hello, i'm to clog this is a new to our life from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. a cracked down on the corruption in war torn ukraine, the deputy defense minister and 5 governors lose their jobs in a big government shake up dangerous times for journalists, senior reports since the number of media personnel killed last year doubled than just 12 months. the judge investigating the deadly beirut port explosion charges the former prime minister and other top officials plus mrs. wang, are you with us? i am paying attention multi verse fantasy, everything everywhere, all at once needs the rates for this year's oscars with 11 nominations. as for victoria, either and i was back in title, that contention at the austrian opened it to time when i saluted the semi finals for the 1st time in a decade. so

ukraine's president has carried out a big shake up in the government to try and reach out corruption top adviser for deputy ministers and 5 regional governors of all lost their jobs. the 1st he resigned was a cri, low to ensure the president's deputy head of office. he was imperfect implicated in scandals involving his use of expensive cars, but he denies any wrong doing a deputy defense minister i shall love shopper, valve has also resigned following an allegation that his department overpaid supplies for soldiers food. the changes came 2 days after the deputy infrastructure minister. that's why sola lazansky was arrested and accused of getting kickbacks of up to $400000.00 in the deal to import generators. natasha butler was following the story in keefe will ukrainian present. vladimir lensky had indicated on monday that he was going to make some changes in the government circles because of

a number of recent corruption or scandals and allegations what we now know, what those changes are. we've seen a number of top ukrainian government officials who have resigned or have been dismissed the same for a number of regional governors, including as the governor of here, the capital keys. now, as lensky says, we are, look, we're at a time of war. there is no place for corruption at any time. there is particularly no place for corruption at a time of war when all politicians or people should really be focusing on the war effort. he is also said that are, all officials are no longer allowed to go on holiday abroad. they should be remaining in ukraine and very much focusing on that war effort. as i said, look for zalinski, he knows that you have western powers, ukraine's allies all sending billions of dollars of military and humanitarian aid to the country. they of course, want to know that their money is being well spent and not siphoned off by allegedly corrupt ministers. semanski is also very aware that for ukraine to become part of

the european union, one of the conditions is that corruption is stamped out in the country. or poland has formerly asked germany for permission to send its arsenal of german made leopard tanks to ukraine. a berlin has been reluctant up until now to approve the delivery to 3rd countries. and germany's defense minister says a belin has not changed its position, but will make a decision soon. dominic came as his report. this is the weapon system. the ukranian president says his country needs to fight the russians. the german made leopard to main battle tank. see here during a nato exercise, in lithuania, it's both heavier and faster than many of the tanks. russia is using in ukraine and widely used by other european countries, several of whom now want to re export them to key. if to end the conflict, we need to arm you cry, unfolding aquinas able to defend itself and turn russia is not able to push through

with this a gender of imperialism and still incur territory. and of course, i will very much welcome if german approved the or at least licenses or are would to put all own thanks or for export for you crying on tuesday, the polls formerly asked germany to allow them to do just that. so far, at least the german government has not made a clear decision. defrag on that. as for the question on leopard tanks, there is not yet a new position. i have always said that i am counting on a decision being made soon and that remains. my view of the view from nato is clear, while anti aircraft weapons and missiles can defend against air attack and armored personnel. carriers can transport troops to the fighting. the strategic value of heavy armor to punch through the front lines is clear. battle things are of course important, or both to be able to repel a russian, a new offensive spot. also for ukraine to be able to retake territory to, to win,

answer a prevail as a sovereign in the pent nation in europe. but there is another angle to a decision by germany to release the leper two's. some believe it could lead to an escalation in the war. and to a worsening of relations between berlin and moscow, a kremlin spokesperson said on tuesday, they are already at a low point. and that is the problem facing all our shots. the legacy of the 2nd world war hangs heavy on german governments. thanks like these help the ussr defeat nazi germany. and yet 80 years later, it's modern german tanks that might help defeat russia in ukraine. dominic cane al jazeera at the soviet war memorial in berlin. well, let's take this on non place to say join the is the study in foreign minister m s, or an solo. he's in talon foreign minister. what is your sense era? we get into a situation where germany will allow countries to send leper times into your current. do you think? yes, i hope so. because also today,

