ah, ah ah ah ah, this is d w is live from a generational task that must start now. the words of germany's chance so as he opens a conference on the reconstruction of ukraine following brushes, invasion talk is of a program on the scale of the marshall plan. how realistic is that go?

also on the program, russia relocate tens of thousands of from house on region where it illegally annex the last month in anticipation of a ukrainian counter offensive for the hedge fund boss re, she's sooner he's now britain's new prime minister. the conservative party latest leader faces many challenges including stabilizing the economy and dealing with the cost of living crisis that's plunged thousands into poverty. and the court in russia rejects an appeal by american basketball star, brittany greiner, against a 9 year prison sentence, full possession and smuggling of drugs. ah, i'm fill gail. welcome to the program. international leaders, including the german chancellor, olaf shouts, meeting in berlin to discuss rebuilding ukraine after russia's innovation brought

delegates said reconstruction must begin immediately. despite the fact, the war is still being fought. speaking a via video link, ukrainian president vladimir savanski said that for his country to get back on its feet, the international community must cover a $38000000000.00 hole in next year's budget. will the ukrainian president also emphasize his country's role as a buffer between europe and future russian aggression ukraine as the physical security of europe receive from me any new strike of rush and tyranny? it is ukraine. you that can guarantee that your russian ravin shares them well. not great. how are you ripping? oh, ukraine as the energy security only not only to our neighbors when we will liberate the entire territory from russian invaders. the european union will be able to as fully and reliably replace dirty russians energy resources. with our help will

hosting the conference in berlin, german chancellor, olaf shalt said the task of rebuilding required what he called the combined strength of the world and said his country had learned from its past, from our own historian, historical experience. we also know that reconstruction is always possible, and that it is never too soon to tackle this task. now, just a moment to convene the brightest and best minds to provide expertise and recommendations to start rebuilding hickory. now is the moment to use diverse collective knowledge to country move to ukraine's future. now is the moment to develop the institutional framework to govern and deliver ukraine's reconstruction . and now is the moment to discuss how ukraine's future can be built and financed. as john dw chief political correspondent, nina hossa, who is at the conference. welcome nina. i have any concrete proposals emerged

well, this conference is actually pretty detailed when it comes to the discussions that are happening. and that is because some of the highest level of people on the international financing stage are here in berlin to discuss just what needs to be done precisely in order for ukraine to go through these 3 phases. as the ukranian government calls the may say, we need immediate help to essentially help us deal with the fact that we are constantly being attacked by russia. and then we will enter a 2nd stage where we also need financing help, which is sort of the reconstruction, because our infrastructure is going down. and we also need to basically give people the idea that ukraine remains a livable country. and then in the 3rd phase is all about modernizing ukraine and bringing it onto the path of becoming a full fledged european union member. so there is

a concrete proposal on the table that would guarantee the financing for ukraine for the next year. the european union commission president, it was left on the line, said that the you is willing to print $18000000000.00 euros per month for the next year. and the hope is that the us will match that. so that would already guarantee quite a bit of financing for ukraine. but then figures are, of course, very unclear because the russian bombarding is still going on. but i now have the opportunity to discuss all that in detail with the head of the international monetary fund that is also going to be playing a crucial role here. crystelina your giver. so you say that the i m s role is going to be to identify the needs and also close those gaps in financing. could you just highlight what that means? we are already playing this role in since the beginning of the war. we work with the ukranian government, which deserves huge praise for functioning so responsibly as they

do on what is necessary to keep the economy functioning. we came up with $5000000000.00 a month and sir the international community came true. we have for $35000000000.00 seen pledges, significant part already dispersed, including car from the i made for we provide a $2700000000.00 in emergency financing into trenches. and we have channel to point $2000000000.00 to a front administered account. now next, we need to define at what are the 2023 requirements for the recovery of ukraine, and again, working very closely with ukrainian authorities. we had our 1st impersonation with them. we came with somewhere between 2 a, sorry, $3.00 and $4000000000.00 a month. $3000000000.00 being

