[000:00:00;00] ah 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 leopard 2 times to the front line, even without berlin's permission. japanese foreign minister says berlin words stand

in its way that there is still no word from the trunks. also coming up, e u foreign ministers agree, a new package of sanctions on iran, amid calls to brown to the countries revolutionary gods, a terrorist organization. class. because of organization, because of the release, go go to jail for a gold true war. we meet the russian man who fled to serbia to escape persons at military call up that he says, even that the faces daily reminders of the power of russia's propaganda machine ah, and i manuscript mac and, and welcome to the program. we begin with signs of movement on the issue of where the ukraine will receive at german made battle times. now germany is foreign minister and alina bab,

books spell in won't stand in the way of poland sending it's left the 2 tanks to keith. ukraine has long requested the tanks to bolster its defenses against russia's assault. germany has so far held back from supplying the tanks and as even blocked other allies from doing so. that countries need berlin's approval to export the tanks. but poland is now indicating it is prepared to send them even if there is no agreement with germany. and italy is political correspondent, thomas sparrow, told us the 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 tax that germany has in its own stocks . so the tax, 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. let's see w political correspondent, thomas sparrow. reporting there now e e foreign ministers of a great to impose a new set of sanctions against iran. it's brutal repression of anti government, protested the ministers a meeting in brussels to discuss a range of issues including punitive measures against iran. that there's been no mention of iran's revolutionary gods, which some member states say should be listed as a terrorist group to ron has tossed the gods with stamping out anti government protests that have gripped around since september. they were going to take a closer look at this branch as the iranian armed forces, the home of the founder of modern day iran, and it's a religious government in flames. youth versus old age,

and 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 hyman ne, who make the rules. the regime has long blamed the west for its troubles, including the latest round of protests, kiddo dosma. 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 a ha 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 state's brutality has guaranteed that the divisions will not go away anytime soon. it at least special correspondent i abraham is in

brussels following the you foreign ministers meeting for us. and she told me more about the new package of sanctions against iran. there will now be new 37 new individual entries into the sanctions list on iranian individuals. and with the block has said to day that the sanctions will be targeted as those individuals are, those entities that are driving the oppression. now they're, they're clearly referring to the disproportionate crackdown on, on an pro democracy protesters that iran has seen for the past couple of months. which experts say has been the biggest threat to the islamic republic since its establishment in 1979. following the asli make revolution. now, it seems that with the e used trying to say with the block answering the signal is that they're really interested in punishing and targeting those in power. in iran, we heard the french foreign minister, for example, saying that we have to recognize that the iranian government is holding its people

hostage. and, and so the goal of this package really is to, is to put pressure on those in for those driving the oppression. and not the people every run, and that's very important. just last week the european parliament called on member states to label iran's revolutionary gods as the terrorist group. did the ministers address this issue at all? well that was one of the options that could have come out out of today's meeting. obviously the, the foreign ministers have chosen to go with more sanctions. this is not the 1st sanctions packet against iran a since the protests have broken out. but we heard the e use high represented for foreign affairs today, essentially saying, well, we can't, we can't just list them as a block. we can't just list the revolutionary guard as a terror organization without a court, a decision that would say that they are a tear organization. so it seems that for now,

more sanctions targeting individuals rather than a terror listing is what is the direction that the block is choosing to go with. however, having the european problem, which is a different, which is a different institution of the european union vote for this certainly puts the topic on the agenda and you know, lends a lot of legitimacy for the demand to maybe at some point list the revolutionary guard as a tear organization, i think he knows he w, special correspondent abraham repulsing from brussels. i'm going to take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. a popular journalist in cameron has been found dead, his body mutilated rights group, say, martinez, so go was a ducted last week and his badly damaged car found outside a police station in the capital. jo and de soto was known for tackling cases of corruption on his radio program. in pakistan,

tens of millions of people were left without electricity of the nationwide power outages. early on monday, officials the blaming a quote major breakdown of the national grid. power is back on in some parts of the country, but the energy minister says it could take at least 12 hours to restore supply to the whole country. and police in the us state of california say the suspect in a mass shooting near los angeles has been found dead after he shot himself. the gunman is thought to have killed at least 10 people and wounded 10 others at a ball room. don't. during chinese luna yet celebrations. now hundreds of thousands of russians are thought to have left the homeland since september when president putin announced a military call up of young men to fight in ukraine. they've gone to destinations around the world, including one place that likely feels familiar. serbia, the eastern european country has long had close ties with russia,

