4:01 pm
a cease fire and humanitarian corridors. ah, i'm becker, it is welcome to the program. as russia continues its assault on ukraine, the united states has indicated it's looking into ways for poland to supply fighter jets, the ukraine, u. s. secretary of state antony blank and said american made f sixteens could be sent to poland to replenish it stalks. if also decides to send ukraine fighter jets from its own fleet, pilots in the ukrainian air force are already trained to fly the soviet aeroplanes . lincoln made the comments on a trip to ukraine's neighbour, moldova, we are, we're looking actively now, at the question of aeroplanes. the poland may provide to, to ukraine and looking as to how we might be able to back. so should pull and
4:02 pm
decide to produce. those are 2 hours of supply those plants. let's head straight to our correspond. i'm it is pulling a his in cave forest mathias. i want to get to that statement by blaine can and that offer of chance to poland. but 1st we're hearing that the sci fi from, are you paul has been broken again? what more can you tell us about that? that's been confirmed by them. are you paul authorities, the convoys could not leave the city today because the russian groups they have said have re ethan saw for firing again. because we also hearing that another a convoy that was supposed to bring goods into murray who has not arrived yet and is still under way. so the situation there remains dire, or these the city has been showed for 6 days, a electricity, water supplies a down. it's a very difficult situation. people have been hiding and show just for
4:03 pm
a long time. supplies are running out. so this conway was badly needed and it's failed again. that's of course, very bad. now back to then the it is of course bad news indeed. and we hope that something there will resolve itself in the coming days so that those civilians can get out. but i now back to that statement by antony blinkin. what would that main if paula were to send in injects to ukraine? would that be crossing a want to persons read lines? which in her is setting a lot of red lines and obviously trained defending against the russians. suggested that if they continue to defending itself, they will have to bear the consequences, which would be according to him that ukraine would lose its sovereignty. he's been threatening a lot of things. the question is, what would be the concert?
4:04 pm
whence is it is for sure something that he doesn't wish to see. but on the other hand, is a dancing around red lines that he is sitting all over hasn't really led anywhere. admitting your trained and ga tunisia was one of his red lines. famously, a few years ago, the europe has adhered to it and others. and there are the examples where western countries have tried to convince ukraine of accepting these deals that were unfavourable to your trade, all with respect to the red lines. all of this has not worked out, not that nature definitely does not want to get involved in this conflict and does not want to put get into a situation where a direct confrontation with atomic arms would be on the table. but these, this is read lines, question is hard to was yeah, definitely night having very clear about not wanting to get directly involved there
4:05 pm
. if this were a day to happen, mathias, would it signify the biggest military support so far from the west. it would be a significant military support. the air force has been ukraine's weakness. ukraine has invested and trained a lot of people on the ground because that has been the war they have been leading for the past 8 years until this a large scale invasion was on the ground. and russia, of course, has quite a big air force. so this is of course, something that would change the, the picture might change the picture. ukraine's air force has been doing much better than expected. also, thanks to a new weapons like the turkish drones or combat drones. and it's something that the ukraine has said it. so it would really, really request and would really want from her from the, with you trans wishes and no flies on that nature would defend with not do that. but this would be
4:06 pm

4:07 pm
a historian and retired general of the german army. mister whitman, welcome to day w. so the u. s. sag holland, could supply possibly supply ukraine with plains. but how will that be received by vladimir, put my russia, say this as night, her getting involved in the conflict? well, no nato, as such, shed does not want to get involved. and that is why the desperate or ukranian appeals for a no fly zone or not an option. because there are nato and the superpower economic super follow us would be involved with russia. but i have pleaded for almost a year to strengthen the defense capability of ukraine and for the time being that was with mo, bye, but very effective anti anti thank weapons and planes would be
4:08 pm
