ah ah ah ah ah, this is the w news of life from berlin. ukraine says russia faces heavy losses on the eastern front lines president. so when he says the fighting is concentrated in several towns in the dumbass and new supplies of military, i can't come soon enough credit troops trying to hold back the brushing. so also

coming up top us diplomat, anthony blinking, says china, my student provide bratia with lethal military. i and his counterpart tells the meaning security conference that china has a plan of peace in de correct. also coming up, jordan, a german anti war epic tramps at the back to awards bull while on the western part when 7 categories, including best picture and sport dockman blow the taut of rice, a wide open after smothering had to bed in the buddhist legged. and now level on points with legally this by munich, and on ah, i'm anthony how'd broken to the program? the fighting bronze on the at declines eastern front presidency ski said ross in

fort ross and losses rather. are significant after battles near the town of florida on the, in the don bass region stepped up. russian assaults are expected this week with the anniversary of russia's invasion. ukraine has been calling on the west to deliver more weapons and ammunition which are running out fast. these ukranian troops near the town are severe. ask you said time away from the fighting to hone their shooting skills, they will soon put them to use the trenches. after months on the back foot, russian forces have gone on the offensive, talking at several points along a vast frontline, stretching from the black sea to but a ruse. they have made little progress, but their firepower is a problem for ukrainian defenders. they have little fun, but we have one artillery that from all our fire and the russians can do it 5 times more. so it's very difficult for the guys who are standing as special ed,

the 1st line. they feel it too much. russian artillery is targeting civilians to in the town of wallader. this elderly woman recalls the moment a show in her apartment block. don't look no. i don't got the shower entered here. is it not? and i was standing in the corner post. you spoke of the fridge fell unto me, probably one and that was dragged out from beneath it. when you were not irina, the daughter of the neighbor got me out of the fridge. somehow covered me wanting a local civilians living in areas under russian attack. no only fear the shelling in the harsh winter cold. they also lack heating and food residence in the city of coupons, rely on food parcels brought in by volunteers. we want to russia to leave us. why are they tal mounting us for what?

why are they torturing us in a after almost a year of war, residents are bracing for further hardships in the embattled towns of east and ukraine. they doubly as i, it for him is in keep forest. now i, he glance east has been the bloody stage in this war in recent weeks. is there any sign that this continuous russian push is easing in any, any way? well, antony details about what exactly is going on in the eastern front end, particularly what's going around. the embattled town of buffalo are very rare from both sides, but the town and the battle for it has become of huge symbolic importance for both sides, both russian and ukrainian sites over the past weeks with reports of both sites sustaining massive casualties. but we heard just yesterday from president zalinski, a statement that might hint that ukrainian forces might retreat. he said that they

will defend baltimore, but not at every cost, perhaps signaling at the huge human cost that the battle for this particular town has cause. i mean, pre war by what had a population about 70000, we know that that has been reduced to about 5000. and so there are now signs that we might have more definitive news about that particular battle. i have this week marks a idea since russia invited ukraine of people afraid of a major broadened russian offensive. yes, indeed. and i mean, it's just important to remember that at least here in the capital and virtually everywhere else in the country of russian attacks or, and the threat of russian attack is a part of daily life on an almost daily basis. you have the air raid sirens, signaling that the city has come under attack. and my sense is, is that people, perhaps, are expecting something to happen. but at the same time, there's

a sense of defiance and a sense that they want to carry on with their lives. despite that threat, and so there is a fear, there is an expectation that something might happen, but also at least here in the capital agreed sense of solidarity and soberness around this anniversary. the w. special correspondent i am in keith, thanks so much. now as your friend looks toward, i've a new rush in the fence. if the munich security conference has wrapped up with a call for the european union to speed up military supplies to ukraine. and us talk diplomat, antony blinking came away from the conference warning that china may soon provide weapons to russia, his chinese counterpart wang ye, insisted that by jing will present a pace plan to end the war. many in the west are skeptical o navigating a new reality. the central theme of this year's munich security conference.

