a talk today with the prime minister of sweden. but this is a position that i, germany had already before. already the previous governments with under angle america of which also the current chancellor of shorts was part. as of the finance minister, the previous government had already said that they were in favor specifically of albania and north macedonia, joining the you and the previous government also thought it was important for these 2 countries. and in general, the western balkans to become closer with the european union and obviously now with what is happening in ukraine, this has become even more relevant. and obviously the current government is going ahead with this position and wanting to accelerate talks to already start as soon as possible, but also to look at reforming the you to make the accession of these 2 country to

the union. more likely and possible. ok, let's talk about sweden's, how has sweden's stance on nato membership change since the beginning of the russians invasion of ukraine? the government stands has not changed. the prime minister herself, has said that she thought it was not the time right now to work towards sweden joining nato, even though calls for that were coming from her the opposition parties in sweden. but we've seen as swift, a shift in public opinion in sweden, with polls showing that for the 1st time. now, there is a slight majority for people in favor of joining nato with 51 percent of people in favor of this. this is something that was never seen before in the country that has always been a neutral since the early 1800. that hasn't taken part in any wars in europe in

recent years. so there is a debate going on in the country, but the government for now doesn't seem willing or doesn't want to push this process to happen. swiftly, dw political correspondent, julia said deli, thanks. i much ukrainian president of the modem is the lensky has signaled a potential diplomatic opening ahead of peace talks, set to resume in turkey. in an interview with several independent russian news organizations which the criminal banned from publication inside russia. cholenski said his team was carefully studying moscow's demand for ukrainian neutrality. he said that the issue would have to be put to a referendum. meanwhile, russian forces have been intensifying attacks around the capital, keith and there is growing concerned that the besieged ports of mario pool could soon full after more than a month of fighting key remains in ukrainian hands, though, increasingly scarred by war. but even those whose homes have been destroyed,

believe that victory is possible with enough help. what does the rest of the war? everything depends on how our western friends help us. with the we will win. if we get lots of help at us, we will win soon. as it struggles to make advances on the ground, russia has ramped up its bombardments much of har. keith, just 50 kilometers from the russian border, already lies in ruins. it was ukraine's 2nd largest city. now half of its residents have fled. thousands of those who remain have taken refuge in underground train stations, hiding from rushes heavy shelling in the besieged city of mary. u paul, the situation is even more dire. food and water are scarce and local, say they've had to bury their dead and make shift graves. ukraine's president is carefully considering how to best and the suffering ballade. amir zalinski said his

team was studying russia's demand for ukrainian neutrality. and that the issue would have to be put to a referendum, a good idea of his up wasn't security guarantees and neutrality. non nucular status of our country. we are ready to go for it. that's the most important point. it was the main point for the russian federation. that's why they started this war funny. zebulon the g way on sunday ukrainian authority said an agreement had been reached with russia on a humanitarian court or out of mary you, paul, giving residents the chance to try and reach safety. those who do make it out may well join the ever growing number of refugees like these crossing into romania via ferry and we can cross straight to the ukrainian capital. keith. now we can speak to a correspondent there mathias bellinger, but his ukrainian defense officials saying ruffin force is a regrouping, but they're not currently able to advance. can you tell us what the situation is on

the ground there? and keith? yeah, there has been a some attempts to break through the lines by the russians at night. at least that's what the ukrainian side is saying. they're saying they have for them. what we witnessed is that shelling sounded more intense than before. i mean, we are not very close to the selling, but you can still hear it here in the city center, and there was a lot more going on last night and early this morning. now we are hearing reports that some of the territories in the north west have been taken back by the forces of ukraine. but of course we are waiting for confirmation for this. um, what we've seen throughout this whole war and are these, these several weeks is more than 4 weeks is that russians are half closed in are all came pretty close to the capital in the very beginning of the war in the