a best case scenario. $4000000000.00 being the realistic scenario, because we see precious for more gas purchases. and of course, the recovery of infrastructure. it could possibly go all the way to fife, a 1000000000, which was the cost of the last month. if russia continues to in discriminatory bomb or the urban centers of a ukraine. what is critical to day, and sir, i'm extremely pleased that the ukrainians wanted and the international community is coming through is to heavy coordination mechanism. a platform that allows us to present our findings on the macroeconomic framework and on the financial gap for you green. and then define concretely who is funding, how much and on what time schedule predictability of funding for you cream

is as important as the amounts of that that are necessary. but of course, this is a tremendous task and all of such the gemini chancellor, who, in his position as head of the g 7 here as broad experts together has said it is a generational task. aren't you afraid that support for ukraine is going to somehow go away after quite some time? this is always a risk and we had seen it in the past, and we had to be mindful of this risk. what mitigates this risk is the incredible strength of ukrainian society, not just the government, but the ukrainian people. what is remarkable is how the attitudes of ukrainians had changed because of the war. before the war, we had to have discussions with ukrainian authorities on issues like fight the guess corruption, accountability,

and transparency. none of this is on the table now. they are themselves determined to prove that their country is worthy to be a member of european union. and that all the support that ukraine is getting east for this bic purpose of a country that is dynamic, modern and has the values of democracy that we all all cherish. so it would be hard when the world economies in trouble and it is when countries are sleeping into recessions, it would be hard to sustain the financial support. but this is why the, the national financial institutions exist. we were said in the midst of the 2nd world war for recovery and reconstruction, and we will do that for ukraine. and we do cri, crystelina, gail giver head of the international monetary fund. thank you very much.

that was actually political correspondent, nina hasa. now russia took control of most of the house on region in ukraine south early in the invasion. i was preparing for an assault by advancing ukrainian forces . cave says russia, sending in more troops and preparing house on city for urban warfare as ukrainian forces advance russian installed authorities of ordered civilians to leave. after months of occupation, the village of fresh jenica in her son is free. most of the hamlet's residents fled when the russians came. but o leg tells the danish broadcasting corporation that his family stayed behind and retreated cruelly. well, it's a dois. doria believes that it's a long story here. we experienced a lot of things. i'm already one time we got a bag over our heads and got taken away in military vehicles to the school. although then they ransacked the house. o legs family slept in

a basement for months as fighting a run, fresh jenica intensified, but they stuck it out. and were rewarded for their patience we will hold about, we waited a long time, but for the ukrainian army, my jealousy. we hugged each other and cried. and i did when we did on here, i never lost hope. settlements up and down the hare. san front are waking up to find their occupiers gone. analysts say the russians are abandoning their positions to avoid encirclement as ukrainian forces advanced toward the nepa river and the city of her son. if they do reach her son, it's unclear if there will be many civilians left to liberate. russia says it has relocated tens of thousands of people. as keith's forces draw nearer, a group of hare san residence, arriving in crimea, say they had left behind

a dangerous situation. i'm from have son of how was that there now? bad? oh, is there shelling? yes. while russia is calling this and evacuation? moscow has been accused of forcibly relocating ukrainians to its territory. either way. no one who boarded these buses out of her son can say when they'll see their homes again. brett, no house. it's a 3rd prime minister for 2 months. i ritchie sooner was formalized at this morning at an appointment, i found the audience with her had of state king charles at buckingham palace, the form of finance minister against support of the ruling. conservative party after his main rivals, stepped aside. at 42 years old, he'll be, he is the britons youngest, head of government won 200 years. he takes over from less trust who beat him to the job 7 weeks ago and was and forced to resign after economic plans unsettled the markets and cause economic chaos. after his audience with the king mister sooner

carried to his new residence at 10 downing street where he addressed the country as prime minister for the 1st time. i will place economic stability and confidence. at the heart of this government's agenda. this will mean difficult decisions to come. the government eileen will not leave the next generation. your children and grandchildren with a debt to settle that we were too weak to pay ourselves. i will unite our country not with woods, but with action. black i responded to bergen mosque was on downing street for mr. soon. acts speech and gave me her assessment well, i think it was interesting fill that he started with admitting that mistakes were made by his predecessor and that he said he's an away selected to fix his

