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 german 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 leper tanks from germany can be a potential game changer for several reasons. you know, for one, it will offer 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. and it's an

invasion of ukraine. these are the tanks that'll also be deployed in the east and find the 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 shake ups in cranes 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 president sentence. zalinski fought for a while, 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 kazi ties width of businessman and using their flash cards to get to vacations and for drives. and presidents zalinski of this weekend really bowed to take a 0 tolerance approach to this. he's now also said that he will band government officials from traveling aboard for 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 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 what corruption, and on the gaki for years, you know, officials and businessman sure have a said to have really cooked up, elaborate and looked at 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, that they've pushed aside their concerns about corruption in the rush to supply ukraine with weapons and to 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

civilians into safety. evacuation spelled out in red. this is the staging area for patrick mintz and a group of international volunteers in cromwell task. one of the frontline is visible on the horizon about 40 kilometers away when you yeah and, 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 men team, although i know this is the car we're taking in. it's an armored vehicle. take a leak. there were metal plates great everywhere as 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. i could feel will not on since continentals 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 maps all maps, i can find the names of st. just go and s s goes to the linda military. so we're this 3 as soon as of isn't tied kind of, 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 are 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 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? no, he never call you alone if i didn't want to be evacuated. but i'm a burden because i'm sick with no rush to benoit. i'm a burden on my nephew who is young, but 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 use boiled sausages and macaroni. i tried to eat a little cool. there's no toilet here to live and yet as we missed him,

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 they hand lay on the admins shank 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 cinco, 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 the one to the main, we show all the ukrainians. this is to stop this war. that's dead. the main for at cross your song 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 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 i. d of 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. are schools, most beetles rigid, which helps return to a sense of something being normal. and maybe people think there's this perception that once the war is over, we won't need the red cross of the war,

but that's not the case. is it? you'll be needed there more than ever. i wish a red cross never will needed to do this globe. but unfortunately, ah, now we're leaving 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 holding the country? how will, how will the red cross play a role in doing that? that that's a major challenge for us because usually red cross, this is, and you know, like it's a shade with, with a relief, right? but here in ukraine is the center of the europe. and now we're building our strategies on recovery in 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 this you don't think we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. good luck. thank you very much. thank you. 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 stockholm. over the weekend. this incident has set off a series of protests across the middle east ah 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.

letting me know as a corresponded in istanbul. dorian jones give it to you. dorian, so we have a, a for right politician, sweden at the turkish embassy and stockholm, who sits a copy of the qur'an on fire. 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, no, the toll 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 over 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. now mentors who was hanged after a military coup in 1960. so that this process just add a 3rd of fuel to the farther basic the encores accusing sarcoma,

harboring votes on claims, a terrorist that's off fighting and seeking on the mindset, stating on quickly, many members of a group that they accuse of holding for holding a failed coup attempt in 2016 along with courage rebels. so the fighting the turkish state. now, so come says that many of these 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 has done this will to assuage his current anger and this corps on burning . and these latest protests over one has just further fuel to the fire and basically proved to be the final story from on 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 poured 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 my son, the thing, this is a factor, i'm sure. the 3rd one will see this is a painting. the very important critical up which unity sees 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 so many political agenda, one possibly will see this cor, i'm 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. and even the fact that there was a quite spread antenatal sentiment among many of his voters standing up to nato and standing up to washington, which is strongly backing. both fin and sweet and fit to join. nature will play well with the focus. it will play well with his owners with his base,

and let's go into the future then after the election, assuming that everyone can look at the election and may as, 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? what i think missed was still a big if, if he will win these electrons, puts on leave. he does when he will feel himself in a very strong position and will not have to worry so much about his voting base 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 button, so probably from the united states as well as a major arms stealing particular why teachers on crow wants 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 once a month for the conclusion, the elections and the native 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. god beacham. it highlights 16 everyday objects that jews took with them as they fled nazi persecution. 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. or inger, a doll wearing a baby's pajamas is all that's left of neuron, minor fields, childhood in germany. now the dahl is part of an exhibition 16 objects,