nearly a year after russia invaded its neighbour, ukrainian president of a lot of me zalinski remains resolute. and there is no alternative to ukrainian victory. there is no alternative to ukraine, and in the e u, there is no alternative. you, great it, natal, has russia ramps up it's offensive in ukraine's east? european leaders made it clear that piece will have to come on keith's terms. typically, i think very important is nothing about ukraine without ukraine of ukraine fighting for its independence and serenity. it has to decide at what time they want to sit down at the negotiation table with the aggressor. but as the war drags on with no end in sight, attention also turned to the wider global implications of the conflict. western

nations may have united behind ukraine, but the wider world remains divided general. so we know that the ging is watching closely the war in nebraska because of present brutal means there. it will impact the calculations on the on positions they will make a engaging for. it's part of china announced it would forward a piece proposal for a political solution to the conflict, but many in europe remained skeptical to township, but not china has taken side very clearly. it has signed the unlimited friendship agreement with russia. so it has taken a specific position. we should keep that in mind. china is not neutral towards the whole process. as we are not mutual, we are backing of course ukraine. many fear the, china's proposals will include terms that ukraine and the west cannot accept making it even more difficult to rally global support for a ukrainian victory. but joining me for more is dw political

correspondence. matthew, mom, as you could to see with so many voices to listen to across those 3 days. broadly speaking, do we feel like by the conclusion of the minute conference with and support the grant, have weakened at it, been maintained or, or have been strengthened? i think it's fair to say the following weekend of talks, a meeting between politicians and diplomats, and intelligent officials and military leaders that western resolve has only strengthened and when it comes to ukraine and wanted me to lensky ukrainian president really set the tone on friday when he described the need for speed and you're talking about timing of the essence when it comes to 8. and from there, from then on. we just had a chorus of support for ukraine where some western leaders on were trying to kind of do each other in terms of what they were willing to send them, what they had sent in terms of 8. and we had european union leaders talk about potentially joint purchase agreements with on the issue of ammunition. we know that

ukraine is in desperate need of ammunition and western countries are trying to do run pops and production. and so, so i think we may see some movement there. but a moment they stood out to me, anthony was when all shots, the german chancellor who is really been despite all the help that germany has sent . ukraine has been criticized throughout the last year for being too slow. he was asked why he was not being put in the position of having to persuade allies to send battle tanks and we can listen to what you said. there is a question i have to to us to others, especially those who were so much urging me to act in a special way. and i will just repeat the only strategy for being united is never doing something just for your own and to discuss with your friends and partners. and this is what we did. german chancellor left shots. what's he getting at there in germany has basically said it will try to lead a consortium to send leopard to battle tanks around battalions was $31.00. it's

offered to send 14 and it's asked allies to scramble to get together and provide their own tanks and know this by all the criticism he was under in january. they are slow to provide that support. and that was a really real glimpse into the kind of frustration of the german government in recent days. and it's why journalists and diplomats find this conference so fascinating because you get up behind the scenes kind of a glimpse of what really happening at the munich security conference. another point of fascination whistle bang each on is foreign minister. was that the conference and met with these us counterpart antony blink. and after these past 3 weeks had that meeting. and by all accounts, that was a re fraud meeting. as you say, it was like the fast in the spy balloon saga really took off. and you know, they had a chance to, to either tensions in their grievances if you like. but i'm not sure really the found any common ground antony. we basically the usaid,

it was really concerned that china was potentially considering supplying deadly weapons to russia to use this war against ukraine. and then antony blank and apparently told wang either if he did so there would be great consequences for the russia china relationship. we then had, after the meeting, the chinese foreign ministry set dismiss that and say that it will not have it relationship with more school dick teacher to buy the u. s. but to really strong language. and if that wasn't bad enough, when he is heading to moscow today, but she's not going to come nav and europe in washington as we kind of head into the anniversary of this war. fascinating, couple of days database met more. thanks so much. ok. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. this are brazilian or 30 say at least 36 people have been killed in heavy flooding and landslides in the state of south palo. the torrential rain hit on carnival weekend, whole neighborhoods around the water and rescued seems i struggling to find

