well, in the day it was germany reopening, its embassy in the ukrainian capital, keep the russian invasion of ukraine. it's still raging. so sending embassy staff back to work at the moment. it comes with risks and with a message, a message that ukraine has, every right to exist and to defend itself against russia. but germany also has a credibility problem for some in ukraine, lingering doubts that despite the war, all roads from berlin to keep lead to moscow. first, i'm begun in berlin. this is the day ah, what is on any fictions it when you feel it killed? fortunately here they could be of and read. you can be hit by arrest missile at any time, anywhere across the country. jacqueline, isn't it, and you owe it to these dickens that we not only commemorate them here, but that we hold the perpetrators to account. unfortunately,

putting and beyond me i, we have understood all too clearly that economic dependencies do not give us security. if the aggressor simply doesn't care about the wellbeing of his people, chancellor shortage to declare the beginning of a noodle policy with regard to russia. this had been a theme yeah. reducing our dependency on russian energy to 0 for ever. one song for him. also coming up, we will take you to the opening of the british parliament watching and listening as a future king delivers the queen's speech. ah, my lords and members of the house of commons, their majesty's government's priority is to grow and strength from the economy and help ease the cost of living for fans.

to our viewers watching on p b. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world, welcome. we begin the day with the damage diplomacy between ukraine and germany, and an attempt to repair it. today, germany followed the u. s. and the u. k. and took the very symbolic step of reopening, his embassy in the ukrainian capital key, a show of solidarity with ukraine. now in its 3rd month battling a russian invasion, germany's foreign minister reopened the embassy to day and also announced war weapons deliveries to you. grant of the issue of weapons deliveries. it remains delicate. ukraine has been sharp and its criticism of germany for an initial reluctance to supply heavy weapons and fort germany's economic ties to russia. now the rift really opened when german president frank walter stein meyer was in warsaw, poland, getting ready to depart on a visit to keith, ukrainian. president zalinski then sent word to shine meyer telling him not to come,

apparently due to his past. as the german foreign minister in which he championed closer ties with russia that said to day on the line of iraq began her visit in boucher the town near keith. that was the sight of widespread atrocities when it was under russian occupation. she said that germany will help bring the perpetrators of these atrocities to justice antony, the foreign minister, described why germany is cutting its dependence on russian oil and why it is indeed supply heavy weapons to keith. yeah, me. i thought we had understood all too clearly that economic dependencies do not give us security and he aggressors simply doesn't care about the well being at people. this had reality, therefore we are reducing our dependence on russian energy to 0 in id of noise on forever in baffling weapons deliveries mean that these terrible war cry,

which i thought to day so clearly with my own eyes. i cannot happen again in your country above all in the east finding in austin gibbon camp or in the morning. i am told by a correspondent, but he is bellinger. he is in keith. he was at that news conference earlier today. but he has, let me ask you what, what do you, would you say was the main message coming from the german of foreign minister today? was it that yes, ukraine you can trust germany? exactly. that's what she said. it was a message of support, a message or it was a trust building mission. of course. both sides have been talking a lot about each other. if there has been a lot of a disenchantment with germany here in ukraine with the has it with their hesitance of germany in heavy arms delivery, et cetera. but now that a more weapon deliveries are on track. of course, this visit is also sending the message that to these differences are behind

this and, and let's do both sides can rely on each other. germany is after all, one of the most important partners of ukraine in europe. yes. those are the fact that the message, but what about these lingering and doubts that germany of has it done and will not do enough to help you? great. well i think both sides have been able to overcome these are these doubts and the strong message was, were received here in, in kiev. and i would say that the she was received quite cordially, both about both sides were really trying to or were really showing that they are now working closely together. she's been received by the president and of course, by her counterpart, the foreign minister, very cordially and she's been here not alone. she has been here with the dutch foreign minister, which also sends an important message because

a lot of these arms deals. actually, they involve me a more than one country. that means, for example, that germany has the tanks, that is now delivering the gap at pan tanks. but germany does not have the ammunition or some of the how it is, were delivered by the dutch and the germans. are doing the training, et cetera, et cetera. so there is also always the aim to show that this is a european affair, not a german or, or any other european country alone, enmities, you know, you mentioned that the weapons weapons are needed because the war is still raging on, particularly in the east of the country, what do we, what's the latest today? what we know? no, it's a very, very heavy calm. there is heavy combat there. we've had some conflicting information today on what was happening there. the russians have said that they had broken through the ukrainian lines the ukrainians have denied this. so we don't

really know. we also know that the bombing of the steel factory as of steel is going on in marie post. so fighting is raging there and the heavy weapons are indeed needed there. that's what the ukranian side says, because otherwise it would be very difficult to counter attack a to, to attack the russian positions which, which have dug in deep in the all these years. all right, but he is willing here with the latest tonight from heave mathias, thank you. well i went to stave, stay in hebrew right now and i want to pull in like seam yellow. he is a political analyst and professor at the faculty of international relations. it keeps national aviation university professor. it's good to have you on the program . the ukranian government called today in historic turning point in its relations with germany. do you agree? yes, i can agree. it is really

