or weapons to push back russia's invasion to day. it's getting much of what it's asked for, with the united states and germany promising some of the most advanced weapons available. keith is hoping that will help shift momentum in its favor. as russia makes grinding progress in east ukraine, but moscow warns it's pouring fuel on the fire. i'm clear, richardson and you are watching the day. ah, i suppose, you know, in the east it is difficult for us. president biden announced a significant new security systems back to you because we locked the right amount of weapons to arm ukraine with additional capabilities and advanced weaponry will also deliver mole. witnessed precisely what they need to defend himself against the ongoing regression as what the most modern air defense system that germany currently possesses. a direct provocation aimed at drawing the west into combat.

also on the j, the celebrity trial, over domestic abuse, anti defamation in amber heard versus johnny depp. the jury reaches its verdict. do you find that mr. dev has proven all the elements of defamation? answer yes. ah. to our viewers from around the world. thank you. so much for joining us. the united states has promised to send you crane a small number of high tech, medium range rocket systems. they're the sort of weapons that ukraine has long been asking for to push back rushes advances in the eastern don bass region. and today's announcement comes at just a day after president joe biden said the us would not supply keith with any rocket launchers they could strike into russian territory. ukraine has given assurances that it won't use them to attack russia, but those are insurances that russia isn't buying. moscow accuses washington of

quote, pouring fuel on the fire. these at the advanced rocket systems, the u. s. will be sending to ukraine long requested by president for letting me zalinski keith hopes these type of weaponry will give it the upper hand. these medium range missiles could strike into russian territory, but ukraine has grades not to use them to do so. it's russia that is attacking ukraine, not the other way around the ukrainians have given us assurances that they will not use these systems against targets on russian territory. ah, there is a strong trust bond between ukraine in the united states, as well as with our allies and partners. but russia's foreign minister warned the deliveries could draw a 3rd country into the wall. but it is the condition of the switches to such risks . of course exist to what the key of regime is demanding from its western suppliers in such a categorical manner as we went 1st,

it crosses all boundaries of decency and diplomatic communication. i'm q preacher, a diploma through scrub junior. our 3rd and 2nd. it's a direct provocation that aim to getting the west involved in combat. liam, they used to ukraine's army chief, has said that these rocket systems provided by the u. s. will be crucial encountering russian attacks in the long battle over ukraine's eastern territory. and frank led, which is a military analyst based in the u. k. he told us more about the u. s. rocket systems now promised to ukraine and what impact they'll have on the russian offensive. the tactics of the russians are based around blasting that way through to local tactical success rather than any particular skills or aptitude. and that's because the russians go very major on our taylor and always have back decades after about a 100 years. so in the eighty's,

nato developed these multi large rocket systems, specifically to challenge this problem of russian artillery. and what was what we see now announced the highmark system from the u. s. is the latest iteration of that. and it's specifically designed to reach behind the lines and attack russian equivalence and their supply lines. so it's taking the battle more deeply into russian lines. so it's very good news for the ukrainians. the american gift. very bad news for russian guns. also it will act to offset the lack of air power on korean side since after the so called interdiction role, which is cutting off supplies and attacking that support is caught up by aircraft. and of course, the credit is a pretty short with surprisingly got anything. actually. i would say one thing though, we're not going to see these on the front lines or, or deploy the toilet battle for many weeks. training needs to be done integration

and so forth. but it's good, you see credits. and today germany also answered james, please to step up heavy weapons supplies with chancellor off shorts announcing the delivery of modern air defense systems. his address to parliament came 3 months after he described the war in ukraine as a turning point in german, foreign and security policy. jolts denounced what he called russia imperialist on slot, and promised to continue supporting ukraine as long as necessary. nicole nevada then be applied to the in the coming weeks we will be delivering further weapons. the government has decided to deliver the iris t system. for example, the most modern air defense system germany has. this will enable the ukrainian government to defend entire cities from russian missile attacks. and furthermore, we will be delivering state of the art radar systems spec and locate enemy houses, motors and artillery of this is a decision was made,

which will ensure the safety of your crime with the most modern of weapons sounds. and we are being very precise and doing what we can i am, this is your and i now like to welcome zoom on, push it a professor of international security at the temple and university in germany. a welcome. thank you so much for taking the time today. i can you tell us 1st, how significant germany's pledges to day to send air defense systems and radar trackers are it's quite significant indeed. first of all, for the reason that the ukrainians are not going to be able to just hold the lines and defend themselves, but it actually gives them the momentum and the opportunity to push russian troops back into russian territory with these heavy weaponry and missiles. the 2nd aspect, this is really significant is the breaking the russian air power. russia really

