in parliament, a year after germany circles its tightened vendor. this a dramatic shift in defense and foreign policy of it was prompted by the war in you cried. our chief political correspondent, nina hossa is a at the buddhist target. has been listening in a welcome nina ups. what's your 1st impression of what we heard from the the chance lover? well, i think this is a speech that will be good for history books because essentially you heard the german chancellor defend his strategy when it came to germany's reaction after russia's full scale invasion will remember that 3 days after russia launched that large scale invasion last year, it will have showed stood here in parliament and delivered a very big speech announcing a lot of promise is essentially also re adjusting decades of german foreign policy and energy policy security policy and announcing of special budget for the german

army of a $100.00 euros. so this is something where now we'll have shows is taking stock and he summarized, and his earned measures his methods, but also try to justify why germany is still supporting ukraine. he said and started this beach by saying ukraine wants to fight this and we will support ukraine for as long as is necessary. ukraine does not want a detected piece ukraine once russia to leave and we will support them so that pretend does not win. right. and there was an applause when he talked about that those changes to a german procurement, which have been so so criticized her over the last year. people heard from said that germany makes a decision, and van takes ages to follow through. he promised us to speak better. why? yes, but he also promised to spend those 100000000000 euros fairly swiftly. he's also announced that germany is going to stick to nato's 2 percent defense goal,

and that is also not happening this year. so he is making a lot of promises and people are working behind the scenes. but to be frank, you have to just accept the fact that germany was not prepared for a situation like this. germany is having to overhaul lots of decades old principles . there are lots of very static structures still in place in lots of those ministries that are now so vital. germany thought that there was going to be peace in europe for the next couple of decades and they were wrong. so now they're having to build up structures and that is just taking time. but we heard for example, that in the defense ministry, there is now a new command that is in charge of co ordinating all those efforts for homeland security, if you will. and they are being re staffed, but these things just do take time. but of course, it is something where the opposition can justifiably say you are being very slow and the chancellor's having to defend and he is going to have to deliver very soon

that very about a talk to about the, the supporting ukraine for as long as necessary and i was thankful for the cross party support on this issue and saying that the majority of, of, of citizens at once germany to continue to support new crime. has that changed over the year, especially as, as germany has become more assertive in this field. it is a very interesting development if you look at german society and where they stand on this topic. there is massive support from the conservatives as so anglo michael's party, essentially who are no longer in power, but they are supporting the chancellors course in the, at this issue when it comes to a supply of with weapons for ukraine. and for them things could be, am opening even fast as so they are pushing the chancellor at the same time. you also have the fringes, so you have the far left and the far right. who are saying, no, we want peace negotiations. now, with russia,

they haven't changed their image of russia, they say it is something where we just need to stop this war. now we need to get back to normal and the chancellor is having to defend his cause. and also the conservatives course, if you will. and by saying this is for the ukrainians to decide, and if they say that putin is not willing to negotiate under conditions that are acceptable for us, then this is something where we will have to stand by ukraine because this is not just about ukraine. the chancellor always give this argument that we are also defending europe's piece at large. and he said in his speech today that to europe, borders cannot be shifted by violence. this is not something that is tolerable. and this is something where we have to support ukraine. so that the aggressor does not win and get away with this. thanks dr. nina, nina hasa at the bundle of germany's parliament or to the g. 20 metering in india. either india's prime minister nor andra motor has called for

unity as he welcome g 20 foreign ministers to deli, rush as he along invasion of ukraine and it's economic impacts are set to dominate the agenda. you are a secretary of state antony blanca, who said he expects most of the g 20 to continue to back in crime. and that he has no plans for bilateral meetings with his russian or chinese counterpart in a video address or opening the summit. you said the group needs to need to reset to solve current, global issues sussman of the must all economic that mo, do literalism even grows is good. the axioms of the last 2 years financial crisis, climate change, randomly battles long and vol. clearly, sol vegan low governance, had fail. allow deli, your bureau chief,

i'm rita chima. i talk me through the indian prime minister, a man in the statement. everybody exactly said that the architecture of a building governance, which was set up yet after the 2nd world war, had failed in 2 respects. one was, it was the aiming actor, benting conflict by balancing competing interests. and the 2nd was international cooperation. and in bought these cases, he said it had failed. and obviously this was, to some extent, a reflection of their situation at the moment, the geopolitical tensions and 2nd, he also said this failure had affected the developing countries the most. and that was the 2nd key point that he wants to make during this meeting. he feels that india isolate who is the g, a dent presidency as r, a d 20 presidency? is the voice of the gilbert self. what else can we expect from today's meeting? well i think this is the focusing

a lot of sessions on issues which are close to the developing world. for example, they're talking about reform, of multi multi naturalism and said what the things both he said multi lateral lateralism is in a state of crisis. and they're looking at the impact of the developing what they go to focus on food security, energy security, as well as fertilizer security. you want to look at them, how to combat terrorism, narcotics, as well as a humanitarian disaster. so want to know what a wide range of things the thing which is overshadowing this was some, it is what will be the final communicate over russia and ukraine. thank you so much about that. i'm racer. i'm with cima in new delhi. while the war in ukraine take center stage in delhi, moscow's been increasing tensions with claims that cave is using drones to attack its infrastructure, which ukraine has rejected. our president putin as even a huge, the west of using terrorist cells to attack its territory. drones over russia,

