there was no one on the street because of their own safety and only silence and protest on so for the citizens of myanmar, the military tribe down has also led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. with many seeking it, a fusion draped near bring countries, particularly thailand and the quest video did a climate of fear in the country with people afraid to speak out against the ministry to g. r. participate in protests due to the risk of violence and arrest russian forces in eastern ukraine have gained ground close to baha moved in an offensive that began 6 months ago. only a few 1000 residents remain in the city which has been largely destroyed in the siege. after a successful plea for tanks, ukrainian president voluntary zalinski is now pressuring his allies to supply fighter jets warning. russia is preparing for a major escalation of the conflict with my newly appointed defense minister boris. the story is, has that germany needs to urgently order new tanks to replace those being sent to ukraine. he said for using the tanks was essential. he said this on

a visit to the tank battalion, that is that to send 14 leopard 2 tanks to the front lines in the ukraine war fast and deadly. the leopard too, could be a game changer in ukraine. germany says it will deliver 14 of them by the end of march for ukrainian forces to use on the battlefield. defense minister boris pitt story is visiting the base from which the tanks will come said the decision to send leopard care is a cost. this is still miles already. the fact that ukraine needs every support and left the tanks, whether they are to a 6 is one to a 4. you can play an important role in the ukrainians kind against the russian aggressor. so everyone understands that it has to happen, even though it is of course regrettable end of the exercise and training capacities of being significantly reduced as a result. or at least that would fit that price tag for

a left to anywhere between $3.70 euros. depending on how it's quit, the german firms that make the tank. and now being asked to hurry, to produce new ones to ensure the country can defend itself. 100000000000 euros have been promised by the government to make the bonus. van fit for purpose, but some are already asking if there will be enough. inside this room, if you decide to trying to for me, is that we have to order new tags and not in a year's time, but quickly. so that production can begin. and we can plan how many new leopards we will have available. and when, where the money comes from to put it in casual terms, i honestly don't care. because god, after a period of hesitancy, germany is now showing its military muscle. that new readiness for action brings with new challenges for the country's armed forces. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. today. authorities have read of the home of one of ukraine's richest men,

and former is the lensky l. i. e. the hor, cola moist sky ukraine security service says it has uncovered embezzlement to the tune of $1000000000.00. add 2 oil companies owned until november by the billionaire triggers president ridge of type airlines. his anchor will look positively on fin limbs application to join nato, but he repeated his opposition to sweetens been a recent koran burning in stockholm, angered turkish officials in around half a 1000000 workers have gone on strike in the u. k. teachers and train drivers are among those walking out for thing, the closure of thousands of schools and bringing rail travel to a standstill. it's the biggest day of industrial action in the u. k. in over a decade. you as president joe biden's lawyer says, an f b i search of the president's beach house has turned up no documents with classified markings, but the justice department did take some materials from the property and delaware

for further review. according to the attorney is that they appeared related to his time as vice president, small numbers of documents have been found in binds home in wilmington, and a former office in washington. i was bringing the w correspondent, stefan simons in washington that went even though no new documents were found, f b i. agents searching the home of a sitting president is not really a good look. is that how much of a headache has this all become for vine? not a good look. yes, you're right about that. yeah, well it has to it, it, it is increasing to become a had a for president biden and a nuisance, of course, because as you may be able to imagine that the opposition, the republicans there right in the country here is owning down on this and trying to make, of course, the case that you see what the f b i did,

and the d o j did with donald trump, that he had some documents. here we go. it is now the president himself who also was caught with classified documents in his private quarters in delaware. and as you mentioned here in washington, d. c. now we have to be really fair. yep. that's true. what the devil is in the detail and this is no comparison between what donald trump had, what authorities found it all, trans trumps, compared to mar lago and what the president biden head accident the or it is currently like in his homes and noon. you know, of course, vice president pence has also a classified document problem because they actually found even there some materials . so problem is something is wrong with picking up from the white house, leaving the white house and leaving those documents behind because they are property of the government and not of any person president or not use it at their

the republican party is having a field day with this and to what extent does all this undermine the biden administration's work? well, it's undermines it because he's losing moral grounds, right. if the president himself is the one saying like look what donald trump did is unbelievable and it's wrong and he should be punished for this. not the president said he should be punished for this. but he called president trump out for having a 300 cla, documents being carried off by f. b. i. agents from his moral lago, a compound 100 of them, with markings of classify classification, and some of them top secret even. so he loses some more ground to point this out. but on the other hand, to be fair, there is no comparison actually possible between what was found and the nature of the documents which were found in the biden's homes in rebuff and in wilmington,

as well as he in the office in washington. and what was found by agents f b i, agents in mar, largo and very, very, very important distinction here. president trump did not cooperate to the contrary . the biden administration is going gung ho to really make sure that it's basically open to any requests from the d o j department of justice or the f b i to search whatever they want. they're cooperating actively until today and seem like wherever the d o j lunk or the f b. i love they were finding some things that can we expect more searches in the future or is, is it? yeah, i would love to give you a yes. absolutely. you can get a better on it, but i can't. so they special investigator is now assigned for the trump case. trump investigation, the classified documents found by donald trump and biden. and actually, interestingly enough, this search happened on the 1st day on the job where the special counsel assigned

