[000:00:00;00] ah, ah ah, this is news live from berlin, damage control, germany's efforts to repair relations with key ramp up with a visit by the foreign minister on a lena bear bock is in ukraine, promising more economic and military supports and to help you create, bring russian war criminals to justice also coming up victory in the philippines for the man who wants to be judged by his actions and not his ancestors. but not marcos junior,

the son of the late dictator is set to become the philippines next president. after a landslide, where class, the european union pledges a $1000000000.00 to help poverty stricken syrians living with the effects of rising food prices because of the war in ukraine. and standing in for the monarch, the prince of wales assumes the role of the queen on doctor's orders. ah, hello everyone on layla. all right, thank you so much for joining us. the diplomatic rift between germany and ukraine appears to be here with a visit today by germany's foreign minister on alina bare bach is the 1st cabinet minister to travel to ukraine, says russia invaded in february, the ukrainian government had criticized germany for its initial reluctance to

supply heavy weapons and for its e nom, it ties to russia, but berlin is now sending tanks and artillery, and has dropped its opposition to an e. lead phase out of russian energy. while at a press conference earlier bear, bach described why germany is supplying heavy weapons. and why it is cutting its dependence on russian oil the atom me, i fluently crushed on. we have understood shuffling all too clearly that economic dependencies do not give us security. if the aggressor doesn't care about the well being of his people's, and this is why we are reducing our dependence on russian energy to 0 consistently and forever. and a short time ago i spoke with the w, corresponded funny for shar in key, and asked her what she thought bare box message was during the visit. basically,

the germany stands by ukraine are that they do express is solidarity. not just by going to put your that was one of the 1st a visit, basically during this short trip. i do not know exactly how long it's gonna take. a lot of things are secret revolving on this trip, but the fact that you pay to respect to butcher 1st and now talking about the very important element that people need to be held accountable. who committed those crimes that according to human rights organizations, but also a lot of western allies you of ukraine and bound why equal to war crimes these old boots that ukrainians really want to hear? these are the things that people, they actually anticipating already to hear from germany. but nobody so far from the german government came to visit except now the foreign minister there was a lot of diplomatic grow in between a berlin and kia for the past few weeks. so now having this press conference there in between our, the gym and firmness, dental, ukrainian counterpart called equilibrium is really, as ukraine already says,

historical turning point, given the fact that now it's quite clear that germany really wants to be not just talking about solidarity, but really actively supporting this country and not just with a few 1000 how much as they were planning to do prior to the beginning of this war . but with having with heavy weaponry. now in practical terms, of course some of that and re, is something that ukrainian so we just need to be taught how to actually applies as we have heard there from a foreign minister burbock. apparently, training training on the whole bits are, are about to begin in germany. but also this is actually what people here and ukraine we're looking forward to here. hearing is that germany says we are going to support germany is going to support ukraine when it comes to your membership. however, at the same time they of course want to keep and all of that realistic saying that this is not going to happen overnight is not going to be a shortcut when come see you memberships have and the have to remember people took

to the streets and of 2013 here and key of people who are dying because of they are longing towards the vast towards the european union. in fact, a clear about the foreign minister of, of ukraine said this is an issue of life and death the u membership. but once again, here are germany really wants to keep those hopes, quite realistic that this is something that's not going to happen overnight. having said that, were there any remaining points of tensions? it seems for now, especially now that presidents lensky and foreign minister babies have met as well . it seems like everything is in a restart mood. at this point, you have to know there was a lot of discussion of reset men almost diplomatically as a president charged i'mma. germany's presidential time i was an invited by you by the ukranian officials here over the 1st of all, over some allegations there that his connections are quite close with russia. given

his form of functions before he became president a in germany. but he was foreign minister among the, among the cabinet of the form a chancellor medical. but it seems like all of this has been sorted and it seems as i say, because we have to see better practical and things are going to follow here to these new commitments. but it seems as if germany is really stepping up and some people really wonder whether it had to do maybe a little bit with that push that came a week ago from the opposition leader maps. who was here actually just a week ago, basically saying that the german government needs to step up. so it is quite likely that after the 4 minutes to being here now, maybe german chancellor shoals and even president time maya may follow and acts to on the line these commitments of partnership with ukraine. and funny, can you give us a quick update of what's happening in east and ukraine?