i met the nato secretary general spartanburg german defense minister and after wards of the american message was that countries who would be ready to deliver these parts should stop the preparations. so official decision will take time, but they who come in, nephew, and what about germany itself? well, of course it is a german decision. well, the foolish play officially has now deliver it to germany. and i hope in the course of coming nearer stays. they will look it through and i think also the public approach well in the western community, which is to encourage germany to do it immediately. i think it's i hope that the decision will be positive and also we will see in the future

not some symbolic come out of thank hundreds which will make calls on the back and ground. a difference is that those are the sort of numbers that are required. do you think? oh yes, because we should not forget that already. last year of essentially eastern european countries delivered to ukraine, who soon bye bye. thanks. and these are the amount of hundreds. and now, well, ukraine processes power plus thanks. and i think we are speaking about the capabilities also to, to resist the, as russian most probable, near a large scale out offensive, but also to go offensive by themselves. so we are speaking about hundreds, 70 seems to be a wholesale shift here. nothing is confirmed, but the u. s. media is reporting that the u. s. is poised to send to approve

sending abrams tanks and then that would be quite a minute. wouldn't it? yes. well, there has been argument used logistical one that the abraham's thanks needs also advise logistical support scheme. but i think if we are speaking about that large portion of thanks that it will be worth creating it and us sees the russia, the 2nd country, possession of, of tanks on there. so i think if there are room or who there is students to build some kind of delivery. so if all this happens, 1st of all, how long do you think it will take for these deliveries to take place? and secondly, what kind of difference will it make on the ground? well, usually if the political decision is made, so they weapon systems will reach already to the battle ground,

maybe week time. but surely, the tanks will demand also to, to have a certain instructions to ukrainian that so just and so it will take some time. and i hope in poland there will be a search and instruction program start launched. and we need also a support mechanism logistically, but i think the time we will measure, i hope is going to be in weeks already to get them in the back. the 3, are you concerned about how russia might view a mass deployment of tanks into ukraine? well, actually, no, they just their site up. and these arguments, as you remember, the similar debate around the western capital was when there was

debate whether to deliver to ukraine howitzers artillery in the last the late spring early summer, and also russia then a threat. and that it was a tremendous escalated face. but i think that we have seen these products and we should immediately deliver all the conventional weapons what are in our session western countries. and secondly, also without any political candidates. estonia just passed the seat and we are, we are now in a comprehensive amount. we are going to deliver one percent of our g, d, p to military a 3 crane. and i have consistently made the plate also to other countries to join that pledge. what do you making make the purge against the government officials in ukraine coming at this time?

sorry, your meeting, which context you currently with the various government ministers have either resigned or been sucked from the post? well, the issue scandals our problems will rise also in the doing of the horse war and also in this on well in this century in europe, unprecedented scale of genocide war which takes place. but i think that we have to recognize also that ukraine and officials handle it in a transparent way. and this is also, i think, a bases of trust between these countries who are delivering support to crane and ukrainian government. i'll leave on if i may, for a minister to expulsion by the russians of the estate in basset. what's your reaction to that? well, it is a context of well for russian aggression war against ukraine. estonia has been

amongst the most supportive countries in by all means to ukraine and that and resisting their action migration. and they also stated that this is the context they lose their liberal medic, representation in a stony, out to the level of affairs that will be similar, 10 years response of course. and we already have stated that we are going to establish a very, in our amount of our staff of emphasis. and i have made a call or other countries to look to look into that and let to the already a yesterday announced they are going also to lower as active. so just don't you know, the diplomatic representation to the level of the apartment. so we appreciate your time. thanks for talking to us here. down to 0. that's the study for

a minister. i'm as run sort of thank you. thank you. that him all still head on the news are including us gun lords in the spotlight after 2 mass shootings in less than 48 hours in california. no end in sight protest as emperor continue their demonstrations calling for the president's resignation. philips hating up to record breaking day for this double olympic champion. santa will be here with us. ah. from the front lines of the war, ukraine's were shot rise in killings in latin america. 2022 was another deadly year for journalists and al jazeera was not untouched our own correspondence. sharina, i will actually was shot dead by the israeli army while on assignment in the occupied west bank in may. worldwide, at least $67.00 journalists and media workers were killed last year. the highest

