a surprise visit to the northeastern ukrainian city of hockey. not far from the front lines. our book held talks with a ukrainian counterpart and toured several critical infrastructure sites including a power station and a children's hospital. cranes. infrastructure has been under increasing attack from russia. voc paid tribute to the incredible stamina and courage of ukrainians are corresponded. max tonda has accompanied annalee to barbara. he is still in hockey, even joins is from the mess. tell us more about mailbox visit. why was she there? right, so the german foreign minister actually followed the invitation by her ukrainian counterpart, collaborate to show a different part of the country apart from key if that has been visited by foreign a heads of state and top level politicians are quite frequently in the past. she's actually the 1st foreign guest who have come to hockey for a region that's

a big shelter, almost on a daily basis. a town that has ross city. i rather the has been largely destroyed that has been besieged for quite some time. is dealing with serious issues a with it's critical infrastructure. and this also one of the points, i'm one of the, the, the, the points of her visits a, to raise the attention for the consequences for the critical infrastructure. here for the situation with, with power, with heating with water and got by book came with a promise, a package she pledged which includes transformers and generators to help out with blackouts that plague this town. as well as 20000000 euros in the mining funding. cuz the point here was that reconstruction cannot wait until the end of the war, but it has to be started. now, what did the foreign minister say max about to delivering german tanks to ukraine?

right, so that is a quite a controversial issue, not just tyranny crane, but even more so perhaps in berlin, where the coalition government cannot decide on sending heavy tanks to ukraine so far. so the journey, 4 minutes on the battle stated that she is in support of everything that can help liberate ukraine and as she is in favor weapons deliveries. in fact, she said that german weapons can't have the potential to save lives, so she will continue to, to put pressure in berlin to try and make this happen. that the government will enable german arms or during tax to be sent, or perhaps even itself, since german tax, the ukrainian, a foreign minister was a bit during the statement here was

a bit more optimistic if you can use that were in that context. and he said, we don't want these tags to write up and down on the street in them. we need them to liberates our territories. and he also said that he believes that the german government, he down knows this and eventually will come around. so it's just a matter of time until leopard 2 tanks will actually be delivered to ukraine in his opinion. next, thank you very much for now, did of his max. it's under there in hockey. and for more let's bring in our political gorgeous minor catherine lank's. here in berlin. katherine, why did angelita bow bach travel to ukraine now? well this was quite a surprise visit by the german foreign minister and lin babbled. and it was also quite a symbolic one. and its aims definitely to show the support for ukraine. we have to bear in mind that there are mounting fears that russia might launch another offensive in the coming months. and this also raises the pressure. and also the stakes were western governments, at least show support. but much more importantly,

it is a question of delivering more weapons and more tanks. now, berlin has been under pressure a massive pressure to provide ukraine with more weapons including tanks. how is olaf shoals is government responding to that pressure? well, the pressure in germany is increasing more and more to send more tanks, heavier tanks to ukraine, and we remember only shortly germany, the u. s. and friends have a great to send lighter tanks, but so far, no specific battle tanks have been on that delivery list. but this is what you can have been asking for. what specifically one of the german manufactured layer port 2 tanks. and this is not only a tank that germany has it also, there are other european countries that could sent them, but germany still needs to agree because they are german manufactured. so as a matter of fact, the pressure in germany is increasing from all sides nationally,

but also internationally that germany, chancellor, all i've showed so far, still stressing what has been saying all along does not want to make any lateral decisions. he wants to wait for her and coordinated actions with germany's friends and allies. but however, it is also interesting to see that on the lena bear book has now traveled to ukraine because she has, since she has always been one with insults us government within his coalition to speak out in support, off the delivery of heavier tanks. so one could actually speculate that there might be some movement in this debate and there might be another delivery coming up potentially give us an inside katherine into the german government's resolve on this issue because there are 3 parties in the governing coalition. in germany, who do they agree on, on a position,

a common position with respect to providing weapons to ukraine? well, there's so far been a lot of tension, also within the government as to what to say and how much to send when to send. and now that germany has sent the martyrs, this of course has increased the pressure to send even more and heavier tangs that could make a difference in of the battle in ukraine and on the battle ground. gather. thank you very much. the w's katherine like is there are from our parliamentary studios, and rushes invasion of ukraine has also made victims of the youngest people. ukraine says 12000 of his children have been abducted from occupied territories and taken to russia. dw manuel shaws found one family for whom the separation has finally it reunited. at last,

