to a kindergarten. local police say children are among the debt and the european parliament elects a replacement for its disgraced vice president mark on of luxembourg takes over after greece's ever. kylie is ousted in a corruption scandal. ah, i'm pablo only as welcome to the program. ukraine's president has delivered a virtual address to the world economic forum in davis. after calling a minute silence for ukraine's war dead followed amir lansky called on western partners to move quickly to deliver military aid to his country. he said the supply of air defense systems must outpace russia's ability to carry out attacks. and he

stressed that decisions have to be made faster. let's take this entire pre roll uses to thing is used by the state to kill a for almost a year. these proved all our prompt actions brought positive results. organizational, the military organization, all our and join the supply. i know you are with your new fast systems mom, out to piece ross has met the supplies with, from 10 months out to be another invasion from tech. right. well, that's crossed now too diverse in switzerland, where i'm joined by deed abuse. ben physician, been great to see you. so how has president lansky speech been received?

well, it's the same speech over and over again. isn't it? i mean this former comedian as bird with the most serious job of his life, but every night he's giving these tv addresses and addressing the same, problematic that he isn't getting enough help and support and not enough quick enough support from the west. he said after a minute silence in this speech that he's short of time and that the speech will be very short and that time is of the essence of the. the clock is ticking for the ukrainians they, they a desperate to get their message across the ukrainians i've spoke to. here are still so confident they're going to get that help, but it's not coming quick enough. i think who really brought the message home was his wife, the 1st lady of ukraine, alina slid, sca, and she said that this poly crisis where, facing at the moment, the cost of living crisis, the energy crisis, recession such high debt,

all comes back to one factor the war in ukraine, and if that was ult, maybe we wouldn't have such a hard economic battle that we're facing right now. but the fact is, the economic situation, the geopolitical situation, has been totally shifted. and the cards re shuffled by one man in the kremlin. vladimir ben, we'll be back to you in just a moment. but 1st we're going to take a look at another area which was at german chancellor. all of shells has pledged continued military support for ukraine in his address to the world economic form in davos shelters, under increasing international pressure to allow for the transfer of german made leopard 2 tanks to ukraine at demand. the chancellor did not pick up on in his speech that cyclists russia has already failed to completely in reaching its

imperialist gods. ukraine is defending itself with great success and impressive courage abroad international alliance let by the g 7 is providing the country with financial, economic, human, italian, and military support. germany, a long made available over 12000000 euro last year. and we will continue to support ukraine for as long as necessary. but in order for the war to ent rush us aggression must fear. that is why we are continuously supplying you green with large quantities of arms in close consultation with our partners. all right, we're going to go back to ben physician who's standing by for us in davos. ben, we just heard there at from chancellor shouts, present, zalinski ask specifically for tags. i sort of mentioned that before, but tell us, did shells really deliver on,

on what's landscape is asking for no, he didn't. or someone in the audience asked why hesitate? why wait? and, and it's germany's partners who were also putting the pressure on all i've showed it's the lithuanian, latvian and polish presidents all are in talks here yesterday, a polish house where i was a and desperate to get them message through to germany that these heavy tanks, a strategic right now to winning this war and perhaps ending the war and bringing about peace on j dude at the polish president said it's very, very, very, very needed this decision. his lithuanian counterpart said it's a very strategic factor in this war and we're seeing a weapons coming from all parts of the world. but it's these tanks that are so strategic. germany is not allowed to produce them to be are stored or

stock piled according to law. so it's left with this conundrum that it has to coal on its partners to also supply the tanks that it has made. and these tanks, the said to be the best that the west has to offer. so they also don't want these tanks falling into the wrong hands. they don't want russia stealing this technology or passing it on to china is some analysts worry about. and germany does not want to be dragged into this war bent. clearly the topic of ukraine has been central to davosto sierra, but did sholtes actually focus on any other areas in a speech? well, he only touched on ukraine a very brief, and then went on to his business case. he's here in davos, of course, talking to the global leads, the c o's who make such huge decisions and his counterparts from all over the world chief economists as well. and as we see alliances shift, and as we see,