a next step. read your next step by heart. the announcement by the secretary at blink and this morning i had denials by the polar side that they would not send me 29 to your crane. if one does it, my personal opinion is one should not make too much brew. ha! and as for mister president, putting for use as subject geisha wall, which he is conducting against ukraine. he never needed a provocation. he did what he a apparently has planned for a year, so we wouldn't should not be too worried about how put in every act save the individual it states or step up there, the support of your grain of the grain and on false is it's right there sorry to interrupt you this or i just wanted to,
4:09 pm
he reiterated that noticed on that i want to be people saved is getting involved, but having people countries are sending arms and there is also talk now about western support is providing ukraine with anti aircraft weapons. what's the tactic? they wouldn't that effectively be seen as a no fly zone and therefore night are getting involved. it is a difference whether nato gets involved or whether nato strengthens the ukrainian or defense capability. many people do not know that at the same time when we negotiated and agreed to the nato, russia founding act in 1997. at the same time, a distinct partnership between nato and ukraine was established and a natal ukraine commission. so we've always been involved in lodi is ation all the training on tosses. and the man carried steen,
4:10 pm
jaw australia, a rock. it's a very effective and their supply to ukraine has been going on. and they have already shut down a couple of russian airplanes. and they, they, i, and well with russia they have been invaded. and until now it is commonly common, the accepted that individual countries can help you crane to, to step on the up the defenses. and if they get airplanes, as i said, one should not make too much about it. and then the polar share and signs on the on the plains must be removed and ukrainian science come on it. and then the ukranian pilots to know these machines because in the soviet union and in the warsaw pact,
4:11 pm
they were flown by all countries and forces they would just come to poland and then take these planes and go back to your crane. and i hope for the 1st in the 1st instance would they would tamma on they said 60 kilometers on lloyd, which has been standing in the open for 4 days and days. i cast whitman, former general of the german army in berlin. thank you very much. your time. thank you. good afternoon. british military intelligence sources say russian forces are now deliberately targeting areas populated by civilians. a response to the ukranian resistance, which is slowing rushes advance in spite of these increasingly brutal tactics. volunteers, including many from outside ukraine, are signing up to join ukraine's army and men between the ages of 18 and 60 have to stay in the country. so they're available for conscription. these men are determined to fight for their country, even in the face of russian firepower,
4:12 pm
and without support from nato hearing keith, they're waiting to sign up. the ukraine armed forces resolved to do their part for the war effort. north of a war of the care, which is my duty. i want to be useful. i want to help you. i want to protect. i want to fight back with. i want my family to return to ukraine as soon as possible, and i will do my best. other volunteers stalking up for the battle ahead and optimistic about victory. we know wiley defined our country and our guys that are actually standing there and fighting our russian military forces. they know what they are doing those guys. they don't, we know what we are doing, and that's why, really when it's that determination that's helped inspire volunteers from much further afield to join the fight. at craig, mimic theresa lensky here for justice. griffin springs, formerly even one of the country for on and what he's just thought is,
4:13 pm
thought galvan noise variable, or no illusions on our romantic ideas of war. old, i'm going to be some hero role. make a difference or any of these for this water. i mean, you could die. yes. really. going to do 3 was with heavy fighting already reaching the city via pin. just outside keep. it looks likely to volunteer. his bravery will soon be put to the test. turkey has been attempting diplomatic efforts to end the war. president, wretch of time. oh, aunt has spoken by phone with his russian count to pomp vladimir potent and urged him to agree to a cease fire in ukraine. open humanitarian corridors, and to come to a peace deal. and turkey has close relations with both moscow and here, but recently moved to limit the pass and passage of russian warships into the black sea. a longstanding, international agreement allows anchor to block shapes from passing through. it strikes during war time, but it can't prevent them from returning to their home ports. i enjoy now by
4:14 pm