number since 2018, and an almost 50 percent increase over 2021. more than half of the killings occurred in just 3 countries, that's ukraine, mexico and haiti each reported the highest number of journalist deaths ever 18 of those killed were local reporters who were murdered in retaliation for their work covering politics, crime, and corruption were la correspondence have this report from some of the toughest places for journalist to operate. ah, 2022 was a deadly year for journalists around the world, covering bull conflicts, but also reporting on politics and corruption. we've seen journalists targeted for simply doing their jobs. well, ukraine is a dangerous place for journals. they're often covering stories very close to fighting on the front lines. but what we've seen in this war since february 2022 is attacks going to happen anywhere. and at any time now at least 15 journalists were

killed in ukraine since the war began in february, amongst them and american, a lithuanian frenchman, but also ukrainians most were killed in the 1st months of the war. but many others have also been injured or even targeted in the course of their work. in latin america, media workers are facing daily challenges last year. british journalist, dumb phillips was murdered in the brazilian amazon. at 2022 here in mexico, more journalists were killed than any other country. bar ukraine. the committee to protect journalists says that 13 in total died. that's more than they ever recorded in mexico. what are the reasons for that? well, as you would expect, the call tells the gangs that a very powerful in parts of this country are attacking and threatening journalist, but also authorities. a federal government stop says that 40 percent of the threats and attacks against journalists actually came from officials. a lot of times those

are local ones, it's local journalists, hearing the hinterlands of the country that are most affected by this journalists have been under attack. over the last decade, we've seen press freedom regress in the philippines. we've we, we've now shocked 2 at the press freedom index. we're $147.00 out of one ab countries around the world. last year radio, an online commentator percival, nevada, was gone down inside a gated village destination, revealed that the former prisons, chief of the philippines, gerald montague was the mastermind. but it's not just the killings abs. cbs, the country's largest deuced network, still cannot broadcast on we do air tv. there is hope, however, maria reza, the bell prize winning journalist. she's been cleared the past asian chargers, though she still faces several cases. the court and her news outlet. rattler still is in danger. of closure is really forces target and shot and just either

journalist, chilling of awfully. while she was on assignment in janine she was a household name at veteran journalist whose colleagues looked up to and for that for her killing to go without accountability even though she was killed in front of the camera, just gives you an idea how difficult it is and how high the price is for germany in palestine. just last year, 117 journalists were subjected to a tax by israeli military, according to the palestinian journalist syndicate. and 2023. doesn't look any better. i take you straight to washington, a pentagon briefing is on going, let's listen in the grain. you haven't understanding how many banks ukrainians think they need for this or maybe offensive coming out of after the winter season. yeah, well i won't speak for the ukrainians. they certainly voiced to the department of defense and other international leaders in terms of the security assistance

requirements that they have in order to support their armed forces. and as i mentioned, we continue to have those conversations in terms of germany. secretary austin did have very productive conversations with his german counterpart when he was in germany. we issued a read out of that which i, i would refer you to. but in terms of decision making on this side of germany as to whether or not they will provide tanks or allows 3rd party countries to provide those tanks, i'd refer you to them or you understand this point. but my question is, how has the german leadership defense leadership communicated any decision to the department? on the left? again, i'd refer you to the germans. i don't have anything to provide today. again, we've had productive conversations. we value germany very much as an ally. you heard secretary austin, talk about this in his press conference. germany has committed a large amount of resources to ukraine to assist in their fight. and we continue to

value there. there are the relationship that we have is germany and will continue to communicate with them very regularly as one of our staunchest and strongest allies. just a back on georgia military. i understand there's sort of, there's the dynamic force employment there. so what message is ascending to allies in the region that the u. s. is going to get in? it has troops to be able to get in and get out. sure, that's still committed, not only to 0, but it's other allies in the region. and also, is there any must that's being sent to iran? news exercise. yes. so to answer your, your last question up front. no, this is not meant to be oriented around any single adversary or threat. as you know, the united states maintains many relationships in the middle east region with many countries. israel is one of our closest partners in the region. and as i mentioned, this gives us the opportunity to work together to increase interoperability,