the situation that it's really difficult, you established a full picture, but one thing is certain that fighting rage is on. however, it's not just an advancement that's been made over the past couple of weeks since of the russian forces have be drawn from key of it's not just the russian forces we have made some advanced met, advancements, the southern end of the eastern part of ukraine also we hearing that actually ukrainian forces stepping up, trying to actually have a counter offensive underway in the north east and politics ukraine our own had keep trying to actually make sure that the russian forces redraw from these villages. not basically not trying to avoid that. they take hod keith, which was really the risk over the past weeks. it seems like that the ukraine and forces are succeeding in trying to a keep the rushing forces away from hockey. but that situation and a picture all over remains quite blurry. in fact, saw the observer say that it seems like this is going to be a very prolonged war,

and a stand off seems to be quite likely in many parts of your brain. by for sure, reporting from the ukrainian capital keeps. thank you very much for oh, more than most the named boucher has become synonymous with atrocities committed by russian forces in ukraine. although the threat is far from over, people are now gradually returning to the small town. the 3000 residents are unable to forget the lives that have been lost. but it's funny for sure reports they're trying to rebuild. among the rooms. long lines of this fuel station in butcher drivers are only allowed to buy 10 liters each in the and it's not enough to fill up your car even to get to keep around. $3000.00 residents have returned since rush shall be true from here and the front line shifted. but the impact of the war is everywhere. here in boucher people have to share this one gasoline station and this

is one of many problems they face as they struggle to restart their lives. even the basics, like water and electricity are still lacking their priorities, restoring essential services. mclean, a scoring works for the city, coordinating the reconstruction, this ah, trade center was, are completely robbed at the beginning. she wants people to come back and help rebuild what remains after the russian occupation. if russians will not do it. second attempt. oh, at a cave butcher. ah, though, the com comfortable place leaving us, it was but for now the city depends on private donations like this to feed people as mo supermarkets re destroyed yet residents optimistic wouldn't and there was

that guy above is peaceful. we are getting back to normal with them, so everything is getting better. people are coming back today senior this year. but not everyone who wants to return has anywhere to live. nearly 3 quarters of all homes here have been damaged or destroyed. helene and nicholas house burned to the ground in a rocket attack. roy was in me. oh my god, that will at least was my living room. the couple flat to keith but wants to move back to butcher as soon as possible. jim, a boy that butcher has been liberated, it's my home. i don't want to be anywhere else. i'm staying here a little in the ruins. they find 2 jars of pickles that russian troops left untouched. there probably at least we still have this to 8, life goes on, the gap are, those are lower. no one those that are safe enough to return in the long term. but those brave enough to come back are sending

a clear message to russia. they will not give up on their homeland when its own now, but the other stories in the headlines right now. south korea's new president has called on north korea to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for massive economic aid. conservative unit shook your made the offer at his swearing in. during his campaign, the former chief prosecutor pledged to take a more hard line approach towards the north. at least 43 people have been killed in clashes between rival gangs in a jail in ecuador. relatives have gathered to wait for news of their loved ones and police have taken control of the site in the city of santo domingo. they also ceased firearms, explosives, and other weapons. more than $100.00 inmates are reported to be on the run. the eel has announced that it will contribute one and a half 1000000000 euros in 8 to syrian refugees. leaves foreign policy chief

warrant that rushes invasion of ukraine is having drastic effects on many poverty stricken syrians. the war is contributing to the global rise and food prices worsening. the plight of millions of syrians donors are being called upon to dig deep to help this war torn country, which has been plagued by conflict for over a decade. and really i spoke with the program, the, the united nations high commissioner for refugees and asked him about how he can focus donors, attention on display syrians in the midst of the russian invasion of ukraine. you raise a very serious issue. and in a way, i'm speaking to you from brussels, i'm participating in this important conference is good that the european union has decided this year again, can be in the conference and to call the attention of the donors on the need of all these millions of people you know, i'm and it's, it's