the kremlin claims ukraine has tried to use them to attack civilian infrastructure . we give you a drone, fell in a residential area here in belgrade, 30 kilometers from the ukrainian border. you have a lot of the fix your issue, but russia says the ukrainian drone also crashed hundreds of kilometers from the border in the moscow region. russian state media also report a drone being spotted over this oil storage facility and cross nador before it went up in flames. russian president vladimir putin has called on his intelligent service to stamp out threats to russian soil from ukraine. and the west is up with the in it has to do with the west attempts to provide extremist and terrorist cells on our territory. we know the never shied away from using radicals and extremists in their own interests. they'll use any means available to fight us. meanwhile, the war of attrition and eastern ukraine drags on the heavy fighting along the

front here and in southern ukraine has seen attempts by both sides to move the line sometimes by just a few meters military experts say ukraine could start a counter offensive in the south in about a month's time and couldn't see it was a chef club, my tie, then they could split the russian front in 2 and bring their artillery much closer to crimea down then they'd be in the position to cut off or knock out the logistic routes. it took crimea with high mas rockets at a range of 80 kilometers awesome. it could be, then they could bring the war to crimea without having to march in with conventional troops. him, he, 9 at garden, wanted us conventional and miss support has come from nato's chief, who once again pledged military aid to ukraine, wealthy role as a well they dollars. i agree that ukraine will become a member over our reliance a but at the same time data that is a long term perspective. what is the,

what is the issue now is to ensure that ukraine prevail as a sovereign in been in the plantation. and therefore need to support tra, ukraine. in buck, mood, ukrainian troops need all the support they can get, their physician and the strategically important eastern city is almost completely surrounded by russian mercenaries. only one road out remains open. if the time comes to retreat. the station master who was on duty when 2 trains crashed, head on in greece, claiming dozens of lives is due to appear before a prosecutor lighted. today. the 59 year old will have to explain how a passenger train of around $350.00 people on board was allowed to run on the same lines of freight tried for several kilometers before they collided. rescue team systems searching through the wreckage of the site as will continue to identify the remains of the dead grease as prime minister has a fed tragic human error was mainly to blame for the disaster which is not sparked

settle in germany, a new cow census in corsica. we begin in ukraine where locals are threatening to boycott the 2024 olympics if russian athletes participate. it's an unthinkable idea for many, since dozens of ukrainian athletes have been killed in the war. for someone who lived such a short life, vladimir, andrew shuck left so much behind a while looked after a pet cat, a career as a national de kathleen champion, and an older sister who will always remember him like this. when you call back in the lonely, he was sociable, friendly, and the best. he had a strong character that he was turban. if it weren't for these character traits, he wouldn't be in sports yet. if it weren't for these character traits, he wouldn't have gone to war. living in late january rushes worn ukraine, brought an abrupt end to the 22 year olds, life and his ambition to one day compete in the olympics. according to ukraine's

foreign minister of lat. amir is one of more than 200 athletes and coaches who have been killed in the fighting, in light of these deaths and the devastation the war has caused. ukrainian officials, including here at the ministry of sports, hath called on the international olympic committee to ben russian and bell russian athletes from competing in the paris 2024 olympics. the international olympic committee says it's considering allowing those athletes to compete, but only under neutral flags. that don't represent their countries, he showed us this video of a ukrainian shot put thrower, training under shelling, as well as these images that show the scale of destruction of ukrainians, sports facilities. there's also concern that russian athletes could use the olympics to taunt ukrainians. sir, he penis sancho, a former coach of the national bike motorcross team says after facing russians on

the battlefield. it's hard for him to imagine how they could ever meet again as sportsman. we're looking to you know, we more how can we stand next to our mergers on a pedestal? how would yuk, a russian foreign ministry spokeswoman said, attempts to squeeze moscow out of international sport were doomed to fail. the international olympic committee insists its mission is to bring the world together in peaceful competition. that mission will now not include flood amir and russia. more than a 1000000 people have fled to germany from ukraine since the war began putting german housing in short supply. but the town of gorsline is still offering many new comers a place to stay a taste

of home to day you, yellowstone panko is making ukrainian bush beetroot soup. she fled from ki if to germany and march 2022 with her 2 daughters. since then they've been living in the small city of ga sla. her husband, a policeman, stayed behind you, leah's daughters, anya and maria go to local school and kindergarten. at 1st, the family lived in a hostile room provided by the district, but moved to a private apartment just 2 months later, left, which hath what's in the world was at the beginning. it wasn't very important where we lived because the situation was so terrible that we didn't have any expectations, schooling of a school, we wanted with safety that we ended up moving here with these great conditions is very cool. wanted to use year or more with seducer group of just over 2000 ukrainian refugees like eula and her kids have come to the district of goss law since the war began. the local population is about a 130000 people. there are many older people here and many apartments have been

