president's response. today ukrainian president zalinski fired nearly a dozen top officials and accepted the resignation of his own office as deputy director. soleski saying there can be no return to what used to be in the past. many are calling this a presidential purge, that includes governors, one of them from the harrison region, the scene of fierce fighting in recent months. ukraine is under pressure to tackle corruption as billions of dollars of aid and military assistance continue to flow into the country. the president saying, courage and ethics must go hand in hand more to day, from ukraine's prime minister. while the just thought would of our government continues to conduct reforms necessary for our country, this concerns building an anti corruption architecture. this means systematic and orderly work vital for ukraine, which is a required condition for euro integration. are going to go to our correspondence only if on the cars she is in, keep for us to night. it's good to see. so yet i want to come back to this

corruption story just a moment. but 1st i want to start with the tanks. germany reportedly giving the green light for those german made leopard 2 tanks to be sent to ukraine. of this is the decision that keith has been wanting almost from the very beginning of this war . that's absolutely right. i mean, ukraine has really been pushing for western tanks and specifically the job and made leopard tanks for a long time now. and right now there is a growing sense of urgency. sure. in keith about the coming spring, that's when both russia and ukraine expected to prepare for new offences. and ukraine says, you know, these lepper tanks from germany can be a potential game changer for several reasons. you know, for one, it will offer that soldiers more power firepower, more protection. ukrainian defense officials have also been saying that these lippard, 2 tanks, are specifically designed to compete with the russian t 90 tanks. and these are the tanks that russia has been using in its invasion of

ukraine. these are the tanks that are also been deployed in the east. and finally, ukraine says, you know, these, the little tanks will be easy to maintain because the readily readily available on the continent that are more than 2000 of them in various european countries. and so to be easier for them to get spare parts and ammunition and training on these tanks, let me go back into the story of corruption in the firings today. so people are saying that this is a purge of officials by president zalinski. i mean, it looks and sales like a purge. is it? well, it's certainly a very damaging scandal, and it's certainly one of the biggest political jacobs in crane since that russian invasion last february. now, the reports here in the ukraine media, i've been saying that some of these political announcements that have been made in recent days, had been planned by presidents and zalinski fought for a while. but there was little doubt that he has come under pressure off to intense

coverage in the media of some of these corruption cases and has felt the need to take action and to really get a grip of the problem before it gets out of hand. now, these corruption allegations have been leveled by investigative journalists in ukraine, as well as ukraine's national anti corruption bureau. and some of these allegations relate to embezzlement of state funds. some of them also point to causey ties width of businessman and using their flash cards to get to vacations and for drives and presidents zalinski this weekend really bowed to take a 0 tolerance approach to this. he's now also said that he will bad government officials from traveling aboard for vacation, of rather for any other work other than government work. i mean, this is a serious problem. he's admitting it and it's not a problem that came over night talk to me about him just help significant corruption has been in ukraine in the past. well, it's still corruption, has been a really an endemic issue in ukraine,

really played by corruption for years. and i think ukraine has long been associated with, with corruption and on the gaki for years, you know, officials and businessman sure have a said to have really cooked up, elaborate, and lucas's schemes to really hollow out really plunder the state budget. but you know, that has changed unless have said that in recent years you quinn has taken significant strides to who does corruption. and we have to remember, precedents. zalinski himself was elected in 2019 on a promise to clean out corruption. and one of the things that anti corruption activists have been seeing in recent is here in the wake of all these dismissals and resignations is that this is actually proof that the mechanisms put in place in ukraine to route out. corruption are actually working. sorry, before you let you go, do you get the impression or do people they are thing that western allies, they've, they've pushed aside their concerns about corruption in the rush to supply ukraine

with weapons in the push russia back. well, we haven't really heard a lot about corruption since the rushes invasion of ukraine of prison. zalinski is government, of course has had his priority has been, you know, fighting russian aggression. western allies are focused on giving him the military aid that he needs. lighting corruption has been a complicated issue, not just for the west, but also for journalist and activists in ukraine, who have been wary to kind of raise it and prove evidence of it for fear that they could harm international support for ukraine's waterford did abuse sonya fall in the car, in cave, with the latest to night. sonia always thank you. and there has been no lit up in the fighting on the front lines in this war, especially close to bach moved it eastward ukraine. once of artillery fire have reduced much of the city and neighboring towns to ruins. we have this report on a group of volunteers who are braving the shell fire to bring the areas vulnerable

