drawing ah, was there another symbolic meaning to this beautiful painting that perhaps we just don't understand? a search for answers to february 10th on d, w. ah ah, business news live for protest in berlin about germany's indecision and send in tongues to ukraine, baltic countries plead, but germany to allow it to be kills be used in ukraine, fight against russia. also coming up, millions of people in china are returning home for the special festival to mark

lunar new year. but with all the increased travel come fears of a cove its edge all eyes, our new vi and key by young sama asked one does the guy he starts after the winter break about life they deny the switch into national dream dead. aah! i am eddie micah junior. welcome to the program. officials in your green, our edgen allies, to think faster about ramping up military support. this comes as western military leaders meeting in germany. i failed to reach agreement on sending german made bottle tanks to ukraine. he was optimistic that berlin would give approval for its powerful lip at 2 tongues to be delivered to the battlefield. but germany's defense minister said his country was still way and that session that sparked protest and

berlin and please from other countries to provide the weaponry. the question of whether germany will send tanks to ukraine took sent to state at ramstein abbeys. but instead of giving the green light, germany's new defense minister just said that it is up to the chancellor to make that coal. but if on a nigger, even in china, in the event of a negative decision, nothing needs to be done again by son. but in the event of a positive decision, we have to move quickly because it is then a matter of training, checking the leopard tanks and the like, my them all, that's what this morning i ordered my ministry to examined the stalks of the different types of leopard tanks, both in our own forces and in the industry in an agony slide. clifton, i, it's all good by the end of p as sounds that has led to criticism, including from other partners who want to supply the same kind of battle thanks to ukraine. poland and finland, for example, are willing to send them to ukraine fast, but also need the green light from berlin. despite the dilemma of are tangs exports,

us defense secretary lloyd often had warm woods for germany. a country that he called the reliable ally going forward can do more. no germany has contributed a lot to this search to this campaign. ah you know from the very beginning when we saw them, ah cycle in air defense capability are the gap, ards ah, the patriots most recently, irish t r. they stepped up and offered to provide martyrs, they will provide the those mortars and conduct the training on those platforms. but for many, including these protestors who gathered outside their chancellor relate friday. berlin is dragging its feet when it comes to sending tanks. robert foxes and associates fellow had a sense of defense that his kins, college london, helios had his thoughts with me about geminus decision to not send level 2 tongues to ukraine. germany's position for all the generosity in quantity had added money

and material has been quite ambivalent. it follows the americans, the american, follow the germans, one foot on the accelerator, one foot on the foot break. there warning about died, jesus of escalation, provoking, russia. meanwhile, the one person who was really gained out of this is vladimir putin. yeah. so, i mean, ukraine is receiving many other weapons, but friends, lensky says, quote, there's no alternative but for the west to give you a green heavy tank. so why is that so important? for you green in its defense against russia, you have to turn this on the head. it's really valerie is zillow's ne, and hit 5 o sex general, some of whom seemed to have real genius. but also experience, interestingly not because of the fighting ukrainian force is more experience than many of those they're asking for weaponry from they've got a campaign design for breaking or breakout. they have to have ahmed

formations and they're going to be built round the tank. the maneuverability and the defend ability of the tank and the best available for all kinds of reasons. if the leopard to that challenge it to have a bronze m one, a 2 on bad either. that shows clearly how badly they need that now germany says no. is there a possible scenario where a country like, for instance, poland would leopard tongues can send them to ukraine without balance approval? well, i have to say that mr. patrol pastorius caused immense tactical damage to the nato alliance yesterday. both by what is the sumption for what he said and by his body language. and what is very surprising. yes and surprising that poland estonia, finland of saying we would like to find a way of getting our leopards through to ukraine because they needed. now, by the way, the british tanks are already in training for this. what was surprising,

what the dutch have also said that at the dutch of said they would be prepared to provide leopards and possibly the danger behind them, and they want to provide epa. so what does all this me now this are clearly not there. are it can, the, in actual decision has to be all allies coming together to agree, but what seems to be happening now with that? well, what's happening is on the other side is that putin is moving into a new phase. he is quite clearly staking his dictatorship and it is a dictatorship now, on being on its military stance, it died oh, for it winds or falls. by that i turning russian industry over on a war footing and he's going to get to a position where he will have said he wants to be seen to have triumphed as a military diplomatic leader by the summer. and if it stays there, if he does build up and if it is still contested, there is every possibility of

a wider war in eastern europe that will involve nato power. i'm. it's very in the outlook is very gloomy. because this shelly shelly at ramstein yesterday is a time we'll live here with fox, the fence analyst, kings college london. many thanks to some more stories making headlines around the world ukrainian preston's village mass lensky and his wife lena, attended a funeral for the victims of the helicopter crash. killed the country's interior minister earlier this week, the aircraft carrier and then is one of the ascii officials came down in a key sub, nearly a dozen other people, including a child, whales are killed. washington has designated rush as a wagner. parmally treat group is significant transnational criminal organization. the move allows the treasury to impose additional sanctions on the masonry on the us. estimates that the 50000 wagner personnel fighting between dude around 40000
