a show of support to ukrainian president vladimir to lensky johnson warned that war would be a lose lose outcome. russia invasion of ukraine would be a political disaster. humanitarian disaster, in my view would also be for russia for the world, a military disaster as well. and at the out potential invasion completely flies in the face of president putin's claims to be acting in the interest of the ukrainian people. ukraine is not completely relying on diplomacy to protect them. president lensky announced a huge addition to his nation's army. mableton was to jot west william on over. we will create a new political cooperation format in europe between ukraine, great britain and poland was missing. within the next 3 years, we will increase the number of the ukrainian armed forces by 100000 professional

soldiers army. in a video release, just hours before boris johnson's visit, soldiers tested rocket artillery systems. just north of the crimean peninsula, which russia invaded, anne annexed from ukraine in 2014. both sides are preparing for war. while the diplomats try to make peace of more of this, i am now joined by our correspond mathias bellinger in here, mateus. however, a president prudence remarks received in ukraine. well, fortune has had a few our remarks about ukraine in the recent month. he has also elaborated on his historical view, has called ukrainians and russians of has said there and they had been being in a, in a historic union. there were brotherly peoples and has justified his, his claims on ukraine by these historic um her,

these historic claims are, this has not been received very well in ukraine. ukrainians see themselves as very distinct off russians. and increasingly so while the country was 20 years ago, still divided out of whether on whether it should be leaning towards russia or other to the west that has dramatically shifted in the past few years, especially since the 2014, since these proxy was in the don bass, where russia is engaged and since the seizure of crimea and her and unsurprisingly, ukraine is looking for other allies to help itself for protect, to protect itself. and that is, of course, sir, and for that ukraine is looking to the west. so i'm in pause, there's a clear majority now saying that ukraine should join the not nato of, of, or, of course, this is not on the table right now,

but this is the direction where ukraine is heading. now in for the president putin's view, ukraine has become a tool for nato members to be used against russia. hottest ukraine respond to that . yeah, as i said, it has a majority of ukrainians, is now favoring a membership in nato and her. this is something that is very important from for, for many here. and her, you can, is do not see themselves as a tool, but they see themselves as a nation. that is choosing its allies according to their own necessities but ukrainian present. soleski has announced an increase and no ukrainian troop numbers tell us more. yeah, days are going to be a reform, according to the president of the ukrainian army, the ukrainian army is now

a conscript army. there are conscripts and there are professional soldiers. the number is about 250000, currently serving, plus another 100000 plus, plus who are, who are have convert experienced. but we're currently in reserve and jersey lensky has announced that he will enlist more professional soldiers and my face, our conscription ah, and her one of the things he has announced is to make i'm service more attractive by raising the payment of soldiers. that is the most important part. what is billing are there for us in here? thank you. what is let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. president, tomorrow's. the circle and barlow of guinea. bizarre has issued a statement saying he's safe and that com has returned to the west african nation is statement came after. heavy gunfire erupted in the capitol. security forces

have taken a more critical stance to india. now whether it has been arise in the number of attacks on churches and christian gatherings, their being carried out by right wing hindu groups emboldened by new laws that crack down on religious conversion. critic say these groups are abusing the laws to push their own agenda. often facing no consequences themselves, dw delhi corresponded the massage as well traveled to the town of bali and that the southern state of karnataka to meet a pastor who has shut down his church in the face of continued abuse. oh, the highlight of pastors over there this week has always been the sunday service. but now he's being alone at his church and hopefully it is the 1st time he has been back in more than 3 months earlier last october. as the pastor was on his way to the church,