a complete coincidence. but today the number of syrian refugees registered in the middle east is 5700000. this happens to be today. exactly the same number as the ukranian refugees that have left their country, 5700000. and in a way, it gives a sense of the magnitude of the challenges that we're facing. millions of people in different parts of the world. a lot of attention on ukraine that of course detracts from other crises. and there's not just syria, i'm just back from africa. there's many crises there and in other parts of the world. unfortunately, we need my job. the job people like me in the united nations in the 8 community, is to keep the world's attention focused on all these crises. because all these people that are affected need help. i need support. absolutely, and we're going to talk in just a moment about the crisis in ukraine,

but i'd like to get your take on. some countries have resist taking in the syrian refugees. others have gone above and beyond. one of them being, of course, a turkey which is home to nearly $4000000.00 syrian refugees, but it's now facing a public backlash. what do you make of those developments that are taking place right now in turkey where it is very worried, but this was a very strong theme in today's comfort. the, the fatigue that country surrounding syria are experiencing because they have hosted millions of syrian refugees for so long and you know, some of them, lebanon, for example, are facing catastrophic challenges of their own. many lebanese citizens are now as poor and as impacted by, by this crisis as the refugees themselves. so inevitably,

this big and how do you counter that's what you would say in 2 ways. one is by stepping up to support that international community provides 2 countries like turkey, like lebanon, like george, but like iraq, like egypt, other countries in the region, posting millions of refugees. and also by trying to find solutions for this long standing refugee situation. now, as you know, there are the mass flight from ukraine. it resonates deeply with the syrians. you see there lived experience, mirrored in some ways. do you think ukraine ukraine's european neighbors rather are doing a good enough job of looking after people fleeing conflict? i think they're doing a very good job and the declaration of the temporary protection status for refugees from ukraine that was decided by the european union . very early on,

just after the start of the russian invasion at the beginning of this big exit, this was really a very positive measure. it allowed people to disperse around europe to join families and communities in those countries to be supported by them. it allows people to have access to services even to jobs if they want to work. so it was very forward looking decision, and the yesterday was europe day. and i tweeted that this. i hope that this exemplary response of europe to this ukrainian refugee price is, can be in all the same solidarity, the same vision can be applied also to response to crises in other parts of the world. in conclusion, sir, what do you know about the situation of refugees who we understand have been forcibly displaced to russia and how they're being treated right now?

we have very little access to ukrainian refugees in russia. and we had the same very limited access, even before the 24th of february. no. following the 2014 conflict in don bass in easton ukraine. there was already a number of ukrainians that went to russia, but our axis is extremely limited. we. we have heard of reports for civil displacement of deportation, but we have asked the ukrainian government to give us lists and names so that we can raise this issues with the russian authorities. us united nations high commissioner for refugees. physical candy sir, thank you for your time. thank you very much for inviting the son of former philippines dictator for not marcos is set to become the country's next leader. for not marco's junior is poised to win the presidential election with more

than twice as many votes. as, as me, rival, is expected. victory sparked protests in the capital manila, but demonstrators alleging voting irregularities. the candidate, popularly known as bon bon, has released a statement in which he asks people to quote, judge me not by my ancestors, but by my actions. incidentally his running mate, sarah, do tell they got to be out. the daughter of the controversial, outgoing president is likely to become vice president critics. regarding michael's death, a victory as a blow to democracy and civil rights. ah, late on monday, the name of the presidential election winner was clear. shouts rang out for a b, b. m. the nickname for ferdinand bung bung. marcus junior. as news of the election results spread,

his supporters took to the streets to celebrate. 7 ah, the candidates himself reached out to his supporters. i want to thank you for all you have done for us. there are thousands of you out there. volunteers, parallel groups. political leaders that have cashed their lot with us because of their belief in our message of unity because of their belief in the candidates his when cement his families returned to power in the philippines. following the revolution that toppled his late father in 1986. the elder ferdinand marcos ruled the philippines as a dictator for 2 decades, and his tenure was infamous for its corruption and brutality. for many, it was unthinkable that the marco's clan would ever run for the highest office

