oh mm ah ah ah doesn't say that we knew supply from berlin, the new plants, new sanctions on moscow by february 24th a year since russia's invasion of ukraine. european commission president was it off on the line, and a team of tom you officials have been holding talks with ukraine,

followed and we are zalinski and keep ahead of a summit there on friday. also coming up, russia marks 80 years since the battle of stalling brought blood and we recruit and commemorate the soviet victory over nazi germany and attempt to draw parallels with his war of aggression in you crate. the global energy crisis is not a crisis for shell. the anglo dutch oil giant posted a record profit of $40000000000.00 for 2022 prompt im calls or a windfall tax. i'm drugs gangs a wage. a dead leave battle for the market in europe. police struggle to control the cocaine trade at the port of and we're in belgium. and many port workers are scared to talk about what they know. ah, i'm nichol furnished our viewers on p

b s in the united states and all around the world. of course. welcome is the biggest e u delegation to visit ukraine since the start of russia's full scale invasion. european commission president was left on the line and several other top european officials met with ukrainian president vladimir zalinski and keith to discuss new sanctions on moscow. as well as e u aide to ukraine. there was the feel of a family get together as members of the commission gathered in cave for a historic joint meeting with the ukranian government. he, you commission president or sullivan de lion said they were there to show you epstein's as firmly as ever with ukraine in its war with russia. our presence in keeping today gives a very clear signal. the whole of the european union is in this with ukraine for the long haul. and we will stand up for ukraine as we stand up for the fundamental rights and the respect of the international law. but amid still

the smiles in solidarity sits. another issue, i guess, for you, oh ukraine's president followed him, is zalinski. once she craned to become a fully fledged member of the e. u family. and quickly, i moved that bond to lion appears to endorse you, prepared your application for the european union membership brilliantly. i know it by experience you became acquainted at country while fighting an invasion. you continue to make impressive progress to meet the 7 steps of the commission's opinion. part of that progress is renewed crackdown on corruption, including this rate at the home of one of ukraine's most prominent billionaires. just a day before the e. u team's arrival in cave. that timely demonstration of the landscape determination to prove to doubt as in europe, that he and his government can be trusted. not only as a future e u. member states,

but also with billions in aid as him when the country starts to rebuild video door level. but regarding for reconstruction of you, there were a lot of discussions on various levels in europe regarding the rebuilding of our country after the war concret. now it is time, i think, for more concrete details luasa both for fast reconstruction given and for fast financing of his process for are important for process in the here. and now the e. u has promised to continue its support for ukraine by hitting russia with a fresh wave of sanctions. who, when it comes to e. u membership, looks like president lensky would just have to wasted bocce. and for all that i am now joined by journalist alessandra. she's the editor in chief of your a might on press and joins us now from the korean capital. keith, good to see you. earlier. this is a historic summit. what did the ukrainian people think about more than a dozen

e u officials visiting keith? well, ukrainians are demonstrating record high support for you membership and more than 86 percent of the credits for the countries session tonight or even more supportive session today if you and union union. so we are very happy about the summit of seeking listen cubit, definitely sounds a strong signal that you is together with you is supporting us. as a commissioner, president of underlines words today that the future of use being decided in ukraine today. they really sounds of their, an unprecedented signal of sports and we're very grateful for this, but we're not alone in this fight against russia. you member states chosen just or to send a request for freedom and you is synonymous with you is really it's a symbol of what we aspire to, to be free of the russian empire and authoritarian regime. so

today's summit in cuba definitely on the strong signal that they use boarding ukrainians and are russia. but symbolism aside, what is ukraine hoping to achieve with a summit? because the swift membership seems to be quite unrealistic at this point. well, i think the swift membership has been somewhat a misunderstood. there is no really possibility to to sort of fast track everything without implementing the necessary the necessary requirements are very clear criteria for you membership. and unless, until you crane implement that decision will not be made. so basically from the summer ukrainians are hoping for very concrete decisions that will help you crane be practically closer to europe already a decision has been made. 2 next session granted to the single market which will

help integrate ukrainian economic centers to the u economy. this will help us with recovery probably now and during the war. also, decisions are acted about session to the free roaming zone and a. 3 extension of the over so under line of the lease agreement on free customs are free, expert customer, pre i speak ukrainian, doesn't that you lost your thought. so very concrete, practical measures that will practically bring you closer to your band or is that will support our economy. and this is what we expect. but as well, resolute use sanctions against russia are going to be. 2 discussed as well as military isn't worth needs to keep russia because before that happens, it's unrealistic to think that your brain will get except on to the e. o. so 1st we need to defeat russian,

that we need to do it on the sandra journalist and editor in chief and you're a might on press joining us from keith tonight. thank you so much for your time. thank you. russian president vladimir putin has attended the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the soviet victory over german forces at the battle of stalingrad in the city now known as vulgar grad. wooten began with laying a wreath at the memorial complex to the fallen red army soldiers. he later spoke at an event where he criticized germany for helping arm ukraine, who said russia is once again threatened by german tanks for all this is, is the latest attempt to compare rushes war against ukraine to the soviet victory over nazi germany and world war 2 let's listen to some more of what good now to say . you are a yoke? no, no fuck. it is unbelievable. noah. but it is a fog. me. excuse me, duncan. we are a gang threatened by german leopard. tongues with crosses on this side disorder.