ruling the skies although ukraine and that has created massive problems, not just for ukrainian troops, but also for the ukrainians as civilian people. there are, of course, concerns are in washington and elsewhere about the danger of escalation. if ukraine strikes deep inside russia using these weapons, we heard russian foreign minister law from warning weapons deliveries, raise the risk of other 3rd countries in dragged into this conflict. is that something that germany should be worried about? well, russia is a nuclear power, and so everyone should be worried about of any kind of russian provocation or escalation in that regard. however, um, so a cautious approach is, is very recommendable. however, we should not be afraid in german policymakers should certainly not be afraid. it is very important in upholding the european, the security order and security architecture to help you crane defend itself. and to show a stop sign to russian aggression in this particular situation. and yet germany has

been criticized over delays and providing support to ukraine and for a perceived lack of commitment. in your view, has that criticism been justified? i'm not sure if it's a lack of commitment. it's really a part of the political process in some something of a, of a sort of dna in the hand. thurman, foreign policy that these are processes tend to be slow and cautious. the problem is, it's good. the one thing is, it's good that germany is delivering. finally, delivering these, these heavy weaponry. the problem is the bad side is that these are coming way too late now to make a difference in the current or russian offensive. most of these heavy weaponry will not arrive before july or late summer. and so the problem is that russia might create facts on the ground by then and german foreign minister and elaine of bare bach to day side of that. russia has fundamentally changed its approach of bedding

on outlasting western forces in dragging out a brutal conflict. left wasn't it? and then i want to come back to you. well, if there's any noise strategy, if this is a new strategy, 1st the missiles then the rural plains with artillery. and then when everything is flattened, the tanks rolling and we'll have to be honest with ourselves. this is a new wave of destruction. and that means this is also a strategy of d. population meant to eradicate civilization in dumbass. own him, tomba says he, one question how, what committed do you think germany and nato are i to a long war scenario? and what does that mean for russia? i think that deeply committed to pushing russia back on this because it's really crucial situation for, for european security and the european security order. however, i think we're, we're now entering a new phase in the war. also, in the sense that, that russia is not, seems no longer be interested in winning the war simply because they can't given

the west of support the ukraine. it seems more that they are trying to gain as much territorial advantage over ukrainian territory, especially in the east to gain a more beneficial ah, negotiation position for future peace talks. and that is quite problematic because it, as a, the foreign minister already said it remains, it involves depopulation. and to some extent, the math of cleansing, how the ukraine war has also forced a paradigm shift in germany's foreign policy. or where do you see germany in the western alliance moving forward? is it positioning itself? any leadership role? it is so not necessarily question of leadership at this point and germany is certainly not in that position, but it could play a huge role in a future peace negotiations. i think germany is very competent that, sorry, and we've seen that in the all can wars as well with germany has played

a crucial role, for example, the dayton peace talks and also in the rumble, yay, a course following kosovo. so that is a role that germany could play very well on the diplomatic table. not so much, perhaps in these military efforts here, the u. s. and other partners are quite crucial. and just before we go, i want to ask you, part of your research is looking at the role of emotions in foreign policy making. i'm a fascinating field of research, i should say. so looking at actors in germany, how much of their response do you think can be seen through this lens? i think it's quite important to, to, to understand what's going on right now, because what we see is it's sort of disruption of, sorry, a disruption of non patterns of security in the meaning of security for europe. an almost traumatic experience that wor, usually leads to and we can see the emotional responses in various levels with individual policy makers being shocked by what's going on in the ukraine. you see

the collective outpouring of emotional support, sympathy, and empathy in helping ukraine's not just in the material level will also a psychological level through solidarity and other means of psychological support. and finally, there's the emotions involved in political communication and the media. that is making sure that the war crimes become visible and graspable and compatible for, for people to understand and that the perpetrators will not be, will not go away unpunished. and so to sum up incense, my emotions are, are deeply and instrumental in providing meaning to these traumatic events and making sense of it. civil kasha, i thank you so much again for coming on to need of you to share that. but us, thank you so much. ah, present good wanted less natal. he is getting more little more