some countries pull production out of certain countries like china, for example, the us wanting to make more back in america. germany also wants to show the world that it is a reliable partner and that it's also a green partner, a green tech partner at the moment. ah, renewables have taken on so much more importance here, but short says by 203080 percent of energy will come from renewables. climate activists will say that so too far away. but germany is certainly in a transition. again, if you are take a leaf out of a page out of the speech from an lensky speed is of the essence. thanks pat. benfor zealand endeavors. well, a helicopter crash in ukraine has killed at least 14 people,

including the ukranian interior minister, dennis at monastery scare sky, the helicopter, carrying the minister and other officials went down in the city of bravery, just outside the capital. keith official say it hid a kindergarten and an apartment building as a fell, several children are among but at a building a blaze. moments after the crash, emergency services were quick to the scene. it's not yet clear what caused the helicopter to fall from the sky. that the moment was won't be no. what present is that the helicopter fell to the ground between the kindergarten on a residential building in the town of brewery was awarded with a shoe on board. the helicopter operated by the state emergency service was where 9 people was. among them. the leadership of the interior ministry sort of miss gate of islamist excellent wishes interior minister,

denise modesty ascii as well as his deputy and other officials are among the dead away. they were believed to be on their way to the front line. when the helicopter came down in foggy conditions. one eye witness said that the pilot seemed to try to avoid buildings as the helicopter came down. and everybody love you. so me my think that he chose the smallest target those move because there was a 2 story building there. and here there were 10 floors, you know, the pilot made heroic effort. you would, you, if you give us to, he flew the helicopter to the smallest place. he did the best he could. them to view them or investigate is already looking into the incident which presidency lensky has dubbed a terrible tragedy. while russia has the world's largest arsenal of tactical nuclear weapons, and the success of ukrainian forces on the battlefield has led to fears that moscow

might retaliate with a new care attack this week on conflicts own. tim sebastian spoke with russian security expert to miti trenton and asked him whether the kremlin my carry out a nuclear 1st strike present. not so long ago, raised the question whether o russia, nuclear doctrine should be revised to allow for but the very fact that he arranged the issue a sin suggests that there's something done about that. it's the whole business, the whole war in your brain is existential. for russia, the countries that are trying to win a war adjuster, nuclear supa, need to need to think about the potential of

nuclear becoming, becoming used in that conflict. one way or another. i would be kathy right when you can see the full conflicts own interview with dimitry training right after this program and around 15 minutes or so or online at t w dot com, forward slash conflict some. alright, well let's have a look now at so more headlines from around the world. israel supreme court has ruled that prime minister benjamin netanyahu must fire a key from his new cabinet. the court found that are yet steady head of the ultra orthodox shaft party was disqualified from serving as a minister as he was convicted last year for tax offenses. the ruling presents nathan yahoo with a potential coalition crisis. she's going to new phillip tokyo's high court has upheld the not guilty verdicts of 3 former power company executives over there, row row, row in the fukushima new pier disaster. a lower court had previously cleared the 3

made her an enemy of the former president rodrigo to teddy. it's not the end of the war for nobel prize winner maria arrest. but she has won a significant battle. speaking outside court, she struggled to hold back tears. but could they fax when truth, when justice, when major emotional reza co founded the online news side rattler and used it to expose philippines? president rodrigo detached, a alleged abuse of power and growing authoritarianism. you tapped a tried to discredit rattler. rest of says he weaponized the philippines judicial system against her and her associates. the 59 year old has been battling a series of cases filed due to her vocal criticism of the former president.

