ah, be our guest at frankfurt airport city managed by frog bought ah ah, ah, this is the w news live from berlin. poland says it's prepared to send leopard 2 tanks to you, train with or without german commission as germany is hinting, it would not stand in the way. also coming up. there's anger and outrage in the middle east. protest to rob dr. a far wise politician, burns a copy of the koran in sweden,

and that could to wail the country's bits to join. they told us we find out what to expect during the development ollie's 1st real post pandemic edition taking place next month. ah, i'm here mohammed, welcome to the program. poland says it would send german made leopard tanks to ukraine to help fight the russians with or without japanese consent. leopard tanks are made in germany, so usually governments that have purchased the tanks must seek berlin's permission before they can be transferred to another country. now with the war ukraine entering a 2nd year time and patience are running out. you, crean might be one step closer to finally getting the modern and german made battle tanks. it says urgently needs poland. prime minister mateusz mode of ascii,

said his country will apply for permission from berlin to supply its lepper tanks to ukraine. but he added that poland could also export the tanks without a green light from germany. is good deal of stuff that she even if we were not given the approval within the framework of a small coalition. if the germans were not present of this coalition, we would still send the tanks together with others to ukraine. condition for us is to build at least a small coalition of countries concerned with the issue. although germany has been providing substantial support to key if it's been criticized for hesitating when it comes to sending battle tanks were allowing others to do so. but there appears to be a shift in berlin's position available, speaking to french television on sunday, the german foreign minister on a line of bear box and berlin would not stand in the way if poland decided to send its lepper tanks to key f. and that an e u foreign minister meeting a day later,

she reiterated the importance of full fledged support for ukraine, mixed up giving his when testing is the salvage, this does, the eyes internet's allows him hoard on that. we as an international community, do everything we can to defend ukraine, so that it wins and wins the right to live in peace and freedom again. he has been asking western allies to supply them with modern tanks for months. ukrainian officials say the military vehicles in particular the leper tanks are vital for fighting off and anticipated kremlin offensive in the spring and retaking territory . all latimore did up these political correspondent joins me now for more on this. now. matthew burton has come under growing pressure to give the go ahead. what have we seen so much in decision coming from the german government? yet it will. germany's while has been one of the largest backhoes to ukraine through this war in terms of weapons and aid. and every step of a way, for all the support it's exercised, a huge amount of caution, a non morsel over the issue of leopard 2 tanks. and i would see that really me 3

main reasons for that. the 1st one is this german fear of going out alone and being seen to kind of, to, to act independently because of its history, germany's squeamish about military my and so there really came to work with partners around europe in the world to want to support ukraine and that's the key part is doing as part of a coalition. the 2nd part is logistics. there are 2000 lepper tanks in europe owned by various different countries and the germans want to make sure that the right version of that tank ends up in ukraine. so that countries on sending different versions which could cause problems with coordination for the euclidean voices. second pause, how do you repair these tanks when they get damaged in the wars and in the battle field? and at the moment, there isn't really a way to, to have that support and to repair the tanks in ukraine. so you to figure out the 3rd party training the ukrainian forces so they can use a tank which i've never used before. and the 3rd reason that germany is kind of on

it is hesitant, is this fear of that it can be used as russian propaganda. i mean, german official senior german official said publicly, we're way we don't want a situation where a russian german tank could be firing at russians in the east of ukraine, and russia can say, look me towards attacking us. so those are 3 main reasons i would say. and what's the public opinion on this case? yeah, well public opinion, until recently, most germans have actually been really kind of cautious about this and i've been again standing lepper to tanks as this debate has been kind of a raging and last couple of weeks of seem public pulling actually shift to in favor of sending leper to tanks, i mean it's still quite split and you can see in the pulling that that it's no, there's not overwhelming support for this. today we actually, when i spoke to, to some people and we can take a listen to what had sienna. you find a suit, we want your crane to be independent. we don't want to let russia get away with starting a war of aggression. i was of thought and we don't want to let to get away with

threatening to use nuclear weapon will start on. so they can do whatever they want . that's why i think we need to take a strong stance as hon. my daughter and her mom had progeny invaded russia with tongue swarms i forwarded for me. has a to me is just like mountain 41 a little bit. i'm not on the 3rd so does. and zak germany says it will only do it if all of our allies are on board. but i think that's just a distraction to avoid having to make the 1st move image. i would like to see the united states get involved to friends which different i'm really, it's not right that the polls want to offer lepper tanks up. germany says, you know, and he has a joint european decision. here's one that should be taken now gets off the top of them. so doesn't look like ukraine is going to get these battle tanks that they so badly need. i think the prevailing mood here in berlin is that german government will give the go ahead and just need to kind of soil the, the details. and i think one of the reasons for that is as a, mentioned that the various models, etc. but

a feel the feeling is that the pushes towards giving the go ahead and i'll probably be polish. the polish government, a sense thanks. fashion, part of a small group of countries. the trouble is for the ukraine, is it for you? korean is that it could be months before the reach that the battle crowns in the east because it takes months to prepare these tanks. at which point it could be too late to stop that expected russian offensive. all right, that is a w, matthew more. thank you so much. now i can't crohn burning incident in sweden has set off a series of rallies across the middle east. a far right with his danish politicians set fire to it. fans holy book and stuck up in front of turkey's embassy. the incident has threatened to derail sweden's bed to join the nato military alliance. illicitly got some more difficulties getting that report up at sir. let's move on to other news. oh condom nation in yemen, capital santa,

that is not happening in the dark robes. the law suite in, in turkey, appeared to be making headway in nato negotiations. the co round provocation is putting their ties to the test yet again. hello. c a 2nd, look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. at least 7 people are dead, offer a shooting in half moon bay in the u. s. state of california. a gunman opened fire at a mushroom farm and then at a nearby trucking business, police have detained a 67 year old suspect. it comes 2 days after another shooter killed 11 people in monterey park. california power is being restored in pakistan after millions of people were left in. the dark authorities blamed the major power cut on a voltage surge after generators were temporarily switched off to save energy. if the 2nd good failure, in 3 months,

forth in place. so he didn't really have a pack theaters, didn't have the, the red carpet craziness that is always a part of the bell. and on and i think of people like myself going to so many a 1000000000 hours over the years i've really missed and i'm hoping it will come back or this year. i mean, we at least have a not star power coming again. we got, you know, an hathaway coming and i keep blanched at, and helen mirren, some of my favorites, who got that the hunky outs and her scar scars is going to be watching the red carpet and the almost as hunky john malkovich will also be coming. kirsten stuart, a starved twilight. she's gonna be in berlin the whole time because she's the jury president of this year. so getting a lot of her and we should be able to spot a steven spielberg because he'll be dropping in to receive a lifetime achievement. golden bear, so hopefully that will be enough our power to really get people out again and get the berlin ala back to it's sort of pre coded, normal. i saved paintings and caves across southern europe have long been a fascination. but the meaning of the symbols drawn by hunter gatherers is still

a mystery. shall the cave 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 thoughts. for a long time, no one you were to make of them. until pin 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 tiers, 7 ibex or 7. fisher 3 is he just, we had to, so i probably had to be a time to store some description. because not everyone still has to walks, not everyone's would have killed 4 ox, you know, 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, a 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 or all the major animals. so they have a fairly good idea what animals are at their cage when they're, they're what they're doing. generally, the week when they come and generally when they need this quite precise, they can track me 10 or 12 different precis 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 in washington. the news live from berlin. stick around rob, what's coming up next to the latest is facing like ah, she's got issues with all say we're great.