again. after returning from exile the marcus's return to public life in the philippines with several family members taking on political positions, many of bong bongs younger supporters don't connect him to his father's crimes. oh, boy, i'm in a bubble on thought. like we believed that b, b. m is starkly different from his father, the bbm silva, ferdinand bung bung mar. chris ran his election campaign on the promise of unity, but has failed to explain his policy plans in detail. analysts war and that his administration will most likely mean more strong men postering and less democratic freedoms and transparency. at least 7 people have been killed in protest against the sri lankan governments handling of the economic crisis. prime minister men that roger poxy announced his resignation on monday. but his brother, president got a bay yo rodge epoxy is refusing to stab down

a curfew has been announced and the military given powers to detain people without warrants. but protests continue unabated. oh, after a day, a violent flashes that killed several people and enjoyed hundreds and uneasy gum has returned to the streets of columbia. the island nation is undergo few till redness day. the military and police now have emergency pause to d, dean beeper, and search homes. without warden for more than a month now demonstrate does have demanded the designations of the dodge of bucks abroad. those at the helm of government for the mismanagement of the economic crisis i met

with. but on monday, weeks of peaceful protests give be to violence. when government support dose adapt activists again, just aud leto, melinda dodge bucks a step down as prime minister. his dad's residence in columbus was stormed, dodge parkside, was evacuated by the military and moved to a thief location. oh, some protesters and opposition leaders. he'll continue to defy the go few more robbery. b only condemned the brutal attack padded out by good darby and my head that i just saw on the protesters that protest across the country to the such as this one. 0 testers. i'm now demanding that president good, dobbin dodge, apart of follow his brother,

lead and resign. something the presidents refused. setting the stage for the standoff to continue. britons, queen elizabeth has mister ceremonial opening of the u. k. parliament for the 1st time in nearly 60 years. due to mobility issues. instead she handed over the duty to her air, prince charles air, who had delivered her traditional speech laying out the government's policies as the most high profile duty that the 96 year old monarch has missed in recent months . and i asked our london correspond berrigan mars how prince charles did stepping in to do the queen's speech. i think he did very well. he had a long apprenticeship really on. it's very significant. i think for, for the monarchy, very symbolic that the queen has missed this really most important constitutional

day. and that she is basically handing it over to her son and also her grandson. he was present in the chamber today as well. so it's a sign definitely of a transition. and if you look at prince charles, you really knew what he had to do. i don't think he got any and he for drawing at least i couldn't see any of that. i might be, you know, my interpretation that, that his tone of voice i think, was slightly skeptical. he didn't sound extremely enthusiastic, but that might come in away with the fact that he had to read out what somebody else basically wrote for him. so he's not obviously reading his own speech, but it's, he's reading it for the government and that might just be a sign i, you know, he has to be basically above politics and has to read out with other what are this right for him. now the reason for the queen's absence is essentially for health

reasons. her platinum jubilee is coming up. what do we know about the state of her health? well we know that she really hasn't been seen much in public at all. so she, she hasn't really had any, any baker parents. we had a memorial service for, for prince phillip. this is where it was, she was in a way she was seen. but other than that, she's have really kept a very low profile. and we've had numerous talks about about health now. she has mobility issues. she also has had covey and really, since then she, she really hasn't appeared in the public much so. so it is really a sign that, you know, prince charles he's, he's has been for, for a long time, i had had a big role in royal duties. he has been taking over slowly. but, you know, for a day like this, it really normally where she very publicly is present in,

you know, in british life she, she has not. and this is definitely probably a sign that slowly prince charles will be taking over more and more of the road. you teeth did have your correspond berrigan mass reporting from london. thank you. and a recap of our top story right now. german foreign minister on a lena bear bock has become the highest ranking member of the german government of visit ukraine since the russian invasion. her trip follows a diplomatic dispute between berlin and keith. jeremy has now agreed to send ukraine heavy weapons and bag. can you phase out of russian oil? you're watching a d w near us before i let you go. this iconic andy warhol, prince of marilyn monroe, has become the most expensive 20th century artwork sold at auction. that have been at one not acceptable and for the wall is selling here to use the silk screen
