ah, ah ah ah, this is d, w is coming to you live from berlin. germany's transfer heads to the white house for crisis talks on ukraine. all of sholtes has been criticized for not fully supporting allied efforts to counter rushes,

proof build up on ukraine's borders. he's looking to reassure the u. s. of germany's result that as dw news visit said frontline town in ukraine where residents who've been or who've seen armed conflict before. now try to keep hope alive. plus candidates. capital ottawa declare a state of emergency is protestors against covered vaccine mandates paralyzed the city. the police chief calls it a siege and india bids farewell to one of its greatest singers. thousands gathered for the funeral of lata on gift come in her home city and moon by. she embodied music and melody for generations of people in south asia. ah hello, i'm terry margin. thanks for joining us. sherman chance the olaf schultz has arrived

in washington for talks sure to be dominated by the 10th security situation. here in europe shows his 1st meeting as chancellor with us present, joe biden as being overshadowed by the threat of a new russian invasion of ukraine before leaving for the wes sholtes said he would discuss with biden how to continue to make clear that military aggression against ukraine would have a high cost or russia berlin's nato allies, including the u. s. or unhappy with berlin's refusal provide ukraine with defensive weapons, which hold stress that the decision is in line with a longstanding german policy on arms sales. to bonus li gillham's for years, the german government has followed the clear course of not delivering to crisis owns on not delivering lethal weapon to ukraine from one to forget. that was my predecessors policy. it was right then and remains right. by the way. and this is really important to me that the majority of german see it exactly as i do as the government does. and as my predecessor didn't exist either,

but not everyone sees it that way and their voices are very loud at the moment of my, but my duty is to do what's in the interest of the german people. and what in this case is also the view of the citizens of this country on this longest, with germany under pressure for not taking a harder stance toward russia's mass military build up along ukraine's borders. shots is washington trip, could be tense. the german leader will be looking to show that he's committed to the western alliance. dw oliver solid reports a surprise winner of the german elections. and on the other side of the atlantic, a surprised us president. yeah, they're gone. the solid all of shoulds is expected in washington is 2nd trip since the election. but his 1st since being sworn in us chancellor. he'll phase of challenging geopolitical situation and some different opinions to most partner and

ally. but there are many topics germany in the united states can't find common ground on and with a looming war between russia and ukraine, the white tolls, ones, germany, to play a more active role in the crisis. and there are more contentious topics to be discussed. china and russia closing ranks, the u. s. ones, germany to take a tougher stance on both countries. the russian gas pipeline north stream too may be on hold, but it remains a thorny issue. and our view continues to be that stopping the nurse, him to pipeline is a critical pret, credible piece, or we hold over russia at this point time. and the u. s. would like germany to take a more active role in ukraine threatened by russian troops. germany has never been an easy part under germany was a new government and a government that is composed of a historically, 1st of a 3 way connection. it's sometimes hard to explain to countries that have a presidential democracy like france or america that

a german chancellor has less power, less power, but reliability from a solid german chancellor and perhaps a tougher stance on russia and china. the american wishlist for all of shoulds is long while chance all are shelters in washington, germany is foreign minister, and alina barbara will be in kia for 2 days, am high level talks. she'll be joined there by her checks, lubbock and austrian counterparts are correspondent mathias bellinger. is in the ukrainian capital mathias. germany is not giving ukraine any weapons to defend itself. in the case of a russian invasion, kia has expressed deep prostration over this. what can germany's foreign minister do to show berlin support for ukraine? well, that's a very good question. we've heard it again. germany is not going to deliver little weapons. germany has however, delivered helmets and a field hospital or

a promised field hospital and germ, which has been marked at a little bit in the western defense community and also in ukraine. but germany has to do something if they don't want to see, be seen as an unreliable partner. well, it's one of the biggest or countries in terms of for an aide to ukraine. this discussion about weapons that has not been her lead. very, very aptly by germany. in the, in the last few weeks has really harmed germany's image here and also in central europe and a one thing that germany could probably do without arms or without violating this a self stated friend principle that they never deliver weapons to crisis reaches would be to unblock weapon deliveries from other countries from other nato countries were waiting for germany's consent to deliver weapons. for example,

that are of german manufacturing mathias sir. germany's foreign minister on alina baba she'll be joined in care by her check slovakian, austrian counterparts. what's their role there? well as the, what the shows us is that their concern is really high in many countries in europe about what's going on here and are the countries who obviously watch this very closely. are the countries bordering, ah, ukraine likes lavolle kia like poland, her and her. these countries do not have a, a unanimous stance on the, on the crisis. austria is leaning more towards the german position to diplomacy that they also have very good relations with russia, economic dpi, economic relations with russia. while the eastern f e u member states are much more, a wary are much more aware of her off a russian threats and i lean more towards the west and to board the american

position. now i know materials that you just come back from eastern ukraine, a you are there near areas control by russian back separatist. he visited a village, i understand right at the front line. let's take a look at the report. now. the village school of ranita, the last village here on ukrainian control territory, is close to the front line. it has come under fire before. now the classrooms empty, not because of the war, but because of new coven restrictions, the war is something. people have been living with for 8 years. they will not a border pushed on faculty. they began to whack most of the time the children go to school the to the speech, but we don't know what will happen in 5 or 10 minutes. she or to marin, i should say, were always worried because always scared. saperstein listed are just a few 100 meters down. this road is the last ukranian position, who is in the line,

the fi of the opposite side. there is a heavy military presence in iranian a ceasefire is in place, but shelling can sometimes be heard at night. let him couldn't hooked her the extra saturday. we already know her sheets and when so we just sit at home . it was worth a few years ago. we always had in the cellar when there was fighting it. sure. but that was then the shelley, skeptical the key to lovely. but with the latest russian build up, a bigger escalation is on the table again. coughing and on. so when things come down, we bought a house here, oh chest. but now we don't know what will happen with our ship.

some of them have not seen their relatives. um, but at the other board side of the border, some have children that one man said he as a son in moscow and a and a daughter in mario, poland, the ukrainian side. so these families are torn apart by this war. mathias, thank you very much. shell for your reporting. mathias bellinger? there? did these correspond in kia to catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world to day. at least 10 people have died after a cyclone. hit se madagascar, nearly 50000 people have been forced to leave their homes. the storm has brought widespread flooding to the indian ocean island. it's the 2nd storm to hit madagascar in recent weeks. chinese tennis star pung, shy, has repeated her denial that she accused any one of sexual misconduct in an interview with the french newspaper among disappeared from public for nearly 3 weeks in november after posting allegations that she was assaulted by