predecessors mistake. so he's not pretending that everything is going to be plain sailing, and he's trying to convey that he in a way is now the adult in the room. somebody with economic competencies got an economic background himself in finance. and of course, he's been the chancellor through the covey crisis, so he's basically saying that he's going to be in charge and from now on things will get better. and one of the most pressing issues are in his inbox. it's really the cost of living crisis. i think that's going to be his biggest headache. of course, there are it's international politics, the war and ukraine, that the decision whether he will raise the defense budget. but i think the economic group of many british people this is, has to be up front and sent off his politics. there are many people who don't know how to heat their homes in the coming winter, their families who can put food on the table for their children to hit. somebody

has to explain how he will tackle this. and he has given a hint, basically in his 1st speeds he is speech, he has said that he doesn't want other generations to come to settle this generation stat to he's hinting arts and at cuts in public spending. but he hasn't really fleshed out how this is going to work. one question will be whether he has to raise taxes in order to help the people in need. he hasn't really said that, but i think people are anticipating that there will be some tough times to come right now. his 2 predecessors were brought down by members of barrow conservative party who actually rejected mister soon at last on. so does the fact that he was selected unopposed, this time means his party is now united and behind him he has inherited a party that's deeply vied at 1st of all over breck said, but old se over him and his personality say there are many in the party,

you did not support him many party members actually. um, so you probably would not have won the vapor within the party members because they are saying that he basically betrayed boys johnson when doris johnson had to resign . he was one of the 1st to ah, to make that happen and to say that he was also really ready when brad johnson resigned to survey thing that he betrayed for his johnson and shouldn't have done it. so he will need not only his economic skills, but also his diplomatic skills to unite his party behind him. berg it to masa to turn down the street that in london. thank you. let's take a look at some of the other stories are making news around the walls. forces or palestinian authorities say 6 people were killed in israeli raves in the occupied west bank. israel said it was a targeted assault on the emergent armed group, lyons den israeli prime minister. yeah, i am a pet said, be

a leader of the new colas, with palestinian fighters was killed in the rights 9 people have been killed in bangladesh after a cycle ravaged its west coast. officials say houses have been destroyed, trees uprooted and infrastructure, and power links disrupted. that's been flooding in low lying areas, but mass evacuations before the cycling made land for save lives. so korean president use of your says north korea appears to have completed preparations for another nuclear test, calling on the north to stop what he called. it's threatening provocations. he said, so would strengthen it determines capability to pyongyang, carried out an unprecedented series of weapons tests. 6 i did, i says it's ending its partnership with county west, the german sports where john said it's dropping the musician and designer after he made a series of anti semitic remarks. it's the latest company to cut ties with 2 now goes by the name of iran's judiciary. his charge more than

$300.00 people are the ongoing protest rocking the country of for protesters charged with war against god could face death sentences. others accused of plotting against iran, security and spreading alleged propaganda against the regime may end up at the tourist ever in prison. the high security facility in teheran is known for holding a political prisoners and human rights activists. every prison has long been associated with torture and coerce, if interrogations. will iranian british, businessman, a new show, assured, was confined there for more than 4 years. he was detained on espionage charges while he was on a trip to visit his mother in 2017. i asked him what's a waiting protesters who end up inside the walls of f in prison. with a consent for the situation there is extremely di and in view of the

current events, i'm even more worried about their safety. you've described life as how, why i imagine living in your room with 14 or 15 other people. and every day and night struggling with cockroaches rat's bed box and found food being deprived of your human rights. all together, it's going to be how and how did, how did that affect you when my timing been present, it can be divided in 2 phases. one is the interrogation phase, and the other one is when i spend time in the present itself, in the interrogation center, i ended up with 3 suicide attempts that

and how, you know, what i am during the 1st 4 months after my release i was much better because i think i was overwhelmed with the joy of being released. but during the past 2 or 3 months i'm getting a lot of flashbacks and anxiety attacks that i have to deal with. so this is an experience that is still with you. i think it's going to be there for a long time. right. and are you getting help to that hostage international they have been fantastic even when i was in prison and now that i'm out and i'm just international, they're both being very helpful. and so when you see tens of thousands of iranians, young and old men and women out on the streets as they are now standing up to i regime, who's bruce, how do you have experience that firsthand?