troops and more made to members. though this issue was 5 finan unsweetened to apply for nathan membership, our historic and they will strengthen our alliance. that was nato secretary general young sultan bergan washington. earlier to day speaking about sweden and finland, landmark beds to join nato for suite and joining the military alliance would mean giving up more than 2 centuries of neutrality. public opinion in favor of joining, grew to around 50 per cent after russia's invasion of ukraine. but nato expansion is being opposed by member country turkey. president wretch, up at tie up, or no one has accused sweden of supporting opposition groups that turkey labels terrorists. and he's angered over sweden's embargo on arms sales to turkey. museum woocommerce you the, in a con, we explained why we are against the membership of those countries with reasons and examples. resume until now, we have not received any concrete document that can resolve our doubts. moto beauty,

gram nato, is a security organizational, not a support group for terrorist organizations did. so nato is convening talks between turkey and the nordic candidates in the coming days. earlier d w, spoke to sweden's defense minister, pater hope fest in an exclusive interview. and we asked him what was behind sweden's, historic shift from neutrality to nato. the situation before the 24th of the february was to a situation of the russian attack against ukraine, wilson and other. we have a situation where we have a real war in our neighborhood and that, that change with the ration from mentally. and we have also decided off the security to go to nathan membership together. we've seen land or, well,

you're saying well us at other countries in europe for example, your money and, and others we, we try to create peace and we try to play peaceful solutions. but we are not naive . we see to development around us. we must also make conclusions from, from that situation, and now we have the 1st big more in our neighborhood since the 2nd world war. so there is one mental change and it's 100 percent russell responsibility. how a swedish defense minister peter host krista speaking to d. w earlier. also on the day what to do about soaring fuel prices on germany has just launched its latest idea, ditch the car, and take the train locally or across the country for just 9 euros a month. it's an easy deal. you can buy the ticket at a machine like this one online or on the app. and once you have the ticket,

you can travel anywhere you want. and it has been one of the most high profile celebrity lawsuits ever seen in the united states . actor johnny depp store of the pirates of the caribbean movie franchise. opposite his ex wife aqua actor. amber heard each accusing each other of defamation as to the statement appearing in the online and entitled amber heard. i spoke up against sexual violence and faced our cultures wrath. do you find that mr. dev has proven all the elements of defamation? answer yes. as against amber heard, we the jury award compensatory damages in the amount of $10000000.00. as against john c depth, the 2nd we the jury award compensatory damages in the amount of $2000000.00. so you heard it there. let's now bring in a k g map, k j matthews. excuse me,

entertainment journalist in los angeles. great to see you again. a lot to impact here. first of all, amber heard found liable for defamation. i want to get your reaction now that the verdict is in. i'm really not surprised if you look at the way people are reacting to this truck and you believe it's last. it's 6 weeks, it feels like even longer than that. ah, but the way it played out all of the witnesses that took the stand on her taking the amber, her taking the stand to tell her story. and then johnny debt taking the stand and then reading what people were saying about them listening to the people outside the court house. it was really easy to see early on that there were so many more people in johnny depp's camp and they are really on his side tending to believe his version of reality, more so than, than amber herds. unfortunately. and why do you think that that was the case that you're running? you know, i think it's very rare that we get

a glimpse into the private lives of major a list. celebrities like amber heard and johnny depp. they total a lot of a very private details, very damaging things against one another. obviously their stories were a drastically different. only one person could really be telling the truth if there were a truth. and so i think it was just fascinating to be a fly on the wall to listen to this and to, to hear him say that his career has definitely been damage because of her 2018 op ed where she claim she was a domestic a victim rather of domestic violence. right. many for many survivors of domestic violence. they've said that this has been a difficult trial to watch unfold. he tell us a little bit more about that. yeah, you know, when you have someone like amber heard, who's a really big star, i say that she was physically abused and emotionally abused by an alias star like that. you would think that someone that has that kind of platform might be taken

seriously. and it seemed, you know, gauging by the public discourse that she really wasn't. so i guess a lot of people who are serious victims of domestic violence are probably saying it amber, her can't be believe. what is it say for the rest of us. they don't even have a platform like that, that aren't rich, that aren't famous, that aren't beautiful. so it probably, you know, it doesn't look good. i may be certain people who are victims of domestic violence in or looking at her case and, and not feeling very positive. right. and you mentioned that part of the appeal for viewers was that so many sorted details came out over the couples relationship and wife style a. what do you think this trial has done generally for celebrity worship? i think, you know, i don't think that johnny depp was expecting to walk away with like $50000000.00, which is what he was trying to to get in this case. i think what he won, it was his reputation back. i think that he felt that the number of major roles that were being offered to him and the amount of money that he was getting before

