a mileage past and re imagine these teachings. 4 elements to gandhi's legacy starts january 28th on b, w ah, ah, this is the w news live from berlin, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski addresses the well the comic forum. in doves, he repeated his playful, more heavy weapon, saying that deliveries must arrive before the next russian offensive. also on the program, i'm leaving because with such a privilege,

road can't responsibility. responsibility to know when you are the right person to lead in. also, when you are not in a shock announcements, new zealand prime minister just send out, john says she's stepping down early. almost a year before her term is due to ah, i'm good. hello. as welcome to the program, ukraine's president flooding resilience, he has made an impassioned address to the world economic forum in davos, he called on western partners to speed up military aid to ukraine. cholenski also pay tribute to the victims of a helicopter crash near keith that claimed the lives of these $14.00 people, including the countries, interior minister and several children. he warned that tragedies are outpacing life

in ukraine and urged western countries to deliver military supplies before the next russian offensive. at the annual gathering of world leaders and divorce, one issue was always going to dominate the agenda. delivering his speech by a video, link, ukrainian, president floaty. may zalinski, found a poignant way to remind the audience of the victims of russia's invasion. i hope you enjoy the memory of aaron darcy, loss when a minute. he then waste a little time urging the world community to speed up the supply of weapons to ukraine. didn't ha, no free will. he was to thing is used by later is to killer on

his he saw the whole ha, me next normalization. all our enjoying and the supply you ran, we're to fast systems mom out please rational miss allen. days this applies always maintained must be another invasion. russell debt with russian force is still deep in ukrainian territory. the lens is desperate for western main battle tanks to help push out the invaders. keith is especially keen on the german made leopard to a powerful tank in use in over 20 countries. under like, international pressure has been growing on berlin to drop its re export veto, and to donate some tanks itself. german chance lo love show it's reiterated his country's support for ukraine at the world economic forum. in order for the war to ent rush, us aggression must fail. that is why we are continuously supplying ukraine

with large quantities of arms in close consultation with our apartments. we are not just already stayed clear of making any commitments on tanks. or many observers believe that shots will finally drop his objections at the meeting of ukraine's main backers at the ramstein air base in germany on friday nights are i asked the w's chief political correspondent. nina has a why the german chancellor may be willing to drop those objections as well all outside the german chancellor and you as president joe biden spoke on the phone on tuesday this week. and media now reporting that in that call shaws apparently showed himself open to leopard, to deliveries, provided that the u. s. deliver their abrams tank. now we here in berlin, i've been speculating for a while about just why it will have started so hesitant in this issue. he absolutely wants to avoid being drawn into this conflict. he wants to keep

a small door open just in case vladimir putin shows himself willing to deescalate. and of course all i've shown is under a lot of pressure from his own party. there is a strong anti weapons delivery group there. but the most convincing reason seems to be that he only wants to take such a step together with us. but washington just doesn't seem to be willing to do that . apparently there would be maintenance issues with the abrams tank long training, parents, et cetera. so from the s we're hearing that they don't want to give you kind something that doesn't really help them right now, nato chief. yes, stoughton barker also said the alliance would provide heavier and more modern weapons. how realistic is that now on that issue? everybody, of course, is having their eyes on the meeting of international defense ministers at cum stain, military base here in germany, tomorrow on friday, where ukraine's partners will coordinate military support of the country against russia's aggression. and we're expecting 2 things. one,

there are hints at germany might that give its consent, at least so that other countries can deliver left to tanks. we just heard that poland, for example, as asked for that. but german export rules for war material are very strict ebony has to give its green night air for german made will material to be re exported to other countries. and so we might see some countries setting up a coalition to jointly deliver combat tanks. but it's not clear where the germany itself would deliver left at twos, and then to the u. s. is reported to be finalizing a huge military aid package for ukraine, where they would sense striker combat vehicles, but not tags. well, maybe we will learn more about those issues today when germany is new, defense minister boys to stories will receive his u. s. counterpart lloyd austin, 4 talks in berlin. what can we expect from well, the 2 will be preparing tomorrow's meeting and you have to keep my japanese defense

minister. his story is only starts his job to day after his predecessors step down this week because he just made too many mistakes. so he's had very little time to prepare, but he's not a new be. he knows a security policy has a military experience. he is also a charles ally like his predecessor, but many here in berlin. and now hoping that his stories might be more outspoken when it comes to communicating germany strategy regarding military support for ukraine. because the chancellor himself is leaving most people, japanese partners and especially the public in the dark. a lot of the times about his reasons. and that, of course, risks undermining germany's own ambition to be considered a leading power internationally. to put it mildly, chief political correspondent, lena has of there. thank you, nina. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines. the travel, russia, head of china's new year holiday has begun. millions of people are criss crossing