when do you see that on the t v? what are you thinking? my, my hoss is with them. i am extremely worried about all those young girls boys are being queued by the 10s every day. and we really need media like yours to raise social awareness. i want this brutality is monstrous theory. and so now given everything that you said, what you went through with those 3 suicide while you were in prison on the fact that he's having on you, now that you are free, if you could speak to those protesters who were to take into the streets now would you say, but it's worth it, it's worth the sacrifice it's worth going through how to achieve what they're trying to achieve. it is difficult for me while sitting here comfortably in my home

is to try to encourage people to do that. but there is, unfortunately, there isn't any other way these people are not going to leave this country as easy as you might think. well, i thank you for sparing of the time and talking through what is clearly been a traumatic experience, a new sure assuring. thank you so much. thank you. as a sports news or out of russia, jailed us basketball. sa brittany griner has lost her appeal hearing. after the court upheld her 9 year prison sentence, a grant as a to time olympic gold women and to w. n. b, a star, i was arrested in moscow and being in possession of a faith cartridges containing cannabis oil. on february 17th, the substance is banned in russia and we get more from chris harrington from d w. support. welcome, chris. so tell us more about today's hearing. will you know,

i don't believe many gave brittany grider much hope. it was already expressed to her lawyers that she had very little hope about a positive outcome. but the defense, you know, made their case. they spoke about the expert. you know, that determine how much cannabis oil was found in the cartridges. they said that he was unqualified in that they cited several procedural errors throughout these, this process. and they called her punishment excessive, you know, they sided her contribution to russian sports. she's one back to back championships in the women's russian basketball league. so she is looked at is somewhat a role model with that instance. and really grant her also made a statement and she was apologetic. she had already pled guilty. she called with an honest mistake, and she also felt that her punishment was excessive. others on hand chimed in that similar sentiment. and she was asked by the tribunal who took no time to head down their verdict. i mean, it was like a split 2nd decision. you know,

i was following the tracking the trial in the ass or do you understand the sentence? and she said yes. or she'll get his time served. and she's been detained since february. okay, so 9 years ahead of it. what, what happens to her now? well, she'll be transported to a penal colony in russia via train. the train ride reportedly takes longer than a month. the conditions or horrible reports say there's over crowding that there is limited contact with the outside world. and even further us state reports have said that there been abuses reported such as sexual abuses and torture. so it just looks like a very gram future or immediate future at least for brittany grant and give us a brief assessment of the u. s. reaction. well, the u. s. a child did as well call that excessive. they've been working in the background, trying to engineer a release of prison swap victor bout is a russian arms dealer serving a 25 year prison sense in the united states. they're trying to swap. he for

brittany griner along with the u. s. marine, that's behind bars in russia. some insiders believe the deal could be made by the end of the year. they are ongoing talks about this situation because those in washington never gave this court proceeding much credibility, right. thank you for chris chris hunter from d w school. thank you. i'm address the city striker elling. holland returns to germany tonight for champions me clashed against his former club. proceed dormant all into scorn to 22 goals and 15 matches since leaving a dormant for city and the plaudits keep coming. he grace dormant with his majestic presence for 2 and a half seasons. now earling hollins returning to his once adoring fans there. this time playing for english champions. manchester city whose coach pet quality ola, is running out of ways to praise his star striker. his work ethic i arrive in the 1st is the one of the last to leave. he take care. his body

perfectly is who are located in the way he has to live as a professional. and i think you have the intention to to be better. those who thought hollins, time in england would be tougher than in germany have been wrong so far. his averaging almost $1.00 goals per game for city breaking scoring records left right and center. he's already got 17 in the premier league. that's just one less than the entire dorman team of managed in the bundis league of the season. and 5 of those came against stuttgart at the weekends. domains coach ed in tears. it is well aware of holland's threats. there are only positive and good emotions when we think about earling. but now he's play of manchester city. now he's scoring goals in a different shirt, and we have to stop him to morrow to school. got no prizes for guessing who got

city's winner in the reverse fixture. last month, a t one victory for the hosts. so now the question facing dormant is one that used to be asked by their buddhist league or opponents. how do you solve a problem like erling hollins? is this d. w? lie from berlin, coming up next, a news, asia government air striking me and mark hills, dozens of civilians rights group say it's a war cry that wipes the global response. been so muted. jerrod raid, we'll have that story anvil in just a moment time. monica jones will have a full international use update at the top of the with
