ah, ah, ah ah, this is dw news alive from birth, potential progress in peace talks between russia and ukraine. russia says they will reduce military activity around the premium capital keith awards at this is not a cease fire. western governments however, are skeptical. also coming up on the show, after decades of neglect, the german armed forces are suddenly flush with cash. and on a shopping spree, where is that when he go way and violence of flares again in israel, a gun man opened fire any tel aviv suburb before being shot dead. at least 5 people

are killed in the incident. the latest in a state of deadly attacks that have shaken israel. the government is calling for caution. ah, hello, i am claire richardson. thank you so much for joining us. as the outlines of a potential deal to and the brutal war on ukraine start to take shape. russia has announced it will scale down military operations around the capital and the northern city of shani have. but western governments are skeptical warning. it could be a play to give russia's military more time to prepare for the next big attack. this as russian and ukrainian delegations meet face to face in istanbul. another round of peace talks. but this time with 1st signs of progress. as ukraine opens up to discuss, adopting a neutral status,

russia promised to scale down operations. but it is the russian defense ministry has made the important decision to decrease military activity, several fold it in the direction of keith and churn, to his, to increase mutual trust. and create the necessary conditions for further negotiations. negotiations that will be needed to increase trust, but in action and not in words, ukraine's presidents stressed talk more than those of other yes, we can say that the signals we hear from the talks are positive. i'll it. but the signals can't silence the explosions from russian shells. seasonal, of course, we see all of the risks though, and of course large we don't see ground to trust the words coming from representatives of the country that continues trying to destroy us over your body that are the nozzle. lisa rushes, announcement was also met with skepticism in washington. but i think we should be clear eyed about the reality of what's happening on the ground and no one should be

fooled by russia's announcements. we believe any movement of forces around cave is a re deployment and not a withdrawal i in the world should be prepared for a major offensive against other areas of ukraine offensives that in the future should be stopped by other countries acting as security guard tours. an idea that key, if proposed in exchange for neutrality and in place of nato membership as peace talks, gain momentum. there is no also another possibility on the horizon. a high level meeting between both presidents. so what do people in ukraine make of rushes announcement that it will cut back its military activity in parts of the country including keith. let's get the latest from dw correspondent, nick connelly, reporting for us from the capital of people hearing kids are definitely taking those announces with a significant pinch of salt. just this evening, we've been hearing the usual bangs in the distance. some of that will be ukranian

antiaircraft systems knocking things out of the sky, but there is also artillery fire nightly daily in the suburbs of care of rosa had reports of russian forces some way out of key of trying to dig in, building trenches and other fortifications seemingly prepared to be here in the long run, but yes, as you mentioned previously, they're not doing very well. they're not taking care of and a for now. i think people feel like the city has stood up to to that russian force on its doorstep. let's have a listen to what people hear and keep on the street. had to say about those announcements from miss temple today. no duplicative. that sounds good, but you actually, i don't believe it upon the wilderness. yes, the question is whether they are going to do this because they're us, these are not the 1st talk. so every time we hear the same thing that they want to scale down the fighting. but in fact they step it up a little correlation. yeah, the must have seen the mars. i don't think we can trust thresher. see you her. oh,

so of our model, their words are worth nothing, or the most shar, we believed that they would not wage a full scale invasion would upon the mazda next door. when you now, i don't trust their words or yon live either. you saw them. i think the russians are putting a brave face on their defeats and a lack of success around kevin. yes. we've had news in recent days of it p one of the big suburbs of key about 25 kilometers. as the crow flies more, i am here that saw some pretty atrocious civilian losses. and lot people have seen those pictures of the destroyed bridge and people trying to cross with their children, their pets, lots of civilians die trying to get out of that town. that now seems to be fully back in control of the ukrainian army. and some of the nearby towns were so some of the worst fighting the early days of this war, seemingly according to brains, was at least now surrounded by ukrainian forces in eastern country, closer with the land border with russia, there are some towns retaken by ukraine, just as i am speaking to now, i can hear some pretty loud bangs in the distance preparatory fire. so this is all

