ah ah ah ah, ah, this is dw news lying from berlin, ukraine's western allies. they, they're doing all they can to keep keep supplied with ammunition. dozens of countries meet and brussels to discuss ukraine's appeal for more heavy weapons, including fighter jets. also on the program. she has rejected allegations that it's

planning to overthrow the moldova government. although vice president, my yasandra, has accused mosque out of plotting to overthrow her administration using foreign saboteurs. disguised as protesters, ukraine's president followed him re valencia also said peeve. uncover details of the alleged russian plans, but the russian foreign ministry says the allegations were baseless, accusing ukraine, and moldova of a smear campaign was bringing about 10 schafer. he's the managing director of the institute for the danube region and central europe. good to see you. an anti russian smear campaign or a russian cool plot. what do you think? thank you very much for having me. well, i think that the history and especially the recent history of the last 12 months, has shown us that the half life of whatever is said by the russian administration is very, very, very small. and therefore,

i would say it's correct when the mold oven president, my son, to a cause for the country and its citizens. jap, maximum vigilance. i think it's correct to be on high alert. nevertheless, it's hard to judge if there is an actual cool lot going on at the moment from the side of the russian federation. do you know what evidence we're dealing with for a possible cool plot here? sorry, i couldn't hear that question. is there any evidence that has been shared already with the public about a possible cool plot? well, we only have heard what the ukranian presidents lensky and the i'm and my son moved over the president half been publicly announcing over the past couple of days. and i think that it's a bit too early to really uncover what is going on there. but once again,

i think it's right to be on alerts. i think that the, the ongoing hybrid warfare and the ongoing threat that comes from the kremlin towards the government of the republic of moldova is a very real and it has been something that we have seen for the past couple of months, even. yes. today, moldova even briefly closed its air space sighting security concerns. you say there is reason to be concerned among the mold oven leadership about possible russian transgressions. what shape do you think those could take? well, i think the closure of the air space today was a precautionary measure. we have seen in recent days and weeks that suddenly unidentified flying objects and balloons are popping up whatever the reason might have been. again,

i think it's good that the administration is on high alert and it's ready to act. if there is something happening. i think that the security threat from the side of the russian federation towards moldova is actually very low. it has to be seen in connection with logistics. yes, the russian army is present in the frozen conflicts in moldova, in the region of trans mr. however, i don't see that there will be a military threat towards the republic of moldova, but these hybrid threats and also the, i'm subversive actions coming from different actors that have been cited b, it's for, from serbia, to have been allegations with the upcoming on football match between shifter high school and parties on paragraph into dates that this might be a possibility to a,

bring on the cover agents into the country. it's hard to judge, especially from here from vienna, but nevertheless, i think it's it's, it's the right call to be on high alert and it's also the right call to act accordingly. as the president, my son who is doing that, especially from the institute of the danube origin and central europe, many thanks to joined us tonight from vienna. thank you very much. there are some more stories making use at the sour. the european parliament has approved a law banning the sale of new fossil fuel powered cars within the european union by 2034. the measure is part of the blocks efforts to become climate neutral by 2050 china's president, she didn't being as hailed the close relationship between beijing and terran iranian leader ever, i am right. you see is on a 3 day visit to china with a focus on strengthening trade and economic ties. in that direction. again,

former us ambassador to the united nations nikki haley has announced she'll run for the republican presidential nomination in 2024. she's the 2nd contender to join the race after her former boss from president donald trump. recent polling shows she has the backing up just with 4 percent of republican voters asked. if i'm going to run for president. when 40000 people are now known to have been killed and the earthquakes in syria and turkey, united nations says it's the worst natural disaster in the region. in the past 100 years. the focus of the un operation is on caring for people who've been made homeless, but emergency crews haven't given up on the search for survivors. and people are still being found alive. more than a week trapped under rubble. 17 year old mohammed is pulled out alive and got home on marsh and turkey near d at the center of the devastating earthquake. he's carried to an ambulance. o hm,

it's brother. becky is rescued soon after. but hopes of finding more survivors are fading fast. rescue teams are scaling back operations to focus in both turkey in syria is shifting instead to helping survivors. first with immediate relief, like food, water, and shelter. and then assisting them long term. the rescue phase is dragging live people out from the rubble and finding those who died in the rubble that's coming to a close. another you my turn phase. the urgency of providing shelter psycho social care, food schooling and a sense of the future for these people. that's our obligation ago, syria's infrastructure was already battered from over a decade of civil war. in some areas, the earthquake brought total devastation, liking government controlled aleppo. people are waiting for shelter,