woman who's fallen down and an older man um, who has frostbite and has to go to the hospital on monday. i could feel wouldn't not on since girls most that's all they know for now. final preparations, then it's time to head towards the frontline in their makeshift armored vehicle. dina is ukrainian and is in charge of finding their destination on the google map, all maps i, i can find the names of st. just just go and ask test, go to the lens or military. so we're the streets, you know, as of isn't how it kinda, we're not an ambulance. no. in the traditional sense, we have a mattress and we have this pillow there nearly at the front. a small village right by the embattled town of solid hour. the sound of artillery strikes, some people still holding out. this woman had a stroke. houses are getting hit so unclear exactly what's going on

here. holiday bike of awfully fled mishenko used to be a soldier than he worked in a factory and soda and later sold fruit and vegetables. he always did everything on foot. now his foot is frozen on a cold november day, he walked a long way to his nephew's house. in his socks, his foot never recovered. what made you decide to come out? no, he never call you alone just i didn't want to be evacuated. but i'm a burden because i'm sick with those to benoit. i'm a burden on my nephew who is young, but who he took me in. yeah, i knew. oh, don't mullah annoy long. all i've had to eat in the last few days. no use boiled sausages and macaroni. i tried to eat a little cool. there's no toilet here to live. and yet as in listening,

we have to go, since he doesn't realize he's cold because he has an infection that raises his temperature. me doesn't realize he has frost bites. these volunteers have taken over evacuations because nobody else will. their mission ends here in the emergency room with the hospital, where the handling need minish ankle over. he will probably lose the foot that helped carry him across the don bus. and joining me here at the beach table is maxime, don't cinco, he is the director general of the ukrainian red cross. it's good to have you where this meet. you've got so many challenges facing you in ukraine right now. so let me ask you what, what are the biggest ones right now in the middle of this war? so like every ukrainian, i can say with the one to the main we show all the ukrainians. this is to stop this one. that's the main for at cross your son or for for other city,

then it out as you, as a person for a moment. how confident are you we hear from the politicians. we hear from military strategies that this war could be one ended in one by ukraine this year, by the end of this year. are you confident that we're going to see an end to this, this tragedy and misery that soon? i hope for this. i very much hope for this, but to anyway, so our humanitarian mandate. nevertheless, to work to the people, to support the people who are suffering now and this is name, this is main idea of over at cross. it is main idea if you bring it across society and this is media of all or all you recall source all around the world. if you've had to change your strategy, how to help people in just the past few months, because of russia's attacks, of the energy infrastructure in the country, it's winter. now it's impossible for

a lot of people to turn the lights on to turn the heat or yeah, we were, we were ready to beat are the consequences. for example, we made an assessment on winter is ation support at summer. and of course, like a 10th of october and this i would like to change our strategies. and of course they care if from the beginning we were ready to support people, you know, like with a some heaters with heating stalls for example. then we crucially change our approaches for generators, definitely because they need, in general, they just became there quite very big. and it's not only about personnel needs, it's about sustainability of health services and schools. most beetles, which, which helps return to a sense of something being normal. and maybe people think there's a perception that once the war is over,

we won't need the red cross of the board. but that's not the case, is that you will be needed there more than ever. i wish to red cross now or will needed to, to this globe. but unfortunately, i now will leave in this crazy work with a worse with climate problems. so unfortunately, referrals will be needed in what will be the biggest challenges for you in re building the country, how we read, how will the red cross play a role in doing that? ah, that's the major challenge for us because usually red cross, this is and you know, like associated with, with a relief. but here in ukraine is the center of the europe. and now we are building our strength is on recovery in the construction. we're building our strategies around rehabilitation, mental health and physical rehabilitation. and of course, they go on the source plan goes social, economic development of your brain. so we trying to

be some to have some changes and changes, but you're doing incredibly important work. and i'm sure many people around the world wish you lots of success might seem to think of the director general of the ukrainian red cross. mr. don't think, and we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight and good luck. thank you very much. thank ah, or turkey he's a president, has warranted sweden not to expect his support in its bid to join nato. his comments came after a far right politician, burned a copy of the qur'an outside encores. embassy and stock home over the weekend. this incident has set off a series of protests are crossed, the middle east ha condemnation and humans, capital santa, against the burning of the koran. islam sacred scripture. the incident in sweden

