9:04 pm
we had people who were going back to buildings that were still standing. and now those buildings we understand, many of them have collapsed. what do we know about casualties yet? is too early to say about any reports on injuries or casualties. as of yet, you're right. what happened was that many people who haven't been housed by tents have returned in many cases to buildings, which are quite damaged. then we are now getting reports from the local mary and talk here saying that they have been claps, building sites also being able to find a group operating the region and reports of people trapped in the rubble. so they're all now and look to see what's going on. we understand as far as syria and let her have the records of doesn't danger. but still the full extent of interest and dental it's still unfolding. and do we just, we want to really emphasize that we're talking about a region that was just destroy, devastated just 2 weeks ago. and this is

9:06 pm
a $1000000000.00 of military aid to ukraine. that includes ammunition, radars, and other equip by then traveled to your travel to ukraine by train from poland, where he is on a scheduled visit. a gesture of solidarity and a vital reminder of unity between the u. s. in ukraine against russian aggression air raid sirens blared across the ukrainian capital during u. s. president joe biden surprise visit. there were no reports of russian air strikes, but the sound is still a clear reminder that ukraine is under constant attack. making support from the us more important now than ever. i'm here sure. and we're very supportive from the national french sovereignty and, and territorial integrity. and today, i hope we have a chance to discuss our united states and our allies are keeping constant contact
9:07 pm
group on our partners can most effectively support you and your cause to present ukrainian president for lat, amir soleski voice his gratitude to the huge moment supporting the green and ah, what can i say? i really appreciate that president water america, society being from the where and where, you know, all this tragedy from the world. you know, this poor kid war on being together with god. feels full of supportive was from why now to you, graham, and thank you for your leadership. thanks by boxes or thanks, congress. i think that is historical moment for all, for all concert the 2 presidents paid tribute at the wall of remembrance to the
9:08 pm
thousands of ukrainian soldiers who have lost their lives since 2014 biden's visit comes at a crucial moment in the war. as the us needs to keep allies unified in their support for ukraine is ukraine is to send off russian offensives in the spring. yes, we heard there. the timing of you as president by visit to key is significant as d w's. i. abraham tells me she's in the ukranian capital. absolutely right. we're just a few days away from that one year mark from when a rush has warren ukraine started, and that was also something that president biden cited in his press conference today. he said, you know, i remember being on the phone with president lensky almost a year ago, a hearing the bombs are going on behind president zalinski. and he said that he would never forget that phone call. and probably he was surrounded by advisors who
9:09 pm
did not think that key of the government key would survive for a few weeks, let alone a whole year going strong. and so it was hugely symbolic that a year later, he's here standing next to president. as zalinski, understandably, the anniversary has made people him ukraine and in care of nervous that perhaps russia will be striking even harder around and on the anniversary. and so this has provided some countries comfort and assurance not only to the, to, to zalinski, but also to the people. earlier today i was out in key of the weather was a little bit better. and i spoke to some people and here's what some of them had to say about the visit. but it could be, i think it's a good sign for our country. and our entire situation to visit us at this time is a worthy gesture from a worthy president. nor more jackie, still, maybe there will be some good surprises he store for ukraine. they are the much i think he is here now because the anniversary of the full scale invasion is coming. and to me, this visit is a symbol of support. it is
9:10 pm
a symbol that america is with her. america's number one i was speaking with. kyle: it's probably a little bit about the support debt by promised to day. i mean, what kind of support are we talking about? miss important to note that the united states has been the biggest supporter militarily to ukraine since the war began. i mean, the by didn't administration since the invasion of february of last year has provided $30000000000.00 us dollars insecurity aid with what the president biden announced today is an additional $500000000.00 us dollars on top of that. and that's basically to supply more weapons and more systems that have already been approved. so we're talking about artillery ammunition, rocket launchers. and so one would, he didn't announce is the approval of any new systems or things like fighter jets which are already a huge topic here. in ukraine, and so that might be a little bit disappointing to people here because there's already the debate around
9:11 pm