tents and blankets, but mistrust of the regime runs deep. many fear the 8 coming into the country will not reach them. serious government has so far only allowed 8 to rebel areas through one border crossing probably, but in an unprecedented move. it says it's reopening 2 additional land crossings with turkey, syria support. the entry of humanitarian aid into the region through old porcelain cross points with ever from inside syria or across the border. for the period of 3 months is displaced, syrians living in dire conditions and the rebel health northwest can only hope the promises kept sunk own shallow mobile. in turkey, the disaster destroyed 10 cities. at least 40000 buildings collapsed or worse,

severely damaged. many now need to be demolished, turkeys government has been accused of a slow response to the quake did in a relief and long term reconstruction are set to be a major challenge, multiple service along with housing. the millions who are suddenly left homeless are correspond. jack parish isn't got young tab and southern turkey were thousands, have been left homeless. this here is a municipal park in central ghazi, an tap. it's a southern turkish city of about 2000000 people. and as you can see, a number of tents have been erected here to house refugees who had to flee their homes in the earthquake. now, many of the homes that they have to, that they had to flee with ones up on this hill just here or in a local area around here. and essentially the authorities haven't been able to tell these people that their homes are safe,

yet. they haven't been checked or the homes are not safe, but in a lot of cases as well, the people are to traumatize and too worried to return back to their homes, fearing the structural damage that may have taken place during the earthquakes. now, one of the big issues in this camp is access to tens. this serial family told us just now that they had to wait 2 days in order to get a 10 or many people have had to wait many, many more days than that. there are quite a lot of syrians here, people that fled the war in the past 5 to 10 years and made a home in this part of turkey and then have had to flee those homes. once again, due to the earthquake that hit this area just over a week ago, there are also local turks and kurdish people living here as well. now, well, this park might not be an ideal place and certainly wasn't designed to house this kind of tent city. there are some facilities here that make it a relatively good place for them to have set this up. for instance,

there are toilet blocks already here that people can use as a library just and the way over there that has been turned into a makeshift clinic. now one of the big concerns for the people that are living in these hands, especially from, for the ones that are actually from this part of gas yann's had, is that within 60 days, they will have to return back to their local municipality to register. and they don't know what they'll be, whether they'll be able to return to these 10 is afterwards. but the ones with the 10, so actually the lucky ones for every one else that hasn't managed together 10 yet. they're sleeping on the floors in these buildings and the situation that isn't very nice for them as they wait for a slightly more permanent place to live. there are 8 organizations here providing food and water, a medicine. but there is a lot of fear for the people here. they just don't know what's going to happen in the coming days and weeks for more, i'm joined now by kit me a lot. oh,

he's the global cl, me a moto international, a global structural engineering. and disaster management firm, he joins us from a donna turkey today. welcome to d, w. the death toll has reached 40000 in your opinion, why has this event been so devastating? well, 1st of all, this is a huge, huge error symbol, a symbol of 5 back back. that's something that we haven't seen duffle quite a long time, and it's a quite densely populated. i think about 10 to 50000000 people talking about 40000 fidelity out of 10000000 a point 04 percent. that's something that we expect are for quite a long time. fingers are now being pointed at the authorities, but also at building contractors. who do you think is to blame here? well, i mean the 1st of all, yes, the truck is building code change in a around a 2000 a late 99,

a late at night night 9097. the 8. so okay. before the 5 make was never been of consideration or anything billed prior to that. we athena, there is no earth cake resistive components at all. so they are really dangerous. there's a lot of stocks and didn't like got to there. i was in a city with di i incredible. i'm talking about probably 90 to 95 percent of the beauties thought in certain areas. completely flattened because there's older building stocks. now also that one thing though a turkey does not have the license to step here. they do have a great education system. do have a good engineers. good. have a good building, go to by the way, and good contractors has no license or contractors and engineers and there's no technical inspection during the construction record. is that mean that anybody can go ahead and build an apartment building?