ties that have only gotten stronger since the war broke out on correspondent funding for char met one man who was able to escape putins draft. but not his propaganda. the owners didn't feel they had to change the name or the, the core when russia invaded ukraine, customers were not put off the admire. the russian leader, both the, the id is the routine, is the only real leader in the world full. if you can, all the others, the just politicians progress, but he looks after his country, and these people will not order for yog many here is that an yanine near bol: great! feel that the west cause the ukraine war, and yet it's, we're on j. a rush, young journalist, flat to last september, before the war, he had reported on corruption a risky pursuit, which became too dangerous when men started being drafted into the army. i left the because of mobilization because of the re, reese,

go for to go to jail or a gold true war. well, i would not go to war anyway, so when i could face a jail or torture or anything else, you can pick it then i decided police right now he decided to come to serbia because he had some friends. he had a be, has cape the put in regime right, but nots his propaganda. now, they have problems with information about war. ah, i'm not in the position to tell. so be on people what they should think and holiday sheet or transform the media. oh, good people, angie sas, you feel safe here, but he plans to leave and he's more open when talking in private than when the

camera is rolling. belgrade city center shows how close links between the countries have helped spread the russia narrative on serbian media rushes propaganda mouthpiece recently launched. a local online service survey has not the most obvious place or for a few should a 1000 fleeing russia. many serve. see a support the russian regime? glory to russia is painted just outside serbia's presidential office, pull say more than half of the serbian population, cease putin as serbia's closest foreign ally, gama elizabeth. he's a good leader, really because he's challenging the leech tomorrow because he shaking up the weld alder. sometimes people in serbia try to break through rushes propaganda. these protest doors are showing the names of bombed ukrainian towns in front of a christmas tree donated by russia. their attempt to create awareness is quickly

cut short though russians are. welcome in serbia, but criticism against russia lesson as for attorney at and t w's honeypot, chow has sent us that report and i asked her why serbia has become one of the main has countries for russians in exxon for very, very pragmatic reasons, because it is very close to the european union that makes to be quite attractive, especially for those russians who flee russia for economic reasons. who want to set up a business as quick as possible and just start a new life, or go on, be some sort of a life that they've been used to a miller class in con, live in russia. so very pragmatic reasons. they apart from the fact that they are direct clots between russia and suby on a daily basis. but what i found quite strange is really the people who flee due to political reasons like the journalist. we have seen that report. and so many activists and people who spook up against it, vladimir putin, when they were in russia,

but now being in suby and really surrounded by the propaganda. it's really too difficult to actually find people like the journalist in a report that speak up or in front of the camera about the fact why they may some sort of have an impact on the people that they have left behind in russia. it's a very complex picture and certainly it's one of those questions that, that you propose 1st, not for those that left for economic reasons, but really the ones who left russia for political reasons to flee from, of letting me put his regime. that they actually go to serbia with the majority of the population, supports bloody marapoo. tim for tell us more about these ties between russia and soviet why are they so strong apart from the fact that it's easy to get from one to the other. but very blunt to put cheap gas just asked a few months after the war in ukraine began cbs president, which actually extended its gas pro,

contract with russia. so his country receives basically gas on the market price. so it is due to economic interest there. but also russia stance on kosovo is the same as the suva, as to be as possible that declared independence in 2008 is not recognized as, as an independent state need about soviet nobody russia seen a way to be a wants russia to stay and ally even this more like a passive ally to say so in these contacts the suby would like to join the european union, but at the same time doesn't really progress. they are. so it seems like really, serbia is a little bit in between 2 chairs that really couldn't be will farther from each other between the you and russia. and the war in ukraine really exposes this bizarre connection that serbia has with russia. but the country is at crossroads. the pressure is really increasing on serbia to sign those sanctions to impose and sanctions. those sanctions on russia that the countries have done so if it really