1st week, maybe. and then they have, have been stored there, they were not able to move on to the city. neither were they able to and circle the city and close it off, besieged it. i'm and that's pretty much what we've been seeing what this counter offensive, how effective this counter offensive by the ukrainian forces will be, remains to be c. l is going to be another round of negotiations between ukraine and russia that is, be held in turkey, wasn't the key issue is going to be for the tin side from this next round of talks . it's always the same issues. i mean, russia has stepped back from demanding the decapitation of the government, what they called the de notification of ukraine. and the demilitarization basically are leaving it vulnerable to further attacks by russia. this is not on the table any more we are hearing, but or the other issue is what's going to happen to crimea to don bass. what is going to happen to a possible nato membership of ukraine?

all this is still on, on the table, or this is still something whether 2 sides are very far from each other. and of course, ukraine's 1st and foremost demand and the precondition for all other talks would be a withdrawal of the russian forces from ukrainian territory. which is something russia seems not to be ready to do at the moment. the ukrainian president has said that his team is looking at moffitt moscow's demands for ukrainian neutrality. he added that that would need to be put to a referendum. what do you think would ukrainians be open to accepting a position of neutrality? at this moment, i think it's very unlikely that they would accept this. the whole reason for joining nature for ukraine was that they were afraid of a russian invasion. and what happened was a russian invasion, so people now think, well, we should have been accepted to nature earlier than this would not have happened. this is obviously not the moment where people would say, well let's give it

a try. or d, w, correspond mateus bellinger reporting from keith. thanks so much. now, military drones are an important weapon for both sides in the war in ukraine. the unmanned aircraft come in a variety of sizes and do many jobs from aerial surveillance to launching missiles . the u. s. is now sending ultra light drones to help ukraine, the switchblade drones is that known as small enough to fit in a backpack, but are able to strike targets with high precision. and i in the sky with a deadly payload. this is a promotional video by the maker of the switchblade loitering munition. it hangs out in the air, sends images back for humans to figure out targets. then it becomes a missile. switch blades are advertised online. they weigh just a few kilograms and can be launched from a small tube, requiring little set up or training. but it's the weapon system whose name cannot

be spoken, at least by us officials. i can't confirm a particular systems that president did speak over. we did speak of tactical unmanned aerial systems. we provided and are providing a 100 of those systems, but i'm not in position to, to speak to all the specific systems that may be included in that package. ukraine has already been using so called loitering munitions to strike russian forces. turkish made drones carried lightweight laser guided bombs. this footage purportedly shows the result of their strikes on russian targets. meanwhile, the russian military has been using drones, both big and small as part of its arsenal against ukraine. this video shows the aftermath of an alleged drone missiles strike on the science institute in keith. and a small drone recovered at the scene. will the switch blades be a game changer?

some analysts say the u. s. is sending too few of them a supply that will only last a couple of days. but as ukraine battles against the superior firepower of its invader, ukrainians can use all the help. they can get ok, let's take a look at some of the other stories that were following. flea russia has added this broadcast dutch adela to a list of media organizations. it labels as foreign agents. that designation means that we are required to label anything. we publish with a disclaimer. the term carries negative soviet era connotations in russia. suggestive of spying. and millions of people in shanghai, china have been confined to their homes. and what is a control and growing outbreak of coven? 19 the financial hub has become a corona, virus hotspots in recent lakes. the city wide locked down will be conducted in 2 phases. it's china's most extensive locked down in 2 years. now

israel has hosted the foreign ministers of the united states and for arab countries in historic meeting. the summit was overshadowed by an attack by the so called islamic states in the northern city of dera. 2 gunman opened fire before being shot dead by police. the neg summit brought together israel and 3 of the signatories to the 2020 abraham accords. they aim to normalize ties between israel and a number of arab countries. delegates said the some that was, was a step towards jointly confronting terrorism and regional threats. to come earlier, i spoke to nimrod gore and he's the founder and head of mit them, the israeli institute for regional foreign policies in jerusalem. and i began by asking him what made this summit so very different to other meetings? this is a very unique, a paternity. he's not here in hosting some it with multiple prominent politicians

