[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, germany approves the deployment of its battle tanks to ukraine. chancellor sholtes tells parliament that his decision to send the leopard to tags, follows intense consultation with allies. that comes as the u. s. appears ready to poll, so syntax to key. also coming off the momentos of lives that were up ended by the holocaust go on to display. the german parliament opens an exhibition of personal items, each of which tells

a powerful story of jewish life in nazi germany. and the pain caused by the regime and buyer and make their fans wait until the dying minutes. but it was worth it to believe in following this spectacular bowl from nuance of kidneys that saves the day for the defending champions. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. germany has given the green light for german made lepper tanks to be delivered to ukraine. it is also a proving requests from other european countries to transfer their leopard tanks to keith. initially, germany will send 14 techs and provide training, ammunition and maintenance. ukraine has been asking allies for these weapons for months, as its troops try and push back russian forces. russia has slammed the move,

accusing germany of abandoning its historical responsibility to us. now, speaking was parliament a short time ago, chancellor schoultz stressed germany is working closely with allies and does not want to widen the war in ukraine. from one we proved to alton a credentials in our coordination with friends that we are doing nothing alone. it's not far away from berlin, that a miss warren on a big country emma is taking place. and with all we do, we need to make it clear, agree, we'll do it, or do anything necessary to support ukraine. but at the same time, we want to avoid an escalation of this war. it's so that it doesn't become awarded between russia and nato. and for more on this decision last spring and chief political correspondent, nina has a who is standing by at the german bundis talk where the german chancellor has just spoken. nina,

a very significant decision. just walk us through it. well this is extremely big news, sarah, of course all of shows have come under a lot of criticism from international partners, but also from his own government coalition, especially from the partners, the greens and the f. d p from the opposition. basically everybody criticized the same fight. we just don't know. does all of charges want to deliver combat tanks? doesn't he? why would he want to do that? or why wouldn't he? he'd just remain tight lips and it seems that he was working behind the scenes to forge a coalition of international partners now. and the details have now emerged all of charges. now on record as saying that gemini will indeed deliver a company of leopard 2 tanks to ukraine. this is the weapon system that ukraine has indeed asked for. they consider themselves the, the weapons to be the most efficient ones and effective ones on the battlefield. so germany will deliver those 14 tanks of the a 6 type, 2 ukraine in

a coalition with others. that means that gemini has also given the green light to other partners like poland, that for a couple of days now am have asked germany to get this permission to re export those german made tanks. because those are dominique export rules. you need to ask for approval if you want to have the sell sell the weapons that you've bought from germany to other countries. now this is something of cause where also the relationship with the u. s. plays a big role. we're hearing that washington is also now willing to send some of its abrams tanks. and, and the idea is we're hearing from the german government to get a to the italians actually to ukraine as swiftly as possible. so that means a 2 battalions with 40 tanks each. some of them coming from germany, but some also coming from other countries and swiftly. what does that mean, nina? i mean, when we look at the situation on the battlefield for ukraine, they want them as quickly as possible,

don't they they do want that as quickly as possible. now the defense minister has also said that the 1st german tanks could be in ukraine or within the next 3 months training will begin immediately of the defense minister also said last week that other countries can already start training ukrainian soldiers on those weapons. so that of course, this can happen as quickly as possible. apparently, also the discussions were very much focused on which model of the leper two's to deliver to ukraine so that they don't have to meddle with completely different systems. that is, of course not something that ukrainians need on the ground. they do need something that is effective and efficient because everybody saying they need to be prepared for a situation. if for us a launch is a big offensive in the spring, then ukraine needs to be able to counter that. talk with us about the decision itself to san tanks to ukraine and how it fits with germany's approach and helping

ukraine so far. well of course these fits very much in this change of path am when it comes to germany's approach to delivering weapons to crisis regions. gemini, broke with a big taboo after russia launched its full scale invasion in february last year before that. and germany was not going to exports weapons to active crisis regions . now that a to be, was broken with. and then many people around the world wondered why germany was being so hesitant when it came to delivering air defense. but ultimately it will have show it's did approve at defense systems like the iris t system to be delivered to ukraine. then m, germany announced in january that it was going to also send ahmed fighting vehicles . so this is a slow process here and all i've shows kept stressing also in the speech today that he needs to have the german public on board because there is a lot of fear. there is

