where has history left its traces, ah, leading legal hearing their dreams many to meet this week on d. w. ah, ah, this is the w news lie, but from berlin tonight at donald trump summit to give the evidence about the storming of the us capitol. we are obligated to seek answers directly from the man to set this all in motion for makers. ab voted unanimously to subpoena the former

u. s. president to testify to the congressional inquiry also coming up tonight, a new wave of russian air strikes on ukraine. more than 40 challenge and cities of come under attack in a 4th straight day of bombardment and nato issuing a sharp warning to russia not to use nuclear weapons in ukraine equity general un stoughton berg saying that there would be severe consequences if weather me approach and resorts to nuclear arms on the battlefield. ah, i'm burned. gov to our viewers watching on p b as in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin with breaking news from washington, where a u. s. house committee has just voted to subpoena the former u. s. president. donald trump, the committee investigating last year's deadly january 6th storming of the us

capitol unanimously decided to vote to compel the president to come forth and testify, and to surrender documents concerning the of it. the boat seeking trump's testimony came as the panel is assembling, new details and evidence of trumps, or the state of mind on that day. january 6th. when he refused to concede his election, lost to joe biden, that congress was certifying when the mom, you know, stormed in as heaven. it's tammy, i requested it, are you? this is a developing story of quite the movement. let's go now to our washington bureau chief in his po enos. this is a significant decision just on its face. what me, what comes next? do we expect to see donald trump actually taking the stand and testify? this last committee ended indeed friend with a big bang. i mean, it was a bit of a theatrical moment. i thing toward in public was 9 a's, but it did what it was. definitely a historic moment. so what does this mean?

the subpoenas calling a oh for donald trump to testify if he declines, which, as we know is very, very likely food vote in congress could be held to hold him in content. and if that is to happen, the justice department, her could press criminal charges against donald trump, but that is still a very unlikely scenario in we know that supporters of the former president, they allege that these hearings are politically motivated. can this development up, can it have impact, you know, what i'm going to ask you on the upcoming mid term elections next month now, which only is less than 3 weeks away? well, the midterms could be the 1st signal to whether the institutions will be able to withstand the parish of misinformation and, and conspiracy about the election process. you know, brenwood, we experience when report out here in this huge can

a country the united states candidates across the spectrum have been using the 2020 election fraud conspiracy theory as part of their campaign platform and, and so called election denials. already announced that they won't accept the outcome if it would not be in their favor. so kind of repeating what donald trump is doing since 2 years. so he has indeed this might play a huge role in the upcoming mid term elections in i'm wondering to the hearings. this is the last public hearing and wondering how you measure the success of these hearings. because, you know, we've seen now firmly that most republicans seem to be standing by trump. the findings also really have dot not done much to change people who expected to hear this about the u. s. president. so in terms of the national opinion about the president in the state of politics, has anything really changed?

how does it, sir? i think the court question, isn't it? and i mean, from my opinion until now, republicans in the house and the senate kind of have shown that they still have no intention to really cross drum and his supporters clearly because they are afraid of, of the backlash. but a things are piling up a and i had just travelled like a states like taxes and, and florida and kind of, you know, attended trump rallies and big events and maybe not the hard caught from supporters . but i, my feeling is that the majority of the republican party is really getting tired. so by the end of the day, it will depend on whether they dare to stand up against donald trump, or if the fear that he could end their careers. whence yes, very good point and all of this course also throws it up and whether or not he'll, he will be eligible to run in another political campaign that is now up for raps or

washington bureau chief in his fall is as always, thank russia is again pounding ukrainian, an air offensive that is now in its 4th day within 40 challenge and cities have come under attack. moscow claims that it is striking only infrastructure, but civilians are also in the firing lines as drones and missiles continue to seek out non military targets. the pre dawn, air raid sirens, and my don square and keys ringing another day in russia's war on ukraine. daylight reveals fresh horrors. rushing shells struck an apartment building in the southern city of nikolai of an 11 year old boy, spent 6 hours trapped beneath the rebel before emergency workers pulled him to safety. in harkey,

the death toll rose in the recent rushing, shooting on a civilian car convoy ukrainian. prosecutors said 25 people have now died including 12 children. investigators say one passenger, a 75 year old woman crowd nearly 200 meters towards help. before succumbing to her injuries. authorities fear the death toll could increase further, body fragments are being sent for d. n a analysis to identify those killed and harrison region retaken by ukrainian forces survivors share what they endured. well, you just give me. this is a disaster. i have been crying for months. i'm still shocked. i've lost everything now that i am 72 years old and i was left with nothing. all my clothes, i hear everything, use the show. elderly and disabled ukrainians have been forced to start over. in the western city of kolinski aid workers,