he received urgent phone calls wanting him that wall and dylan linked with him to right wing groups, were disrupting the sunday bray gathering that they had lodged in and started loudly chanting him. c when the bastard, i had to question them, the claim that they had proof, he had tried to forcefully convert a hindu man in them. it's the pastor said he never met the alleged victim before. yet he was still taken to the police station on charges of bubbly abusing a man from a protected kara on. well, i was the one who called the police. i was going to file a case against them, but they pushed me aside and started beating me like they beat 7 members of my church gamble. they entered the police station and abused and threatened to hold them in. no action has been taken against the hinder group. it was the pastor who spent 11 days in jail and he continues to face charges. it didn't end that. the past has family was standardized in their neighborhood. the landlord threatened with harm if he didn't evict them in,

but they were forced to move. they also had to pull their daughter out of school because she was being bullied. my children's classmates were harassing them, daunting them that their father had been sent to prison when that my children were embarrassed and i had to pull them out of school. they haven't been able to return . over the last year. christian groups have reported a spike in similar acts and had a smitten karnataka, especially after plans for the new law, but announced method of her not i'm in the process of passing, an antique and rosa loss, which target can voice in think the fraudulent affords. but the definition of what is illegal is very broad and the punishment metric right wing hinder groups here strongly support the law. mind you not hip sir, was amongst the men who stormed pastor of it at these church. he alleges that christian congregations like over these been wash hindus into the jack thing, their religion or offer financial incentives to convert the law. he says,

will give them strong grounds to put an end to this. they always happen once the law comes. we can demolish the strategy, so the already prepared to demolish. we are, but we are waiting for the law ruler wants to just passed on. our hands are no longer day and we are free to take action. we can guide students and report them to the police and good luck all day that the following up for now passed over the visits george members at home and only in areas considered safe on this man and his family, but also forced out of their village after the attack on the church, but these see the find comfort and pledge all the want is the freedom to do so. in all the ws delica responded to mr. jones was filed this report and she joins us now from debbie herb namisha. these attacks have been going on for some time. why is the government not doing more to protect these christian communities? baker had the simper jesus in,

is that the government is often one of the doors making these allegations in the case that we just watched. bill b, timmy's elected representative, was actually one of the people who led the protests following the past as it all at arrest and actually called for action against him. now of course it's important to note here that the in that india christian community is one of the oldest in asia and did fact centuries in the target of these groups as well as be debbie legislators is daughter was born hinder. when of an have i been officially converted or covertly believing in christianity, but of quite be dimly led. slater themselves had actually been present or have made suite of the directly called for action and sometimes even violence against these communities. and the out of was all for pushing andy conversion laws across the country are tell us more about this, this anti conversion. a bill. what's its purpose? where to look at the one and good not to forget hard. interestingly, it's called the freedom of religion bill, and if you look at it,

simply actually just prescribe for me is to can word. for example. it says that you should lead authorities know a month before can wording and also to port your conversion a month after it. however, all these reports actually allow for die of a dime for trisha, for a hindu rate when golds to attack would abuse these people for this is generally a winded. in addition, many kinds of conversions are considered fraudulent or force and can be charged. the word only autumn went, for example, is used for what is considered illegal and that has such a broad definition that pretty much any one can be charged with forcing conversions . and anyone can afford these conversions as well. not just family, but neighbors and bystanders door and strict action of deacon against these people . mister india has also been recording arise in the attacks on minorities for quite some time as this impacting the modi government's popularity. but while international condemnation and attention has been brought to the fact

that attacks and minorities are raising and india domestically, political analysts believe that this could actually be adding to them or the government's popularity because of the government's agenda, offer hinder, our shorter hinder nation, but has been promoted, not only to policies, leg these, but also laws and, and as well of silence on attack on minorities. now this for example, again, can include to call a thing that christians are forcing conversions or thing that muslim formatting handle girls and practicing love. she hired all of these allegations, demonizing, minorities, and thing that hinder was on the threat. and that hinder, should take over by and should be than a should be the religion that drives the nation. this, of course, please. well, among the war does for parameters to millions or more, these government as well the w's and the me, such as, while they're reporting. thank you very much. the mission here in germany, 2 suspects are being held for the killing of 2 police officers during
