kimberly hawk. it begins our coverage after days of deliberation. u. s. president joe biden made the announcement ukraine has long hoped for today. armina, the united states will be sending $31.00 abrams tanks to ukraine, the equivalent of one new current battalion, hoarding to the pentagon. it'll take months not weeks to get the tanks to the battlefield. widen says he made the decision after securing similar commitments from the leaders of france, the u. k. ad following germany's decision wednesday to send leopard 2 tanks to ukraine. russian officials have already denounced this latest move as an escalation . something biden was quick to counter today's announcement. bills on hard work and commitment from countries round the world, but by the united states of america to help ukraine defenders sovereign news, territorial integrity. that's what this is about. helping ukraine to fan to protect

your cranny, land. it is not an offensive threat to russia. the move marks a major policy reversal for bided overriding the advice of u. s. generals who resisted sending the maintenance heavy machines. the abrams have been in use for a half century at russia's aware of the tanks, vulnerabilities. since february, the u. s. provided ukraine with more than 27000000000 and security assistance, the white house insists issues of training and logistics, including getting the jet fuel needed to operate the abrams tags to the battlefield could be overcome through training. it means to be seen how well the ukrainians will able to absorb this hardware and use it. it may take at least a quite a while before they they can do it in before it has an impact on the battlefield. still, president biden insist the addition of the abrams tanks will make

a strategic difference as ukrainian forces rapid to defend territory in expected spring counter offensive. kimberly help hit al jazeera, the white house, or japanese decision to send tangs to ukraine, follows weeks of intense pressure from its allies. dominant came, explains from berlin. the leopard too, is one of the most widely used tanks in europe, manufactured in germany, but exported around the continent. it is the weapon system. the ukrainian government believes it needs to fight russia and for weeks ministers in kiev called on ministers in berlin to allow them to use the leopards in the country. now that call has been answered. 14 german tanks will be sent to the crane and other european countries will also be allowed to send. our goal is to quickly make 2 tank battalions available together with our allies. there are

a lot of countries which would also like to contribute in the deliveries and we will coordinate and ensure that it becomes possible step by step in the chancellor says he understands many germans are deeply concerned by his decision, but at least for other european countries have already said they are prepared to use their latitudes to help you crane you ready to participate in one or another way. those, there are many ways to do it because we know that this low body issue also need training for the drivers for the maintenance and so forth. it and spare parts. it needs the whole ecosystem of the year, but tanks and b, b, b. consider what is the best part for us? here at the russian embassy in berlin. the reaction has been quick and condemning the ambassadors says that germany has abandoned its historical responsibility to russia. 45 by not see crimes during world war 2. calling the decision extremely dangerous, he says he takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation. and yet some analysts believe that with russia

reportedly building up its forces for a spring offensive, germany felt there was no alternative to allowing leper to be sent in ukraine. everyone, all the military experts are expecting that russia is preparing for spring and the europeans now want to back ukraine in the ukraine government and ukranian army to be ready to defend the country in sending his country's tanks to ukraine. all of shots has done something, no other democratic chancellor here has done allow another country to use german tanks to fight russians in a war in europe. and so while shalt stated goal is to prevent an escalation between russia and nato. it may not be too long before the heavy weapons of both sides are in use against each other. in ukraine, dominic came al jazeera berlin, ukraine's president of a lot of his landscape is hailed the decision by the us in germany to send tanks of

historic achievement on concert on was unity much. and i think mister chancellor, old german politicians and public figures for their willingness to strengthen the defense of europe. but this is also a very powerful step by the united states. ukraine will receive abrams. thank you for those decisions. i think mr. president biden. personally, i think congress, i think every american family for the tangible strength of american global leadership glitchy. but the best with the key now is speed and volume. the speed of training our military, the speed of supplying tanks to ukraine. the amount of tank support we have to form a fist of tank, a fist of freedom, which will not allow tyranny to rise again. well in moscow, the criminal has dismissed the plan as observed spokesmen. dmitri pasco says, keeps allies over estimating the benefits of sending tongue see claims on forces.

