6:03 pm
and yet they do nothing with the money they're giving. he knows and they receive a lot of money mutually. we took it, if you ask many, 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. obama, not one of the kind of a tiny group of people hold the power, manage the state, managed the police, the armed forces. i'm congress, the chief prosecutor's office, and they managed the judicial system. what the net, i think we're in a bad way. and that is why we're going out to fight, even with that, the get it done. 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. they dug, the correspondent makeovers joins us from the peruvian capital. now it seems the
6:04 pm
protest nicole m m and now much more than just reinstating the former president from december to now, how is this movement evolved? well, there's different realities here in the country as we've just also heard in the report. but one reality, and this applies to the protesters who are gathering here in lima, as well as that they've been filled left behind for years already through, is living through years of political instability, with changing presidents and visual castillo for them represented one of them. and now they say has come the moment of no return, they have lived for years of inequality. they say they have lived for years of poverty. they don't see the benefits that are being generated in their regions from, for example, mining or agriculture. a feel that their health system is not good enough. they feel that the educational system is not good enough. so this is one side,
6:05 pm
but also these protests are much, much stronger now because there is a hard release repression on these on these protestors we've seen time and again now videos on social media or how people are being injured or shot. we have more than 50 dead in connection to the classes are at these protests or approve blockages on the roads. so it's coming to your mentor, my think, where many of these who are protesting are saying enough is enough. and we have lived for years of this inequality of discrimination, of poverty. we now want to change that really serves us the go what the governments next move beyond just trying to keep the peace. are they looking to engage these protesters in talks or are they trying to appease them in any way? at this point? i think the connection is breaking up a bit. but if you are asking for our reactions from the government. well,
6:06 pm
the president dina water there has time and again call to earth to have a coma situation for people to be peaceful, to protest peacefully on the other side. cheese so appraising the police forces, which of course is not of health. when people are criticizing that, the police here is a very hard on them. on the other side, of course, there are some movements like humanitarian aids just this morning. the minister of defense has announced that they will send goods to the affected areas because of the road blockage is. so people cannot access medicine or food as easy as before because they have been road blockages in certain areas for weeks now. and this makes also people's lives hard on the ground people who are maybe not even in these protests. so this is some reaction from the government to day. we've also seen one minute visiting. one of the meetings here was my, to me, my, where people have been killed 2 weeks ago to talk to local authorities. but at the
6:07 pm
moment, it seems like this is maybe just a photo opportunity to show that there is some reach out for dialogue. in the meantime, that needs to be dialogue from both sides because the protest is at the moment, are not open for that dialogue. unfortunately, the course in the peruvian capital, lima. thanks so much. officials in ukraine are urging allies to think faster about wrapping up military support. this comes as western military latest making in germany failed to reach agreement on sending german made battle tanks to ukraine. he was optimistic that berlin would give its approval for its powerful leopard, 2 tanks to be delivered to the battlefield of germany's defense minister said his country was still wayne, the decision for more on this, i'm joined by the fence journalist tim ripley in london. tim, the answer for now seems to be a note to a rapid shipment of the german leopard 2 tanks. did this decision come as
6:08 pm
a surprise to you? well, it follows a pattern of an initial german reluctance to dispatcher arms over the past year or so. there's always been real chance to, to send arms, and then when is a row, and then nato gets involved and the americans get involved. then eventually the germans relent and allow that the explored all of the weapons in question. so this has a certain day, john, who about it. we've been here before, we've had these arguments and eventually that the german government decides to follow the consensus out of its nature. ally, so maybe it's a bump in the road. it's not a complete, know so, so maybe there are in a moves going on and eventually there will be a change of heart and a decision in the positive from the berlin government. it one curiosity is the ukranian defense minister saying there were some breakthroughs at the ramps on conference. ukrainian armed forces will now be allowed to train on the lippard to y
6:09 pm
practice using these tanks. if they are not going to be employed in battle. well, that a cool speeds up the deployment when a decision is actually made on the polls have her weapon tanks, some of the other european allies have them so they can train on and get used to prepare for the day when they actually arrived. so when, when that decision is made, does not such a long lead time before they're from the decision to their delivery, which is always going to be several weeks for the cruise to get credit, get trained up. so if they do that ahead of the decision, then obviously that delivery to the front can take place far quicker, but than, than would, would have to be if they delayed that training. as this goes on, washington as designated rushes of wagner millet paramilitary group, a transnational criminal organization. i wonder how effective has that wagner group been in this war. how will that proven to be instrumental in the current battles
6:10 pm
going on in the don best region? they are some of the best trained and most motivated russian infantry forces at the moment and they are spearheading the they offensive against solid are on the back mode. and they, they seem to be really well motivated. they seem to be well lead a well organized compared to some of the other parts of the russian armed forces. and they are making a real impact on the battlefield. around fact, mood, which seems to be coming under real pressure is threatened with being surrounded by, by recent wagner advances. so they all, in one of the best fighting forces the russians have at the moment the 20 and government defines victory as getting back to land. it has lost since 2014 a year on from the start of the war. how would you define a victory for ukraine? well, i mean, so the, that in the 1st month of the war victory was surviving. so they survived that. they
6:11 pm
won that battle. and as far as ending the war that that is a completely different sort of scenario and, and a different thing. i mean, yes, a, it may be possible for the right for the ukrainians with a massive amount of western aid to drive the russian army back from the current occupied territory. but what happens if the russians decide that they're not going to stand for that? and i got to rearm an attack again, it is a question of and when do you want this war to end? i mean, the, it's either going to end with a peace treaty which may or may not give the ukrainians. i think they want all, that may be a regime clapped in russia, which is obviously at, in a far better outcome for the ukrainians. i thought that's a big bet. i mean, that's not a certainty. so far, the russian regime seems to be riding out there the setbacks president putin seems
6:12 pm
to be still in power. the only criticism he gets from our public opinion in russia seems to be that he's not fighting the war. and we have enough vigor, and i'm, and enough effectiveness and he's, he's not winning it for russian, which isn't, was not name the intention of all the sanctions and all that they, they are threats of, of war crimes, prosecutions. so am and are in regime claps in russia seems a long way off, which makes it unlikely that the war wind i'm on the terms at the ukrainians. want the fence journalist in ripley and london. thanks so much. you're welcome. ok, let's take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. and the zealand education minister cris hipkins is set to become prime minister taking over from current pm, jacinta dunn who announced her surprise resignation on thursday. it begins was the only candidate nominated to replace it, suggesting lawmakers wanted to avoid

6:14 pm
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 as 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 p k k. now when it comes to what happened today, i should mention 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 his 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, as seen as something very offensive by many muslims. not only here in turkey,
6:15 pm
turkey already summoned the swedish ambassador over this issue yesterday. and today we've heard some very angry reactions of president edwin, so 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 bit nato members, julia hand from east apple wrapping up. now used this, how up nick shift looks at some of the quantities of quantum computing and why i think it will provide big changes, but it will around us that's coming up next. ah, leonardo da vinci's mysterious masterpiece. this perhaps the greatest leonardo masterpiece and the collection of the louvre and no, it is not.
