[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin could german may tank soon be on their way to ukraine? poland says it is prepared to send left to tax to the front line, even without berlin's permission in japanese. foreign minister says berlin won't

stand in its way, but there is still no word from the child. also on the show, you foreign ministers agree, a new package of sanctions on iran and made fools to brown. the country's revolutionary gods, a terrorist organization. and in the buddhist league, or if you don't mind thrill the home fans as they return from the winter break to win a 2nd goal match without sports. ah, i'm on your campus mckenna. thank you so much for joining us. we begin with signs of movement on the issue of whether ukraine will receive german made battle tanks. now, japanese foreign minister and alina bab book says that berlin won't stand in the way of poland sending it's german made leopard 2 tanks to keith. ukraine has long

requested the times to bolster its defenses against russia. germany has so far held back from supplying the tanks and has even blocks other allies from doing so that countries need berlin's approval to export the tanks. but poland is now indicating that it is prepared to send them even if there is no agreement with germany. italy's political correspondent thomas sparrow, told us that chancellor shall it's, and his foreign minister do appear to have conflicting views on the tank deliveries . and that is not necessarily unusual in a 3 party coalition when it comes to deciding on very important issues like allowing those tanks to be sent to ukraine. but it is a sign undoubtedly over the fact that there is a big discussion within the german government, within german government officials as to what the best way forward is. it is also at the same time what we've just heard from the foreign minister there, that there is

a sign that it's moving in the right direction. as far as germany's allies are concerned, when it comes to that delivery, or at least when it comes to germany, accepting that 3rd country such as poland can send those tanks to ukraine. now we still haven't heard from the german chancellor us such, there is a lot of criticism against the german chancellor. but we can, we can say from these latest statements that we've heard is on the one hand that the debate is a very big one in the german government. on the other hand, that there are some signs that germany is indeed moving towards accepting those tanks to be delivered to ukraine. ok, so there isn't, isn't it? but can you explain to us why there is this reluctance to send these tanks? well, there it is, difficult sometimes to understand what the german chancellor in particular believes or how he acts. and that's one of the reasons, by the way, why some of germany's allies are concerned have been critical of germany stands. you can understand this on the one hand,

by germany's longstanding reluctance to send tanks and other weapons to was owens a reluctance by the way, started to change after the beginning of the war in ukraine. but that is a change that has only been moving slowly, that is a difficult change to make here in germany. on the other hand, german officials have stressed on various occasions. they also stress that by the way, last week, during a meeting with their allies, that they would 1st like to coordinate with the ally that they need more information that they want to have basically, all elements on the table before making a decision. those who view that positively say that germany is really being careful with decisions. those who are critical of the way the german government has been acting say that basically the german government. and in particular, the german chancellor being very reluctant at a time when they should be showing more leadership when it comes to sending those tanks to ukraine. safe talks about the pressure that charlotte says under the criticism that is being directed his way. is this drawn out debates seriously

affecting germany standing among its allies? it is indeed affecting germany's standing, especially among those who are very critical of the way germany has managed this situation about the lack of communication when it comes to the chancellor about these differing opinions when it comes to officials about the fact that germany has not been really quick when it comes to making decisions. by the way, this is not something new. we've had a similar debate in the past with other deliveries to ukraine. and that's the reason why germany's allies, poland, especially now, but also other allies, are really looking very closely, very carefully at how germany will act when it comes to authorizing these deliveries. we're talking not only about the tanks that germany has in its own stocks. so the times the germany could deliver directly, but also the fact that germany has to authorized 3rd countries like poland, if they want to send their own tanks, because essentially these tanks are german mate. thomas, thanks so much for that. that's the w political correspondent,

thomas sparrow. reporting that our e u foreign ministers have agreed to impose a new set of sanctions against iran over its brutal repression of anti government protesters. the swedish e u presidency condemned the regimes disproportionate use of force. the announcement was made at the minister's meeting in brussels. other issues on the agenda, of course, the ukraine conflict and sanctions against russia. now the meeting comes against the backdrop of the possible western tank deliveries to ukraine. and we can cross now to brussels, where did dw special correspondent abraham is following the e foreign ministers missing for us. i, let's talk 1st about the ukraine conflict which is dominating these talks today. what can we expect from the meeting? we are expecting the ukrainian foreign minister to join his european counterparts