has caused outreach in parts of the middle east. i got that it's important to boycott sweden. why did this become our gender? had them one with us. uh huh. in iraq's capital, baghdad protestors gathered in front of the swedish embassy, calling for its closure. ah, bobby sigh, this is offensive to own lucy. i'm to 3, we don't want it to happen again. more latin. oh and we're calling on the european union to condemn such insults to religions. shedra this all to jonathan o'hara. well on saturday bras miss paladin head of a far right. danish party held a protest in front of turkey's embassy in stockholm. the swedish danish national set fire to the koran. sweden's prime minister, called the act, deeply disrespectful, but defended the right to free speech that has put sweden's nato application in

jeopardy. a session to the military alliance must be approved unanimously by member states including turkey, who tim is in bure, kids in labor vote, who allowed have such a violinist to take place it for to embassy. not no longer expect any charity from us on regarding van nate's i membership application back there. music that i to go. so that wasn't sorry. i thought you said this at the beginning. i did it so you will let and type it organizations from wild on your avenues and streets in us. allen expect our supports for getting into nato and that that is not happening in your groups. blah de la sweden enter key appeared to be making headway, inmate negotiations. the koran provocation is putting their ties to the test yet

again. hello, hello. hi, this order was on me now as a corresponded in istanbul, dorian jones levy to you, dorian. so we have a, a far right politician, sweden at the turkish embassy and stockholm, who sits a copy of the qur'an empire. as a result, we've got turkey's president saying that he will not support sweden's membership in native. is this the, the whole story here? no, not a tool even before this koran, burning turkey was furious with sweet and over a protest, sorry this month in which and he turkey and he owed one protesters high f e t a word one from a lamp post. now that caused absolute outreach and on cra struck a personal cold with one given the fact that one of his political heroes was the turkish prime minister, non mentors who was hanged off to a military coup in 960. so that this process just added a fuel to the father,

basically, anchors accusing sarcoma of harbouring bolts on claims, a terrorist that's off fighting and seeking on the mindset, stating on quickly as many members of a group that they accuse of holding. so holding a failed coup attempt in 2016 along with courage rebels. so the fighting, the turkish state now saw them say that many of the people on cra calling for to be expedited. they say that they are sweetie citizens. now physical refugees and it's a matter for the courts, but this is done, this will to assuage his current anger and this koran burning. and these latest protest over one has just side to further fuel to the fire and basically proved to be the final storage from um, chris mind that they're ending any hope at least for now of giving permission for sweden to join me. and i understand that elections have been pulled forward in turkey. they will take place in may of this year. does that play a role here in what we're hearing from president, richard sy,

your bear to one when he's speaking to the public about this nice only thing. this is a factor, i'm sure. the 3rd one will see this is a potentially very important critical up with unity as fees lagging. in most opinion polls given the fact that turkey has major economic woes really triple digit inflation, according to some especially food, many people are even struggling to afford food. every day and now that has dominated political agenda one possibly will see this koran burning and it's late. it's a rift between turkey, appleton white and they took as an opportunity. he's aware that he's conservative is religious, and his master the voting base will be looking for him to take a strong stand. even the fact that there's a widespread and 100 acres sentiment among many of his voters standing up to nato and standing up to washington, which is strongly backing, bulk thin and sweden to join. nature will play well with the focus it play well

with his owners, with his base, and let's go into the future then after the election, assuming that air to one can look at the election and may as, as a victory. will he then change his tune? as you say, turkey is a member of nato. will he then stop blocking the membership of sweet? well, i think this was still a big if, if he will win the election puts on that leave. he does when he will feel himself in a very strong position. i will not have to worry so much about his voting bass and will potentially look be open to some possible negotiation. although he will feel itself in a very strong position. he's aware that we've been particularly desperate to join data and 5 suite, 5 minutes on the line saying that this was the number one security priority join nato, encore, please. it will have a very strong hand, but it will be looking for concession, not only from sweden, but probably from the united states, as well as a major arms deal in particular why teach at so on cra,

once to get through. congress remain locked, they will be looking concession normally from sweden and finland, but also from the united states as well. so major negotiations ahead with a limited period of time, given the fact the next native stomach is in july, at least for the a month. for the conclusion, the elections and the nate to summit, the wi fi symbol corresponded dorian jones story is always thinking ah, the german parliament is opening a new exhibition this evening to mark the 70th anniversary of israel's holocaust memorial, gaunt boshamp. it highlights 16 everyday objects that jews took with them as they fled nazi persecution. a one of the mementos belongs to a holocaust survivor. he was now in her eighties. she made the trip back to germany to share her story. oh, bingo. a doll wearing a baby's pajamas is all that's left of laura meyer fields childhood in germany. now the dahl is part of an exhibition 16 objects, 16 mementos of jewish life,