oksana and her daughter uva. it's nearly a year since their last hugged asana is a combat medic for the ukrainians. but her brother is a separatist. while she was on the front line, he took his family and oxen as daughter to russia to understand how this was possible. we travel near pearl tavern, sentra ukraine. oksana moved here after her house in the east was destroyed by russian miss eyes. she preferred to not bring her daughter to our interview. oksana is still recovering from head injuries sustained in back mort on the front line. last september. i'm a widow oksana had left here, barbie's. her parents, somewhere she thought was safe over the mariners, had elusive, made the home when i was injured in all my possessions idea foam, you are burnt. i couldn't contact my family mediately in a shop. when i finally found an opportunity to call my mother,

will assist them in the complicated process to get them back. a beast, latoya car, mama's wagner, was started to organize the trips to russia of, to been contacted by mothers report and the abduction of their children. we organized the necessary documents and covered all expenses related to passports and translations, and then rearranged the travel itself. having to go through european countries than bella, luce, russia, and napa, and then return with the children. this time you took families origin will not from college arizona didn't way you could while he ever was in russia. oksana thought for the chance to talk with her that danielson ballier. eventually he gave me my daughter's new phone number and began to allow her to be in touch and to give her some internet. so i could talk to her sometimes 5 chef on that them i knew of. she ran to school there. she was treated well, but she constantly said, mom, i want to come home with her, what i don't show mom my or kitchen as and them we this dilemma. look santa no

longer talks to her brother. she hopes to go back to the front line that for now she anita, i'm making up for lost time. simon mistook goodness that that i did shouldn't offend wait altogether all day long, especially now that it's the holiday that communicates at hello sharon and lawton. take a look at a couple of other stories making headlines around the world. today. the world health organization has recommended mask wearing on long flights to full of fight, the spread of the latest omicron sup variant x b b 1.5. since the new year it has caused more than one in 4 cases of cove in the united states. the w h o says it's the most transmissible sub variant detected so far. and you, scientists have confirmed that europe had its 2nd warmest rec year on record. in 2022 temperature records were smashed in several countries on the continent and

extreme heat waves caused tens of thousands of excess deaths. the climate service added that worldwide. the past 8 years have been the 18 warmest on record. the trial has beginning greets of $24.00 humanitarian workers on charges relating to humans smuggling. the activists face several charges including espionage and can expect lengthy jail sentences if convicted. they deny the allegations, but the case has raise questions about how governments treat those who say their only aim is to save lives. a trial generating interest far beyond this court house on the island of less boss. $24.00 human rights activists were arrested on charges that included espionage. the defendants say, all they were doing was trying to help rescue refugees. one of them volunteer diver sean binder from ireland was detained in 2018. he's been eager to set the record

straight. we are desperate to go to trial because what we did with legal and we need the judge to acknowledge that we need to get through this because until then there is a shadow of doubt not over me alone, but over anybody who does search and rescue another of the defendant of sarah martini a syrian who fled to europe with her sister in 2015. their story was made into a netflix film, martinez know an aide worker helping other refugees in the human rights organization. amnesty international says the trial is a farce. it's calling on greek authorities to drop the charges. such malays, i'm should not be. it's a, it's a pot. them across europe. we've seen in other countries as well. the people who are, they are just to help her face the child as criminal or others. and therefore, to stay to death, such as you might see some greece, which saw more than

a 1000000 people arrive on its shores at the height of the migration crisis in 2015 says n g o helping migrants are encouraging more to come. the lesbian trial again, raises the question of how europeans nation should respond when people risk their lives for a chance, an asylum. earlier i spoke with francisco girl maya, a journalist who works on the island of less. but she told me more about why these aid workers are on trial. so yeah, it's been going on since 2018 effectively that sir. sir sean bender and sardine. we're actually also facing $100.00 days of imprisonment. and then there's $22.00 other humanitarian workers who are facing charges and it's so yeah, at the moment at this, it today, the worst of misdemeanor charges being handled,

including espionage and forgery which can carry up to 8 years in prison. so there's also another ongoing investigation overcharged as a people smuggling fraud, as mentioned before. and this can carry a sentence to up to 20 years. and to date a trial started and it will be continuing on friday. it's taking years for this trial to get started, how can we expect it to unfold? it is very hard to say at this point of time because yet there is, there is a, there's a, yeah, a lot of insecurity around the whole case. nobody knows why it's about how it will unfold on friday at to day and some of the it yeah. absorb ations from the lawyers could be heard inside of the court. the press was also allowed to be present. so we could follow the case today until 2 o'clock, great time. and then on friday it will be continued. so yeah,

we actually don't know how it will look like on friday. well, what, what can happen to the defendants if they are found guilty? so yeah, as it's been mentioned, they could face up to 20 years of imprisonment. i think it was a lot of human rights groups such as amnesty international. so the s m s. yeah, other human rights of service have said that it created an atmosphere of her yet fear to actually have work human a terribly on the greek coasts and are also another you countries and it's, it's, yeah, it's sparked with the an atmosphere of insecurity on working on this humanitarian issues facing migration have greek authorities criminalize c, rescue altogether. is there no room for cooperation with border forces? yes, it has been and severely reduced since 2018 and following also the following years

