11:05 am
in the way because they're trained the system is not compatible between the ukraine and some of these european kind of show there are, this also creates some hold of so it's, it's a lot less than actually could be exported to the points. all right, next sunday, reporting from keith, thanks and much to some of the developments now in the war in ukraine. the red cross, as it has begun, registering hundreds of prisoners of war who surrendered at the ukrainian portion of mario pull that comes as fears grow that russia could be organizing, show trials for the soldiers accusing them of war crimes. some russian will make us have called for the prisoners to be executed. a russian soldier being tried for war crimes in ukraine as pleaded guilty to killing an unarmed civilian. for 1st such case, since the invasion, the prosecutor says it sends a clear message that those who commit or crimes will not escape accountability. what was the q? the german chancellor left,

11:07 am
a piece because the ukrainians won't acceptors. we won't accept in the shirts of g o i s d w as chief political editor, mikayla christina about the key takeaways from the german chancellor speech. well certainly was that a firm line that he's taking and towards naming really what is going on. there were a country that was attacked aggressively, is defending itself. and what was also also interesting is that he said that russia must not win, and that ukraine must withstand now his own foreign minister from the green party already says that ukraine must win. that is something we have not heard from one of shawls, and i get his suspicion that he might be thinking that he might have to sit down across the table with 30 mill, put in to find exactly that piece. once there is a realization on the russian side and that in russia will not be able to dictate the terms of this, a europe,