whether or not you can should receive fighter jets, but still a very much welcome and appreciated visit by the u. s. president. and as you said earlier, this week, does mark the, the one year mark since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine. how are people in ukraine? how are they dealing coping with the prospect of yet another major russian offensive? i mean this word, a major restaurant offensive, especially from the is, has been sort of floating around here in ukraine for weeks and weeks. and virtually every other day we hear ukrainian official saying, well that the offensive has begun. and so i wouldn't say that people have gotten desensitized to it, but there is a sense that they have learned to live with that risk in that danger. so when that area alarm was going on earlier, as president biden was walking the street, i mean, officially, people would have to go to shelters in a situation like that. there was no panic on the street, people were just going on with their life. so i would say there's
9:12 pm
a sense of morning, a sense of resilience, but also a sense of, you know, nobody really want it to be marking this anniversary. and you know, there is still a glimmer of hope that maybe the end is in sight. and i, you to, it's, it's ironic a year ago to this very day, many were expecting a very quick more they were also expecting the ukrainian capital to fall to the russians now, fast forward a year. and you have the u. s. president as a guest of the ukranian president in kiva me and no one would have been predicting that one year ago. absolutely, absolutely. and that you could definitely see the surprise on people's faces as you walk down the street here. and just, you know, one cannot really overstate what this has done for ukraine and bringing it closer to the west. i mean, president zalinski, president zalinski is 1st meeting with president biden, was in 2021. and he practically had to beg for that meeting. and so for fast forward 2 years later, obviously his circumstances are terrible. but the united states president is here
9:13 pm
at a time where this country is under attack, or social corresponded i abraham tonight in ki, i a thank you laughter, the u. s. and the u. k. germany rings is one of the major providers of weapons to ukraine. it is also training ukranian troops. today, germany is defends administer boris. the story is met ukrainian soldiers right here in the country. he was joined by the ukrainian boxing legend vladimir clinico, as well as the ukranian ambassador. grades, armed forces are being schooled and how to drive and used german made leopard, 2 tables which are being sent to the front. lines keep says that these tanks are critical to pushing back russia. t w's political correspondent julius al daily. she was with those ukrainian soldiers today in northern germany. the training that ukrainian soldiers are going through here is more intense than usual
9:14 pm
6 days a week for 12 hours per day. but german soldiers that are training them say that they are highly motivated. germany plans to train up to 9000 ukrainian soldiers here in the country. that was julia. so billy, they're reporting the war in ukraine has revived memories of the 2nd world war here in europe. it has also drawn european nations closer together. european union, foreign ministers are meeting in brussels ahead of the 1st anniversary of the russian invasion of ukraine. they will be discussing plans on how to jointly procure ammunition to be sent to ukraine. and the european union is also preparing fresh sanctions against russia. e foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, says that he expects the you to approve the new sanctions by the end of this week. will also says that delivering ammunition to ukraine is now the top priority. yes, certainly russia is only she another offensive,
9:15 pm
and he will continue. and we have to continue our strong on waving support to ukraine on to ukraine, prevails and winds for that time is rough essence speed means lives. and we need to respond quickly. not only more support, but to provide it quick. are corresponding, rosie butcher did. she told me more about what joseph burrell said about those new probable sanctions against russia. or 1st of all, the thing to know is that the sanctions are not across the line yet. and sanctions at the european union level need to be unanimously approved. so by all 27 members, diploma i've spoken to say discussions are still tricky out. of course they now
9:16 pm
need to get their skates on to reach that self imposed deadline of the one year anniversary of that fateful day. one, almost one year ago when russia full scale invasion of ukraine took place now in terms of the content of these sections, burrell was key not to be drawn too deeply on that. but he did point to expected export ban of key technology. so that bar in european countries from exporting to russia, things like antenna, he talk about construction material. now those are things which the european union thinks russia might use to few. it's war machine. there might be some disappointment in q because ukraine would like to see russia's nuclear sector, targeted by sanctions, but based on what braille said, that looks unlikely till now. although burrell said he is going to come forward with proposals likely to on joint procurement of ammunition to gifts. ukraine. he said, quite stark terms, that it looks like the tank and you crate is getting empty and that it's no urgent to provide keith with ammunition in rows. we know that beryl has
9:17 pm
