say and continues to spot concessions to far ra lawmakers. the coffee is the 1st candidate in a century to face multiple ballots chide that cannot move on to any other business until a speaker is chosen. this is d w. news from berlin for more news and analysis. you can always go to a website to be found at d w dot com. ah, after more than 10 months of relentlessly pounding ukraine, destroying vital infrastructure and killing thousands of innocent civilians, vladimir putin has ordered his troops to hold fire. not for good, that is for 36 hours to mark orthodox christmas. his decision follows an appeal by the head of the orthodox church who, outside the holiday season staunchly supports potent attack on ukraine. officials in ukraine are unimpressed to them. there can be no truce with russian troops illegally occupying their territory. keeps lamps,

the move as propaganda and says moscow can keep its epoxy to itself. i'm nichol further him, berlin, and this is the day. ah, so we talked about the war between russia and ukraine in detailed dogs. we see that russia has mobilized many new soldiers around to says and suffering. forty's. and so for the prison ukraine, for the orthodox christmas, $106.00 of us, your reactions are responding to the service. i think he's trying to flash marsh ah, also coming up around attains a prominent shaft known for promoting persian cooking. now bob abraham,

he has reportedly been taken to the notorious evan prison, his video of persian cutlets seemingly was them to the taste of the authorities. as iran was marking the anniversary of an army commanders, death and a u. s. drone strike president vladimir putin has ordered a unilateral 36 hour truce in his country's war on ukraine. the ceasefire will take place from the 6th to the 7th of january over the russian orthodox christmas period . the kremlin says boot and made the decision after an appeal from the head of the russian church, patriarch curial lasting truce earlier to day ridge of time or 2 on called on food and to agree to a unilateral cease fire. he contacted both the russian president and later president zalinski by telephone or dawn offered to mediate what he described as a lasting peace. the turkish leader has made several such offers in the past and was instrumental in negotiating a landmark deal that allows ukraine to export millions of tons of grain

and cave responded rapidly to the suggestion of a truce with potent calling rushes announcement hypocrisy, and demanding a full withdrawl from ukraine's occupied territories. mikaela polak, an advisor to the ukrainian president, tweeted the question, why will it be impossible to make a deal with the russian federation? answering that under the word talks, prudent expects ukraine and the world to recognize it's right to seize foreign territories and secure the absence of legal consequences for mass killings on foreign territory. he concludes it's fully an acceptable, a sentiment shared by many ukrainians will deal with it shall be believed. the russians global news on the one hand, they've given their blessing to the war and to kill, you may be new boot. and on the other hand, they want to present themselves as the nation. this, when did it came through? when you get there still do the same useful. i think this is not

a hypocrisy special a little here. yoga edition of all on the 21st of december there was no peace when we were bombed on new york. oh, yes, those were so we're live. it's hypocrisy on put inside of brook rossi wide, north go was didn't rouse cooper. this is just a pretty candy wrapper, which russia uses to present itself as a country that wants to in the conflict without actually doing anything with or unusual. so this is all the lie. once again, in my opinion, more new government, i suited more of the one the more because i can just say this drawing away, but actually they'll continue to shell us with drawings and other way pennies. lots of talk about let's do that with dr. james glenn. our dr. rickland good to see you again. a 36 hours these fire ukraine says it's all about grassy and propaganda. what do you make of him? i agree with the grade that you just each that i didn't see any strategic or moral reason that ukraine should should agree to the ceasefire one because it's not in

the interests right now. and executions. good. secondly, i don't think it's impossible to believe the russians. there's been a litany of a failed sci fi as a nation, for example, maria, pull back in march when the russians agreed as he's fire and then showed the refugee voice heard, i think that this even the offer of those he's fine now is part of the russian propaganda drive the idea that russians and ukrainians are both one people and therefore they celebrate christmas on a different day. however, now increasing the particular this ukrainians are starting to larry christmas on the 25th of december, just to create even more distance between themselves and russians. culture huge, of course, is understandable. and then for just the hypocrisy of economy, they do country infrastructure and then demand the sci fi, if they work on that much, they're welcome to leave with ukraine,

categorically rich, best thing i think they probably will. and we need to think about will that she means maybe unilateral sci fi would be rather partial. i'm sure you to implement a sci fi, of course, show you is an army and not the only ones fighting. we also have free versions. bankruptcy, the back, no mercy reason, newly released criminals. and do you have the d n, a atlanta fighters and already denise shaelyn, who's the head of the dumbass of the people's republic. sorry. he has already said that is completely out. so already we can see that fine, perhaps the russian army will be shooting, but is plenty of other until ragtag and see who will be. yeah. and with ukraine not being a part of this very partial,

