structures of the central government. both in the regions and in the law enforcement system was much of how a government continues to conduct reforms necessary for our country. this concerns building an anti corruption architecture. this main systematic, an orderly work vital for ukraine, which is of a quiet condition for year integration. ah, also coming up the little girl, her doll and a night of broken glass and exhibition on jewish life in nazi germany. and another and i were hidden by neighbors and day in the meantime the nazis came in. they broke every bit of furniture in the house. ah, which of overview was watching a p b s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome that we begin the day with accusations of bribery and embezzlement in ukrainian politics and the

president's response. today ukrainian president zalinski fired nearly a dozen top officials and accepted the resignation of his own office as deputy director. so lensky saying there can be no return to what used to be in the past many or calling this a presidential purge. that includes governors, one of them from the harrison region, the scene of fierce fighting and 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 today from ukraine's prime minister. what, which a fast food 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 forwards 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. 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 tea, 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 sounds like a purge. is it? well, it's certainly a very damaging scandal, and it's certainly one of the biggest political shake ups in crane since that russian invasion last february. now, the reports here in the ukranian media, i've been saying that some of these political announcements that have been made in recent days had been planned by presidents at zalinski fort for awhile. but there was little doubt that he has come under pressure after 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 a vacation or 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 how 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 sure 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. i think 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 abuse. sonya, of all the car in cave, with the latest to night. sonia, as 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

civilians into safety. evacuation spelled out in red. this is the staging area for patrick mintz and a group of international volunteers in crime. a task. one of the frontline is visible on the horizon about 40 kilometers away benuya audience and in the evening you can see the rockets rising and about a minute later. click on them in a minute and 20 seconds. there's a crash somewhere for them. they're preparing their next relief effort. drinking water and 1st aid training for civilians. the finance with him also. i'm so this is the car we're taking in. it's an armored vehicle. take a leak. there were metal plates, great everywhere. that's how it really is the safest vehicle we currently have. i think it's just a little extra, better security for us. yeah, i put this in this either from it name can. patrick mance gets a call. yeah. and suddenly, plans change can odds of young it's we've now got 2 more people to evacuate. a

woman who's fallen down and an older man who has frostbite and has to go to the hospital on monday. the field will not attend schools most. that's all they know for now. final preparations, then it's time to head towards the frontline in their makeshift armored vehicle thema is ukrainian and is in charge of finding their destination on the google maps all maps, i can find the names of st to just go and s. s goes to the lens military, so where this trees, you know, as of is in height kind and we're not an ambulance. no, in the traditional sense. we have a mattress and we have this pillow. they're nearly at the front. a small village right by the embattled town of solid out 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. leaded mishenko used to be a soldier than he worked in a factory and solider, 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 now? so he will call you alone. i didn't want to be evacuated. but i am a burden because i'm sick with those the benoit. i'm a burden on my nephew who is young. the who he took me in. yeah, i knew. oh, don't mull annoy long all i've had to eat in the last few days. no 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 frostbite. these volunteers have taken over evacuations because nobody else will. their mission ends here in the emergency room of the hospital, where the hand lay on the admin mishenko over. he will probably lose the foot that helped carry him across the don bus. and joining me here at the big table is maxime, don't say co. he is the director general of the ukrainian red cross. it's good to have you where this need. you've got so many challenges facing you in you crate right now. let me ask you what, what are the biggest ones right now in the middle of this war? how like every ukrainian i can say with the want to sit the main we show for the ukrainians. this is to stop this war. that's beds a made for at cross your son or for,

for other citizens it out as you, as a person for a moment. how confident are you? we hear from the politicians. we hear from military strategist 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 wear too much hole 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 red cross. that is main idea. if you bring it across society and this is media of all or all you are across all around it, 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 the winter is ation support at summer and of course, like a 10th of october in this miss, i would like to change our strategies. and of course, if from the very 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 our personal needs, it's about sustainability of health services. our schools most bit rigid, which helps return to a sense of something being normal. and maybe people think there's this perception that once the boards over, we won't need the red cross of the board,

but that's not the cases that you'll be needed there more than ever. i wish a red cross never will needed to do 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 read, holding the country. how will, how will the red cross play a role in doing that? that is a major challenge for us because usually red cross, this is, and you know, like associated with, with a relief. right? but here in ukraine is the center of the europe. and now we are building our strategies on recovering the construction we build in our strategies around rehabilitation, mental health and physical rehabilitation. and of course, they, on the 1st plan goes our social economical development. all of you. great. so we trying to be some to have some changes

to changes, but you're doing incredibly important work and i'm sure many people around the world wish you watch of success. maxime, don't think of the director general of the ukrainian red cross. if you don't think, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. good luck. thank you very much. thank you. aah! 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 his become out with him to have them run without us? i interact 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 just curious. we don't want it to happen again. more latin overall and we're calling on the european union to condemn such insults to religions. shedra this alejandro. hello. well on saturday brass 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 bew, kids in play, but those 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 big there music that i to go. so that was im sorry, i thought you said this at the beginning. i said it so you will let it have organizations from wild on your avenues and streets in us. alan expects our supports for getting into nato and that that is not happening in new york. burbs, la de la sweden enter key appeared to be making headway in nato negotiations. the qur'an provocation is putting their ties to the test yet again. hello. hi,

order. let me know as a corresponded in istanbul door. you jones, give it to you, dorian, so we have 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 toll even before this koran, burning turkey was furious with sweet and over a protest 30 this month in which and he took the anti one protesters high f e t word one from a lamp post. now that calls 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 of non mentors who was hanged off to a military coup in 1960. so that this process just added a fuel to the father,

basically, anchors accusing sarcoma of harbouring bolts on claims of terrorists that are fighting and seeking up on the mindset, stating on quickly as many members of a group that they accuse of holding. so holding a failed attempt in 2016 along with curtis 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 of further fuel to the fire and basically proved to be the final story from um, chris mind that there 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 rich,

apply 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 s specially 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 bass will be looking for him to take a strong stand. even the fact that there is 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 sweet, and fit to join. nature will play well with its 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 that's was still a big if, if he will win these electron puts on task 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 fill in self in a very strong position. he's aware that we've been particularly desperate to join nathan sites. we did 5 minutes on the line saying that this was a number one security priority between nato on crow 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 steel in particular why teachers on crow wants to get through congress,

remain locked. they will be looking concessions normally from sweden and finland, but also from the united states as well. so the major negotiations ahead with a limited period of time given the fact the next native stomach is in july at least once a month for the conclusion. the elections and then a to summit, w symbol corresponded dorian jones during this 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 who 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, feld's childhood in germany. now the dahl is part of an exhibition, 16 objects,