a lot of the public opinion is extremely divided help for ukraine. yes, but we mustn't be dragged into this war. and especially germany can't be seen as the one country that delivers those combat tanks. we need to be part of a bigger alliance. and there the u. s. played an extremely big role, but also the european partners. nina hossa in berlin. thank you. so what's the russian reaction been to this news on supplying tanks to ukraine? i put that to d. w's, constantine egbert. in vilnius. so far there are little events and actually if you google the russian website much yet, however, the, the, the russian investor to the u. u. s. mr. until nov already said that, well, that's no problem. these thanks would be destroyed than the bout vill like like the tanks were in my suspicion is that's up the line is going to be a well, it doesn't make that much difference, especially because the initial,

a quantities of this tang saab or not huge m is the number numbers are 1420, something like that. so i suppose that there will be less talk a red lines, and more talk about how it's all completely insignificant, because russian armies very strong, can destroy this arma, without any problem. ok, causing meantime, were almost a year into this war. russia ordered a partial mobilization of reserve. s back in september. first of all, where does that stand and is another expect that well, mr. perkins ah, leather put missouri, the spokesman mitre pisca repeatedly said that that's not, there's not going to be any new mobilization known you mobilization is on the cars and frankly, i think for, for it's a very rare occasion what he's saying. the truth is telling the truth, i think mobilization is ongoing, puts in the will not to risk in those seeing another big one just because he does

want to destabilize the situation. russian society, so far as pretty lethargic concerning this war and put in wants to stay that way. if he wants to grab more conscripts, oh mercer's. for the wagner group, he can do it without announcing mobilization. i think that's creeping process is going on. and i think that's going to be the case for the foreseeable future. didn't be as konstantin accurate reporting on the russian position. thank you so much. thank you. harris. some other stories making headlines. the european court of human rights is set to announce whether it will hear a dutch case against russia over the downing of flight and made 172014, all 298 people on board. the malaysian airlines flight were killed when it was shot down by a missile fired by forces under moscow's command in eastern ukraine. microsoft is investigating an issue that caused world wide disruption to several of its services,

these personal stories through the unique objects, individual fades, intertwined with those of the millions of jews who were murdered or driven out a piano. an evening bag. a 12 year old diary. ah, all history, it's interesting. yeah. ah, laura meyer feld now lives in israel. she donated her doll to the yard vashem holocaust memorial so that we never forget or and now to some other news, iran has said that it will respond to the latest sanctions imposed by the european union and the u. k over to ron's months, long crackdown on protest in the country. it's one of the most heavily sanctioned countries in the world and its economy is in crisis. inflation is high and the gap between the wealthy and the poor is widening. poverty is also

a major reason for the ongoing demonstrations. a quick look around the fleshy consumer goods on display here. and you'd hardly guess that iran is in deep crisis . but it's household goods industry is struggling and the economic sanctions imposed by the united states and europe are making business even tougher. tad, him ha, the sanctions have made bank transfers difficult. both are imports and exports. for example, we have to buy our raw materials like steel abroad, but to transfer money for it is difficult. that's shy. but most people here know that the main causes of iran's economic crisis, a domestic, they politely referred to endemic corruption and mismanagement as economic problems that will, that we shall, problems are enormous and they have their roots in our national economy. if the economy improved, all branches of industry would benefit and everyone would get their piece of the pie, the harmony this,

our team was allowed to visit the nab factory for hours drive south of terran in cholos. it's the 1st time since anti government protest began in september, that the authorities of allowed us to leave the capital. here to, there have been protests, but the government wants to show that it has things under control now, just like in tehran, inside the knob, the factory, they say that none of them joined the protests manager monsoon mohammed de gives us a tour. he says there are no more spare parts for the german made machines. so the company is turning to countries who are not imposing sanctions, such as russia and china. the sanctions haven't really affected their production, but trade has become harder in more martha here. we also have customers in india, but they say we can't send you any more money. instead, we can give you black fabric for your char doors or rice syllabus from us i told,

understand the salon religion. necessity is the mother of invention. nab has reacted to western sanctions by opening up new markets in asia in the middle east. and they've seen growth despite all the problems. but the protests are a symptom of dissatisfaction in the country, compounded by high inflation. or food mol, mother, we want our nation and our government every one to sit together. mistakes need to be corrected. and the problem is between us must be solved. to take the pressure off us. you'll love us. but european countries are hitting iran with fresh sanctions. they hope that by keeping pressure on the regime, they can force change and this by western sanctions. tehran has continued to carry out executions and biling leaves suppress dissent. i asked sarah basil bondi, a research fellow at the giga institute for middle east studies in hamburg,

