front lines of the war in ukraine objects left behind by putting army help, tell the story of the russian innovation and europe top human rights court says it will hear the netherlands case against russia over the downing of a passenger flight in 2014, all 298 people on board, malaysia airlines flight 17 work held when the plane was shot down by russian backed ukrainian separatists and an abundance they got buyer and make their fans wait until the dying man. it bought it was worth it. jubilation follows a spectacular ball from knows what cambridge that saves the day for the defending champions. ah. hello, i'm claire richardson. thank you so much for joining us today. germany has given the greenlight for german made leopard tanks to be delivered to ukraine. it's also

a proving request from other european countries to transfer their leopard tanks to cave. initially, germany will send a 14 tanks and provide training ammunition and maintenance. remember that ukraine has been asking allies for these weapons for months as its troops try to push back russian forces, the russian embassy in berlin. for its part, hans denounced germany's plan tank deliveries as, quote, an extremely dangerous decision that could draw germany into the conflict. while speaking to parliament, a short time ago, chancellor, olaf schoultz stressed germany is working closely with allies. we have end. okay. you know, we will provide leopard to main battle tanks to ukraine slide. this is the result of intensive consultation, along with our allies and international partners, not so long problem. and i want to say explicitly as well, it was right that we did not allow ourselves to drift to listen to that. we rely on

this closed cooperation in such matters. not solution. angelique had said, well we've been talking about it all week, but how big of a decision is this? i put that question to detail these political correspondent, simon young. claire, i think she's a massive decision from olaf sholtes and potentially game changing in this war. as the german defense minister, both stories has been saying today, not in itself, perhaps because the number of tanks that germany is promising is initially not large. but if it opens the way for other countries to send tanks, particularly those countries also have german made leopard tanks, in which of course, as you mentioned, germany is now saying it will not stand in their way if they want to join in this effort. so, you know, that could be a lot of leopards and all the tanks going in to ukraine. that's exactly what

president zelinski has said that he, he wants, he's looking for the opportunity to win on the ground. and indeed, in the take back some of the territory that russia has sees. and another thing about this decision, it could be the 1st step for germany to gain back some of the international trust. it's last that germany can be a leader in the west, in response to this conflict. certainly has been damaged during the last weeks of hesitation by allow sholtes. you mentioned that germany last that goodwill in waiting to deliberate over this decision. we're now hearing the us indicating it sounds like it's also going to send tanks. do you think that that is the assurance that chancellor sholtes was waiting for before changing his mind? yeah, well it's not clear what the us is going to announce, but i think what is true is that there are many people here in berlin who are

expecting tank announcements from both washington and paris. and that really is the point from left shorts. his point of view, he wanted to act together with the other western nations to show that these decisions were being carefully weighed in order to send the picture to the outside world. and particularly to russia. of course, that nato and the western countries are not divided in their response. and also to make it clear that no one country was, you know, could be accused by russia of escalating this conflict even further. so what other factors and concerns went into making this decision? because surely there was concern over rushes, reaction to a perceived escalation from germany. yeah, well the, the german government has said from the start that it was worried, as i said about escalating about provoking russia and, you know,

that is a concern. but our position politicians have increasingly been making the point in recent weeks. what is the difference between some of the other help at the heavy weapons indeed that germany has been sending into ukraine. and these tanks, which are really going to make the difference. you know, the, the, it's already clear which like germany was on. but it was a case of making sure that the germany and it's other leading partners, particularly the u. s. were acting in lockstep. thank you so much for that update. i dw political correspondent, i'm and young. let's get the view from washington to and bring in d w as in as paul in, as president biden do. to give a press conference in about an hour from now. what can we expect to hear? well, expect her him to announce that the u. s. will deliver abrams tanks. sir,