to be able to respond to a variety of contingencies and threats. so should that should we need to operate together? we can do so seamlessly in terms of messages to, to other allies in region. well again, i mean, just broadly speaking, it demonstrates the fact that the united states, as a reliable partner there, we're going to continue to work together to ensure the security and the stability of the region. as you know, we also conduct bilateral exercises with many other countries. in the region, and so this one in particular is obviously the, the largest of its kind. and we look forward to working with israel as we further increase our security relationship and our interoperability sir. so if i could just follow up on that, on juniper oak, the exercise is to include mid air refueling, i believe alive, fire drill, encompassing quote. the full target engagement cycle includes suppression of, of air defenses, strategic or introduction. and electronic attacks,

to senior official. is this indicative of a shift to a to a deter impostor by the us with regards to runs nuclear program. again, this exercise is focused on interoperability and strengthening our security relationship in terms of working together. and as evidenced by, you know, most recently the counter isis campaign, the ability to pull air forces together seamlessly and operate in a way that is going to be effective is vital. and so this is one aspect of that, although the exercises, obviously more than, than just about air our and so again, it's not intended to be focused on any one single adversary or threat. it's all about working together. thank you. let me go to orange. i just, i was wondering if i could follow up with an update on the combined arms training cuz that was, i think planned for about a month for each group of $500.00. is the 1st group mirroring the completion of the training. is there planning for a 2nd tranche of creating truce just to begin that?

yes, so the training has begun. it started mid january as we talked about. and so again, i estimate that the training will last about 6 weeks. so once those, once that training is complete, obviously those forces will go back into ukraine. we do maintain the capability to continue that program. so it's not a one and done type of program. and so that will be ukraine's decision in terms of providing additional forces to go through that cycle. we certainly expect them to do that, but at the end of the day, that's their decision, given the situation on the ground. let me go to the phone here real quick, howard open. i got 2 questions. one of the tags, one of the air force. i'm a tanks, this is not a hypothetical question. as you discussed, via abrams to you, craig, how much to the issue of the optics are seeing these things blown up on the battlefield? play it daily. the decision making of the kind of guy has gone through. that's my

question on the tax. well, actually, on the air force, the air force bozeman for ukraine says morning that the type of aircraft of us will provide to ukraine has been determined. and he talk about that. is that been determined if so, what time? yep, thanks howard. so on, on your 1st question. again, i know it's not a hypothetical, but i don't have anything to announce in terms of m. once you know the capabilities that we have provided to ukraine and the capable capabilities that we will provide to ukraine in the future are not about optics. they're about combat capability and enabling them to have the best chance possible to be successful on the battlefield . whether it's defending territory or taking back sovereign territory. and then in terms of the, the press reporting on the u. s. providing aircraft, again, i don't have anything to announce on that front. i'm not aware of any ukrainian pilots currently training in the united states to my knowledge,

despite what those foreign press reports were saying, nor again, do i have anything to announce when it comes to aircraft. as we've said all along, we're gonna continue to have a robust discussion with the ukrainians and what their defense needs. that includes the near term, the medium term, and the long term. thank you. all right, let me go to patrick tucker, defense one that c u. s. department defense plate, some brigadier writer addressing a pentagon briefing, let's say go straight away to pedestal height, who can fill us in with more of what was said? well, like i can confirm for you from a government official that tomorrow at the white house, the u. s. is expected to announce that is reached a deal to support to supply m one abrams tags to ukraine. now this comes after weeks of pentagon officials from the secretary of defense, the chairman, joint chiefs of staff saying that they don't need them. they don't need these tanks right now, and they said there were a lot of difficulties with that,

that some of the things i said is they're not trained on it. the abrams is a fairly complex machine, a piece of machinery. bigger issue though is just the maintenance that goes into these abrams tanks. they, it is extensive and you need a huge team of people to be able to keep these tanks. running. other said, look, we use our abrams tanks and we use jet fuel to for, to fuel them. now that somewhat misleading because the a. m, on abrams is built in such a way that it can use diesel fuel or jet fuel. it's just the u. s. prefers to use jet fuel in that in that tank. but again, it appears that a deal according to the source has been reached, it will be announced at the white house. so i took a general, a writer was just asked, well, if this is going to happen, why have you been down playing it for weeks that this is and just talking about all the problems. and he said that he was going to confirm that there was going to be an announcement, although we believe there will be a. but he said, what we're looking at. and what we've always said is we're looking to help ukraine