. so and the alan of less it was for example, where l the trial was held today and there's fairly any civilian see exception rescue operations anymore. however, the coast degree cause god is carrying out those session muskogee county and projects em. however, the, it's not really incorporation yet with any civilians, as rescued app on the ground and more francisco, thank you very much for filling us in on that there was journalist francisco grill meyer on less boss you brazil's president has found to identify and hold responsible. those behind sundays attack on the government district and the capital brazilian louisa. not your lula. da silva, was speaking after a mob supporting his predecessor julia bus narrow, ransacked the presidential pile of supreme court and congress building. we will also visit the scene of the violence or the president of governors and supreme

court judges joined together in a show of unity inspecting the damage to government buildings attacked by protesters a day before. at a meeting with governors, lula criticized the military for not trying to stop the demonstrators who are openly calling for a coo no, we are not going to allow democracy to be taken from our hands. it is the only way for us to guarantee that all the humble people living on the edge of society, sleeping on the streets, that they have the right to eat 3 times a day and the right to work under the watchful eye of police. supporters of former president, both so narrow, dismantled their 2 month old protest camp as ordered by the supreme court. but many remain firm in their opposition to the new president. law knows about this home. how can we let a person like lula govern the country?

am i supposed to live under communism? i was born under the green and yellow flag and i will die for it. if would asked the vocal more. but other brazilians are equally vocal and their support for their elected government. turning out by the thousands for pro democracy rallies. and so paolo and other cities, they're also angry and are demanding accountability. these people have to be punished. the bosses have to be punished. so people who have funding them have to be punished. brazil is how much bigger than what we saw the other day. those people do not represent brazil. we represent brazil. ah, some demonstrators chanted no amnesty. they don't want the government to brush this challenge to democracy under the rug. like what was done after brazil's military dictatorship in the name of reconciliation pro democracy protestors say that was

a mistake, which must not be repeated. leaders of the us, canada and mexico are holding the 2nd day of talks in mexico city. the 3 countries together make a 3rd of the global economy, so their cooperation is closely watched around the world known as the 3 amigos summit. the event is attended by u. s. president joe biden, canadian prime minister justin trudeau and mexican president, andras manuel lip. lopez, or adore monday's talks focused on illegal migration and drug smuggling, with biden, under pressure to end chaos on the us mexico border database. washington bureau chief in as paul is in mexico city, covering the summit force in us. we're hearing that the u. s. mexico have reached an agreement on migration policy. what does that entail? yes, indeed. so they're talking about that mexico will be willing to take $30000.00 migrants back into his country who crossed the border without papers. and that the united

states would be willing to take 30 thousands migraines, who are applying via an app actually, and flying into the united states. that sounds maybe like big figures, but you know, we have to have a little bit of a context here. last year alone, more than 2000000 migrants crossed the border to the united states and got encountered by the border control. that means they got detained or sent back to mexico. so these $30000.00 or so a microns is really only a very little figure and it's more symbolic than anything else. no, i understand the us, canada, mexico of also signed a treaty on racial equality in us. what does that aim to do? right, so the foreign ministers of all 3 countries of canada or the united states and mexico met yesterday and they signed this agreement by deb. this won't be

a huge topic during the leaders herb in between her lover lovers and our daughter president joe biden. and the prime minister from canada to door, they will mainly focus on migration issues that we just talked about. they will focus also on fighting the climate catastrophe, but also on the economy. their relations between the u. s. in canada are also getting attention at the summit. what are the most pressing issues there in us? you know, terry, we have to keep in mind the 3 countries, mexico, canada, and united states. they make one 3rd of the global g d p. so this is really a really powerful economic force. and the 3 countries went to kind of gain on that. they went to a work and getting more independent from china. they went to a work on producing more here in mexico for the u. s. american market. and for

the canadian market, so this will be also in the center of the summit, which is taking place right behind me. and why is that all 3 leaders are facing reelections, president biden, and lopez up to our door next year, intruder in 2025, and they are under a lot of pressure when it comes to economic problems. but also, as we said earlier about migration, so they really are in need to bring home some good news so they won't tackle too complicated issues, but they probably will assign some a economic agreements in us. thank you so much our, our washington bureau chief in as polar in mexico city. now, prince harry's memoir, spare has finally got on sale. after a flurry of interviews and a series of leaks added to the hype, readers thirsting for british royal gossip wasted no time in getting their copies.