as you explain and unilateral cease fire. and when you crane and of course, still try and regain as legitimate territory, even in those 2 days, would that give russia a pretext to paint ukraine? and it's western supporter, as, as part of part of one of the reasons why it's, it's included. and i think the important thing here is, i mean, who is always better than war war, but at the same point needs to be fought about. i think there are lots of people in countries are definitely sort of supporting ukraine. but there are people in western countries or perhaps even politicians who think that it's possible to go back to some sort of status quo that existed in the 23rd of february. but that's the disco is completely shattered. it's not possible to go back that it's not possible to do business in order to trust him in any way. so there's not really that much. now, there's not much to negotiate. i think,

as the war ha draws on. and perhaps if the story is reached, that might be a different conversation. but that's not the conversation that we're having now. but president or dawn of turkey does want to negotiate, right? he called on russia today before all of this was announced to declare a unilateral cease fire. he talked to the lansky, he talked to food, absolutely for ukraine. so where do you think he plans to begin mediating as he's offered a really important point there your question, which is the given putins on sort of red lines as the pieces they were on the ukraine recognize disease. so the forty's plus premieres is russian, and given that russia never controlled a war since i sent one any of some hearts of suff regional lesson, some parts of her. so not last for example. i mean this is just completely is just

completely unrealistic, completely impossible. nobody would agree to that. so really, as long as he's pushing that light, it's very hard to see how he may say on the one side of his mouth. oh, yes, american to negotiations. but if that's the condition then then he then he's not because that's just not realistic on of course the line from here has hardened considerably as well. we think back to march. so i don't really think anybody's in the mood for making concessions. that said, it's not a bad idea if we think back to the success of the green deal. it is not a bad idea. so many contingent issues from the war a consult some of those dr. deborah glenn, as always, great speaking to you, things now to a change of hard ukraine will surely feel better about germany and the usa. they are prepared to send armored vehicles to ukraine for crane in its defense against russia's invasion, the u. s. ascending bradley fighting vehicles,

germany has been under mounting pressure to deliver battle tanks and infantry finding vehicles long sought by cave, especially after france agreed to supply light tanks to ukraine yesterday. the as individual nato countries step up, their military support of kia, the alliances chief says he believes there's been no change and let them rip otens goal to take over ukraine in stoughton berg told an audience in his native norway that it was dangerous to underestimate russia said willis, and to some more of what he had to say, saw it only 3 o'clock. so the reality is good. and that if we want a peaceful, negotiate solution that what you crank and remained an independent democratic nation in europe and the clock, we have to support your cray now always stop fuqua level weapons or the road to peace, hard volume contrib. although it is dangerous or to become dependent on authoritarian regimes or so, politics are also politic the garden, this whole is

a more dangerous world. and it is even more important that we offer video stores. hellman and i can now speak to christine verbena. she is the managing director of the german marshall fund north and joins us tonight from washington to siemens frizzing. a good to see a thought broke says weapons are the way to peace. now that france the u. s. and germany are providing armored vehicles and patriot missile system developments to get to a reality that is better for ukraine, which is necessary to get to a piece negotiation table at the end. in those remarks, discussion of the fact that yes, most wars end of the negotiation negotiating table, but it's important for ukraine to have successes in order on the battlefield before you get to that table. and that's what these weapons are about. there's a lot of warnings also, what he said about having p current is, is that russia has to lose. that is, is something that many were well,

western leaders around people or the world, or perhaps less comfortable with. yes, you cream should do well. it should have, and this is really if false dichotomy, russia needs to lose, so that other bad actors, ones that do not want there to be a rules based international order. actors that want military light and power to be the defining feature on the world stage. again and perhaps china's attempt, the new crane fall out, which means effectively that rational needs to lose. goldberg is not using those words, but it's incredibly important for the right lessons to be learned. and this is not just about russia, but about everybody else as well. but there doesn't seem to be unanimity on that among even nato allies. does there? what do you make? turkey isn't a very particular position in 2023. there is an important election coming up this year and president air to one and one where we see for president early one flexing his muscles is on the international stage. so you see here, i think

a bit of the tension between domestic policy politics. really i, you know, at the election box and the big picture. it would be so much more efficient for the, the good of nato as to be the fighting feature of all nato ally leaders, political decisions and their strategies. but that unfortunately isn't often the case. and so of course, there's tension across data was, well, yes, support for ukraine. but how far that goes in each country, and how do personal stakes and personal election outcomes, for example, the case of turkey play into that? well, that's a different story. how much does that we can the alliance when it has been doing a very good job, i think that it is still fairly coherent. there are these, you know, bubbles that come up across the alliance. and here perhaps we're seeing one too,

but we have been with turkey playing a very unusual game, but not for the 1st time in history between the alliance of such and russia. and when we look at, for example, the finished swedish b to enter nato, turkey seems to be also the outstanding countries with hungry. but turkey want to be strong in the context of nato and prism area. want think it's very important also for you to get to the both that he need to show himself as being a strong after and not just a push or push over or a follower in the context of the alliance. touched on a lot of topics today. he also talked about dependencies on all 3rd here in states . are countries in the you and beyond, in your opinion, doing enough to not repeat them is frederick that we have seen after russia in terms of their or warning signs. and you know, in germany, even the titan venda, and the understanding of maybe it's not just about russia. some of them haven't. pages are convenient, not to think about what you're buying when you're buying good from an autocratic