to investigate this now took to the job at running this investigation. so it is absolutely possible that they find more documents, not necessarily by the presidents, but by other other high ranking, a former government personnel, or in some other facility owned by one or the other president. so everything is possible, nothing is off the table. detail is evidence and joining us from washington tonight . thank you. and pope frances is on day 2 of his visit to the democratic republic of the congo, one of africa's most catholic countries. frances led a huge, open air mass in the capital, kinshasa. more than a 1000000 people are estimated to have turned out to hear him. the pontiff urged the crowns to embrace peace and forgiveness. decades of conflict in the impoverished nation had left millions that look liberal. w correspondent,

mario mila, was watching the math and sent us this update. as you can see, people just leaving the airport here in the masters and it was the highlight of both friends with the trip to the organizer. say, when over a 1000000 worship is attended, it was a joyful celebration with a lot of music. i'm going to read to the people and we got one of them for national languages and she gave those 2 homes to stress the importance of love and tolerance to live together as a community. many people here can actually outside the airport just to get a good position to see the pope with their own eyes. many told us that we're so excited about the paypal visit, the fast since 1985. on friday, the pope, a continuous trip to south dawn, west message will also be about peace and reconciliation. he criticized the international community, had grown accustomed to violence and this part of the world. with this trip, his aim is to highlight another neglected crisis. this mario miller reporting there

wednesday is world her job day and organizers hope this will foster a better understanding for women who choose to wear the garments in india. muslim students have protested for the rights to wear a job in their classrooms. the protest in the southern state of karnataka last year began after a government ban. india supreme court still needs to decide on the matter, but for many muslim students in the country, it's a matter of personal choice. the mobile is getting her masters in communication and johnny amelia islam. y'all, university in delhi. she started reading the job about 7 years ago and is one of 3 women in her class who do so. she believes that women across the world is respectable, their religion should have the right to choose what they want or don't want to where good us as people also stared at her, but that she has gotten used to it. it wasn't something that came to me. all

through family, it was something that i discovered and chose. so as the woman that i decided i was going to read her job, i think that moment it became a part of my identity and became a part of who i was. last year the southern state of karnataka saw major protest both for and against the he job. after 6 students were bought from attending classes for wearing one officials shut down schools and universities for these because they feel it violence. following the controversy that are not at the high court upheld the ban on his jobs in classes stating that the her job is not essential to islam. later, when the matter reached the supreme court, it delivered a split word act. rhythm often talks about the tensions and could not go with her friend nailer, who also, with the hedge up board, said that the controversy had nothing to do with the who job both c. instead, it was about reach yaki and men wanting to control women's choices, as well as with rising islam of phobia in india. non kyla says she does not think

women read the job because the men in their lives forced them to. they do so because of their faith and this is their right. but she and donna are both against the forceful imposition of a job. you can obviously, or a lot of the vest and media news media in general, which is always portrayed. and he job the woman as abreast of boston. whether he job is often seen as somebody who doesn't have their own opinions. somebody who doesn't have their own agency and who is governed by what the men in the life says, i did that agrees a job she has while to take legal recourse. if some day she is told to remove her a job. i know a friend of mine who was refused a job offer the condition for the job. was she after to move her to a job? and unfortunately, she had to leave it. we need to creating to as a societies inclusion walk faces, where every one people from all cultures that accepted and all identities and identical marco's, i'd accepted both nila andrew thus struggle with prejudice every day. whether it is

from an individual stare or a national debate. but this struggle has only strengthened their beliefs and the feeling of empowerment they see the he job has given them for some the choice to where he job is a symbol of religious freedom. but in iran, the job has become a symbol of oppression. more and more women across the country are choosing now not to wear, had scar protests, of swept the country since the death of masa armine in police custody after allegedly wearing her he job improperly. there have also been several executions in the wake of those demonstrations. and joining me now from galway in ireland is the iranian feminist activist and researcher of maya aust of our, my are good to see that. how do you feel about countries banning the headscarf? hi. well, 1st of all, i mean i'm against banning the for the scarf and so i don't have

anything against the men who choose really to where job. that's not ok. i mean that's not my business to, to decide for them. but the other part of the story and the other side of it though, should also be seen as you talk about, for example, you're on and you see similar stuff now gone is done as well. so the truth is that there are women who don't choose to her job, it can be by law that there is impose on them. it can be by their family or their muslim community that imposes her job on them. so what i'm saying with arguing here is that we should also see and hear this side of the story as well. and we shouldn't lay, but it basically as a, as normal phobia. because there are people like me. i've lived in iran for 25 years . they have traumas of experience, of political islam, of men being,