we hear the figure of 31 and they will be send and there will be also heavy training coming was said, we hear that yes. will be willing to train ukrainian soldiers outside ukraine. we don't know yet. this will be happening here. in the united states, or maybe in germany, we don't know that, but we are pretty sure that a biden will announce in libya, less than an hour that the ice finally also will be sending tanks to ukraine. now we know german chancellor, all our sholtes insisted that germany would only agree to send tanks if the us also agreed to do so. how much of a role do you think that played in biden's decision? you know, claire, it's quite interesting to see or to follow this discussion here from the united states because i, for example, ask no price, use the spokes person of the secretary of state 2 days ago. if a child since hesitation kind of harms the german american relationship and he said,

no, we are really aware how far germany came in this last year. and there's a lot of understanding fall off short in his position that it's not so easy for germany to send these tangs. and that's also something i've just heard in the background or this morning. they had very, very intensive, but obviously very positive consultations, biden and shoulds, who called each other couple of times just the last days. so there is quite some understanding, but i'm sure that the final decision here to send abram tangs to ukraine has a lot to do with shawls as request to see the us joining in this effort to, to, to, to support ukrainian. the ukranian military with heavy tanks or washington bureau chief in his poll. thank you so much for that update. well, it's been almost

a year since russia's invasion of ukraine. and for many documenting what has been taking place is crucial. now objects left behind by retreating, russian soldiers are being put on display from weapons and books to cans of food are corresponded. sonya found a car has this report. gerry, now what the ankle has been receiving some unusual parcels. the fish belong to a russian soldier. when it smells terrible, it separates, and this is the glove of a russian pilot. she regularly takes it to ukrainian soldiers on the front lights in return, they've started to send her objects that russian troops had left behind them. jolena herself visited a school in carty, a city that had been occupied by russian forces for 6 months. then she found russian language textbooks. even though she reach you, i entered the can tell, i don't know why i collect this prior. it starts many emotions when you go somehow,

it's interesting, it's in me, it's linked to history. for the higher some say i gather things related to death and it has bad energy yet i will eventually give it away. all sorts of things left behind the russian forces, a piling up everywhere. curators created an exhibition here in keith's world war 2 museum, just month after the russian and vision last february. you re sub ciocca says it's the 1st of its kind to be held during an ongoing war. he collected most of the artifacts with the help of the ukraine and military, and that's a wholeness of dania. the common are main task is to document this war in order to preserve its memory and reconstruct it for the next generations. learn a stockton and authenticity is what is most valuable and important. seeing that these objects tell the story of the wars to see this, to view on this to

a war that is inescapable. there's a power cut as we speak. sir. this is of russian national dish. she a vegetable soup, very famous and russia. disney dormer, many of the exhibits were found the region around keith and chimney, who, in homes, trenches and basements the russians occupied before being washed out by ukrainian fossils. the also, the museum has made it a mission, is to continue collecting items wherever they can. this has been good authority when new territories are liberated and we tried to get there right away o'clock within the ship because the face of this war changes so fast was a more publicity, as of some insur obituary. all these objects could disappear, some horror, some people could just take them to a bowl and then the boys we need to gather and hold on to these artifacts in order

to show them in the future. superman with key news material because of one gluten war for now this seems to be no shortage. the city itself is something of an outdoor war museum where we have some breaking news coming in and police say 2 people have been killed and several others injured. and a knife attack on a passenger train in northern germany. the incident took place as the train was traveling between the cities of keel and hamburg, who he's arrested the attacker in the town of brock stats. the motive behind the incident, still unclear, are going to bring you more on this story as we get that information. and in the meantime though, let's take a look at some other stories making world news headlines. microsoft is investigating an issue that caused worldwide disruption to several of its services, including teams and outlook. companies not said how many users have been affected by outage tracking websites have logged thousands of incidents globally. teams

alone is used by more than 280000000 people. hope francis has that being homosexual, should not be a crime in an interview with the associated press upon to acknowledge the catholic bishops in some parts of the world still support laws that discriminate against the l g. b, u plus community about again however, still considers the quote act of homosexuality to be a sin. enough. chris hopkins has been sworn in as new zealand 41st prime minister. it follows jacinto jerome's unexpected resignation last week. akins will have less than 9 months before contesting a tough and general election opinion holds suggesting his labor party is trailing the conservative opposition. we absolutely stand with you crime while the earth in court of human rights has ruled that the case of the netherlands versus russia is admissible. the dutch government filed a complaint against russia because of a malaysian airlines flight shot down in 2014 in eastern ukraine. the case hopes to