shaping the media. she thinks it was the wrong decision made by meta. i think we're going in the wrong direction here. meta, listen, i agree that no company should ever have to make such a dramatic decision, because i hope in the united states, we never have a president who is egging on violence and insurrection, but that's what we had there. a remarkable set of circumstances that he continues to maintain on his truth social a camel, that the election was a fraud more. and it stirred people to violence that he act on using his account on med up platform. deal is the dangerous decision here because what it says is that donald trump and rich and powerful people like him here don't have to play by the same rules as the rest of us. all this is, by the way, on the heels of a report that came out out of the u. s. congress is january 6th select committee,

and that report found that donald trump's post on facebook and other platforms instigated the insurrection. mark zuckerberg, ceo, a facebook himself said that donald trump had used facebook to incite an insurrection into incite political violence and undermine our democracy. and here we are just 2 years later. and despite that untruth social, his actions have not shifted and have gotten even more dramatic. having a decision to bring trump back to the main stream on facebook. pelletize politicians and per you have moved to impeach president di napoli, wasi. she's been under pressure falling weeks of violent demonstrations calling for a resignation and new elections. the motion was signed by 20 members of congress and must be approved by 52 votes before a can be debated. hurry has been in crisis since december, when the former president peddler castillo,

was arrested off to trying to dissolve. congress rallies had been held in several cities across australia, calling for a change in the way national day is observed. australia day commemorates the arrival of the fuss, british settlers in the 18th century, but indigenous group, see it as a day of morning saying that a glorifies an invasion to mounts for change happen. gaining momentum and rece me is to the eyes, which would be a dive morning. it should be the recognition of the 1st shot at the squad and the thought of the warriors, the update, and what we refer you to the rest of the countries and what we do charge with true selling exercise. and the good to getting that the, the column the to realize it was like, did the british colony, the day was like through the gobblers mccore and i'm other representatives declared war and carried out born genocide. sarah clark has more from brisbin. well,

it is a large group of people, thousands of people every year, could even say millions of people who celebrate a study day being that god, the barbecue. have a barbecue. uh, they have lunches at home. they guys the beach and they celebrating the beginning of modern style. it was back on january 26, 1788 when the british 1st fleet settled in to city co. but there's also a huge group which is growing, i should say over last decade. also, the don't want to celebrate australia instead they calling this a die of morning. it were one of those occasions we started at a rally in the central business district of brisbin. that was a rally where people were very angry. they want the displacement of 1st nations people acknowledge on that day. and i say that 1st nations, people need to be acknowledged on a great a national scale, as opposed to celebrating australia. i know we have seen under the albany is a government entity open, easy, who's a prime minister. he has seems to be listening this year. he will hold a referendum where he will allow strains to vote on whether or not to change the

constitution to acknowledge 1st national people, as well as giving them a role on a national policy making basis. so this is certainly a diag mixed emotion. we have rallies around the country with thousands of people are actually gathering out to demand. other people listen to these, trying government and destroying people. acknowledge the arrival and the 1st sit was being the 1st nations people. not the colonialism, australia which began on january 26 back in 1788 or the controversy around australia days tied up with the impact of colonization on aboriginal australians. it brought massacres, lamp theft and impression of indigenous communities. more recently that was seen in the stolen generations of the 20th century when indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families over several decades at damaging legacy of colonization, as few feeling called for the national day to be moved to a date unite, or australians. marcella johnson is a foundation, chess, australia,

closed out to our people's over 235 years. and there, i can't imagine that there are any indigenous people who are not carrying this burden of colonization in a very intimate why i, in my own case, for instance, my grandfather and his twin brother were brought in his opens to a reserve, a crowned aboriginal reserve in queensland, i'm following a decades of masses. and recently historians of h to my to didn't been the region of central queensland way his traditional country was the estimated death, tall of original people massacred by the british and light up by a strange was about 70000 people. now india is celebrating its 74th republic day with military parade's, cultural pageantry. let's take