left empty. the local administration created a system to match refugees up with the owners of that free accommodation. the district also has several temporary arrival centers for refugees on offer, including a hotel and a hostile when it moves for cities, mr. moore, if i imagine that i had to leave for several months in a sports hall with lots of people, i don't know conflicting. so of course that kind of thing can create conflict, and of course having people living in apartments across that goes large district allows us to integrate them better in them. and then we also have a lot of volunteers and villages and cities who help these people in shayton dimensions was i to streaming, you know, like in this former casino in the city of goslin. now a center for donations around 30 volunteers have been here almost every day to help the refugees with advice and to sort through clothes, furniture and household objects all things the ukrainians desperately need when

they move into completely empty apartments. coleman, he he at, if they come here and the 1st thing they say is do you have cutlery blankets? i do have a pillow as well. it's almost unimaginable what that means to really have nothing nist's midnight's hub. the state has now officially stopped assigning ukrainians to the ga sla district, but the local administration is expecting around 700 asylum seekers from other countries to arrive in the coming months. some of the may not be as lucky as eula and her family. the local administration says the stock of empty apartments may run out soon. ah, thousands of people from burkina faso are fleeing jihadist terrorist groups to neighboring gonna. their aid workers are trying to support the refugees as best they can, but many feel abandoned by the gunny and authorities. a

mobilly lasha frugal in his family, may not have much to go round themselves, but does not limit him. your generosity, like many residence here, a fool is feeding days and so can i be to re geez, who fled across the border. this cannot go around and he had it. we had been years rog and i was on when i did it, we never knew it to come close to us here. lie past come. so ideas to do, to model in the hours and well we're on to with now, but is just a short walk from can of a 2000 so displeased booking abbey schools to gonna settle mis following a recent attack. many people here are from to see if in the group as the new arrivals, but he said and need more help from the government to continue hausten feed him and providing shelter for them were wells were trying to prevent was trying to create their condition, which are you know,

it will be more people will be attracted into the area. and also we did, we didn't also need that because these were people who came in strip to where they melted into you know, areas we got people were actually ready to take them on their you know, to let them be in your houses. look, i'll see nad more gone as disaster money agency only came to count the people one month after the arrivals. they have had no support. the communities feel left on your own with the responsibility of caring for them. this month is one of those who are forced to flee. he described a daily horror bucking beacon of a su law. no doubt if there were plenty of military helicopters flying patrols over our homes. when they came over and over again every day. but that only fly for about 5 minutes or you won't give a good number then at night the bad men came in their vehicles on it and said that she had a sluice rumor. what didn't, even if they killed a 1000 of them today,

another 1000 would appear really good and we cannot go back there to where i live. reserves held by families forcing their fees are starting to run loo. would some even sale india livestock to help the against. but he warned. windy yahoo sources will be finished. ah, our last stop is france on the island of corsica. cows are everywhere, including on the streets and the beach. nobody knows who owns the animals or how many there actually are, but that's about to change. caused the can cows have a relatively good life? often they're not even fenced in. they're free to roam wherever they like. so hardly any one can be exactly sure who owns which cow and many farmers are

perfectly fine with this laissez faire approach, the confusion of cattle allows them to report more livestock to the e. u then actually exist, says lia bastere nelly. she has set out to bring order to the chaos postiani thought the numbers of cattle in corsica have exploded on paper because the farmers get subsidies for every cow, which i shall see. so, lia and her team had trying to find the true number of cows in corsica to do that, they plant a microchip known as a bolus in the cattle. oh, i said, i can't let go. we use a tube to introduce a bolus right into the cows room and our stomach. gravity will keep the policy there for the animals entire life time. decide how you like to move along in

just a moment of discomfort. and the cow has swallowed the bolus from now on subsidies will only be granted for cows with the boldest chip. the owners of these castle in the tower valley have accepted this solution also sort of untruth. i think it's a good thing that had come to the point where it had to be done. i can adjust. i don't make things difficult, like some people going for shuffle. but other course akins are afraid of losing the generous e u. subsidies. estimated at a total of some one and a half 1000000 euros per year for fictional cows. only about half the 50000 cattle declared a thought to actually exist in the village of marin yana. the man thinks this cheating is only to be expected. he says that you would do better to subsidize sheep and goats more. la la, man,

yep. all the way certain you subsidies are allocated means that some farmers keep cattle even when they don't have the right space. the day that he failed the but he other, some farmers were failing a cattle ranching and saw inventing fictional animals on paper as a way out. it was late in all of us have taken on more than we can handle now and then. and people end up regarding all cattle ranches as fraudsters when they're not now the 1st polish chips are in place. they can be read electronically. they clearly identify each and every cow and lay a busty. nelly is optimistic. being able to identify the cattle better, makes the allocation of fat aide possible to distribute it better to those who needed mountains did was investigation or to the mash in the end, the real winners are the course akin cows. still nobody is demanding that they be fenced in like elsewhere and denied their freedom.