officially determine the russian states role in the downing of flight and made 17 horses under moscow command in eastern ukraine used a russian metal to shoot down the passenger jet, killing all 298 people on board. earlier i spoke to d. w. special correspondent, i even him who followed the ruling in strasbourg, and he told us what the court's decision means for the victims of the crash, his relatives, and also for russia while we're here in strasburg, that's where the decision was. read just a few minutes ago, claire and, you know, just sitting in the room, there was a representative from the netherlands, a representative of representatives from ukraine, but no representatives from russia. the russian federation has, has sent nobody to hear this. and that tells you pretty much everything that you need to know about this is that they don't really care. this is not something that they really recognize, but just to give our viewers also just

a little bit of context about this court. this court is part of the council of europe, a. and just last year, after the rushes, aggression on ukraine, russia left this, this particular international organization and also left the european convention on human rights. so it's, it's really more about giving a signal to the victims that they will have their day in court. now this is not really a judgment on, on the case, this is just saying that the court will hear this case. but at the same time, if eventually the ruling finds that russia is guilty, they would legally have the right to a compensation from the russian government. because of course, when this happened, russia was still a party to the convention. also interestingly, the dutch government is accusing russia of human rights violations for dis, information regarding an age 17. can you tell us what it means by that?

well, but what they mean by that is just how much russia has been denying and denying and denying its involvement in this whatsoever. and what the dutch government argues is that that violates you know, that the families of the victims is rate to, to information to, to, to holding the truth about what happened to their family members. and what can we expect to happen next in the coming days and weeks? these rulings takes time just to give our viewers a little bit of context. this complaint was lodged in 2020. so this takes, this can take years. and we can expect a lengthy, a process before there is a final decision from this court. thank you so much for that update that state eli is a special course on it. i even in strasbourg, while the german parliament has opened a new exhibition to mark the 70 at anniversary of yad vashem israel's holocaust memorial. it highlights 16 everyday objects that jewish people took with them as

they fled nazi persecution. each object telling a powerful story of displacement and tragedy. 16 objects, one to represent each german state, recalling the human tragedy of the holocaust. a torah shrine from hamburg. the suit case from bremen. the child's dome from castle. these items once belonged to jews, living in germany. now they've returned here and are on display at the german parliament. the objects of from the collections of yad vashem, the world holocaust remembered center in jerusalem. his chairman, danny diane once vowed never to set foot in the land of the perpetrators. but he changed his mind in order to accompany the artifacts which he says can help prevent a repetition of nazi crimes in a reality or friday. god, they send me these them and holocaust distortion with fewer shah survivors alive

every day. this outstanding items have a vital story to around the world. and especially in germany, isn't going to getting that message across to the younger generations is more necessary than ever. according to babble bus, the bonus tugs president, she believes, seeing real objects which have meaning for jewish people is a powerful way to do that. when does turn off with, if this is combined with the story about why a doll or a bag was so important in those bad times. an item which perhaps helped someone get through or produced good thoughts in that terrible time? thinking about that stuff you up inside and the impression stings on all from the black hang objects and stories can do a lot of the work of keeping memory alive, bringing them into the political heart of the modern german state, underlines that,

that work continues. let's bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines. a tornado has torn through parts of the us state of texas flattening buildings and bringing down power lines and communities east of houston. there have been no reports of any serious injuries bought the national weather service in the u. s. has described the damage caused by the tornado as catastrophic columbia. as navy has seized more than 4 tons of cocaine after discovering it on board, a semi submersible ship for crew members on board, the ship have been detained. officials say the hall has a st value of nearly $24000000.00. columbia navy has seized nearly 10 tons of cocaine. so far this year. of political campaigns are getting underway in nigeria, head of next month, general and presidential elections. voter apathy has always been a concern in previous elections,