priestly. we swear you, we have not sent our tongues to that boulder, but we have something to answer with this. and the use of ahmed vehicles will not be the end of it yet. yeah, everyone should understand this sir. version at the point where he w, russia, analyst, constantine, a god, gave me his impression of foot and speech. well, it's very standard putin of the last months. and i would say, i would say in the years are comparing what happens today. his invasion of crying to, ah, nazi germany is invasion of the soviet union. more than it is again a basically it always struck me by the way. the call is that it is keeps the arnie's keeps him, it's know he's playing the knots roll in some way or if you, if you extrapolated. but i think that this is a message that he has been hammering home all the time. we are engaged, we as russia are engaged in exec, existential struggle,

which is only core to the 2nd world war, which is called the great path re arctic war, or in the sort of june and modern day russia. so i mean, he's not veering off from, from, from the script and he sees himself as i do now. probably not as joseph stalin, but as during his yoke of a stollins, a number one marshal who was a very successful military leader of the time. so yes, we do see potent, once again telling the russians the law that happens to day, or rather as it schooled in russia to day. a special midra operation is absolutely comparable to what happened between 19411945. but you know, you just said it there. if we want to go into that comparison, the roles between that war and this war are very much reverse now. so who exactly is this narrative aimed at? because in the west, this is falling on deaf ears. everybody knows what happened. so does the audience

at home, believe him, who is he, who is he targeting here? well before i also give you an example, a friend of mine who is a presenter for one of a russian independent and a tv and youtube channel channels. oh, told me a week ago that she was trying to fix to explain to her mother who's probably 60 or something like that. that it was the soviet union that invaded poland in 1939 together with nazi germany. and she told me, my mother didn't believe it for a 3rd time. so it put in his aiming at the oldness in russia, which believes that russia is never at fault. and at the same time, this is the audience that, well, if not support the war, then at the says, okay, put in those what he's doing and put in his always trying to consolidate his base. and this is exactly the message for it. but now the enemy's not, you cry. if you look at russian propaganda channels, they're all is full of praise for the ukrainian people both and float, rushes,

fighting nato in the proxy war. this is the message that's being sent by put into the russian people. and that's why he mentions low bar tanks with crosses, ah, own them, they're not going to have any crosses on them anyway because they were going to be repainted in or by the ukrainians bought. the idea is to invoke this old saudi. it adara that the whole europe was against the soviet union during the 2nd world war. so essentially we have action replay of saudi propaganda. bach with use of, you know, more than television techniques, social media, and relentless, 247 propaganda. and that makes it auth warren, dangerous d. w. consenting again in vilnius. thank you so much. thank you. appleton, he is german support for a ukraine to draw a parallel with nazi germany. i asked italy and political correspondence. simon young at berlin as prepared for this kind of frederick. yeah,

i think so. i think vladimir putin has done this again and again, he's got his own version of how the world works. he says that he's in ukraine fighting what he calls ukrainian nazi isn't now here is doubling down with frankly offensive suggestion that the modern federal republic of germany is somehow in league with nazis. but of course, german leaders know very well that it's, it's easy to misrepresent your support, giving now to ukraine as it, as it battles against the invader. as by making these comparisons that putin makes with the nazis in the 2nd world war. the ukranian soil, after all, is the very territory where some of the worst not sea troy cities were carried out . and indeed, pushing himself with speaking today on the site of stalingrad,

the biggest battle in history with the death toll of 2000000. so, you know, it's easy to sort of mix up the history and i think that's what people hear as see that by the mir putin is doing, i would say, oh, la sholtes has been speaking the evening. he did just directly respond to vladimir putin threats. but he did say that it was time for vladimir putin to withdraw from ukraine to make way of open the way for peace talks here. and he also said that he would continue to speak with that. he may approach him by phone as he's been periodically doing. do you think the threats that we just heard coming from russia could reinvigorate the debate over providing key with more arms now that we're talking about fighter jet why will invigorate probably those on the far right of german politics, for instance, in the ifd party. ironically,