a historic point and i hope in the future once i've already over past all misunderstandings which unfortunately took place during 1st months between our political elite. but frankly speaking, i was very glad to hear it from the minister of foreign affairs. you grant mr. grant and i believe he's to you such a person states, such things officially, no to do to some source is room us know, etc. so we can believe it and actually i believe also because they cancel out of all of sure. so yes, just recently stated that put in leaves and no chances but to you to ukraine had a weapons, meaning jo, any and to increase financial and mostly important for us at least

military support. so i suppose it was a breaking point and the statement prove it. yeah, you use a misunderstanding. i want to pick up the one what we've seen recently, you know, the president of ukraine, basically uninvited, a former german foreign minister who was planning to visit the country. he said, you know, please don't come that didn't sit well here in berlin. the german chancellor has yet to visit. keith, does that seem the message of reluctance in your opinion or should the german chancellor have been standing with the ukrainian president today? but you know, usually site shows, visits are prepared by them in the store, in the fans, and usually especially since such an important stay as germany before

and on the level of minister of foreign affairs, all things, all data agenda approved a written down. so i'm sure it all they can sell or is to, to come, and very soon, i suppose in the minister of foreign affairs will bring good news. by the way, miss landscape, president landscape didn't state official, at least, and that he didn't want to. or the president of germany. mr. stand my to come, you know, it was just written in the newspapers. so they were such a room, us, but officially there were no such statements and to buy typically mr. cancel, i was always welcome to give and president landscape is several times. ok. political analysts, maxime,

y'all joining us tonight from keith. we appreciate your time in your insights. tonight, thank you. you're welcome. we're more than most the name boucher has become synonymous with atrocities committed by russian forces in ukraine. about 3000 people live in boot, although the war is far from over the residents. they are trying to rebuild their lines while also mourning the ones that they have lost for the future reports. long lines at 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 cave. around 3000 residents have returned since russia withdrew 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 the priorities, restoring essential services. mclean, a scoring works for the city, coordinating the reconstruction, this ah trade center was ah, 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 which ah, 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 most supermarkets re destroyed yet residents optimistic. would an emp was the guy above is peaceful, we are getting back to normal with them so everything is getting better people

coming back. okay, so since this is right so, 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. boy was a me, oh my god, that was this was my living room the couple flat to keith but wants to move back to butcher as soon as possible. chima born louis a 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. they gather those jewelry. no one knows that i 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 home that

ah, my lord, pray be seated. my lords and members of the house of commons. it's the same procedure as every year at westminster minus one important monarch to day prince charles, filled in for his mother, queen elizabeth to open parliament by delivering what is known as the queen's speech. buckingham powers says that queen elizabeth asked charles to take replace, due to her mobility issues. and there was another 1st to day at his side was prince william watching a ceremony that he might one day after perform miss king as well. so

no queen to deliver the queen's speech, only a prince. this was history in the making, and it is considered by many to be the clear sign that the british monarchy is preparing for a transition. a gradual handle from the longest reigning monarch to the man who would be king eventually. and elizabeth has opened every session of parliament since assuming the throne in 1952, except when they mix 3 times. the other 2 when she was pregnant with her son's andrew and edward. here you see the queen in 1954, making her way to the british parliament in london under guard in a carry sh. ah . aright. my next guest is a reliable source for the happenings in the halls and passages of buckingham palace

. he was a former royal editor at the british newspaper, the son. he's also the author of prince harry, the inside story, a biography of the rebellious royal. now, a reluctant royal, i'm pleased to welcome to the de duncan lock up in dugan. it's going to have you on the program. you know, not just the, not just the british. i mean, a lot of people around the board were watching today and asking themselves, is this the signal that the transition at the throne in the monarchy is beginning? i think that's probably a logical conclusion for everybody to hear now, because frankly, we seeing the queen show determination to continue and know she had health at the end of last year and spent the night in the hospital was all sort of very harsh, harsh. but she's now had to pull out these events and make no mistake, this an event like this. this is one of the key functions of the head of state,

the queen's ro. it's her job, i'm cranky. she cannot keep pulling out all of much just the public will sympathize with her if she can't do the primary role of heather state. that unfortunately, it is time for us perhaps to say good bye to her rain and let prince charles take over his prince regents and let the bathroom be passed on. what does that mean? correct me if i'm wrong, but as i've always understood it, queen elizabeth has always been adequately against doing that. that she is the monarch. she is the sovereign until she dies. and her son has to wait until she dines to become king. is that changing? well actually, i mean that's what we've always been led to believe, but actually the reality of it is, is different from that going back in history. you have a situation where are the people might remember the hollywood film,