welcome new refugees driven out of their homes. by recent attacks on the upper region. ukrainian president to lamar's lensky vowed again to hunt down those responsible for ukrainian suffering. my sorrows, if gus botanist will our intelligence special services, law enforcement agencies are finding out all the details regarding these and other russian strikes and they did them. no russian terrorism will be able to remain unknown to justice. that we will know all the names and all the details for ukraine will bring to justice. every russian murderer, an executioner, line from commanders to privates, who carried out criminal orders, looking into the will of ukrainian people to fight on continues. and so does this war raphael grozis the head of the u ends nuclear agency. he is in keith talks about these operates in nuclear power plant,

and i asked our correspondent, mathias burling, or if there's been any progress to report about assuring the plants safety. so rossi came here after visiting moscow. he was conveying what he had talked about with food in to the ukrainians. and he says he's hopeful that talks will be possible because put in said that he would be ready to talk. and so this is a good time, but he didn't bring any specific any specific news, any specific commitments or anything. he told us that the situation was very precarious and that they had said that before. but the i. e, a does not recognize the plant as russian put in has and next it, together with the territories is also signed a decrease that would, according to the russians, bring it into the russian state assets. this is not recognized by the international

community. grossey is calling for the russians to stop all military activity their to demilitarize it. it is and use the word demilitarize, but she says that no rockets or shells or whatever must be fired from the territory and the terms you must not be fired at. and yeah, there is no specific progress yet, but i guess he has to be hopeful that these talks need to something because the situation is very serious. that was d. w mathias building their reporting from key will since the beginning of this war, hundreds of thousands of russians have fled their country when fighting put an ordered a partial mobilization back in september. that number serge now many have made their way to israel. one of the few plays is still open to russians and one of the few places to running direct flights. the government is preparing for thousands more to arrive in the coming months. d w. 's rebecca rivers met with one young man

in haifa. a taste of home in a foreign land. ivan who doesn't want us to use his last name for security reasons, is one of thousands of russians of jewish descent have arrived in israel since the kremlin cold for a partial mobilization valerio data. and israel's law of return, any jew around the world has an automatic right to citizenship. ivan, whose grandfather is jewish, started making inquiries in february, shortly after russia invaded ukraine, valesvi la west, his friends, when the war began the special military operation. i started looking at the programs israel offered to symbol on me. i had thought that until the new year i would earn money is on the board with plans to come later. blemish the bottom 3 of them. but on the 21st of september, in fearing conscription, things became urgent. so a yard in epistles, rather sheila, via course, but um,

yeah, i wrote the program coordinator in israel. straits away fell thought he said, don't worry. it's just just to get out of russia. if it is right, sir. gluttonous, just leave it isn't. then i left because it's don. more than 6000 people like yvonne have fled from russia to israel since vladimir putin gave his mobilization order. that many of them have been too scared to share this story with us for fear of retribution from the kremlin. israel says it's preparing for tens of thousands more in the coming months, welcoming jews fling persecution is hardly something new for the jewish sites. the biggest migration was throughout the 90s, where israel and welcomed over 1000000 immigrants from former soviet union countries. what we've seen this year is a 20 year record. it does come naturally for us to open the door to any one ah, of jewish descent, according to the law return. this is our vocation. vacation ivan was happy to

benefit from by so he has a military exemption. he says he knows of other men who've been called up despite having the same status here. i to me of it. here i go by train in ukraine. it's a fight. hundreds of thousands of young men, a desperate to avoid, even if it's hard to leave your homeland or to new york. here, of course i love russia very much. i was born and raised there. like probably 95 percent of those you left russia. like i hope to return when dots, which the whole world is dreaming of door will happen, which they advised me at home sick as he is, ivan says he's happy he's now living in a free country. as he considers his future, he hopes one day to return to a russia that is free as well. nato has wrapped up in 2 days of talks in brussels, with a sharp warning to roger not to use nuclear weapons. and you great native secretary

general, you in stoughton burke saying any use of nuclear weapons would have severe consequences . they, the countries have agreed to step up their military support for ukraine. european allies are gearing up their air defense at the nato defense ministers meeting in brussels. 15 countries signed off on a plan to buy new air defense systems together. the german lead initiative has the goal to dignify clean hands our ability to defend the alliance from all air and missile threats. threats that elsewhere have become reality. just days ago, russia launched rockets at cities across ukraine, destroying critical infrastructure and killing civilians and attacks. nato members have called ruthless and indiscriminate. but to take also the last 2 days at fax, then the number of shelling shells and bombs, rec, raucous, or has been over to 100 and crane. her managed to bring them down over 50 percent over 50 percent of them. so which shows that the air defense is better, but