country. but you're often buying relationships. you're buying perhaps at the same time you do not think about what could happen to a merger or a partnership down the line that you have been putting lots of new suggestions on the table about how these things should be worked out. but it just opened up to the countries of the us. so to put this into place and one thing, and one thing is how do you do this moving forward? thing ok from today we're going to be more careful with a chinese investment. but what has already happened, and that's to make sure that they are being as marked and forward looking for strategic reasons. and in the economic space on critical goods that maybe you're inclined to be opening these books and looking, looking under the rug as much as many stillberg and others would like this. of course it is a complicated matter. excellent analysis, christine bra,

xena the german marshal. fun, thank you so much for that. thank you. for months after a wave of protest started rocking around, the regime has reportedly detained a prominent chef known for his videos promoting persian cooking. navarro, every user said the arrest coincided with him posting a recipe to make persian cutlets just as iran marked the 3rd anniversary of the killing of general post them so long images of cutlets in reference to the manner of his killing in the u. s. drones drank in iraq and those just a day after a rainy northwood or showed her celebrating her release. the oscar award winner was arrested nearly 3 weeks ago. after criticizing a crackdown on anti government protests, she posted at least and we can now speak to son of neurology under laney. she's the founder and ceo of the international civil society action network. good to see that she could not be intimidated. know a job showing the victory sign to she's then for

a generation that has lost all fear of the regime. so a and being such a prominent person, it's certainly, you know, it makes the headlines obviously. so it is about coming out and showing a she's out of prison, but that doesn't mean she's safe. does it? what do you think is next for her? i mean that this is, this is the way that the regime has always played that, that now big you a t about about how people are really treated and, and, you know, going back to, to the point about the celebrity chef the fact that we have chefs and directors, an actual, um, is really is an indication of the sign of weakness, of the regime. and, and i'm, and i think each of these instances actually gives in case of nevada every me because it seems almost absurd. that one thing would be connected to the other, doesn't it? well it's, it's as you know, in the social media sphere and it's,

it's just this very sort of ham handedness of the only tool they seem to have is to, is to threaten an arrest and, and use use threatened violence. and it's a big, it consistently seems to delegitimize them even further. so as you said, you know what? and they're still out there. and her an alley dusty was held in the notorious evan prison, and the brain is now said to be there as well. alongside many of the detained pro are held in so a, in talking to some of a human rights activists and others who are following these cases. so amongst the things that you know, there's over crowding over for aspects of women protesters if they don't comply and, and that's something that's really important to be bearing in mind. we've had a number of cases of people coming out with, with us in a prison near carriage. i decided to go on hunger strike because they want to have access to their own lawyers and an affair judicial process. so these things and says of execution, that sentences that are being handed down, those that are,

that are, you know, implicitly could be killed at any moment. and it's, and it's really important to keep the attention on those cases as well as the very long prison sentences that are, that are being issued. these, these are all the concerns that, that are ongoing. and again, have been just a tactics that, that, that there are enough international pressure or do you have a sense that, you know, after a 1st wave of solidarity, it is now slowly dying down i, to be honest with you, i think the amount map, sorry, the amount of international attention has been quite extraordinary and it's, you know, not only in the cultural amongst politicians and so forth. obviously over christmas it died down a little bit, but i think the appetite is there. i think the attention is there. and there's a real reason, i mean, that has been galvanizing people across gender and ethnicity and, and sex and so forth on the, on the message of on. and it's really critical to what's happening in your on. but it also has global resonance. and i think that's what's captured the world's

imagination to see these young young people to see these girls out on the streets to still there and, and we certainly needed to continue to be there. we only have about a minute left, but i do want to ask you about your opinion. we're now almost 4 months into these protests. where does the regime stand? i think we see it already the, the regime is, is struggling to know what to do. and, and they said it's a legitimacy question. and you know that the legitimacy has been waiting over decades and in a way and, and now they're dealing with the younger generation that, that's out there. it's, it's across the country in different provinces. and their responses have been so little, so late and, and just extraordinary to be over 500 people. they have been killed of the her job . and now, now we're seeing hominy come out and say something about, you know, if you're mad, you know, if you're wearing you about a job badly, it's not such a big deal. well, these, if they said this 4 months ago, maybe having lost credibility and legitimacy and, you know, and they,

they have the tools of violence and they are using their own method. so. so if he, if you think about the charlie have dough situation and, and the closing branch, you will have to long and there institutionally, running out of time on an oregon under laney, of the international. so he like ah, thing is is to good in b, c st george, near paris. this is nothing on each of the world's major religions, has its own place of worship it. it's a unique place of exchange hosting many inter religious services

because they were underestimated. and discriminated against that they have proven themselves female entropy knows an india what is the secret to their success? ah, what happens to be is with 60 minutes on d, w o. a scoring we say they're about giving up. sometimes books are more exciting than real life raring to read.
