a spate of deadly attacks that have shaken israel. the government is calling for caution. any charity concert raises millions for ukraine. a star studded line up performed in front of thousands in england. but ultimately it was the words and music of ukrainian refugees that took center stage. ah hello, i'm clare richardson. thank you so much for joining us. as the outlines of a potential deals who 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 sharon, ne, 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. being that 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 trusting 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 signal we hear from the talks are positive. i'll it. but the signals can't silence the explosions from russian sheleesha seasonal. of course, we see all of the risks and of course life we don't see grounds 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 he is a re deployment and not a withdrawal. i in the world should be prepared for a major offensive against other areas of ukraine. offensive 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 need a membership as peace talks, gain momentum. there is no also another possibility on the horizon. a high level meeting between both presidents so i do people in ukraine make of rushes announcement that it will cut back its military activity in parts of the country, including keith. earlier we got an update from dw correspondent nick connelly reporting for us from the capital people here and 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 ukrainian antiaircraft systems knocking things out of the sky, but there is also artillery fire nightly daily in the suburbs of care of rules, i had reports of russian forces somewhere 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. tumble today. no duplicative. that sounds good, but you'll actually, i don't believe it on the other. no. yes or no. 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 who really? sure. yeah, the must have seen the mars. i don't think we can trust thresher. see you her her. 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 there be no more stubbornness gordon? than you now, i don't trust their words or yon they've 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. homeless 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 ukraine's, was at least now surrounded by ukrainian forces in east of the country. closer with

the land border with russia, there are some towns retaken by ukraine just as i'm speaking to now i can hear some pretty loud bangs in the distance spots for your to re fire. so this is all still very real, but a sense that the ukranian 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 economy reporting for us there. shortly after russia invaded ukraine, german chancellor, olaf schultz announced a historic increase in military spending and included a one time some of 100000000000 euros to swiftly upgrade the armed forces. andy pledge to spend at least 2 per cent of germany's economic output on defense. every year. so what exactly is germany planning to buy with these billions? let's take a closer look. these us build aircraft up top of the boon does 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 free to fighter jets aging fast. an upgrade is long overdue. the fmla message is us more the f 35 is the most modern combat aircraft in the world maga and many of our partners, especially here in europe, have also chosen it says i'm middles and partner together with our partners in the alliance will strengthen our ability to secure nato air space to credibly to ter, lockwood, and also if need be, defend ourselves. was our business been as i most of the for timing. 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 critic 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 assaults, alabama. so prepare ourselves for the fact that we have a neighbor who is currently prepared to use force to assert his interests, cuz it's and that's why we have to make herself strong together. so that that does not happen just us on tablet. also needed new heavy lift transport helicopters to replace the old sikowski. c h 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 yes. let's turn now to israel where a gun man on a motorcycle has killed 5 people in the ultra orthodox city of benet, brock, just east of television is the 3rd incident of its kind in israel within a week. both u. s. secretary of state antony blank and, and he, when chief antonio, go to hash, have condemned it as a terrorist attack. my warning with the following report contains disturbing footage. this video shows the alleged gunman on his shooting spree. witnesses said that the assailant began shooting at apartment balconies and then a people on the street and at a car. he was then subsequently killed by police. the deadly assault follows to other attacks in the country in recent days. on sunday,

2 police officers were killed in ha, dara y last week 4 people died in a bombing in the city of beersheba. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility for both attacks. wow, i mean, i don't know how we ever going to end this problem. how can we leave our homes every day in a different place every day? a lithia, this is my home is really officials had warned about a possible search 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. oh, who is the citizens of israel? these are difficulties in every few years that the state of israel faces the wave of terrorism. shortly after a period of quiet this violent outburst from those who are trying to destroy us, call those who want to harm us at all costs you whose hatred of the juice of the state of israel drives the mat. elisha,

those who are willing to die as long as we do not live in peace. there has been no immediate claim of responsibility for this most recent attack yet. but israel remains on high alert. let's change gears now and a charity concert for ukraine has raised them 14 and a half 1000000 euros among the music stars who took to the stage in birmingham, where ed sharon and camilla cabrio. ah, one high point of the concert was ukrainian and via bunder info playing life may basement shelter in along with 94 violinist from around the world. ah . and also performing at that car, at that concert was the ukrainian singer tamala, the performer, shot of fame across europe in 2016 when she,
