i miss on violet pass and read. imagine that these teachings for relevant gandhi's legacy starts january 28th on d, w. mm hm. ah ah. this is new news alive from berlin. protest in berlin about germany's indecision on sending tanks to ukraine. baltic countries plead with germany to allow its let bought 2 vehicles be used in ukraine's fight against russia. also coming up, taking counselors visits by sweden's defense minister after stockholm grounds

permission for an anti turkish protest. it's the latest escalation. as on kyra continues to block students bid to join nato. dozens are injured in various capital, asked, protest clash with police. the main street has argument been fresh elections up that december. austin, of preston sped records to you. ah, i am eddie micah junior. welcome to the program. officials in ukraine, edge and allies to think fasta, about jumping up military support. this comes out. the western military leaders meeting in germany have failed to reach agreement on sending german made battle tanks to ukraine. keyboards optimistic that belin would give approval for its powerful lip at 2 tanks to be delivered to the battlefield. but germany,

defense minister said his country was still weighing the decision. that's fucked. protests and berlin, and please from other countries to provide the weaponry. the question of whether germany will send tanks to ukraine took center stage 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 call. but if i need to even and chime in the event of a negative decision, nothing needs to be done again by sunday. 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 examine the stalks of the different types of leopard tanks both in our own forces and in the industry in an agony slide. clifton, i'll go by the end with p as sans 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 or 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, sir, to this campaign. ah, you know, from the very beginning when we saw them, ah, cycle in defense, kate rowley, are the get bards. ah, the patriots most recently, irish t r. they stepped up and offered to provide martyrs, they will provide the those mortars and conductor 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. ellie, i spoke to robert fox and associates fellow at a center for the fence study scans, college, london. he said his thoughts on germany's decision to not send leopard to tongues to ukraine. japanese possession,

for all the generosity in quantity had added money and material has been quite ambivalent. it follows the american to the american follow the germans, one foot on the accelerator, one foot on the foot, break there warning about digits 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 1st ansolaski says quote, there's no alternative but for the west to give you a green heavy tongue. so why is that so important? for ukraine in its defense against russia, you have to turn this on the head. it's really valerie is zillow shanae and had 506 generals, some of whom seemed to have real her genius. but also experience, interestingly not because of the fighting ukrainian force is a 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 the challenge a to and they 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 and send them to ukraine without balance approval? well, i have to say that mister peter pastorius caused immense tactical damage to the nato alliance yesterday. both by what is the sumption to 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 you, craig, 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 danes behind them, and they want to provide epa. so what does all this me now this is clearly not there, or it can be a natural 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 out on its military stands, it died or for a winds or falls by that a turning russian industry over on a war footing and he's going to get to a position where he will have see 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 pars i'm, it's very at the outlook. it's very gloomy because of the shelley shelling at ramstein yesterday is the time we'll leave it here. robert fox, the fence analyst, kings college london. many thanks. let's look at more stories making headlines around the world union and friends. a lot of mess lensky and his wife, atlanta. i've attended a funeral for the victims of a helicopter crash that killed the country's interior minister earlier this week. the aircraft carrier and then is that want us to ski officials came down and it keeps nearly a dozen other people, including the child wells, are killed, use the lens education minutes that chris hipkins is set to become prime minister taking over from current pm just in the ad and one now's test prize resignation on thursday. if gins was the only candidate needed to replace their so just in law

make as wanted to avoid the drawn out leadership contest. this morning. i'll take, he has council. the plan, visits by the swedish defense minister, and the fed doubts on kyra supports full sweden joining nato. the meeting was originally planned, $1.00 to $2.00 defense ministers met at ramstein, germany on friday. he says that consultation was in reaction to test outside the turkish embassy on saturday, where our rights activist band and that puts us was approved by the swedish police . let's get take his view from our correspondence, juliani stumble. hello julia. it can be argued that turkey is on good terms with other western nations critical, a better one, and that would take additional dissenters. so why this strong reaction to sweden in this case? well, this is a just a latest backlash from a tough he. the background to this story is the larger diplomatic conflict over

sweden and finland beds for nato membership. the 2 countries want to join the military alliance in the face of russian aggression in ukraine. but nato member sack, he has been blocking the process so far because the turkish government says sweden and finland and sweden, in particular on not doing enough against groups which on cra, considers as terrorists, including the militant kurdish kent. kate. now when it comes to what happened today, i should mentioned that stockholm and anchor i have very different understandings of freedom of expression. sweden has a very extensive definition. they have allowed this right wing x from is politician to protest. he has burned a koran is long holy book in public. it remains to be seen whether that will have any political, legal consequences for him. but this is as seen as something very offensive by many muslims. not only here in turkey, turkey already summoned the swedish ambassador over this issue yesterday. and today

we heard some very angry reactions. the president, edwin says, spokesperson, for example, called it and i quote him here, a clear crime of hatred. and it has nothing to do with freedom, according to him. and of course, all of that makes it more difficult for the swedish government to make progress. overcoming a turkey's objection to sweden's between the 2 members ride so quickly on this one, i'll soon just end up with whereabouts is leave sweden's natal membership application. well, that's the big question. turkish officials have repeatedly said that they are not opposed to nato enlargement. a per se, but said they have turned as sweden villains bit into a bigger story. they've realized that they have political leverage here and they're willing to use it. and i should mention that important elections are coming up here in turkey in may as it looks, it is seen. this is seen as a crucial and difficult task for president edwin. and he uses this entire issue.

that's what analysts say to present himself as the strong man who stands up to the so called west who can stand up to nato and price or turkish a demand. so the tech selections play a role here as well. so we don't expect anything to move on this nature issue until after the election here in turkey. ok, julia han is stumble. thank you. i'm. i was capital lima. dozens of people have been injured in clashes between anti government protest us on security forces. the unaware started in december, the preston federal castillo was ousted, and i was now stretched to many parts of the country, came in more than 50 lives. at battle, fought in the streets of lima, police fire, tear gas angry protest. this pro brooks and bottles. they are demanding the resignation of precedent. deena bullet, they,

the former vice president took power after her predecessor pedro castillo was ousted. castillo was abroad, and corruption investigations and tried to dissolve congress ahead of an impeachment vote. in the southern region of pu, know, a police station was set on fire. and another was attacked by hundreds of protesters. much of the worst violence has taken place in rural regions. many protest as c pedro castillo, who has indigenous routes as one of their own standing against the urban elite. in the affluent lima district of mia flores, life is very different from that. in the provinces. not everyone has sympathy for the protesters, preliminary lima brita. most of the problem is not lima, but the regional governors or mayors. they're elected and yet they do nothing with the money they're giving in austin and they receive

a lot of money mutual yet. i mean, if you ask many of the people who are marching, why they're out there, they don't know why. but for protest is gathered in the city center. it's about a broken political system. we're, we're not, we're not picking up a tiny group of people, hold the power of manage the state, manage the police, the armed forces. i'm congress, the chief prosecutor's office and they managed the judicial system. what then? i think we're in a bad way. and that is why we're going out to fight even without the gate at lieutenant as night falls and lima, the battle continues. human rights groups are accusing security forces of using excessive force. ah, the people of perry are divided and no end to the violence seems to be in sight. sports. the bonus, the guys back after an extended winter break due to the wall copy cutoff. the 1st
