permission also on the program? police class with demonstrate has in peru after thousands, travel to the capital lina to demand the poorest president step down. the ongoing political crisis has claimed more than 50 lives and actor alec baldwin is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter, a brief fatal shooting of a crew member on a film sit. he could face giles ah, i'm anthony. how walk into the program? us defense secretary lloyd austin will to thy host the lightest meeting of the ukraine defense contact group. now senior military commanders and other defense minister from keeps international allies will be present. the gathering at the u. s . ramstein airbase in the southwest, germany, and tough as the agenda will be,

how much more military equipment they will give you, crime in its continued fight against russian aggression and in particular tanks. now, earlier this month, france agreed to st. light, armored fighting vehicles. the am x a 10 r c are the countries including germany and the u. s. have also promised to st infantry fighting vehicles or light tanks. but as the modern battle tanks or heavy tanks that president zalinski is really fighting for the u. k has already announced able st. 14 challenger to battle. thanks. but so far the us has refused to commit the m one abrams citing logistical and maintenance problems. the real pressure, though is on germany to the night. it's leopard 2 tanks. they're seen as the best suited hardware and also the most widely available villains reluctance to do so. it means that other countries like poland can't then export their german, made leopards on to you crime. our 1st report explains why d grind badly,

needs more and better armor for the fight against the russian invasion a ukrainian base in the hockey region. the area has been under russian fire again since the weekend of tatiana high to moscow and her medical team are looking after this tank brigade. the men have been stationed here for weeks. more especially for michel. so i was good, isn't that these are russian project childs nearly every day and night. they fire at my colleagues and our ambulances at the moment. we only have 2 of these vehicles, at least this one survive. shannon hi to moscow inspects the vehicle they use as an ambulance. that has to hold out a while longer. there's no money to replace it. that worries her, they're more and more bullet holes. commission petition on necessary. some of these are all old cars that volunteers donated to rosters in mitchell and fedex. they buy

a cheap old cause then they bring them here and give them to us for delos at them. so yeah, we then repaired them all the time at a month to month or so because they keep breaking down. no. am i supposed to push gina? it's not just the makeshift ambulances, a tank officer, michael, a tempo is worried about the condition of his own vehicles. this was a more know we're fighting here with old tanks from the soviet union. listen, i'm spot with the same tanks. the russians have left with the court to have an advantage to break through the russian front lines. or we need more modern main battle tanks like the leopard to the tune of the china easily. so far his unit has been using old soviet t 72 battle tanks from the early 19 seventies. the tanks have seen a lot of use and some of them are badly damaged. hence the push to get leopard two's as soon as possible on so i them to go. i was lou there.

i'm sure our soldiers will master the modern technology. what the to the soldiers who have combat experience with the t 72, you will learn to master the leopard very quickly that they were told to do much with good in of chit. so we, what the, in the lower part, the soldiers here are waiting for russia to mount another major offensive. dr. high to moscow is going to stay here, though she could earn much more money and keith dominy switcheroo, i'm exhausted tired all the time. i'd like to go to my little daughter, he's waiting for me at home, but i know that the soldiers here need me more. even when i'm gone for a short time, i worry about how the men are doing denisha. then, on at this phase hopes that the new modern tanks will arrive soon ukrainian, president vladimir lensky has once again increased the pressure on germany, in an exclusive interview with german televi. and he repeated his call for the

rapid delivery of tex. more than that lamp are in plain language. can you deliver leopards are not living in this, but then hand them only a part of the thing? it's not like we're attacking. if anyone's worried about that by these leopards are not going to pass through russia. we're defending ourselves champs. earlier i spoke to the military expert and ortho tim ripley who was based in london. i asked him if the german leopard to tank, which president soleski desperately needs and is asking for, would make such a difference to the ball? yes, i mean the, at the moment the, the, as you report showed the ukrainians are using our old equipment and it's taking a heavy bathroom and we're just about to embark on a new season of fighting. the russians of saudis are advancing around bark. mood offensive is probably going to escalate very, very quickly. so this bottle is going to soak up hundreds and hundreds of more tanks and vehicles and artillery the ukrainians are going to take heavy losses and they need replacements to,

to come in to the battle to keep the fight going. so you know, we're in january now, so this was probably going to go on for for many, many months. and the last is the ukrainians. going to take a gonna be huge. so they knew that replacement equipment from the west to feed in to keep the fight go. we hear german, chancellor schulte says he'll send lippard to tanks only if the u. s cents abrams tanks, which thy side i won't, has the german chancellor found another way of stalling the decision. well, i mean, this is, this is a sort of famous and it is called a german war guilt thing that they don't want to be seen to be a going to war with russia by themselves. they want to be part of a nato and alliance a maneuver so they can't be accused of just as being a, just a german war move. so it's, it's a, it's a sort of a long held german issue with supplying weapons to conflicts. but, but in the americans have their own issues with supplying our arms and,