a crucial to save civilian lives, because russians are bombing at the moment. civilians, ukraine so far has been lacking modern missile defense equipment like this, u. s. made patriot system. nato. alice are now scrambling to provide support. germany has begun delivering iris t defense systems and pledges to send more of these powerful assets with the capacity to protect and midsize city from air attacks. the u. s. u k are providing surface to air missile systems as well. but at the same time natal members are confronted with having no broad air defense capabilities themselves. in the event of an attack on european cities, allies would have insufficient means to respond. the european skies shield initiative is supposed to change this, so it has to go faster than it is important that these gaps are close to these times we are experiencing. these are threatening times and challenging times. and

we have to step up and take responsibility name and to be a hob secretary general in short, because now the alliance would help ukraine transition from soviet era to nato level equipment with the war and ukraine escalating to another level. nato members will need to make sure they themselves are covered as well, or corresponded terry shoulds. she followed that nato meeting for is that i asked her about native's commitment to create an air defense system for ukraine. whether that commitment is realist, well, certainly not over night. brand that's not realistic at all, but they have indeed seen that ukraine needs more and more air defenses, especially in recent days, as russia has continued attacks from the air on civilian areas. so what this ukraine defense contact group which met yesterday said is that it is going to continue collecting equipment from all the different allies and partners who want to help you crane. and then they're going to try to knit up as experts say, all of these pieces of equipment into more of an air defense for ukraine. now this

is not going to be easy, technically they admit, and it's going to take some time. but this is indeed the aim and is something that the ukraine has been saying would save lives every day, lives are lost because they don't have this kind of coverage over their skies. but indeed, the allies have seen this as a priority. now, in equipping ukraine with the weapons that needs, as also lead to worries about an inability, some they to members to defend themselves. i mean, how much of a balancing act we have going on right now for nato? this is something that allies are increasingly worried about because as they send both weapons off their own shelves to ukraine, and along with some of these soviet ero weapons that we've talked about, many times they're finding that it takes so long to make new weapons that there's going to be a gap in their own arsenals. and this is something that nato wants them to maintain it, something that every country has its own comfort zone, with,

with what levels of weapons it keeps in its own stockpiles. so now just to day, if we go back to air defense for an example, 15 country signed an agreement on the side lines here to finally create an air defense system together and european air defense system. it was a german lead initiative and said to close some of the gaps when, when countries are simply doing this by themselves. so certainly the war in russia, the pressure on, on budgets and on security. the feeling of security has forced countries to work together to become a more cost efficient and efficient in terms of manufacturing orders. and we've heard, it seems to be non stop. now these warnings to bottom, you put not to consider using nuclear weapons at all in this conflict. amid the same time, though, you've got nato, a conducting exercises annual nuclear exercises in a few days time, could rush of you this as a provocation. russia seems to view everything,

nato does as a provocation, or it used to at least to use that as an excuse for some of its behavior. but when nato looked at whether it should carry out this long scheduled nuclear deterrence exercise, it decided that it would send exactly the wrong signal to the kremlin if it were to back down based on russia's nuclear threats. they said that this would create insecurity for its own allies. it would create a feeling in the kremlin, that bullying works. and so i was told today that they wasn't even ever considered to, to cancel these exercises and they're quite interesting. they involve flying nuclear capable plains as if they were carrying live bombs, which of course they aren't. but that should certainly also send a signal back to moscow that, that nato would be ready in case moscow were to take this rhetoric further yet. and we certainly hope that never happens to results in brussels. terry, as always, thank you. let's take a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . thousands of african girls and women have taken university entrance exams. 2

weeks after an attacker killed 46 female students who were preparing for these very test. the ruling taliban have banned many women and girls from secondary education . but though, had been, has assigned armed guards to the testing facilities at cobble university. italy's parliament has met for the 1st time since elections election, winter george maloney's brothers of italy, party is looking to form a right wing coalition with my tail. so vini, head of the far right league, and silvio berlusconi, of the right is ford. so, italy, a u. s. jury has refused to sentence to death. a florida school shooter. nicholas cruz was imprisoned for life instead for murdering 700 students and staff at a high school in portland, florida. the massacre inspired a wave of gun control activism. i don't ever, lebanon's president says that his country has agreed to a deal to resolve

well, the president said that the button has agreed to define and version of the agreement presented by the american negotiator. but he also insisted that this did not pay the way to normalizing the relations with israel. both countries are technically still at war, even though at president out suggested that the, at the guarantees a common economic interest and this spring stability to the region. actually the final version of the deal will only resolve a territorial dispute. on the tip of the onion, see and does not touch on the lens borders. i'll flip on this rail, which are yet to be stuck in this means that the deal will be more kate, each countries exclusive economic zone that and then the territorial war that waters for each country w mom is, is rated. joining us tonight from the roots, mom to thank for winter, is rapidly approaching in india and with the colder months comes the smog season.