the madness of king george way back in the early 19th century. you had a king who lost his mind. his son became the prince rage and he was king in 09. and at that time when those those conventions were established, it was also if the money was in fact, if they were physically or mentally unable to do the job. and i'm not saying that the queen is in for, i'm not saying that it's all, but you see the use of the language. she has mobility issues is because of mobility . it looks now as though the assumption that the queen will rain until her death is now beginning to fall. and what does that mean for the jubilee coming up? but what happens if the, when the jubilee celebrations, take place and we learn the morning of the celebrations that she will be unable to attend any festivities? well, i mean that,

that's an interesting one in terms whether she can attempt to delay. i think if she cannot even attend this, we believe them clearly. it is time for her to accept the general product. she's 96 years old. there's not a pass in britain would begrudge a chance to put a face out and see what we're seeing is this sort of slight transition for prince charles to become king and all but man, if you like and i think everything sort of siding its place. okay, if she's not there to play or she will not be able to continue screen and my view, i think a lot of people except that she will probably be a pains to be at the jubilee, but as a say, they cannot continue this for too many months if she is physically unable to do her job is head of state. we do need another, a new head of state, and i'm sure the queen of all people will support that. let me ask you as an insider and someone who knows the whole royal story could,

can you imagine that the queen would use the the, the jubilee, the anniversary, and the as an opportunity to pass on the crown to herself? well, it would sound like an obvious potential situation, but i don't think i think if we look at what we've seen from the pallets, what we've heard from the quaint she has clearly been trying to reluctantly ignore this. i mean, she po, got 26 in october that the big climate summit and gauze guy. she made a speech, but it was recorded live. it was recorded, sorry, pre recorded i even the way for all of her attendance person. she has resisted this . she has full this for the british public and do they do not want her to just to, to sort of full pause in front of us. if she cannot do the job, she physically isn't able to do it. then my goodness may, i think most people would believe that she of all people is entitled to that

retirement last the age of 9. 6. yeah. retirement of interesting choice of words there. we'll see if she, if she does decide to pass the crown on duncan lock in for the oil editor. britton's the sun newspaper duncan, thank you. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. all right, we want to go back to our top story ukraine or western military analysts say that the russian invasion has made little progress in recent days. though the front lines we understand shifting slightly of the 2 sides trade patches of territory in many places in the path of the advancing and retreating army are like ghost towns empty residence. but some people are staying behind hoping for peace as dw mathias earlier discovered in a town near nichol life. a village you raised rebushka is

right on the front line. virtually no house remains and damaged the village. ones are 2000 inhabitants. now, only a handful are left. you are lucian co. is one of them. yes, in the us vicky here it's come now. we are resting a little bit a few days ago. it was terrible because the bombs were falling, shooting fire, things falling dan level above fell down in my court yard 12 meters from my bedroom . there was a light bang and fire the i'm surprised my has didn't been done. that's how it goes here. sucks. you know, what she calls calm means just that fighting is less intense. the village was overrun by the russians and then re taken by the ukrainian. yeah, no, i don't judge the soldiers, neither the russians nor the ukrainians. it's not their fault. they're forced to do this. she lives here with her son was mentally ill. she

says she has not left because she fears not being able to take care of them elsewhere. when the shelling starts, they hide inside the home. do you? this is our little corner. i'm afraid of basements. i was told there are basements where i can go. luxury will fit here in the street. a woman was buried while she was in her basement. i'm not going there. need to have it happen. when shelling stop, this is where we sit together. meanwhile, she tries to make the best of the situations that don't go through. that's where the bomb dropped. there was a big crater. i filled it with us and planted potatoes. the

lunar was worn during world war 2. no, she spent the night in the shallow house is take you to be a hit. but unlike others, it's still standing and she is maintaining her spirit. i am holding on chrome. our life was always modern mind, but it wasn't bad. what did i pray to god that all this is over soon? i lena survived world war 2 as a toddler. now it's a. she plans survive this war as well. finally tonight, he is seen as a hero across ukraine, a living symbol of resistance against the russian invasion. and i'm not talking about a soldier or a fighter pilot, but a bomb sniffing dog named patron. and a ceremony in ki, president of old miss zalinski, awarded, painted a metal for his contribution to the war effort to they look at that. the tiny jack russell terrier has sniffed out more than $200.00 russian mines and explosives in

the northeastern city of hen. since the conflict began, that's a lot of saved lives. they are possibly his wife's saving work. it has also earned the courageous canine a loyal following on social media. and we would say also he's earned a nice poem to chew on something good to report the day is almost done. the conversation continues a longer find us on twitter, either the w news. you can follow me on twitter and bring gov tv and remember whatever happens between now and then, tomorrow is another day we'll see that ah,