and heavy equipment allegedly present. barden made a deal with the chinese back in the school or spring that to try and head off chinese arms supplies. he promised that the, that the press, the prisoner china, that america wouldn't supply offensive weapons. fighter planes. tanks, attack helicopters, long range, cruise missiles. so the, the americans, the calibrating their response as well. it's not just the germans who have this issue about not wanting to escalate the war too much. right. and that's against that backdrop defense latest. we'll meet at the ramstein a base today on, on friday, u. s. secretary general austin is hosting. why do you think 2 of you crimes closest allies, the finding it so hard to agree on what is needed here? and is there a solution to break the deadlock? well, it's very clear that it amongst the western countries, there's no real clear consensus about how the war should end. i mean, yes, i mean every, everybody wants the ukrainians to keep to be able to defend themselves. but no one

is really clear about how the war ends. is there a peace treaty to the ukrainians, keep fighting until they can recapture all their last territory including crimea. i mean, if you're talking about a ukrainian defense that retails crimea, that's probably gonna end up with an endless war that will go on for years and maybe even the ukrainians won't be able to win it. so it's, it's, it's more problem that how people see this war ending. and that the, the uncertainty about that, which is, is not going to be resolved very soon. and that is, that is why, you know, people are really the trust western lines are reluctant to write a blank check to the ukrainians to give them what they want at the moment. before we go, what do you think the russian response would be if these tanks a delivered well, i think we're seeing the russian response before the tanks delivered. i mean, they're still there offensive now on tuesday and defense minister. so jo announced

that the russian army was going to form 12 new motor rifle and parachute divisions ready to, to be ready to attack. and they will be started employing their $300000.00 reserves to their my boards in the autumn. so their attack is unfolding now, and they are engaging their troops now. so they want to preempt the, the delivery of these, these, these western equipment, this even this 1st batch of western equipment. they, they see their window of opportunity to attack right now. and so in a, there's a famous phrase, the enemy has a boat, they are engaging in this battle to preempt the western deployment of arms to try and have get our position improved before these weapons arrived. so this was a dynamic and it's not going to be a very soon, i mean, there is talk about this being, this delivery being decisive. it will make a difference. it will keep the ukrainians fighting, but it's not going to end the war. military defense expert tim ripley. great to get

your input. thank you so much. you're welcome. and for more on this app correspondence on you found the car in keith told us why these potential tank deliveries are so crucial that the ukrainians ukraine now has for months specifically been asking for these german made lepper tanks to be sent to the front line to help at recapture territory, but also to fend off new russian advances. and there are experts here who do say these tanks will make a success, will make a difference on the battlefield because it will help ukrainian breakthrough russian defense positions. and really in the kind of trench warfare that we're seeing in the, in east and on bus region that is inflicted heavy losses on both sides. so in that context, present, lensky has criticized germany's hesitancy on supplying these tanks. and of course, the backdrop to all this is that concerns are growing in ukraine, that it only has a short window now to prepare for an anticipated russian offensive in the coming

months. we don't know where that offensive might be. it could come from the east russian defend you crate in defense officials also saying it could potentially also come from the north from bella, luce, lots of concerns there. so i think there is a growing sense of urgency. sure. yesterday, the defense and foreign ministers of ukraine put out a pretty strong statement saying that, you know, the threat of a full scale russian offensive was very real, that russia enjoys still enjoys a significant advantage in terms of troops and equipment. and that russia is determined to wage and active, active and long war. and that statement. it coincided with the arrival in key of yesterday of the president of the europe in called. so charles michelle, now i spoke to him yesterday here at a press briefing, and he said that, you know, he remains in favor of providing these heavy battle tanks to ukraine and insisted that the issue of these tanks will not really break europe in unity when it comes to supporting ukraine and said, you know, he was confident that the solution could be found in terms of the war and the very

bloody battles in the east of the country. you referred to. what's the latest we know will it? there have been reports for youth fighting in and around buckling with this is a very key city where we've seen some of the bloodiest fighting in this war for months now. and there are, there are claims now, but the russian private musson regroup, that they have taken over the village now a small than its south, west, off bucking ukrainian military has not reacted to those claims. this comes after, you know, russia says it has also made advances in a not done in assault mining town. solid are on the northern outskirts, off buckman. and i think all this now adds up to a picture off of, you know, a ukraine's control of both, both looking increasingly shaky and back move of course is absolutely key. russia is made of key to its campaign of, you know, pushing forward and occupying the anti don bus region. so i think we're likely to see a lot of escalation there. sonya found the code in case thanks so much will improve

i could actually show that you right suspected somebody put alive round with no, and that is he says the gun never should have been loaded with a live round or even and that he was told it was safe to use. it's a point. baldwin insist clears him of wrong doing, but prosecutors disagree. the after and the films amara 100 gutierrez reed, are facing to countenance of involuntary manslaughter. we need more units on criminal defense attorney. rachel, vice is a connected with the case that says the charges aren't about intense the charges all relate to negligence, nothing intentional. there they are not trying to show that any part of this wasn't accidental. they were just trying to show that they were not exercising caution. and care organ baldwin's team call the charge and miscarriage of justice. the