with their immediate needs. and also later with their medium and long term needs. what i hear when he says that is it's not like the u. s. is going to announce most likely that they're not sending us stockpiles of abrams over to ukraine. say in the medium long term he that he can say, well look, we're gonna have to take a long time to train, not just the crews, but the maintenance. we're going to have to figure out a program for that. there's 2 different ways that the u. s. can sort of slow down this process of getting ukraine the tanks. they could basically say we're going to contract new tanks out, which they've done with some pieces of equipment. that would mean it would take years to the tanks to get the, the other way they can use the pot of money that i believe they're going to designate on wednesday for these m on abrams tanks, is they use that money to give it to another country that has already purchased one abrams, and then they give those tanks to ukraine. but again, the big news here in washington after weeks of saying that the gradients didn't need, couldn't use m one abrams tanks. it appears that the white house on wednesday there

will be the noun smith, that in fact the deal has been reached to eventually get these tags to ukraine. the next question passing, which of course we had the answer to that is how many they will send and indeed rushes response might be. i have been working on that, but i do not have the answer yet. but i think you can read a little bit and from what we've seen in their past announcements, for example, the patriot battery system that was ukraine is kept saying, we want patriot batteries. it's a really powerful air defense system. so when the us said ok, finally we're going to give you crane patriot missile systems. they said we're going to give you one battery. and so and then they've just now over the last couple of weeks started trading ukrainians on that that takes about 90 to 100 people to operate. and the training normally in the u. s. takes a year, so they're tried to compress it to months. but if you look at the broader scope, ukraine is a very large country. the patriot system is really designed to protect

a city, a small city like washington, d. c, or a military base. so it doesn't have such a wide range. so i don't expect they're going to come out and say, well, giving ukraine hundreds of tags, but i think it is more the message it sends to their allies in europe. germany in particular, there had been talk, the germany said will allow our leper tags if you allow your i'm on abrams, even though the department of defense of those 2 weren't linked. this very much would send the message to germany. the u. s. has taken the steps that everyone believe they wanted them to take. so now it's their turn. so it's a little bit of a political diplomatic dance, as much as it is what you creating on the battlefield. but again, these are incredibly powerful tags. they're very difficult to maintain, they are very expensive. but military experts say they could be useful because where we're at in the situation is the russian positions are really good. they're really entrenched and takes can be good at dislodging,

dislodging those sort of encampments. but again, they're also vulnerable. i mean, how many videos have we seen a freshman and ukrainian tags? just absolute blown to bits left on the side of the road. so that is also a concern for the united states. still seem to all of the concerns that they've had after almost an entire year. the asking for this kind of equipment. it appears in just a matter of 24 hours that the white house will be announcing that in fact a deal has been reached. and at least some, maybe one to we don't know the number, but some, and one abrams tanks produced by the u. s. not necessarily in the u. s. but produced by the u. s. will be going to ukraine. but again, we don't know how long it's going to take to field does to that field of battle. all right, protocol, hey, on the forthcoming announcement at what house tomorrow, wednesday on abrams tanks to ukraine party. thank you more later. still ahead here on out 0. why people in an ancient indian turn are upset about and make over its famous temple

a local life. god beat some the world top surfers that one of the sports highest perform offense. ah. the lot of ground to cover in this one. thank you for joining in, so let's get right to it in the middle east. still some disorganized showers around saudi arabia. that energy is pushing into the golf. so got to tell you. still, the risk of showers across cats are on wednesday, maybe even some under a downpours next thin here as well. temperatures are sliding through pakistan. still a few showers ago and his momma bought in the temperature and cobble at minus one that's below average for this year. for turkey, things are quiet, but we've got that colder air really digging in. so it's stumble, single digits. see the shower brown there is some exceptional warmth on cyprus. as of late a few days ago. temperature is about 2526. that co. c. a still coming in at 21. no

ah. again, you're watching out 0 reminder about top stories is our and breaking news out of the pence. good. al jazeera has confirmed that the u. s. plans to make its emma one abrams tanks, available to ukraine. cave has been pleading for western made tanks to take on russian military hardware, lebron's, former prime minister hudson. dia been head of security. i brass abraham all the money taught several chalk officials being charged anything very last 2020. an investigation was reopened on monday, after more than a year. a report by the committee to protect journalists shows 2022 was a deadliest here for media workers since 2018. 67 journalists were killed, including on to serious trina, who actually was shot dead by israeli forces while amongst the countries very badly hit with jonas being killed was haiti. we can

