crisis and begins transitioning during a summer holiday. and her family don't really know what to make of it. and it causes some friction. now, the director said she got such natural performances from her young cars by doing a lot of improvisation before they started shooting. and they did lots of family scenes that were not actually in the script to get the young cast used to acting with those adults and to get them to bond with each other. now the best supporting a performer has gone to her or an actress in a german field by kristof ha, ha, he's led to fill me school till the end of the night. and the performer is the tier error. now she plays a trans women who is released early from prison in exchange for helping go under cover to her there on a drugs sting operation. and the detective she's working with is also her former lover. and kristen stewart actually said that the jury had their hair blown away by her performance. okay, a leader and one of the german films one big today as well. that's

a myriad of problems and everything seems these are connected from the economy to security to unemployment. you know, so nigerians are really in a desperate situation. and this is why we have seen this huge turn out. of course, this is just one pauline units. we have to wait on the data that comes out to actually tell us the level of data. and also there has been a lot of galvanized me a lot of you know, political involvement and leading up to the elections. 6 and yet we hope to see that reflect somehow in the fall loss. okay, flourish. mohammed baris, on the way out, who are the main contingency buying to replace him? well, the 3 major contained and so we have 3 parties, 3 main parts is actually the 17 parties on the bylaws, we have 3 main parts. is the apc the ruling, apc, which is the price increase proxy on behalf of be well on may casino group. we have

german government to push the peace talks between russia and ukraine. the rally was organized by a controversial movement led by left wing politician and this and activist lee sponsor. they want germany to stop supplying weapons to ukraine and have faced severe criticism from political leaders. protest is in the philippines have been marking the anniversary of the 9906 people power uprising that house did president ferdinand marco's. he imposed martial law, imprisoning and torturing thousands of his opponents. it's the 1st commemoration of the uprising since his son, ferdinand macos junior, became president. the new leader has called for reconciliation and unity. health salvador has begun moving, suspected gang members to a massive new facility built to accommodate more than 40000 prisoners. it's the latest step in the government crackdown on crime which allows arrests without warrants human rights group say, innocent people have been caught up in this policy. or german chancellor,

olaf shaw says he wants to deepen economic and political ties with india. he made the remarks that a press conference with indian prime minister and a render mowdy in delhi shops is to day trip to india, highlights a growing effort by western powers to isolate russia for its invasion of you cried . following his meeting with the indian prime minister, all laugh schultz told reporters, the war in ukraine is hurting, developing countries, including through global food and fuel shortages of justice, also cut us off. it is a big catastrophe. above all, it is a big catastrophe because we know that this war breaks with the principle that we all have agreed on and been following for so long that borders cannot be changed and, and moved by foresight. and that the rule of law regulates international relations . and that revisionism is not allowed to be the basis of international trade. argon

does hundreds from stopped and off. right. mister schultz went on to reiterate his commitment to sealing a free trade deal between india and the european union for the e. u. the agreement with strengthen its strategic partnership with the indo pacific region. it could also serve the tactical goal of further isolating moscow over its invasion of ukraine by weaning india away from its dependence on russian arms and energy sources. the 2 leaders are meeting one day after the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine, while the prime minister agreed on the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict he did not deviate from his country's approach of avoiding any overt criticism of russia. he bought a dialogue letter from the time developments in ukraine started. india has emphasized the dispute should be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy your with on many believe that india is ready to contribute in any piece process right.

during the official visit, sholtes is 1st since taking office in 2021. members of a high level delegation accompanying the chancellor find wind, solar energy, and green hydrogen sector agreements. germany is also reportedly pursuing a deal to build summaries with india hush. punt is a professor of international relations in daily. earlier i asked him to explain the line that india's trading between its ties to the west and its military and oil dependence on russia. i think india's historically dependence on russia for defense is quite extraordinary. and because during the war, the west was not willing to supply india with critical defense technologies. and so india's reliance and then soviet union increased. and as a result of which even today, india finds almost 55 percent of its defense supplies coming from russia. so with that kind of independence at the time that engage the light border with china is

a major predicament for indian policy makers. and therefore, they are very reluctant to publicly condemned russia, but indian prime minister has last year, publicly said to vladimir putin that doing this is not the time for war. and the statement has been reflected in various countries in various ways. and in some ways, india is trying to distance itself from the larger digression that russia has leaked on your brain. but it is a very, very difficult act to follow on oil and gas. it has been a different a relationship because energy dies have really bonded the last one year, where india, indian political economy has demanded that given the discounts that russia has been offering to india. india found it very lucrative, and therefore india has gone head and bought some oil from russia, but it's largely the dependencies more related to defense. i want to speak to a bit more about china and india's reluctance to distance itself from russia. i'm just wondering if this could become a problem in the long run if say

a week and russia is driven closer towards china, which is of course, a big competitor to india. absolutely, i think this is one of the biggest challenges that many indian policymakers are very much aware of because a week and russia will be a satellite country to china. and china and russia axis in recent years has become stronger in particular, the vistas isolated russia post ukraine crisis. we have seen china and russia coming to get as substantively and that means for india which, which faces china as the most important strategic challenge going forward. this relationship becomes very, very difficult, not, not to track. and therefore, india is trying to maintain some channels of communication with russia. it is trying to keep those channels open because it would not want russia and china to list together, which becomes of a formidable, a challenge for india going forward,

given the defend dependence on russia. and given the strategic challenge that india faces from china, that was hot pan to professor of international relations in daily speaking to me a little bit earlier. well, with that, that's all for now. coming up next on the w is out. take. so shift, we're going to take a look at how countries and companies can best tackle cyber attacks. that software will break cost with more d, w dot com and on social media at dw news, i'm jared ray. thank you so much for watching. have a great day ah a i was just rescuing data from a farm this one the sliding door with. i found it like this and i couldn't just leave it there on them. i should meet. 2 with.
