putin's army help tell the story of the russian and baby and noble needs for the oscars route. will look at which films could bag the biggest prize in showbiz plus by and make their pans wait until the dying minutes, but it was worth it. jubilation. polos is spectacular. dole from y'all to what kimmy that saves the day for the defending champion. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you. with us, german media reporting the chancellor ala schultz will today announce a decision to send german made leopard tanks to ukraine. he is also expected to approve requests from poland, 10 other countries to do the say. the decision comes amid increased pressure from western allies to scale up military aid. 40 of ukraine wants to use the battle

tanks to reclaim territories still occupied by russian forces. ah, german chancellor, olaf schultz has reportedly decided to send leopard tanks to ukraine and allow other countries such as poland and finland to do so to leper tank. so used by a number of nato countries. they're seen by defense experts as the most suitable heavy battle tanks for ukraine's needs follow to me. it's lensky welcomed the news, but says he meets $300.00 tanks. which about awarded put on there was a lot of talk about tanks. know about the modern tide. young need wars and how this deficit can be fail if it's in many effort is words promises, or beach, but it is empower lemme reality, but it is not 5 or 10 rather. leukemia thanks to this, anita is greater yet less we do everything and what he just filled the debt is out aly session. i thank everyone who's helping us unless the juggle cosmo gordon me at

on us. sean will be 3. as he spoke, report to march from the united states that washington was preparing to send. he runs em one battle tanks. while on confirmed such a decision would mark him major turner road. though it could take months before the weeks ukraine, the m one is a complex weapon system that is challenging to maintain as we've talked about. ah, that was true yesterday. it's true today will be true in the future. again. well, without getting in hypotheticals, any time that we provided ukraine with any type of system, we provided that the training and sustainment capabilities with that the development common master, a number of allied countries, expressed frustration with germany over rich reluctance to a low tank deliveries. they needed barrel lens side off to transfer their road. they now appear to have it. the news has gone down by sleep in russia. of course,

these deliveries would bring nothing good for future relationships already and they will leave a lasting mark with the world. no wait to see whether you cream, get the tank set so desperately once and in time to fend off a russian offensive in the spring. last our political correspond told the sparrow if we could expect an official announcement by chance will shoulds to day on the delivery of leopard. thanks to ukraine. we can indeed, terry expect an announcement to day, especially as chancellor shawl has a scheduled meeting in the german parliament. so it is very probable that he will announce that approval coming from germany, not only when it comes to its own leopard tanks. we're talking here about 14 german lepper tanks, but also authorizing allies to send their own german made leopard tanks. it is certainly an important decision coming from germany, not only because of the pressure that the german government had been on the

criticism that the german government had received for what allies considered germany's reluctance on the international stage. it will probably help ease that pressure if indeed the german chancellor to day as expected, confirms germany's approval when he comes to the leper tax. what led to this decision, thomas? on the one hand, the growing pressure on germany to do so, coming from different allies, that certainly one element that has to be considered. but the german government has stressed on various occasions that it did not want what it described as unilateral decisions. in other words, only sending german made tanks and that's why part of this decision will probably also be that the u. s. will send its own u. s. mate tanks as well. this is part of germany's understanding that these decisions have to be made together with its closest allies and not only germany deciding on the delivery of those tanks. on the one hand,

it's the pressure. on the other hand, it is certainly that idea that for germany is particularly important, that decisions when it comes to military deliveries to ukraine, have to be made in accordance and hand in hand with germany closes international allies. so when we put those 14 leopard tanks that you're talking about together with all the german support that's gone there. so for where does that put germany in terms of support for ukraine? well, it certainly puts germany, and that's something that, by the way, the german government has reiterated many times in the past, it puts germany at as one of the countries that has helped ukraine the most, not only economically and politically, but now clearly also, militarily, as well and that, despite the criticisms coming from germany's allies about germany's reluctance, and the fact that it takes a long time when it comes to making these decisions, germany certainly among the countries that has helped ukraine the most. thomas, thank you very much for political correspondent, thomas sparrow. calls for berlin to approve delivery of leverage tanks had been

growing louder in recent days. but just what is it about the german made tank that makes it the weapon of choice for ukraine. it's the flagship of the german army, the leper to a heavily armed battle tank with superior firepower weighing close to 60 tons. it can hit targets at a distance of up to 5 kilometers and protect itself and other vehicles from all kinds of threats. while still being agile and easy to maneuver, that's why it's widely regarded as the best of its kind, developed for the buddhist van more than 40 years ago and built in germany. the leper too is now also used by many other countries, especially in europe, but also in canada. sheila cutter indonesia and elsewhere. more than 3500 units i used world wide by some 19 nations. overtime the tank was upgraded and adjusted for

use and specific environments. so several different versions have emerged and not all of them are still up to date. refurbishing them to make them fit for combat in ukraine takes time. so even with a political decision made, it could take months until the leper to can make a difference on the front line. more we're joined now by des mathias bellinger who is in kia. but he is. how are you koreans reacting to reports that their forces could soon be getting modern german battle tanks from the west? there has been an intense campaign on social media and, and civil society in ukraine for these tanks, for germany to send these tanks. and a lot of frustration with the hesitant german position so far. so you can imagine that term, there are lots of people who are now expressing a joy. there is the hope that this battle tank will make a big difference on the battlefield. it will help the ukrainian army to get into

