thousands of demonstrators turned out across germany for traditional east a peace marches which state back to the cold war. the activists were calling for an end to the war ukraine. but there's growing support for weapons deliveries to keep . germany has finally decided to send ukraine, a 1000000000 euros to buy off the funds, a part of a substantial increase in german defense spending. these tanks have been the focus of germany's political discourse all week. should germany sell heavy weapons to ukraine or not? the federal government instead decided to pay over a 1000000000 euros to ukraine directly under the rather bureaucratic sounding heading of strengthening funds. does the door did you will cut this, let's you, crane shoes, which wetlands and materials are needed? well, we supply the means for them to purchase on the free market. it, should we not be able to deliver? yes, that's the appropriate step facility is that the defense committee,

chair and the green parties, anton hopefully later made a surprise visit to ukraine. both are critical of chancellor all of shelters. course this is near for sure. it's the 1st step, but no 7 attended for the direct delivery of heavy arms is and it's no substitute for cutting up hooton's cash flow flows. we need an energy embargo, an oil embargo must stay on the agenda. the opposition christian democrats are also demanding the direct delivery of heavy arms, calling up the strengthening funds as window dressing ish needs to vic via it would be quickest for germany to deliver weapons to day. instead of giving ukraine money to then apply for weapons export from germany, that then needs to be approved. even truth, chancellor sholtes doesn't want it to happen. this is just another prevention attempt. so for in just 4 months after being sworn in, chancellor schultz is under severe pressure. but some starch allies still have his

back there about a 30 inch. i think one of all of shelters strings as this is circumspection. he doesn't put p r considerations 1st, as many others might be prone to do. he remains very reserved and calm. it says it's all a kind one person. but as the stakes in ukraine rise, sholtes needs to demonstrate that his leadership will be strong enough to meet the challenges ahead. russia has warned the united states and nato allies, they could face unpredictable consequences if they continue to send weapons to ukraine. because south dressel is a russia analyst and military expert, he explains what this message could mean. it's usually the language that point towards a nuclear war, but that is certainly a bluster. moscow itself has supported reform groups, including those who find us the taliban to be remembered about also father iran hosta in syria,

and they delivered a lot to barring middle eastern parties, vietnam, north korea, whatever. se, sending alms is neither ego or something unusual and united states already made it clear that they will continue to pursue this part. however, especially in europe, of course, there's a news public opinion looking at russia and a lot of people just don't know the details behind what is allowed in on conflict. and for them such wording of course means no city and they start back down to stop question 8, which is exactly what these kind of knows. trying to achieve. he is a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. thousands of supporters of pakistan's, former prime minister in ron con, rallied against his removal from office. he was ousted by a no confidence vote in parliament. last week,