a login as plate right now. what else did it talk about in terms of the foreign policy? most one topic which is really hiding over these talks is that reports coming out of the united states that china may be considering arming, russia. nice asian, has strongly refuted to those allegations. and when i asked you except berella this, he said it would be something which would mark an important moment. he said that within the diplomatic language he could find, if china worked to pursue this however, he was keen to know that a, his, in his own talks with china's top diplomat beijing stress at that is not on the cards at that is not the plan, but still set likely a geopolitical topic. this one to watch, given the beijing says it's going to come forward with its own piece proposals for ukraine. that it right of be interesting to see what comes out of that are corresponding in brussels tonight, rosie birch, and rosie. thank you. and here's a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . thousands of people in brussels took to the streets to protest against the
9:18 pm
iranian regime. today, demonstrators gathered outside of the european parliament in the belgian capital. they're demanding that the you designate the iranian revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization. north korea has test fired to more ballistic missiles. it comes just after the us, japan and south korea held to joint air force drills. now the joe's themselves, they took place after an earlier north korean missile test. john yang says that the us and it's conduct will determine whether or not the pacific is turned into a fiery green brazilian authority say at least 36 people have been killed in heavy flooding and landslides in the state of sal paolo, the torrential rain hit on carnival, we get home neighborhoods are now under water rescue. teams are struggling to find survivors. helen mirren, you see her right behind me. here she is one of the most famous actresses in the
9:19 pm
world. and today, the british oscar winner is the star guest at the berlin international film festival, which is known as the bailey knowledge in her new phil golda, helen mirren, the place former israeli prime minister, golden. my year. the film depicts her time in power in the 19 sixties and seventies . in particular during the yom kippur or war in $973.00 and a reporter david levitz, he is at the berlin dollar. he told me more about this film. yeah, brent, you know, it was actually pretty shocking to see helen mirren on the big screen looking a lot more than golda meir than she looked like helen mirren. and that's the result of 4 hours of hair and makeup that she went through every day, including prostheses. now helen mirren told me and other journalists here earlier today before the premier that this was a person that she really admired and that it was really special, incredible experience for her to experience. golda meir from the inside israeli
9:20 pm
director guy in a thief told us he grew up in israel with golden me error as sort of a legendary figure. and that he wanted to take a look at the person behind that. and we do see her as the matriarch of a nation who's under a lot of stress, she's facing multiple, existential crises at the same time. she's most notably, of course, the yom kippur war where israel is fighting for its existence against syria and egypt. and golda meir knows that any decision that she makes could results in the deaths of hundreds or thousands. but she has to make these decisions because all of the powerful men around here have a are having meltdowns and she's the only one with an even head. now at the same time, she is battling lymphoma the, the disease, the eventually would take her life, but with a lot of pragmatism, throughout and dedication to the survival of israel. first and foremost, now there is a lot of talk about this movie also in britain where helen mirren is from whether
9:21 pm
helen mirren was the right choice to play golda meir. there are some people who say that the role should have gone to a jewish actress. again, a tif and the rest of the israeli team tried to put that to rest today. they said that if the casting was good enough for a golden me errors grandson's that it was good enough for them. the interesting point before we, when i'm time i want to ask you about another movie that is from hearing this week . i'm starting john markovich, entitled seneca. what's that about? right, well this is probably the darkest comedy that i've ever seen in my entire life. it's about the ancient roman philosopher, seneca, it's also a comment though, on god present a politics. seneca was a sort of a life coach to emperor nero the infamously cruel emperor. and he really went against his own principles to make a lot of money in that job. which comes and bites him in the you know, where when neuro gets bored of him and tells him that he has to kill himself. the
9:22 pm
movie is a, it's a tough one because we see john malkovich fantastic performer. talking about bravery in the face of death ad nauseum for most of the film even as he doesn't succeed in killing himself in multiple ways. this is not a comedy that you want to take your mom or a date. you yeah, fantastic performances, but not the one for everyone. yes. so much for the light movie, gazing assignment for you today. my fred, david levitz from the berlin olive. david, thank ah football now and to more 9 to liverpool and real madrid will meet for the 1st time in the champions league since that frightening event. those frightening events which more last year's final in paris fans were forced to wait for hours to enter the stadium. as beliefs used tear gas on the crowd. european footballs governing