it's they who are closest to vladimir putin and have been speaking against the arms deliveries. i think as far as the german government is concerned, it's now sending leopard tanks. it sends a lot of other equipment over the last months. and you know, as the debate goes forward, people are conscious of the need for caution and the need for circumspection. but sir, i think the german government sir, commitment to back in ukraine is very clear. didn't examine young and berlin. thank you so much and abate about sending battle tanks to ukraine has erupted in belgium, even though it's military, has no extra teens to sent as because one private citizen has a warehouse. all of them. the ceo of a belgian weapons manufacturer says he's willing to sell his store of german made leopard one tanks to the government. oh, they would need quite a bit of fixing it. miss warehouse in rural belgium. dozens of

leopard one, tongues sit and used among a catalogue of military paraphernalia. they belong to freddy bas loyce, the ceo of a defense company who purchased them from the belgian government in 2014 after germany agree to exports new a leper 2 tanks to ukraine. the businessman said there's been renewed interest in his stock pile dead out of government cern, which we have a let's say currently in discussion. yeah, i just got the recently a, a call from the ukraine government. so yeah, yeah. so there's a lot of interest, but that's because the german government gave export licenses. and until today that wasn't the case. but this also the u. k. government, we talking to the swedish government so that a lot of government interested. but we'll have to see what happens. so the news has

spot to heat a discussion in belgium about if the state should buy back the tank to send to keep . but belgian defense minister loot of indeed honor has accused the firm a financial opportunism. was your decision, these belgian tanks were sold for a price of 10215008 year as in as they were no longer working. nothing prevents us from buying them back, but they are not operational in it. and we're not going to buy them back. unreasonable price is either and at the moment they're a belgian companies that make a margin that is unmistakable. there is an ab for slice, said the tanks could be battle ready in months. but regardless of the prospective buyer, the sale would need to be sanctioned by both germany, where the tanks were made and belgium, with a currently reside. take a look now some other stories making headlines around the world today. the prime minister is a finland and sweden se they remain committed to joining nato at the same time.

they were speaking a day after the turkish president repeated his opposition to sweden's bed. a recent koran burning and stockholm was has angered conqueror. the european central bank has hiked interest rates again, increasing them by half. a point to 3 percent on thursday is the 5th hike in a row intended to curb euro's own inflation is the be president costume now guard underlying the banks continuing drive to tame inflation. even as the european economy slowed, saw him reduce. 2022 has proven a record year for energy firms. u. k. headquartered shell is the latest to boast. unprecedented profits for the year of almost $40000000000.00. rising oil and gas prices after rushes invasion of ukraine men shall doubled. it's 2021 earnings and massed its previous record that in 2008 the you and the u. k. of already imposed windfall taxes on energy companies who have been able to earn one household have

suffered a cost of living crisis. let's discuss a lumber year for the world's energy companies with rob watts from d w business. how could, shall make this much money. i mean 2022 is always going to be a good one for energy firms. the year started with oil and gas prices rising, because you may remember the economies were just starting, getting a go getting going again after the worst of the pandemic. but then we did have this cataclysm in february when russian tanks rolled over into ukraine. the invasion began and immediately oil and gas prices shot through the roof as people became concerned about whether or not this war was actually gonna have an impact on how much oil and gas they could get. so you know, a barrel of brent crude oil, which is one of the ones that we always use is just a sort of a benchmark rose to a $130.00 per barrel. it to sort of the year at $70.00 per barrel. so you know that that's a doubling in the space of a couple of months. and gas also did the same, but it also got pushed up even higher when russia started the throttle,

the amount of gas that it was sending to the european union. and you know, when prices for oil and gas are high energy firms, making a lot more money cuz people are paying a lot more for that oil and gas. and that's why we're here talking about companies like shell posting, record profits. but also earlier this week, we have exxon mobil in the u. s, who also made record profits 55000000000, ask them even more than shell. i'm not going to suggest it any of these companies wanted to see a war in europe, but you can't doubt the fact that the benefits assignment and the people who are paying for it all. how have they reacted because there is a cost of living crazy happening, you know, around europe. yeah. there is, and this is particularly better in the u. k. where shell is headquartered because of how to particularly acute cost of living crisis that we've seen. energy companies going bust as the government tries to forcibly keep bills down people, but nevertheless, people are really struggling there. the opposition party in britain,

referring to shows profits as outrageous and saying that the conservative government richie soon act isn't doing enough. but you k is one of the countries that has introduced a windfall tax on profits for companies. exactly like shell who have benefited from the war there. but it only covers the money that they made in the u. k. we say about 5 percent of their income so shows on cost to pay about a $123000000.00 in when for taxes for last year, but in the face of $40000000000.00 in profits, not huge, wrong business. it themes route. what's the w of is the thank you so much. a suicide bomb attack on a mosque in pakistan this week has left the country security forces unsettled the attack targeted officials praying at the building, which is located in a secure police compound. the bomber was reportedly disguised in a police uniform. now officers are calling from measures to protect the people