speak not to her. with isaac, who's an independent journalist, 90 joints is from the capital of puerto prince harold, understand that 7 jonas were killed in 2022, which is a huge number for a relatively small country. yes, i mean the conditions here for journalists are challenging and you know, most of the time, but it's, it's been worse, you know, if you want in the last year and we're seeing it with the murders of these journalists that were lost in brutal conditions until now so conditions remain difficult to, to, to be eternal is here. and i'm sure you must know some of those who must have known some of those who died. yes, i mean i, you know, it's a, it's a rather small mil year where you have, you know, folks are tend to know each other. so these are people that i either ran into or,

or know someone that, that the, who knows that these folks with very tough gibson impression of how it is then to work as a journalist and hate you. what kinds of things happen? well, it depends honestly on if you are a local journalist, you develop this, you know, approach to the news and, and tend to stand to stay clear, you know, from either deep investigative journalism or to venture in, you know, gain control areas. some do others, a new phenomena when you call online agencies where these drugs are younger and they tend to try and do these things on the other aspect is to have international media coming in and they do more investigative work. and dave enter into more sensitive areas, but even that is, is, is challenging and dentures. so the pressure that they put under the crimes at a committed who's committing the mother? is it individuals?

is it gangs, is it even the police a combination? honestly, the environment is difficult to work in and reporting on the news itself, just doing the basic job can be challenging. and so it, you know, it takes a very high level of sensitivity to be able to navigate the maze that, that haiti is today, especially with gang violence and global criminality. harold, i think we appreciate your time. thank you for talking to us, but it's important. thank you. thank you. now since the south nation of prison driven almost 2 years go, haiti has spiraled into political uncertainty and calles and the un chief is cool for special forces to be sent in and the un security council has been discussing the situation. kristen salumi is live now at the united nations and kristen tell us more about what's been taught while the un

special representative for haiti, helen la leim, repeated the secretary general's call to send this international security force to haiti to help deal with at the terrible situation there, a gang related violence has reached an all time high murder rate is up 35 percent sexual violence is on the increase. ah, the half the population is food insecure. but so far, the security council has not responded to that call to send an international force to haiti the united states, or which has traditionally played a role in un operations. there has express support for a form of a rapid reaction force, but it doesn't want to lead such a force. canada has been looked at as another possibility. both canada in the united states have been sending armored vehicles to haitian police to help them tamp down on gang violence,

but no commitments from the security council members or from canada. at this stage, canada says there needs to be political consensus and haiti before such a force can be sent. i had the chance to talk to ambassador bob ray from canada just a short time ago. after the meeting took place. we're going gauging very directly with the police, were sending more equivalent um and also making sure that the, the, the military that the police force has the ability to deal with the gangs. ah, in terms of the level of support that we can provide, anything we do will also be based on the learned experience that a, a mass of external intervention just on its own that says to the, to the, to the haitian police were taking over here. thank you very much, we'll just do this. i'm isn't, isn't. this doesn't have a sustainable impact. it doesn't last. and the key thing is to build up the haitian

institutions. so the question is, how to get political consensus in haiti. this is a government that doesn't exist. essentially the last elected officials termed out of office in the last month, there are no more elected officials in haiti. the prime minister that is the acting prime minister in haiti, arial on re, has put forward a timeline for elections to take place by february of 2024. but i am bouncer to re acknowledge that the security situation, the way that it is now they could not handle an election, no one would feel safe enough to come out to vote. so the question is, how to get consensus for that force without a government in place. it's a difficult situation for the international community, a very, very difficult situation for the haitian people. person,

but then the word starts to spread. i know status is like, well, quite on the western front. you didn't hear anything about that film for a while and then all of a sudden the word spread in the last 2 weeks. it's become a front runner now it's nominated for best picture. so i think it really comes down to what films are actually seen this by the academy, members in the nominee than what else is seen by most academy members. and when i think it's very rare that a big money maker is you know, wins best picture that that's, those are more rare. it's very often a film that you heard great things about from critics that didn't make a lot of money that gets nominated and then it'll start to make some money. but i don't think, i don't know. i think they do influence each other in that if the public is seeing something, i think sometimes it will make people see it. but then i think also sometimes that makes members not want to give in to let's just say the populace versus the