and figured it was a very well not very positive agenda. we're flaming on potential corporation in multiple fields. yes. also security. those are the pro, my think issues going on the kitchen once you read an affair and presented a very good potential for the future. you got it. all right, now we're gonna take a listen to some comments made by anthony blinking. and then i'm going to come back to you to hear your views. as we do, we have to be clear that these regional piece agreements are not a substitute for progress between palestinians and israelis. one of the issues we discussed today was how countries involved in the abraham accords and normalization, as well as those that have longstanding diplomatic relationships with israel can support the palestinian authority in the policy and people in concrete ways. how the abram mccord signed in 2020 are a signal of normalization. but doesn't they completely bypass the palestinians

when they did the language between the issues and lag? a peace initiative which was actually presented 20 years ago today. we check. but the condition for normalization between these and an op countries in getting further to stay in solution with the put of statements. so we don't see that happening with see countries moving ahead with that initiative with ease and without 2 state solution. becoming near baghdad, invitation that is the patient of egypt to today's sammy, to reflect in willingness, perhaps to link and beat these 2 together. and most of the speakers today spoke about the need to move forward on the palestinian track. this is a challenge because some countries i'll think about their bilateral ties at the moment. but the pulse bits of playing bay is an older one is ation into the scale easily. but it's in peacemaking is what needs to be done. the let me put us in conflict cannot be avoided. it impact is as well being to put a stand well being. it produces security challenges. and i think all countries

where today, meeting and to make every, including the americans, should 9 should out what up to sleeve and think how to utilize what happened today . also to the benefit of he's everybody seen him peacemaking. now tommy bennett says that he is not reviving piece talks with the palestinian and say, ah israel and the palestinians actively pursuing peace in any way. right now. they have very different positions within the government and they've been at her verified provision. the also supported an exceptionally and pass it on the contrary in repeating the body of the 2 states solution, although does not believe feasible. progress is possible right now, and i don't think the government or even multiple b and more committed to advance to the solution. so day to make to provision than what it leads to is lack of official political negotiation, but as an option of contact on the need to level between figures in both government, which is good, but far from being enough to go in. the abraham records allows israel to strengthen

regional security against iran. what else is it guessing out of it? with acute is one day, ma'am sandy. it's about around it's about coordination and i don't even if strategic for but don't late in kid trade as being a toy. them to new hiv enables the culture to be a change in cooperation that climate issue of the energy. so it's a multitude of positive agenda that are now being advance, which is important because the path, especially if you look at the lation between even in egypt, for example, it was mostly about security, mostly behind it. and now it's more about to be an economy. and much more in the open and that normalizes not only the relationship but also the essence of being in contact. and when i have any very public feedback leaders interact and such a positive way, i hope it will trickle down enable border interaction and positive communication between the society the doctor. then we're going to mit then the israeli institute

for regional foreign policies in jerusalem. thanks so much for speaking to d. w. thank you. to the oscars now and the feel good family film coda has been named best picture in a surprise when making it the 1st streamed film to pick up the prize. but the most memorable, memorable moment of the whole ceremony was an outburst of violence from one of hollywood biggest stars access will smith gossip on stage and slacked. comedian chris rock in the face. it was the year's biggest night in hollywood with a star studded line up the academy awards honoring the film industry's best movies at the oscars ceremony. but the night was overshadowed by an incident on stage. comedian chris rock made a joke about act at will smith's wife, j pink at smith, who suffer strong alopecia. it didn't go down to well, taylor lover,

jane too can't wait to see you. ah. oh, oh, wow. wow, do it was a g i jane jokey. mark, boy, oh, yeah. a jaw dropping moment for viewers around the world. smith then went on to win, best actor for his performance in king richard. a movie about the father of tennis does venus and serena williams and he apologized in his acceptance speech. your part imitates life. i looked like the crazy father was like, this is alert. crazy father. just what is it about with you or your own? but love will make you do crazy things. the lapd says it won't take things further