wants to join the european union. so really, this is a situation where suby needs to understand the more it flirts with russia that more it may risk also its way forward. the ones who really see the future of suby out within the european union and more towards the west. they w. funny, fletcher thank so much for that. now, ice age paintings and caves across southern europe have long fascinated and intrigue. but the meaning of the symbols drawn by hunter gatherers has always been a mystery. now though an amazon, he ologist, and brisson says that he has cracks a code to help him decipher well those early europeans were actually saying still the case in the south of france was famous for a reason. it contains hundreds of animal paintings drawn by a hunter gatherer us, tens of thousands of years ago. like in numerous other european caves on. many of

the paintings are accompanied by mysterious markings like these dots. for a long time, no one you were to make of them until been bacon. an independent researcher noticed a pattern each animal has a dominant number. and these numbers, a sense of course, is a 3, bison and rocks are 4. red d roars, sat and ibex or sat and fisher 3 is he just we had to so i probably had to be a time to store some description. because not every once in a half walks, not everyone would have killed 4 ox units. it had to be, it had to be drawn after evaluating hundreds of drawings, bacon and other researchers concluded that this must have been an ancient calendar . according to the research, as it was used to record sophisticated information about the animals, the horse with 3 dots, for example,

would mean these animals made 3 lunar faces. after the beginning of spring in memory, they will have records of effectively all the animals in the area are all the major animals. so they have a fairly good idea. what animals are at their caves when they're, they're what they're doing. generally, the week when they com and generally when they leave, does quite precise as they can track the 10 to 12 different praise feed scenes in their area very, very accurately. in the hostile environment where people migrated with the animals, this information could make a difference between surviving and dying. bacon says that the calendar has been used for at least 10000 years until the end of the last ice age. it has been found and caves all over europe, from portugal to ukraine. it shows that hunter gatherers were by no means primitive,

but rather clever people who use this form of writing to store vital information. now it's been an unusually warm winter hair in europe and that is bad news scares. and on other winter sports fans, many alpine resorts have had to close due to a lack of snow. as the effects of climate change are being felt at increasingly high altitudes. as databases last health and now reports, business owners in the alps are already having to think about how they can prepare for a future of warmer weather and less snow. you can see the alps from here within a few years, only the highest peaks will have a virtual snow guarantee in winter, in lower regions. like here, norbish dolphin snow is exceedingly rare. and never has that been as little as this winter, green meadows everywhere. not exactly what tours,

so looking for most cabins on the cable car empty. and those who booked a week of fun on the slopes hadn't changed their plans. emer, martha, no mercy. usually i do ski and snow shall tours all winter long. now i'll have to find another way. well, i'll just hike then you get motor force. finally get we love skiing. well, hiking is okay to, but i'd really rather go skiing on drama drama. the whole cut, the regions highest peak still offer some snowy adventures. but the main attraction is out of commission because even up here, there's not enough cover for the sledding track, raced against onto that order by ours. letting track is a big deal here. it's fast to takes balls. it's pretty steep and almost 5 kilometers long kilometer long. this season's sledding fun is not quite as long as the nearby huntley cable car. they've made just enough snow to at least keep some

kids happy. and better yet. there's even some skiing possible if only for absolute beginners as me, i'm here with made some snow limited to this one location and we were able to offer skiing lessons for like that for a better ski us. you can't get around there too, and it's just not enough. i was not super understood in the algo region. well, come some for 1000000 visitors every year, making tourism the main business here. winter accounts for a 3rd of it. naturally climate change has people worried, a strong showing between november and february is key to the survival of shops, restaurants, and hotels. some of them are already busy preparing for future seasons without snow . this father can and is just again, usually our guests come here for skiing medicine, but this year that was impossible due to a lack of snow plan and show my we're expecting more of interest to be like this. we can count on snow any more and so i should be. that's why we are investing in

other projects like this kits playground, so that we can keep our guests entertained anyway. an orange one to hide the kernan . the hotels new adventure playground has just opened. more projects are planned and some summer attractions can also be extended. like the up c coaster, germany's longest mountain run. that since you down hill at really high speed, it's as close as one gets to a real down hill adventure this winter. so he is now and in the button to see gathering adults and ended up on the right side of a saturn gull match against alk spoke, besides traded gulls until dalton pounced late in the game to seal and memorable when i don't means jude bellingham dazzled the defense of alex bird to open his glory. moves like this show why the 19 year old is among the most sought after