via satellite virtually at this meeting to give a, an up to date or update am on the situation in ukraine on the ground. of course, this war has been devastating from day one, but especially in the past few weeks we've seen just horrible images coming out of ukrainian towns like denise pro, for example. and so the ukrainian foreign minister will be joining to give an update on that. we're also expecting more funds from the european union to ukraine, about 500000000 euros more in military support. and we're also expecting that a president zalinski is 10 point piece plan. his proposed 10 point piece plan will be a topic of discussion. now that planned that proposal has already been rejected by russia, but it does include points like establishing a special tribunal to prosecute russia for alleged war crimes allegedly committed

throughout this war. it also includes demands lake returning all a, you know, at target ukrainian territories from a brush, a back to ukraine and also securing nuclear sites in ukraine, especially the ones that are now under a russian control. and the issue of tang delivery will be omnipresent. you know, there, this is another form for european allies to put further pressure on germany who so far, been seen as, as the one stalling or the one holding the, the delivery of tanks to ukraine, which many countries in the european block had been eager to our eagles, eager to deliver to chris for example, lake poland. we just heard the estonian foreign minister, seeing that germany has a special responsibility as the engine of the european union and that its its allies within the iraq affecting to act on that responsibility. all right, now we also know a short while ago the foreign ministers agreed on

a new package of sanctions against iran. now, there was no mention of iran's revolutionary gods, which some member states, the sang, should be listed as a terrorist group. we're going to take a closer look now at this branch of the iranian armed forces. and when will come right back to you via the home of the founder of modern day iran. and it's a religious government in flames. youth versus old age of the people versus the state. i mean, that state is made up of the elite revolutionary guards who control most of the economy and security, and the clerics lead by supreme leader, ayatollah hammond nay, who make the rules. the regime has long blamed the west for its troubles, including the latest round of protests should oh, the smell. why did the enemies, why did america and the zionist regime, conspire against our nation, our country,

and our revolution, and create these riots. as the supreme leader said, our country is advancing and the enemies don't want our country to make progress. only the protesters don't seem to be buying it. the brutality of the security services, the corruption of the revolutionary guards, the decline in living standards as the country strains under sanctions. all feed into a rejection of the ruling classes. and the authorities seem split on what to do about it. there were announcements that the dreaded morality police would be shut down. and the law requiring women to wear ahead job be relaxed. but it's unclear if either has happened. meanwhile, the executions of protesters have spurred fresh outrage. death to the dictator, the crowd shouts, not death to america as the regime would prefer. and it's not just young women and

students getting involved. these auto workers walked off the job to support the demonstrations. no one knows if or when a reckoning is coming for the guards and the clerics. but the states brutality has guaranteed that the divisions will not go away any time soon. okay, i can you tell us more about the new package is the sanctions against iran. that's just been decided while the block has, in many occasions, expressed its concern not only at how the iranian regime has been oppressing its own people, but also in how its been helping russia in its aggression on ukraine. and so this sanctions package comes as no surprise there. now, new 37 new entities and individuals on the sanctions a list and you know, from the statement on the sanctions list,

the block says this is targeted at the people who are driving the oppression. and the message that's coming from the block really is that they're looking to sanction individuals in the, in the regime. we've heard the french foreign minister see that they recognize that the iranian regime is now holding its people hostage. so the focus is really on those in power in iran. now this will be a, this is different from the demand to list the iranian revolutionary as a terrier tear organization, which the european parliament voted in favor of just last week, amid, amid a protest in strasburg, outside the parliament that saw thousands calling for that designation. as a tear organization. and the reason for that the block says, is that, you know, this needs to be decided by a european court 1st. um, before the entire revolutionary guard, which is very important in key to the iranian regime, can be classified as a tear organization. the w special correspondent abraham reporting from brussel.

thank you so much for that. okay, we're going to take you to the u. s. now where police say the suspects in mass choosing near los angeles has been found dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound. he is thought to have killed at least 10 people and wounded 10 others during the shooting at a ballroom dance club where people was celebrating the chinese lunar new year. this is where the man hunt came to an end. security forces surrounded a white van in torrance, california, 45 kilometers from the side of the mass, shooting authority say the suspect had already shot himself before the swat team approached the vehicle. he was named as who can trans 72 years old police say he entered a 2nd club in a neighboring city but was disarmed by 2 citizens. the