being basically forced to wear her job and their, their story should be also heard. then we're talking about her job. absolutely. can you tell us what the headscarf or the job represents to you? well, to me it says symbol of oppression. but because the experience that i have from her job is that i was forced to wear it since the age of 7. since i was going to school basically. and i know that this story of many of the men, and that's the story because, you know, there are minorities in muslim community, the men entity to people, for example. imagine a trans man or woman and that or a 9 non binary person that doesn't fit even this agenda or to side gender. so if they choose, i mean if her job is forced on all the people,

it's also kind of an operation for them. so we had this campaign, let us talk that basically was asking a muslim be meant to talk about ex, muslim women and women who have experience as long to talk about basically their experience of islam on her job, which might not fit many agendas. i'm might label it a phobia and they're very minorities inside the muslim community who were against her job and who were against islam. so, so for them, their experience is traumatic. dramatic towards her job. and their story is valid and important to be heard. yeah, yeah, definitely. you now live in ireland after living in or you are an island right now . you don't have to wear and the he job and what is not having to wear it mean to you let's miss freedom to be honest. i mean, one of the reasons i left iran was, was that because, i mean,

it's not only what you should remember about her job is that it's not only a clue. it's not only a piece of code that you where you are basically you learn from child food that your body and your body gets sexualized. and as you should cover it from, for example, man from a gates. and that's what we should remember about it. that's not a simple quote, it's basically, it has an ideology behind it hasn't religion behind it. it has political meanings that wants to impose that on your body. i mean the basic right that you don't have to really choose what you want to where. um, so for me it was, it was a, it was an important freedom to be able to wear. so what i want because that's basically the basic for many other rights, many other freedoms. and it's, it's

a freedom that many women and girls are now claiming, and iran to isn't that how does it make you feel to see score in girls and women taking off their jobs to protest against the oppressive regime? to be honest, that's for me, the bravest act of resistance that i've ever seen. and i couldn't believe that i can one day see this kind of sense in iran because i know how brave they are and how do operation and how, how aggressive and violent operation can be on them. but they still decide to resist it. although they know that they can be cute, like, remember, 4 months ago at $22.00, your 2 year old woman, massa, me, me, god, shoot for not bearing hedgehog properly not even, not bearing, not going to the standers of islam. it probably so they can actually get killed for not wearing hedge of what they decide to resist. and you should respect that. yeah . my us to learn a raining actress. joining us from galway,

thank you so much. thank you. a subsidy raise as brewing between europe and the united states over green investments. the european commission has released a plan to make the e u, a center for clean technology and the response to the us inflation reduction act that gives tax cuts for american made electric cars and batteries on which the uses could heard it's economy. the economic transition towards green technology is starting to become a global race. now in august 2020 to the u. s. president joe biden signed the us inflation reduction act into law which included $369000000000.00 to fund green technology. americans who by us made electric vehicles get a 7 and a half $1000.00 tax rebate. it prompted major concern in europe of a return to an american 1st policy. and that e u companies would be unfairly muscled out of the us,

unable to challenge their subsidized american competitors. it has to be simpler. it has to be faster, and it has to be more predictable. we will therefore propose the net 0 industry act . it will focus on the key technologies for the shift to next and it's 0. it will speed up permitting. this is one of the major complain when you speak to the business. but while europe's already im out one trillion euros for green investments over the next decade, this new move isn't technically about specific parts of cash. it's about tinkering with you. rules which have prevented national governments from giving their own companies a competitive leg up. experts like jacob kirk, god said this could result in a split between bigger you countries with big green industries and smaller ones. we're going to see not a trade war, but basically france and germany say all of joe biden is doing it. china is doing

it. we need to subsidize our industry as well and preferably, we in paris and berlin would like to decide what companies get it rather than the european commission. this is, in my opinion, a great danger to the internal market. and i have to say, i foresee are pretty titanic battle. you're also hopes the proposals put forward. will prevent big global companies from relocating their production to the united states. or it's now american football, superstar tom brady has announced his retirement at the age of $45.00. he briefly retired after the 2021 season, but ended up returning for one more year and a message posted on social media. he said this time is retiring. forget, ah, considered by many as the greatest of all time and american football, a serial winner his professional career

began without much fanfare in 2000 johnston as the 190 nines overall pick in the nfl by the new england patriots. after a rookie season on the bench, the quarterback slowly found his stride on the coach. bill bella, check winning back to back. super bowls in 2003 in 2004. for more or super bowl wins followed as plenty of nfl records tumbled. the one blemish during this period was 20 fifteens deflate gate scandal, where he and his team were accused of manipulating footballs to gain an advantage resulting in a 4 game suspension in 2020 after 2 decades with the patriots, brady moved to the tampa bay buccaneers in his 1st cease and with the new franchise, he claimed his 7 super bowl at age 43, seemingly unaffected by age. in return for good. i know

but the whole team changed. so the coach retired, his head coach, retired last year, so there was another different situation and this time he felt that the things the circumstances around him are totally different. and so. ready he should go when it's going to be best, and that's a good decision. up next complex down with tim sebastian. stick around for that. and don't forget, you can always get the latest news and headlines on our website that is d w dot com . i'm the calls really from all of us here in berlin. thanks for your company with a, with