survivors. u. s. secretary of state antony blinking has announced a further $100000000.00 in aid after the devastating earthquake in turkey and syria . after talks with his turkish counterpart of a soul, you think it is expected to make president richard type one in the capital ankara on monday. north korea has testified 2 more ballistic missiles. shortly after the u . s. in japan and south korea held, joined air force drills. drills themselves came after an earlier north korean missile test. young is u. s. conduct would determine if the pacific is turned into a firing range. a visitor to an outfit in miami, knocked over one of us. jeff koons famous dog balloon sculptures which smashed on to the floor in pieces out what was valued at $42000.00. the glass shards were swept up by stuff but may still be worth thousands to collectors

ammo. divers, pro western president has outlined what she described as a plot by moscow to take over the country. both of his foreign minister is expected in brussels to day for urgent consultations with the european union. russia has denied the claims the tiny eastern european country. she's a long border with ukraine and has a breakaway region, trans mystery that is controlled by russian back to separatists on sunday, thousands of anti government demonstrate as took to the straits of she saw no and mold of his government, said the protest will orchestrated by pro russian forces which are and now live by d. w, correspond rosie butchered in brussels, where the mold oven at foreign minister will be attending a summit of his e. you'd counterparts, rosie? why is maldives important for the you in this context?

anthony ministers are getting ready to start trickling in. 2 talks here in brussels, and indeed moldova foreign minister will be joining european union counterparts. and really this is all about this country's geography and it's history and it's politics. first of all, it's geography. this is the country which shares a border with ukraine, and that means has taken in a lot of ukrainian refugees with this phil scale invasion began a year ago. but beyond this, this is also one of the poorest countries in europe and a made this cost of living crisis which is being experienced in so many parts of the world. there's been plenty of political instability within moldova, domestically. and then beyond that politically, also, moldova is constitutionally neutral. that means that it is not and cannot be part of a military alliance like nato, and all those things converge to mean that european union countries see moldova as a place which could be vulnerable if russia were to set it sites beyond ukraine. to book an a you do what, what can your countries do to help stabilize the situation in the country?

well models as president has said that she thinks her country is be, is bearing witness to a hybrid war being waged by russia against 8. no, that is something which moscow denies, but moldova will be coming to this european union of foreign ministers meeting with a sort of a wishlist snow. the european union has already provided moldova, with humanitarian assistance, to support with the reception of refugees. it's also provided or is in the course of providing about a 150000000000000000 euros worth of a macro financial assistance that essentially loans and grants to help with liquidity needs for the economy. and there is something more which moldova, with like, of a top of its wishlist really. and that is like ukraine to become part of this european union to not only be a guest at a meeting like they spent to have a permanent seat at the table. moldova is officially a candidate, countries like ukraine for european union membership,

but joining the book can take years, or sometimes even more than a decade. so that's something that will likely not get any movement on to day. however, european union countries are considering more concrete support and some of that includes for example, a civilian mission within moldova, led by the you to try and improve what they call cyber resilience. within that, within the context of model for as president think she is bearing witness to hybrid war, but waste by russia. something, as i said, moscow strongly denies. you know, russia remains a k topic at the summit with a 10th package of sanctions being discussed is support within the you still unanimous on this issue? well, russia has been top of the agenda at all of these meetings for the past year. of course, as the european union strives to keep offering support for ukraine and currently own minister's agenda is a 10th package of sanctions against moscow. know this is seen by diplomats, i've spoken to as really the biggest package of sanctions against russia since last

year. last summer, when we saw the european union imposed a partial oil embargo own moscow know the european union has already a site to the ports of, as i mentioned, russian oil also a ports of russian coal. know, we think this latest package, what i'm hearing, and of course this is being discussed behind closed doors, is that it should be around 10000000000 euros worth of export bonds. so benz on export to russia of key equipment that could be used for military purposes and beyond that, they're also likely to sanction what they call russian propagandists know that this will be top of the agenda today. not yet over the line yet i'm hearing, but there is pressure to get it finished by the 24th february. the key that key date, the fateful day one year ago when the of the full scale invasion, rosie birch, in brussels. thank you. at a big win a at this is british academy film awards was a, a german anti war movie o. quiet on the western front. with 14 nominations, the movie $170.00 trophies,