the offensive to get the upper hand again and just that's why civil society is welcoming this decision. and people have expressed gratitude to germany for finally making this decision. and the hope that things will change for ukraine with these tanks. now that there are many different types of tanks out there. of course, why has ukraine been asking specifically for german made leopard tanks? so there are 4 turn space basically that are designed, heavy tanks, battle a combat tanks are that are designed to meet the soviet army. there is the abrams from the u. s. there german leopard and there are the french and the british tanks, the laclare and the challenges or the late letter to have not been produced in the same quantity. so it would not be as easy to free as a certain amount. we've just heard zalinski talking about several 100 tanks that are needed for, for ukraine arm and between the german and the american version. there is not

a big difference. i understand in terms of combat in capabilities. but the aprons are using more fuel and they're more difficult to maintain. it would require more logistics. that's what we've been hearing for the past few weeks. and that's why the germans are the favor. it. they have very good capabilities that designed to fight these soviet t 72 tanks that russia is mainly using. and there's a considerable number in a lot of countries. so it's success as an expert. a good is basically on the basis for it's a for, for why ukraine really wants this tank there is in, there are enough of them as ukraine weights for those new weapons to arrive the tears. what's happening on the battlefield right now? yo is so seeing heavy battles in the east, mainly around the city of back maud and neighboring settlements,

and the russians ha, having the upper hand there, they have a lot more ammunitions and a lot more personnel and a lot more a weapons there. so there make making a lot of pressure, it's still the same thing that we've been seeing in the east since the beginning of the war. they're throwing a lot of material and are off for a personnel towards the front lines and making pressure on the ukrainian or positions unless my ukraine is hoping to get the upper hand again by bringing in more heavy weaponry. but he has thank you very much for that update. there was our correspond mathias spelling of their in chip when ukraine has been battling the russian invasion for almost a year now. and for many documenting what's taking place, there is extremely important. now objects left behind by retreating, russian soldiers from weapons and books. 2 cans of food are being put on display the objects tell the story of an unpredictable war. sonya followed the car has this

mid week buddhist legal action. now in leipzig, we're looking to carry on the form that saw them take a point from league leaders by and munich the weekend. they were on the road again, intent on beating shaka and climbing the 2nd in the table. this time and they did it in bold fashion, jenkins and started the game by gathering in the dock to sing a song of hope that soon wished they didn't bother switching the lights on us. all . they exposed the yawning gap in class between the sides. under silva got the 1st go in the 7th minute, wasn't yet a disaster for the home side, but it soon would be. benjamin hendricks got the 2nd on 15 minutes. andre silva had the colony sought again for the 3rd from close range t. my vanity marked his return from injury with the 4th. he glared at the crowd and the crowd looked back vacantly wishing perhaps they could be back in the dark again . for neil at half time, it would finish $61.00. the penultimate goal came from

a smiling spaniard. denny alma. a gorgeous bit of skill, a slow draw humiliation as the stands emptied behind the keeper, lighting up to 2nd joke. still rock bottom, they fancy stay to the bitter end left with that familiar. sinking feeling in tuesday's other games, cologne traveled to munich as rank outsiders. but came within a whisker of pulling off a giant upset against leaders by him. blown took an early lead, which they held until the dying minutes. that was when your swan kimmy stole the show. is long range strike allowed by on to snatch a droll in spectacular fashion contender for go. oh this season for more last i had been as legal action. i'm joined now by jonathan craig from dw sports. good. see again, jonathan. so by and are still without

a league when this year. what's going on? john? strange, really to be off the rice given regarding had 2 games. but this is the mighty by munich. we're talking about right. they've on the last 10 lee titles before the winter break. they'd $110.00 games in a row, so it's normal. i guess they were asking these questions. people are sitting up and taking notes. yeah, they were very bad apart from that amazing goal, of course, by your sure, kim is very bad against keller. not that usual ruthless selves even though they did dominated possession, but off the page they been having problems as while beth stall go, keep man, well, no, i broke his leg well ski. he's a massive loss even though they have replaced him quite well with yan selma. then they sax, they go, keep in coach that was out of the blue, he's a very close friend of my one noise noise. disappointed about that. and then we had sash map re who's been singled out for criticism really. he attended paris fashion week. the clubs that that was amateurish and should be focusing on his foot or, and he was hold off at half time. so we're clear what his coach takes. now, the man that replaced him kingsley come on,

says the entire team does need to improve. we lot small small, we will to, we was a bus on gave those to really the rule. they show that next you have to do better. i won't say a lot of things better. we know that some of this is only not a really good, then you need to put it on to future. do you believe you on this? i've done that way better. so jonathan bion drew leipzig, 161 ah, the gap is down to 4 points. there at the top, do we have a title raise on our hands? i think a lot of the choices certainly hope so. like not the most popular team in germany, but fine of one. the leaks so easily over the last few years. i think people would like to see something of a challenge like sick, brilliant again, chalka ok shall cra 14, which is school 6 goes away from high without their top goes for the leaks top score. christopher group shows what kind of fire power they have. they been amazing since martha rosa took over that 112 out of that last 15 league game. so it does

look like we have a challenge. the next round of games will be interesting because by and face frank frank who are currently 3rd in the table, likes to have an easy game against god. so that one will be crucial, frank, for that you could even close the gap even further tonight because they're playing against fried okra, facing the table. that could be now 3 points at the top, if i insure up front. but when that just to mention as well before hoops bug, they won 5, no against hatchet ballad. they won 6 now at the re can, so they are the red hot form side of the moment. johnson craig from dw sports, thanks so much. you're welcome. watching dw news ah ah, with
