. seating yet matters near spreading hatred among serbs toward ukrainians towards a 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 please. there's been a new attack on account for displaced people in the eastern democratic republic of congo. it happened in it to a province. the un says that at least 7 people were killed. it comes out to peacekeepers, discovered the bodies of more than 40 people in mass graves in nearby villages. the attacks being blamed on a local rebel group, the un is calling for an investigation to establish whether the graves and the attacks are linked. while there are at least $120.00 malicious dom groups operating across the democratic republic of congo, a global center for the responsibility to protect says that abuses include unlawful killings, the recruitment and use of children, sexual violence and rape, looting at

stepped up to help ukraine defend itself and deter future threats when potent launched his reckless and unprovoked invasion. 11 months ago, he thought that ukraine would just collapse. and he thought that the world would just look away. but potent didn't count on the courage of the ukrainian people and he didn't count on the skill of ukrainian military. and he didn't count on you on every one on screen and around this table. but we need to keep up our momentum in our resolve. and we need to dig even deeper. this is a decisive moment for ukraine in a decisive decade for the world. so make no mistake. we will support ukraine,

self defense, for as long as it takes. now, we know that russia remains bent on aggression and conquests. and russian forces have increased their horrific attacks, killing many innocent ukrainians. we saw the cruelty of rushes wor, choice again, just a few days ago in the city of ne pro, a russian missile strike ripped into an apartment building, killing at least $46.00 civilians, including children. the kremlin forces continue to bombard ukraine. cities and citizens in russian forces have targeted power plants, theaters, sport, serena's, and centers of ukrainian history and culture. russia, the tags are designed to break the spirit of ukraine, but they have failed. and the people of ukraine have inspired the world.