. as chris rock declined to file a police report, oscars organizes tweeted that it does not condone violence. the academy also tried to show off its diversity compared to previous years. apple t miss coda took the spotlight starring death actors in leading roles. it won best picture mocking the 1st time. a streaming service took home the film award with the power of the dog, which led 12 nominations, picked up on jane canyons directing when jessica chastine landed best actress for her role in the eyes of tammy faye mcgrew. and best international film was awarded to japan's drive my com while the oscars was hoping to have a booster ratings to see as physical confrontation between 2 superstars certainly

dominated the headlines. enjoy now by scott rooks breath from the culture scott's. and this is going to be an oscar 1st. what is the rig repercussions going to be? is this going to hurt wilson? it's korea. we're going to have to see. i mean, i think we're all sort of in shock. still definitely a walk via watching this early in the morning. german time, a live on tv. i've never seen anything. anything like it. it looks like there won't be any legal repercussions or will smith. the lapd has said that chris rock has declined to press charges. it's not fall the police report, so it looks like on that front has an impact him or hasn't yet. i was actually texting with colleagues of mine in los angeles who are at some of the after parties after the oscars on at one big one they saw will smith with his family cutting it up on the dance floor having a great time. so obviously hasn't had a huge impact on him as of yet, the academy could sanction or will smith, but so far they have declined to do so. and they've,

even in some ways come out appraising him at least for his speech st was heartfelt and so forth. and it's very difficult to see where this goes from here. it could be that will smith becomes sort of a pri, on social media. after this, there's been a lot of condemnation already online for his actions. and we'll have to sort of wait and see what the long term impacts of this are. but i think that the more worlds still processing and all sort of really and shock because this type of, it's really a slap, heard round the world. we're not used to seeing this type of action at the oscars. i mean, it obviously dominates in the ceremony. but let's talk about the other one is and in a starting with best picture going to code as a film with mostly deaf actors. in a nutshell, what's the phone down here? this is in some ways to sort of classic oscar winning hollywood feel good movie. it's a story about as you see mainly the factors, the family of people with a hearing daughter. she's a coder, a child of death adults, and it's basically

a feel good story. she discover she has incredible singing ability and then she's caught between staying with her family or going out and living her dream. so really high hollywood story was a very, very popular movie. it probably also because it's such a groundbreaking feel not just because it depicts the death in such a way. but it's the 1st film from a streaming service. it's an apple tv plus film to win. best picture at the oscars that probably would have been the headline story this morning. had it not been for what happened last night with wilson and chris rock. so we had to punch in the face . we have a groundbreaking film coda. what other minutes did actually? well, i thought for some other moments like jane campion winning, one of the greatest living directors. because the 3rd only a 3rd female director to win best director for power the dog. and that was a very powerful moment. i really loved the opening musical sequence from beyond say, sing the song for king richard, which is the film it will smith one for. there were

a lot of actually great moments at the oscars a last night. unfortunately, everything has been overshadowed by this single act of extreme violence on stage from from will smith, an actor that is one of the most admired and beloved a world wide. it's really, i say, i've still completely shock for what's happened. i still do not know how to quite process it. so all in all, what's your favorite animal gwyneth wu in the winter is actually because it's been 2 years since we've really been back to cinema's, you know, with a covert and cinema shut down the film that really got me back into the movie moment was the biggest film that was nominated at 16 oscars, all the technical categories. and that's dune. that was a huge big cinematic film that i think got people really excited about going back to movies again. and that's the film that i really love to see last year and i was my absolute favorite and glad to see it. walk away. maybe not with the top oscars, but some of the major technical ones last night. scott, ross ross, preferably to, thanks so much. some folks news now