tasks with protecting the public. oh is a red protest. they're not civilians, but police officers in pakistan's happened, but to a province demanding security. su, thank bombing in a mosque on monday, killed many of their colleagues, but this is not the only attack militants here. i relentlessly targeting the police last year, more than 100 police officials lost their lives in desert related incidents. i was them every day. are men are being martin, a know what is protesting and asking why they're being killed. don't know what is it under g. m from on your head? how did a suicide attack it into the police compound? we demand answers, we go up, we demand justice for our dead incom isabella. as this protest was happening,

funerals were taking place, but the guilt in the glass dis, family. if morning there last, a policeman with father was also killed in a bomb attack. more than 40 ethical and just a few kilometers away. and their family is grieving for an officer who leave behind a widow and fight children with these frequent attacks on security officials mean civilians do are forced to stay alert problem bliss of now when the police officers pass me, i fear that if the police are attacked on i might also be attack an armload, but if the people are meant to protect us are being attacked for them. who will really protect us. going got a got a product. these are investigating who is responsible for the mosque attack. as security forces fight history, 13th of militancy in north western pakistan,

the port of ant were of, in belgium has become the number one gateway for latin american cocaine destined for europe. the trade is controlled by powerful international gangs and comes with high levels of violence and corruption. the problem is so acute that and or was mayor is calling for the army to be deployed in a will use terry sholtes reports looks to me like a leslie cough very small and completely ropes. is that what the drug dealers are using some from on the recent shooting death of an 11 year old girl in her family home in antwerp, believe to be an accidental killing in a dispute between gangs has drug culture research to in wharton fearing attacks will now spiral, i hope it won't be cycle revenge, because then you have a whole new level of violence with infant predictable dynamics. felton authorities seized a $110.00 tons of cocaine last year, a record, but they estimate that's only about 10 percent of what's imported. not enough to

disrupt criminals business. they're boosting their efforts planning to deploy more than a 100 extra people at the port along with new scanning equipment. but the added scrutiny may make smugglers even more determined to recruit insiders to help get the cocaine on to land. they're already targeting port employees. they approach you very directly as show pictures of the family of her gets off of friends. and this is a, not a very subtle way of working it's, it's a real threats stephan van for him as the general manager at alpha port vodka, which represents employers at the port of antwerp. he said it was risky to even speak with us on the topic. i realized that this is a danger maybe also for myself and my family. i think there is no alternative for them being open about this problem. if you stay silent, i considered us to be cooperation to these guys. i think we need to stop them. that's a top priority for the you police agency euro pool,

because so many other crimes are linked to drug trafficking. whoever is involved in drug trafficking is also involved in money laundering and document for europe emphasizes it can't even begin to tackle this problem without help from around the globe. yon up in north says they're increasingly teaming up with origin countries like colombia, as well as places where king pins often. he says it's working step by step. quite a few of high volume targets were taken out, were arrested in dubai. and, and they were alleged lee orchestrating cocaine trafficking into the u from dubai. so this loophole will be close. so there many loopholes remain open, but to invite and says doing nothing. it is not an option. you're just gonna say, oh, we just let them do their way. an oliver did the city of the country and europe flocked with cocaine. it is not an option. in the meantime though, the piles of confiscating cocaine in belgium are so big already that authorities

fear the gangs will try to steal the drugs back before they can be destroyed. and a quick reminder of the top stories were following for you to repeat, commission president was left on the line. has said that the you plans to place a fresh sanctions on moscow before the 24th of february, exactly one year after russia invaded ukraine. funded line made the announcement at a summit and keep the sanctions are expected to include additional price caps on russian petroleum products. and russian president vladimir putin is attending celebrations to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the soviet victory over german forces at the battle of stalingrad food. and he used a speech to criticize germany for sending text to ukraine. and i'll be back after a short break to take you through the day hopes thinking their with

ah, with ah mm ah, ah, uncall. yeah. is in the throes over real estate front. the target to metropolis is running out of affordable housing as more and more russian are buying and renting their prices are excluding those with average incomes can no

longer afford to live in their city and are being displaced focused on europe. 60 minutes, w. o . and in many countries, education is still a privilege. hummadi is one of the main causes some young children work in mind. jobs instead of going to class others can attend classes only after they finish working with millions of children all over the world can't go to school with them. we ask why? and because education makes the world more, just make up your own mind. d.

w made for mines ah glee, oh no davinci, mysterious masterpiece. oh, that is perhaps the greatest leonardo masterpiece and the collection of the louvre, and no, it is not the mona lisa. it is the virgin of the rocks. was there another symbolic meaning to this beautiful painting that perhaps we just don't understand? the search for answers starts february 10th on d, w. whatever russia might have in store, the e. u will be by ukraine's side, a clear message delivered personally to president the lensky by each eve or the law fund. align a timely expression of support as fears, grow and keep that russia.