yeah. when yeah, you get a contractor if you want. sure. you get, i mean i put this, i was of a contract here. they try to do good thing. you know, they still like they wanna cheat or kill people. they don't do that. they just try to do good thing. that's one thing i know. but prom, it is a, there is no engineers of the buys them. how to do it. you know, i mean, so there's like, it's not about the blame, an individual's more like a system, a system have to change of this license system, an inspection process and stuff like that was saved in 10000 lives. sluggish. yeah . tens of thousands of buildings have been destroyed, which is thought there in the report, the how long will it take to make the affected areas livable again? well, i mean, you're going to see so area here we see a shoes, destruction. i'm talking about 89 percent of building stocks. gall and i mean just hor was look like, i mean i go through a great a lot for a lot of jobs and it's worse here. actually just amazing. destruction was by this

a natural you been and i think certain area will take years. but churches, government, you know, let me do. i know people talking about church and gotten in slow. that's actually still true compared to what's going on international. this come in actually at the movies really fast, even bass and maybe shoes or something. places. it's and it's a huge event that they do invest. they care for us. i can see it. i would say the area will take probably 3 for 5 years. but people day charters, people in the government there were determined to make this happen. you will do that, but there's a many things you can go much faster do by the way. there's a lot of beauty can be repaired to really quickly. i think death to me like a little high influence. hit me a lotto. thank you very much. thank you. sherman choreographer margot jekka is under police investigation for smearing dog feces in

the face of a critic who gave them a bad review. the attack took place at the opera house in the city of hanover or go, okay, is ballet director? the journalist says geico confronted her during the interview, all of a ballet before taking a bag of dog feces out of his pocket and shoving it and her face. all the story is certainly making headlines around the world and david levitz from the deli is culture desk, is here to walk us through it. if this is not the kind of story we usually talk about, is it? no, it's not. it's not. and it's, it's sort of shocking to see that this is probably the world's best known choreographer at the moment. and also the world's best known dance critic at the moment. and it has nothing to do with their work it's. it's really something out of a bad teenage movie. so mark ogre is actually a very prominent choreographer. he's very well known here in germany. he won germany's top dance prize last year, furious at v. who star his victim here,

she's known as probably the dance critic with the sharpest tongue in germany. very formidable, very well respected. and she recently criticize a work of his calling it an embarrassment. she said that she went insane watching it, that she also died with. she said she was killed by boredom, watching it very harsh criticism, obviously. and when i saw her at the theater, he decided to confront her group because also known as quite a quite a character he usually keeps. his dog is docs and gustavo with him, and it happened that he had just taken krista for a walk and decided to save stubs excrement to use as a weapon against the dance critic houston. the dance critic says that she screamed when she went to wash her face off and finally she went to the police. all right,

so there is a police investigation. now ben has got good faith, other kinds of consequences already. yes, he's been suspended immediately from his job. he's not allowed to go inside the opera house at the same time. there's another company that he works for in stuttgart who, which is that they will continue working with him. so there was this question, will he, will he have work? will anyone want to work with him? apparently there are people who still do want to work with him even after this. and there is a police investigation actually on the one hand for bodily harm. and the other is insult. it's not legal. it's illegal to insult someone here in germany. so that's also a crime that they're investigating. they was obviously upset what followed was nothing short of bizarre, but what has got came down and say, well, he's made a few statements which are basically in the, sorry, not sorry category. he most recently apologized for losing his temper. but at the

same time, he really doubled down and continued to blame the journalists that he attacked by saying that she had basically done the same to him, figuratively, with her words for, for many, many years. and he's, he's obviously in a, in a space where he's not ready to fully make an apology for what he's done and how his germany is culture is seen, reacted to this very strongly for the, the theater that he was employed, at least the one in hanover has, has criticize him really in the harshest terms they said that he endangered the careers of the 30 dancers, that he works with and damaged the theaters. reputation, the frankfurt. i good mind inside doing that, which is the newspaper. the journalist works for one of the top newspapers here in journal, in germany, has basically said that this was an attack on press freedom, and that's the line that a lot of journalists have taken across germany. very strong condemnation. they've levitz, thank you so much. and before we go, here's

a quick reminder. at the top story we're falling for you today. ukraine's western allies have met to discuss further military assistance for keep us defense. secretary lloyd austin, said they will remain united and resolute for as long as it takes the chairman of the u. s. joint chiefs of staff mark maley said russia has effectively already lost the war with us. now, after a short break kick off, we'll have all the highlights from the bonus league. i'm nicole really, i'll be back at the top of the hour. thank you so much with ah,