can any one challenge the team that has one a record 10 bonus like titles in ra? ah, building exercise high up in the mountains by and munich players bonded one last time over, ice driving before the restart of the business league season. less to see everyone else struggle with the drifting as well and i'll know suffer. this is bring the team together and his nice and jamal marciello knows a thing or 2 about working together. the teenage sensation is by and meeting poacher with 9 gold so far, but he's not alone when it comes to giving. ah, science have netted a total of $49.00 gold so far this season. and on course to printing a rec, an 11th street, tighter. none of these guys have it their way high book are currently in 2nd place, just 4 points behind by on vincent. so the 4 has done most of the talking up front

with 9 goals, the season high book, and also brag about having the 2nd best defense in the league. they've only conceded 17 goals, like say, are also trying to make a push for the title. they came close twice before finishing 2nd in 20172021. something that hasn't gone unnoticed with fridays opponents by an norm lapse exhibit. and like are one of our main title, rivals, social, if they're in good forms, with all those points wise, they're right there with all of their unbeaten in ages. i couldn't log in. and this more in christopher nicu like to half the meeks top gold score of this season. the frenchman needs the way which twice goes. now, he is a team that should be challenging for the title on a regular basis. if they can get the act together, the blacken yellows have

a way of knowing away points as him he against the at abilene. earlier in the season. we're doing one conceded 3 goals and 6 minutes after taking a to lead. the last time dormant one, the one is eager title was back in 2012 with co children pop. but ever since it's by and that has been running circles around aaliyah, the teams in the me, johnny ben alpha more on the bond is lego. return to action is chris harrington from databases sports. good to see. here we are again asking the, the question we ask every year, any of those things we heard about in that report capable of dethroning by you know, in my opinion, you should rename the bonus. they go to the buy in league or the last dominates, over the past decade. no, he has shown itself true and the reality is their head and shoulders above the rest . i know when you look at the table, it's very tight, it looks competitive for point difference and so forth. but when you look at the depth, the talented byron has, and one number to me stands out more than any others. and that's goal difference.

gold difference in football is very important. fire 36 gold difference left office and defense in the been as they go. the 2nd best is in single digits and that goes for the rest of the a lot of negative single digits as well. you know, so for those reasons i think buyer, you know, want to win in obviously try to recover off this dismal rural cup. their core players are going to look to make a point for the rest the league in my opinion. as we get started again, bon assigned to replacement the engine. go keep up, men will noah. he's only just arrived. do we really think yan salma is going to stop here? yes, that's a good question. you know, is he ready? i think what number stands out to me that the number 19 he said a, but i think a record he had 19 saves against byron munich back in august. i think he really, you don't want the appeal of the barbara. he showed how good and how versatile cat like reflex is between the post. it was unbelievable. and i, i think that considering his experience on the international pitch with switzerland, you know, he's a very seasoned goal keeper. i think when you look at the other options, fin,

all right, you're going to want to lead to your summer. they were trying to get this deal done . reports were, you know, glad by were holding out. but obviously now the dust settles has settled in our barn, got what they wanted. they have always wanted to go keeper, now they've got zelmer and i think he'll be the starter swindle. rush, i think it's just a perennial number to the toki of number 2 is let's talk dockman the perennial runner up. what sort of a boost is the return of sebastian holla to that group? huge. they gave him number line for a reason. he was looking to fill the shoes of el al and we all know illinois and burned up the bonus they go well sebastian ali because he was diagnosed with cancer . he missed his day view. he hasn't been able to get his day bugle last year. i act, he scored 34 goals 11 in the champions league, and he just recently scored a hat trick in a bonus like a friendly here's what he had to say about his return. finally, after 6 months, after 6 months in a year, like i said, it was really looking forward to her to play. because of course, when you were, when you signed for club, you want to play direct and the not the chance to to do it so. so now i hope we

play games play a lot in get no stop in deserve some venture. chris, before we go by and travel to light, seek to not what are you expecting? well, i think up are be lactic of always shown a strong home presence. you look at this season, you know, they have the best home record of all the bonus lager. and then there's a bit of emotion entangled in that you leon angles mom used to coach at our be lives gothic. one thing does potentially give barn a bit of an advantage or we like to go have the number one tracker, chris for in cuckoo in the line up he was injured, missed out on the woke up as well. i think that does give by the slight edge, but now the last it should be a firecracker of a match. we will see all the action on t w later on today. chris harrington from date of the sports. thanks so much. thank you. madison breaking news coming in in poland deputy foreign minister says ball so is ready to take quote, non standard action if germany opposed to sending leopard 2 tanks to your crime,