that up it has drastically been reduced. and that was what he was trying to prove. it also many say that maybe he was trying to embarrass her the way he had been embarrassed. and so i don't know that this does anything to improve his reputation . ah, but it does shine a spotlight really on amber and some of the tactics that he played and some of the things that she did throughout their marriage. so it'll be really interesting to see what kind of parts they get. but already you may have heard that there was a petition going around online to try to remove amber, her from the upcoming sequel to aqua man. so it really just will be interesting. the type of roles that they're offered. after this case, amber heard then counter suit for a 100000000. what do you think her legal team's strategy in this was was the basically, i try to say that yes i'm telling, shoot, i'm not gonna sit here and take it. if he's gonna sue me, i'm going to sue him up. both of them had made a really scurrilous ah allegations against one another. both were killed,

claiming that they were physically abused. both were claiming that they were emotionally abused. and yet when they both took the stand, you had johnny depp saying, i never touch amber, you had amber saying i never touch johnny depp. so somebody clearly was telling the story and both wanted to get their story out there. instead of letting the other tell the story and not having any response at all, i k j. matthews, entertainment journalist in los angeles. a pleasure is always to speak with you. thank you. ah. and from today, people here in germany will be able to travel for the entire month on most public transport for just 9 euros. now that cheap transport deal is a response to rising energy prices. organizers also hope it'll learn people away from their cars. millions have already bought their tickets. endless possibilities . a long list of regional trains ready to take people across germany. and all you

need is 9 euros. anyone in germany residence and tourists alike can purchase a monthly pass for this bargain price. it will be available for the month of june, july and august. it's an easy deal. you can buy the ticket at a machine like this one online or on the app. and once you have the ticket, you can travel anywhere you want. in fact, the past can be used on local public transport like buses, trams or the metro, but also on regional trains across the country. the aim is to incentivize the use of more climate friendly, public transport, but also the counter rising energy prices. this train is headed to the baltic sea. now normally a return ticket would cost around $50.00 euros, but with the 9 euro ticket, it is all included in the price. you can go there and back. anytime you want at no

additional cost. the trips might be a long one, though high speed trains like this one are not included in the path which only covers trips on slower trains. but the ticket doesn't only cover long distance travel, it makes local public transport more accessible to. it's also a relief for city commuters wouldn't normally have to pay for quite an expensive month we passed. so the 9 year ticket isn't only for the holiday makers, and it also makes it more affordable to get to the office. at berlin's main train station, people seem excited about it. there's a good, a find a very, very good. i'm actually not a big use of public transport, but mine euros one should consider it to me. it's a good idea for the circle to have it in the entire country. that's. that's very cool. yeah. my lawyer. yeah. it's been so tomas is a great measure. it makes public transport more attractive and perhaps brings

people on board to have him try it out yet. picked up up, but i think it will be a challenge to manage a search and travelers which is to be expected less hydrous for this order. crowds like these are a big worry. there are concerns that the infrastructure will not be able to handle an influx of new passengers. and it's sometimes hard to figure out which trains are covered by the ticket. but despite some possible glitches, this is gearing up to be the summer of climate friendly rail travel in germany. now as you may know, germany is famous for its car culture and auto bonds. not so much for its cheap public transport. so his, this 9 year old take it a new direction in mobility for the country. here's the julius how daily, again, from berlin, central station. well, it is definitely an attempt to try to incentivize the use of public transport and trains. but well, we've also seen criticism of the measure, for example,

people saying that instead of spending all this money on this cheaper ticket, they could have invested the money and improving the real infrastructure. and also at the same time as the introduction of this tickets, the government has also lowered taxes on petrol. and that is also seen as a sign of the government actually still subsidizing a cars and car drivers. so this is definitely an attempt to try to push people to use trains more. but whether it is a such a big change in terms of mobility in germany, that remains to be seen. that was the day, thanks so much for watching. ah ah

with ah they were underestimated and discriminated against me that they have proven themselves female and trip and as an india what is the secret to their success? what hurdles did they become and what do they need to? cheap true equality made in germany next on d, w o,

b asia. then all lovers died. this time while i'm poor, how does bring people together in a culturally diverse city painting that are human for that is so different? it is easy. it only took the me just let me go just with do you? ah, she made it out. unfortunately, she talked in a south a mother who is going to spend the rest of her life behind bars for murdering her 3 daughters. if you call me back i

with i see the site that was part of psychosis is an awful illness. postpartum is a nasty mothers nightmare starts june, 4th on d. w with ah, the pendulum is finally swinging in the other direction. is a concerted push in what places in many parts of the world to promote minorities and women, include people with disabilities and give those with less fortunate backgrounds of fair got. it should be all about the bright person for the right job, but nurturing or even finding that talent can be the biggest.