these charges, as you know, were politically motivated. they were incredible to us a brazen abuse of power and meant to stop journalists from doing their jobs. he still faces 3 other criminal cases, including a cyber libel, conviction, currently on appeal to which he could be sentenced to nearly 7 years in prison. european union, though makers have elected a replacement for a scandal. his vice president who is facing corruption charges mark ongoing is from luxembourg and a member of the parliament left of center socialists and democrats groups. he was also backed by the parliament to other largest parties. its predecessor greek, m e p. ever. kylie is one of 4 people with linked to the parliament who were under

criminal investigation and facing charges, including money laundering, t w's, alexander phenomena, had the chance to talk exclusively to the newly elected vice president mark angle. so that listener vice president, congratulations on you election to day. what will be your priorities for the european parliament in your new position? thank you very much for the credit relations. my priorities will be of course, to be a team player in that bureau. but in the given circumstances, also try to be a champion of transparency and anti corruption with the other colleagues together. and of course, you know, i'm a social democrat, so i know where a come from and am an auto and very active member in the employment and social affairs committee to social europe is also something which is important to me. and i am a fierce defense of the union of equality and you know, equality glasses, you can always wear them when whatever portfolio or the president of the parliament will attribute to me. so we will see it. i hope they choose approach value which

fits to me, but you know, i'm adaptable. i've had a bit of experience already also in national politics for many years. so i am ready to take challenges and the election was necessary because your predecessor ever kylie was removed from that post. she is one of the suspects in ab corruption, scandal doubt, katara gate. and in fact, a number of former and incumbent barbara, members of parliament from your group of socialists and democrats, are under investigation. do you have a problem in your group? i cannot say that this happened outsider group. it happened in our group. and this is why our group reacted from day one very proactively took measures. and we know that we have to do homework to. we are having an eternal inquiry. i, our group leadership will inform over at the press about the mandate of it and how we organize it. we are aware that we have to do homework,

but i don't think we have, we have been betrayed by some of our members. but the whole group or cannot be compare to this few, could few criminals if it's, if the justice will, will prove that they have done something wrong, but it looks like it, but that's the justice to, to, to do their work. but yes, it happened in our group, but it doesn't mean that the group is a problem as a whole. some lawmakers, however, 1st and foremost, the greens had demanded for your group to give up this vice president host because of the scandal. why was that not an option for you and your colleagues? because that would have said that we all guilty and we are not all guilty we feel betrayed. yes, we are betrayed by a few of our colleagues, sir, but the whole group is a proud social democrat group. this was a at post which we had before. and i think we want to continue doing our work in the bureau. it's important at social democrats, i and

a bureau because we are the progressive forces. also, we want to have a better euro been a thinker. i am very happy that we took that decision not to give up because that would have been assigned that we are, that were, that the whole group is not good and the good is a very and proud to be a member of that group. i'm ashamed that the scandal happened in our group. yes, i feel betrayed. we are all very upset. not only the emmy piece, our whole team, our collaborators, they are very upset about what happened. and we know that we have to work very hard now. now there is a discussion underway on which new rules against corruption should be in place are what are your proposals? well, we have a fantastic resolution which was voted in december and that's already a fantastic roadmap. and this resolution was voted by a huge majority of this parliament, and i hoped at colleagues if they vote for something they mean it also an, this resolution is like a real roadmap where we can see what we have to do. for instance, for instance,

work on the transparency register, a lot of points have an inquiry committee. have a make sure that we get, we put to commission and accounts or to join that we get the european ethics body. this is for example, or something where we need to touch the institution of agreement, which we cannot decide ourselves. but there's a lot of things that we can decide ourselves that we can say, listen, we have to also make it mandatory that you meet people from 3rd countries that you put that, that is transparent, that you say with whom you met. i mean, i, i don't want us to be a locked in and talk to nobody. it's important that we talk to lobbyists to environmental and g o z to trade unions to representative of interest. she chamber of commerce is, you know, this is, this is, this is our work, but we have to tower to it's. it's not as i don't see any problem to say with whom you taught. switched to, to talk to others. and it's no problem to show to him. you talked thank you very

much. you're very welcome. yad vashem is the world holocaust remembrance center in israel. this year. it turns 70 and it's holding commemorative events around the world, including here in germany, situated on the mount of remembrance in jerusalem. yad vashem explores the the matic and chronological history of the holocaust. the centers chairman danny diane, one said he would never set foot in germany, but since reversed that decision, he'll soon accompany an exhibition of artifacts from the holocaust being put on display in the bonus tag. that's the german parliament here in berlin. and he told our correspondent rebecca ritters about his reasons for changing his mind here. or there is an interesting, deuced addition, not many just do it these days, but that still exists. the objects that keep it small part of the wall in the apartment, in their home not painted. why?