still very real, but a sense that the ukrainian tactics have paid off. not engaging with direct kind of a battle with the russians in the countryside, in the open areas, not giving the russians the kind of battle that they could do well. and instead of guerrilla tactics, and really working hard to deprive those russian forces of the logistics in the fuel, the food that they need to keep on fighting a collier point for us earlier there. now, shortly after russia invaded ukraine, german chancellor, all our faults announced a historic increase in military spending. it included a one time, some of $100000000000.00 euros to swiftly upgrade the armed forces and a pledge to spend at least 2 per cent of germany's economic output. on defense each year. so what exactly is germany planning to buy with these billions? let's take a closer luck. these us build aircraft up top of the bond with their shopping list . the f 35 can carry all types of weapons. it's design and coating, make it difficult for radar to detect with germany's current fleet of fighter jets

aging fast and upgrade is long overdue. the fmla fish is us more the f $35.00 is the most modern combat aircraft in the world mega and many of our partners, especially here in europe, have also chosen that susan, middles and partner together with our partners in the alliance will strengthen our ability to secure nato s face was incredibly to ter, lockwood, and also if need be, defend ourselves. was our business been as i most of the fertile, even the deal marks a shift in policy. instead of pursuing its own development projects the bond as they are spying what's on the market. even though critics say it increases germany's dependency on the u. s. the war and ukraine has made military modernization even more urgent. when it comes to air defense, the german armed forces are now also considering purchasing and is really anti

missile shield. this system is called aero 3 and compliments. the so called iran dome to protect israel against rockets. it can shoot down long range ballistic missiles and would be powerful enough to protect countries in eastern europe as well. that something germany so far has not been able to do, but might need to in the future. sim, mazata, alabama. so prepare ourselves for the fact that we have a neighbor who is currently prepared to use force to assert his interests. and that's why we have to make herself strong together. so that that does not happen. justice on tablet also needed new heavy lift transport helicopters to replace the old sikowski c age 50 three's, a system developed and the 1960 s the list of what the bond is there needs to bring it into the 21st century. is a long one from navy ships and tanks to radio equipment and ammunition. losing the backlog, caused by decades of chronic under funding will likely take years. still to come,

we take a look at a eurovision song contest winner who has been forced to flee ukraine. ah, ah, we'll talk to in jamal i, a ukrainian singer and refugee with more and one tale to tell. but 1st, we had to israel, where a gun man, on a motorcycle has killed at least 5 people in the israeli ultra orthodox city of been a brock, just east of television. the gunman was then subsequently killed by police and that the attack follows to similarly violent killings in the country. in recent days. this video shows the alleged gunman on his shooting spree. witness a said that the assailant began shooting at apartment balconies and other people on

the street and at a car. he was then subsequently killed by police. the deadly assault follows 2 other attacks in the country in recent days. on sunday, 2 police officers were killed in ha dara. why? last week 4 people died in a bombing in the city of beersheba. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility for both attacks. medical ha, came in august. how we ever going to end this problem? how can we leave our homes every day in a different place every day? alicia, this is my home, is really officials had warned above a possible surge in assaults for april in the run up to the muslim holy month of ramadan. a period in which violence has spiked in the past. i handle the citizens of israel. these are difficulties in every few years that the state of israel faces the wave of terrorism shifted after a period of quiet is

a violent outburst from those who are trying to destroy us, to quote those who want to harm us at all costs you whose hatred of the jews of the state of israel drives the mat elisha, those who are willing to die as long as we do not live in peace. so there has been no immediate claim of responsibility for this most recent attack yet. but israel remains on high alert and a charity concert for ukraine has raised some 16000000 euros among the music stars who took to the stage in birmingham. where as sharon and camilla cabrio ah, one high point of the concert ukrainian ilia bunder, and go playing live from a basement shelter in teeth, along with 94 violinists from around the world. ah