d. w correspondent, dorian jones, in istanbul. dorian talk us through turkey's position here and what's at stake if heard on. finally, turkey will, along with most of the international community shares absolute outreach of the humanitarian catastrophe. it is go unfolding ukraine because of russia's invasion for earth. one, president, nerd, one has quoted unacceptable in rare public criticism all of russia. but beyond that, i mean, this is a nightmare for one because much of his foreign policy is been developed and having very close relations with both ukraine and russia. russia are very key economic, almost like much of turkey's energy incorporating in syria. and ukraine is one of turkey's most important partners for economics and defense contracts and in photography, businesses of south of massive damage from this russian invasion. so for early one who's trying to cover his economy, he fears that this unfolding invasion of ukraine will deal most to conway and he
4:15 pm
stacy re election next year. so he's desperate for this comment to him. for many have tried before him and so far failed is early one, some one potent is likely to listen to as another one does have close relations with who to 9 that's been much of a concern for turkey's western allies, but earth was always argued, it's important have relations with both sides and he has been positioned himself to be a mediator in this conflict. he's repeatedly said that i am ready. i'm here, i'm in a many i with a unique position having good relations with both sides up up for now, putin has rebuffed this and in many ways it's seen as is by humiliating for a while, especially is earth one spoke with guten, the night before rush launched the invasion and he received no warning of that invasion, which was all to do turkey's diplomats be stranded in ukraine. and that was seen is very humiliating for, for one. but having said that, there is
4:16 pm
a possible dorm mediation. turkey claims that the brain ambrosia have agreed in principle, but the turkey could house a foreign minister. e row meet me, the meeting between the 2 countries, possibly next week, but no confirmation has been given on that date and time. and or, and so far, turkey has shied away from sanctions, eas, turkey, turkey, likely to join other nato and western nations in bag backing sanctions against russia who took, has been very outspoken about sanctions. they say that they don't work their counter productive in many ways price itself same with the only one in the present imposes. we can still hope to rational, and some people are suspicious. so you can see itself in the back door like i've done with miss acclaim. but beyond that, even though turkey's resisting the sanctioned school and even closing his s face to russian play plays like with he's continuing to provide wetmans to you. great and
4:17 pm
very important, charming russian missile from top leave, very successful and also it's all important are continue to take losses. so in many ways this is seen as possibly the most. it is basically citing front i and thank you very much, dorian jones, forth in his temple, much like turkey. israel is also working for a diplomatic solution on saturday, prime minister, enough tale. bennett became the 1st world later to mate with vladimir putin since the invasion began. to surprise meeting was followed by talks with ukrainian president landscape bennett, then travelled on to germany the 2nd time this week. his met with the german chancellor, after allah shalt visited jerusalem on wednesday. bennet has offered to act as a mediator with israel, maintaining good relations with both russia and ukraine. of a more, let's bring in data, be political correspond benjamin alvarez gruber. ben,
4:18 pm
what more do you know about the meeting between chancellor sholtes and israel's naphtali bennett? we had a brief, a press release by the german government spokesperson. he said that both so prime minister bennett and german chancellor shells met for 90 minutes. what they underlined is that they will do everything they can, that is in the strength and the war in ukraine. as part as soon as possible and that's all to what they're on the line, their commitment when they met in jerusalem earlier this week. ready why didn't bennett take the initiative to mediate in his complex is really, isn't a quite interesting position. so as you mentioned already, it has very good relationship with both moscow and also with keith. but it's a difficult the also situation for israel. we've seen the video protests in israel already asking the government to take a clear stand and to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine. but there are 2
4:19 pm
interests here that the government has to keep an eye on. so one side is of course to present himself as part of the west, and the lions are close ally to the united states. but also of course it has its own national security interest. and israel has a security military cooperation with russia in syria. so that's exactly why many and wise to lance guilty, prince president has asked, inevitably banded the prime minister of israel to act as a mediator. so for now, these talks, it will continue. this rather surprise visit to moscow and to berlin. and thank you think have a political correspondent benjamin aller as grew about it up now in some of the developments in the conflict, several western media organizations say they're suspending reporting in russia with many journalists leaving the country. the decision comes after the kremlin pass legislation cracking down on independent reporting. under the new law journalists