whether the sanctions are showing any signs of working well, i mean, yes, they sanctions have impact a have affected the government's revenue. there has caused a huge declines, various episodes of dick nines, the by ear value of the national currency. they have pushed a lot of economic problems in addition to what your report mentioned. being in partly referred to as a structural problems in the rain in economy, including the severe corruption that exists. so that yes, the sanctions have indeed played a role. ah, but the problem is where the sanctions is that the elite and the policymakers who have control over all the strategies of the country over the foreign policy, domestic policy, fiscal and other economic strategies. they also are in control of resources. therefore, they can and they have the ability to manipulate these are circumstances in their

own favor and in the detriment of their majority of the population that that has a need to have happen. so with that in mind, what possibility do you see for western sanctions to be more effective at provoking positive regime or, or policy change in the country? i think we are moving towards more meaningful, more targeted sanctions that are addressed um towards individuals who bear the responsibility of these violence, these atrocities and so on and so forth. and the conversation around, for example, listing a designating the i r g c as a terrorist organization is a huge signal for these kind of developments that hasn't been approved yet. but at least we can see that we are moving towards these kind of directions. and so i think the only way full words to them send a signal to the people by the way, to come in to see that the west is supporting their coil. was sending a strong signal to the regime that the west is not going to tolerate oldies and

intolerable violence and crackdowns. and also hoping afford weakening the regime and facilitating a smooth transition of power. i think the only a policy that we have in our toolbox left ease, i'm imposing, targeted, meaningful sections. okay. do you think that that message has been heard by the iranian people that they do indeed have that level of support from the west? there's been lots of ups and downs. there's been lots of push and pull the iranian our public. i'm is at least part of this in a segment of the society. part of the site is convince, thought they specifically the europeans would like to put their feet in the door, so to speak. as we have a saying in far say that if the door is going to be shot, they are not going to be caught inside or outside of the door. so they want to keep this channel open to assess the situation to see who's am i going to win? well,

either the people or the regime and be able to continue maintain certain level of diplomatic relations with the army or the powers that elite or empower. and i think this is that is the fairly correct assessments, and there has been some push and pull. there are some negligence on by the european policy make as this, this should have been done a long time ago in a, a for the past decade or the conversations about iran was minimize to one issue. and that is the nuclear power human rights abuses and other issues in iran had been completely neglected. so it is a still not to lay its air, but there is a still very little dawn. there can be done more and a public are and especially the protest. those in iran are waiting for that. sarah vazo vandy are joining us from the gate, the institute of middle east studies. thank you so much. thank you. the nominations for this year's oscar awards have been announced to los angeles. the german anti war drama. all quiet on the western front has 9 nominations, but the sy fi head,

biographical coming of age tail. the fable means it stands michelle williams, who is also in the beginning of a leading actress, gone. that has been nothing but just read from you for when is will be announced at a ceremony held next month. so let's talk a little bit more about the german found all quiet on the western front, which has garnered a slew of nominations. could it come away with the most awards? here's d w scott roxborough, who yeah, well, and i don't think we'll take out all of them. that would be a bit of a bit of a reach i think. but it, 9 nominations is really phenomenal. i mean for a non english language film to do that well is almost unheard of. i've, we've seen like 2 films, roma mexican fell from a couple of years back and crouching tiger hidden dragon, meaning sort of epic or chinese language. a movie. vague both are 10 nominations, otherwise it's never, it's never happened before that a non english language don't get so many nominations. i mean, i think that almost guarantees all quite on western pro hall walk home with

a few awards. come the academy awards in march, and it's really impressive movie because i say not only is it the 1st german adaptation of remarks, anti war novel, which of course was written in german. and it also really combines sort of the sort of epic war movie that is quite popular with the academy awards of, with a very sort of international perspective and a very almost unique perspective, the sort of drip perspective of the ordinary german soldier in the 1st world war incredibly powerful movie and really great. it's really great to see that it's done so well, at least with the oscar nominations. and that was got roxborough. now in sports mid week. wonderfully, the action where leipzig were looking to carry on the form that saw them take a point from league leader spire munich and the weekend they were on the road again, intent on beating chalka and climbing to 2nd in the table this time as they did it in bold fashion, joke offense, started the game by gathering in the dock to sing
