2:10 pm
well, the german government has said its giving more than 1000000000 euros and military aid to ukraine. funds are part of a 2000000000 increase in defense spending announced on friday. the majority of those funds will go to the european piece facility as an organization which purchases weapons for ukraine. the move follows heavy criticism of german chancellor, olaf shorts for his hasn't hesitancy at the beginning of the war to send heavy weapons still around 40 percent of germans are against sending offensive weapons to ukraine. and protests being held across germany today reflect some of that sentiment. let's bring in detail you political correspondent, benjamin alvarez gruber, who has at one of germany so called easter marches for peace in berlin. now we can see those people marching behind you. how has chancellor olive short decision gone over with the crowd? they're not very well for these people that you can see here. behind me,
2:11 pm
they are criticizing this. you turn by the german government to send weapons to supply a ukraine. also with financial aid, would you just mentioned the reason fledged by finance minister chrissy linda to support a ukraine there. calling for the escalation, the calling for pieces of pacifism. a pretty old movement in the sixty's in the eighty's here in germany was quite strong. during the cold war, and now of course, more people are also coming to this protest due to what we're seeing due to russia's invasion and ukraine. as you said, the easter march, is this a specific tradition that's been going on since the sixty's and germany. and it's a pacifist movement, had its roots in them, a post world war, 2 a and t, militarization and germany. so what is happening now in germany that you have the ukraine war and the movement is somehow split over what to do about it.
2:12 pm
there has been criticism on these protests is as they are not naming the aggressor, not naming russia in berlin today. there's also another protest account, a protest, no tentative, a piece protests with a syrian and also with ukranian activists who are saying that is also possible to be a, to ask for peace, but still help ukraine. something that those people here don't see their way their attack in nato, their attack the you ask what they've seen over the past weeks and months. and it's not just the a position. it's also the government, government officials who have sat that these protested they should be directed to vladimir putin. it was in the vice chancellor economy minister. well, that habit, who said that pacifism is a distant dream, and that this protest should be also targeted into the rection of putin. a world that i have not heard a covering this protest for the past 2 hours already. now some germans, however,
2:13 pm
not those behind you, but some germans want the government to do even more for ukraine in terms of sending aid and sending weapons and confronting russia basically. so what are they calling for specifically? they're 2 things. they are demanding also that we've seen and other protests on one side where the embargo, when it comes to oil, when it comes to gas from rush on the other side, there is a delivery of weapons and not any weapons, but heavy weapons. it was even foreign minister babcock, who mention did that ukraine should get a happy weapons. she sent that in luxembourg during a meeting of e. u foreign ministers. by saying that germany should pledge into more, but all of shawls has repeatedly said that germany is helping ukraine has not pledge to this have your weapon. so helping ukraine with, for example, tangs with the armored vehicles with a plane. so there are a lot, oh, well, looking and appraising what germany is doing with this additional financial help,
2:14 pm
but said the germany should do far more than just standing on the sidelines of this conflict. so germany quite divided on how to approach the war and ukraine. there did the political correspondent, benjamin, other us gruber and berlin for us. thank you. now here's a round up of some of the other news making headlines around the world. north korean leader kim jong own has attended a public parade to mark the 100 and 10th anniversary of the birth of his grandfather, kim il sung. the annual celebration is called the day of the sun and is north korea's biggest annual public holiday kimball song who died in 1994 founded the authoritarian regime. demonstrators in the u. s. state of michigan took to the streets on friday to protest against the police killing of an unarmed black man. patrick loyola, 26 year old congolese refugee was killed during a trip, a routine traffic stop effort. he struggled with an officer over a stun gun and you're up to date next up,