in order to remember the destruction of jerusalem, 2000 years ago, every time they see, they remembered that generals, that it was destroyed, 2000 years ago than the temple was destroy. that's the reason i did it. it's my staying on the, on the wall. and when i look at the map of the place as a visitor, they see a white stain on the map of europe with germany. and i remember why i don't visit germany. it's to kip, to give my respect to the 6000000 jews that were murdered. but the same reason that prevented me from visiting germany this day is there isn't. that brings me to germany now as chairman of a ship. because as chairman of the other bush and by visiting germany, i have the ability to amplify remembrance of the shore to amplify the respect that the spade to the victims. not only on a personal basis, but also to

a much larger base in my larger basis. because it will be reported that seeing that and exhibition will be seen by many persons. so it's basically the same decision. the circumstances changed, not my decision. when you can find the full interview with yad vashem chairman danny diane, on our youtube channel, or watch it later here on teach of you. well, it's the mission of yad vashem to make sure that the hires of the holocaust are never forgotten. and most israeli school children visit yad vashem to learn about what happened to millions of jews under the nazi regime. did of you joined one group on their visit, learning about the holocaust it he and the sham israel's holocaust memorial in jerusalem. young israelis like this group of friends, h, 13 to 16. find out more about the holocaust or the showa as it's known in israel, from that and family history. but also 3, the annual memory ill services and in school, where

a visit to yan fish am usually caused by the age of 14. i think bringing here young students, my age, teenagers, and how many people to come and see it and realize, and on social media or facebook insta is much better coming and seeing and in person to experience the whole museum here with the photos. it's much more meaningful, it's connecting you to your roots and has a very big effect at the heart of the remembrance center of the individual stories of the victims and the horrors of the showa. but the center also deals with the nazis rise to power and anti semitism. an issue that is just as relevant to day. nearly 80 years after 6000000 jews were murdered by the german nazi regime. most survivors are no longer alive. but bringing back history and stories close to the younger generation remains important. i think was jessica or jasmine. i think

that as time passes, the question is why is it important? why is it interesting for me that why is it relevant? soon? we won't have anyone who can come and say it happened to me, but i won't be able to say it happened to my grandfather or to grandparents of kids in my class. this demand from yoga sham and from israeli society. and from every one dealing with it to think and redefine why it's important, why it's relevant. so lemme the devante at the very end of the memorial, the whole of names each gives a face and name to the victims. most of them never received a grave to remember them. 4 and a half 1000000 names have been discovered so far, but many remain unknown even to this day. anymore to start dig on this,

i was very surprised by how it's constructed. and from the explanation we got that it's built like this on purpose and the shape, it really helps to experience the place lucretia hala power searching down. so it's my 1st time in the museum, the old chair. it's interesting to see that it doesn't only focus on the holocaust or is it but really about how it all started last require you will be like, we were told it starts from people. is m a t m, from actual people. and it's important to remember that sure is kosher. i'm ashamed, mr. fortune to. well, that is the aim of yan vash. m. it's name means a memorial and a name for every victim, a commitment to keep them memory alive for future generations. robert, here is a reminder of our top story. ukrainian president followed amir zalinski has delivered a virtual address to the world economic form and davis. he called on western

partners to move with speech in delivering military aid to ukraine, saying that delivery of air defense systems must happen before another russian attack. right, you are up to date conflicts out is up next and i'll be back again at the top of the next hour. thanks watching taker ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah.

just as the west begun the dialogue, there's been demanding with, [000:00:00;00] with an exclusive interview with donnie, dionne director of the yacht shim holocaust memorial. you found that you would never visit germany. what are your expectations? we have to think together. how to continue to keep the flame of all of those 3 member alive. now he's visiting germany for the very 1st time. the exclusive interview with donnie di today at 2315 u. t. c. on dw departure into the i know today this meets flying to