also one of the most nominated movies for the academy awards. a tennis legend boris becker is at the berlin film festival for the premier of the documentary on his turbulent life. the berlin al his 4th day, also saw competition entries from 2 very different filmmakers. i've, i've had my my, my bottom have been on what to make of doom doom the world versus boris becker chance the career of one of the world's greatest tennis players from teenage think we're start him to his recent jail sentence for fraud friday. i know the rest of my la premiering, the documentary out of competition. becker said he hoped it's revelations would help people see him in a fresh light with often who will have people don't want to accept that. the youngest wimbledon champion of all time has grown up and is now $55.00. i hope this

will give people a new way of seeing boris becker as a person, noisy fighter of the mentioned ball was pico, vying for the bears are 2 female directors with very different trajectories. margarita on tata is one of germany's most successful filmmakers since the 19 seventy's. she's home to dozens of award winning projects. her films often shine a spotlight on women's relationships. jenny miller, her latest is ingeborg bachman journey into the desert. the film profiles the stormy love affair between the late austrian poet and the swiss playwright marked flesh. while he seeks to tame and possessor, brockman yearns for artistic and sexual freedom promises it was a story fond tata, couldn't turn down. it would have devised unreason as the season and fern davis. and as you can see in the film, it was impossible to resist such a fantastic woman eaten and poet as is done of notified here. when i found these

till to play the rose, i knew it was a film i wanted to make it us thus is unfinished. martin wished it past life is a debbie feature of saline sun. the film spans 24 years in the life of the korean canadian. he's torn between her american husband and her childhood sweetheart from back home, inspired by songs, personal biography. it's the 1st time the korean canadian play right has ventured into screen writing. so what challenges did that present? that is still about characters and story at the end of the day, which i know a lot through theater. but to me, the main thing obviously that's different as the visual storytelling past lives was a hit at january, some dance festival and is already being counted as one of the best films of the year. the latest contenders for the bears, a deeply personal 1st feature from a playwright, turned screenwriter director and a portrait of an iconic poet from one of germany's most accomplished female

filmmakers. where the either will receive a note from the jury will be decided next saturday. ah, in bones like a foot board, dockman kept their title ambitions alive with the home when i've had to berlin. dorman, near the 2 girls before half time on their way to an impressive for one victory. ah dort men haven't lost a match yet in 2023 fresh off a champions league victory over chelsea mid week. the men in black had the chance to put pressure on the table leaders with a victory over relegation. threatened hector, there was low visibility at the started signal, the dual park pyrotechnics at their best. but somehow the smoke might have helped the whole side hit 1st through korean ardini government, captain morgan royce fire towards the goal, but it looked

a bit wide at amy's heel did the rest don't men doubled their lead shortly before the break with doug, when danielle milan doing the damage head is off, it's woke up after the break. dorman were caught napping in luca to sar. rifled one off the cross bar into the neck to bring the visitors within one goal. but after captain markle royce won a free kick, he converted the set these himself to give me a 2 gold cushion. once again, julian brought added another late go to close out this impressive performance by doing me for one final score. do it mean are now level one points with table leaders? byron unit may more

noon. berlin could have taken the 1st place after a draw at home against bottom sides. chalka. when i remained frustratingly out of reach for the east berliners, on the on just couldn't hit the target against the shock beside that is now said a bundle like a record with 4 consecutive nil nil drawers on yard had won 5 straight in the lake before this encounter next weekend, i faced brian in a battle for tom on so let's check the punters leg standing and things couldn't be taught at the top. with bryan dawe t meant and only on a level on points fryeburg still occupy the 4th champions league placed for now in the bottom half stood gut move out of the relegation. sound which is now made up of bottom hatter and chalka that before we got a reminder of the top story we're following for you is our event president says
