5:07 am
sanctions against the syrian people. he says corridors are needed to bring in humanitarian aid and he's asking the, you know, nations to coordinate efforts to make that happen as it's done successfully with opposition health areas in the past for you as president joe biden has delivered his annual state of the union address with a message of unity for the united states. he's calling on republican lawmakers to work with his democratic party, to rebuild the economy and bring the nation together. in my republican friends, good work together last, congress has no reason. we can't work together and find consensus on important things in this cars as well. i think. but i think that people send us a clear message friday for the sake of fighting power for the sake of power. conflict for the 2nd conflict gets us nowhere. that's always been my vision of our
5:08 am
country to know which many of yours to restore the so it was nice to rebuild the backbone of america, america middle class and unite the country. we've been sent here to finish the job in my view. all right, let's cross now to d, w correspondent, cutting eci moy, who is in washington, currently not great to see so biden, clearly calling on by partner pipe by part t and ship. i can't get that word out right now. bipartisanship at a time of deep divisions in the u. s. and a very different looking congress to 2022. how difficult is that going to be going forward? katarina? very difficult. but other republicans have a razor, a c majority in the house of representatives as you know. and the far right congressmen and congress, women in congress are all about blocking everything that comes from the democratic
5:09 am
site. and this is also the reason why president biden and started his peach with a little joke, addressing the current president of the house of representatives, republican, kevin mccarthy. and by saying i don't want to ruin your reputation, mr. mccarthy. but i look forward to working with you. now, catalina, the economy played a central role in his address. i'm gonna speak to you again in just one second. let's listen to the president speak about that topic. we're going to buy american bio tonight. i'm announcing news news regarding all construction materials using fertilizer infrastructure projects to be made in america. news news
5:10 am
one, my watch american road, american. how are you going to be made with american products as well? folks? market nomic plan is about investing in places and people that have been forgotten . so career very obese message there from president bind, but of course, at the moment or a lot of concerns as well in the united states. tell us a little bit about what he was saying about the economy at this time of uncertainty for many americans. well yes by then that was very positive and he underlined the fact that he created 12000000 new jobs in the united states in 2 years more than any other president in 4 years, which is through by raw numbers, but not by percentage, but bite. and also underlined that the united states has now a record unemployment. the unemployment rate remains
5:11 am
a relatively sale with 3.4 percent. but the truth is that the latest polls popular show that americans remain upset about the high inflation in the country. and they are worried about the economy by them is trying of course, to convince, particularly at workers without a college degree, that the economy is actually better than they are feeling it. it was quite obvious that republicans, that they did not join the applause on biden's economic accomplishments. they even bought him at certain parts. s, as you probably saw, just. yeah, i mean, it wasn't just the topic of the economy, of course, where there's huge divisions in congress now, catalina president boynton, also expressed strong support for abortion rights. tell us how divisive in issue that is in the us it is a very divisive issue. and abortion was mentioned pretty far into his speech with h. is it, which is quite interesting
5:12 am
a lot because let's not forget that this was precisely the issue. and it truly dominant issue during the midterm elections in the u. s. and especially for democrats, of course, and so there's probably just shows a how divided the congress is and how little they can do to restore a federal right to an abortion people. now let's talk about his international policies quarterly now because president biden also expressed once again, strong support for ukraine. yes. am on the war and ukraine. he clearly underlined the unity of the allies defending ukraine. and he even referred to the ukrainian ambassador and said, we're going to send with you as long as it takes about the most important quote when he was talking about the war in ukraine. apollo as probably we united natal, we built
5:13 am
a global coalition. he was telling about of lower collect coalition showing unity. and this is what he m has being underlying many times every time he talks about the war. and he has been showing unity with the western allies and he has been prioritizing this and narrative. thanks, kara lina, catalina actually in washington. germany and other european countries are to supply ukraine with more than 100 bottle tanks. the german defense minister bars restore is announced to move on a surprise visit to president vladimir zalinski and keith, the tanks being delivered or the older type. one leopard fighting vehicles or the w correspondent, nick on lee was with the german defense minister in keys. and he told us how the visit has been received in ukraine. what's important stress is it, actually, it seems like germany is actually going to meet its commitments in terms of the more modern tanks. it's just the other european countries who've been pushing
5:14 am
germany to send these tanks and who had busy been suggesting it was berlin that was blocking everything. they, if you read the german press, at least it would seem a not capable of basically making good on those promises. and if you look at the kind of ukrainian responses, there's definitely a desire to kind of roll back from some of the kind of open animosity we saw in previous month to kind of work together better. we also saw a boisterous, a meeting, ukrainian soldiers who'd been awarded for various kind of metals for gallantry, who are going to be sent to germany, to learn to use those german tanks. and he was definitely a lot more relaxed in that setting than his predecessor ever was. but i think that if he is a worry here that there isn't just the understanding in germany or in europe as a whole of quite how quickly ukraine needs those tanks, rural, expecting a big russian events in the next couple months. and when you hear about those older tanks being delivered in early 2024, that all sounds pretty scary. and there's a sense here that it may be germany is still not pushing those arms manufactures enough to really deliver faster to ramp up production. and that, you know, it's going to be the same story every time over and over again. ukraine asking
5:15 am
ukraine, losing a lot of people on the ground and then receiving equipment, a bit net to slow and, and to small companies. nick connelly reporting there while you are watching tito view news coming up next. our documentary looks at the fight against terrorism in the sa hale region of africa. and don't forget that a fe you want to stay up to date. there's our website dw, dot com, and you can follow us as well on our youtube channel. and of course, on our social media accounts, twitter and instagram. the handle is d, t o b, and use. i'm pablo photo. yes. in berlin for me, the team here. thanks for watching. take care and i'll see a varies with leonardo da vinci's, mysterious masterpiece is perhaps the greatest leonardo masterpiece of the
