enjoy our services. oh, be our guest at frankfurt airport city. managed by from bought lou with ah ah, the state of what you near is leih from berlin. ukraine says its future depends on winning the battle for buck. most intense fighting has raged in the eastern city for a month with each thigh and suffering heavy losses. it opinion is divided over the strategic importance of the area, also coming after russia and bade of ukraine germany promised to radically overall

its military by spending more money. it was sold as a once in a generation change. so one year on what has become of the plans and black migrants indonesia are living in fear after the president's 3rd hostility towards them is government claims. it's all a misunderstanding, but the victims tell a different story. ah, i'm to cough really welcome to the program. ukrainian and russian forces are both suffering heavy losses as fighting intensifies the in the eastern city of buck mote were some of the most intense fighting in ukraine has taken place in the year long war. president zalinski overnight vow to quote, destroy russia. they are saying ukraine's future depends on the outcome of what

happens in bar mote and other key areas in the east. the relentless boom of artillery echoes across easton ukraine, across forests, fields and hills ukrainian forces of fighting to hold back. a broad wave of russian attacks, battles raging in many cities and villages as moscow goes on the offensive all along the 250 kilometer frontline, according to ukrainian president volota, may zalinski his country's future hinges on the outcome of these battles. those resorts on us would you, the situation in the east is very tough, very painful. we need to destroy the enemy's military power and we will be low reef gear and muddy anchor of div kit and bob, mood will. glinda and come younger and all other places were a future is being decided and the future of all ukrainians is being fought for.

great in the besieged city of buck moot, soldiers faced some of the bloodiest fighting since the war began. russia has been trying to capture buck most for months. so far. russian mercenaries have only managed to partially encircle the city. moscow is now intensifying its campaign, delivering ammunition to wagner fighters, who have been spearheading the attack on buck moot. some $4000.00 residents are still in the city, according to an official tally. despite the fist fighting in and around it, graham of a russian commanders, the capture of the city, represents an opportunity to finally deliver good news to the kremlin me with a wireless go straight to marina moran. she's with the war studies department at kings college london. marina good to see you again. why exactly does president

zelinski insist on sacrificing so much to defend? isn't that looking more like a losing battle for ukraine at this point? thank you for having me. well, it's quite a difficult decision, i believe, for president lansky to make, but if buck moved fold, it could complex collapse being tardy. the fence line of the korean forces and he had already committed so many forces to move. meaning that now declaring that didn't really have any importance would raise the question than why holding on to both moot and why risking so many lives so many soldiers. and there have been kind of discussions between generals losing and general service gain terms of whether it makes sense to hold back move. so i think from that perspective, it's also important because in the eyes of the western supporters of ukraine,

ukrainian army losing buck mood could essentially effect as a perception and possibly a military aids that ukraine is receiving right now. so the lender wants to hold on to the mood at all costs, but if i'm understanding you correctly, this decision isn't fully backed by his military leadership. well, a few weeks ago, the word discussions indeed because as for the military leadership, of course, they want to preserve the lives of their troops. and so on the one hand you have this political aim to hold, but move on on. on the other hand, it would make much more sense to withdraw the troops and to save lives and to regroup, recover, and then potentially launch a counter offensive. and we've had the same situation in her thought. one general, so awaken from the russian side, decided to withdraw the troops because he didn't see any point in risking while lives and losing more man power. and it was also widely criticized. but he still

did redeployed the troops and they are by kind of saved a lot of good troops to be used later on in the conflict and how much potential for a wider, wider problem for the lensky this do. these divisions fell well, i think there is a problem in terms of civil military relations and whatever the political goal is, it has to be aligned with current military capabilities and what ukrainian armed forces can do. and asking of them sold tasks that are always stretching their capabilities is not wise at this stage, because ukraine is also lacking ammunition. ukraine is also lacking manpower right now. so it might be a better decision to listen to the military and actually not try and sacrifice the

forces which could be used elsewhere, as i said, should they retreat and give back more to russian. the same ways that the russians did in her song to essentially come back to it at a later point when they are in a better shape at, let's talk about capabilities is the ukranian army at this point equipped to defend the problem is that in order to defend buck mode, more forces need to be deployed or meaning the capable forces from either directions need to be send to book more to reinforce it. and then again, there is a question of how much the russians will be pushing it, because the russians right now are seemingly having the upper hand. there was, are tillery, and the era support and wagner on the ground for the ukrainian forces. buttonwood is not the only problematic location. we are seeing. russian advances around the d of seeing swat to in criminal, and so on. so russians are trying to always stretch the capabilities of the

ukrainian forces along the entire line of contact. and so redeploying forces to book more could potentially bring about russian advances in the directions without giving ukraine the securities that indeed this will be enough to how to rush an offensive and to save buttonwood because it will look at the map. if practically being surrounded with walking are claiming to have taken premises on some steel plant, which is similar to as all steel and marine bull, marina moran. always great thing to you. thank you so much. thank you. a bonus they are has too little of everything that's the bottom line of a report on the german army published by it's parliamentary defense commissioner speaking in berlin. if a hugo says the bonuses situation has become even worse in the past here. and despite a massive 100000000000 euro fund announced in 2022 to upgrade germany's armed

forces there go, says none of this money is being felt yet by troops on the ground. sending tanks and other military equipment to ukraine has limited. the bonus fans own training and combat capabilities and chronic under funding had left soldiers with supp standard equipment. as our next report shows. it looks like a battle field, but it's actually a training exercise for tiger combat helicopters in eastern germany. these models have been part of nature's rapid response falls since january. but that 19 eighties technologies outdated, an urgently needs to be graded for better self defense. they don't quite slack up to the superior protective measures of potential opponents. was if a wooden ball were very vulnerable, this isn't a flying tag, even if it looks like it will be, stay a bit more in the background and take action from there. but nonetheless,

we do want to make an impact on the enemy move on to local mon flendal. ah, the main concern is that the helicopters could get damaged or break down. maintenance and repair costs are already significance. just a dozen of 51 tigers are ready for combat and there were also issues with weapons malfunctioning as i to problematic dusty bottle. the problem is that the gun cartridges such as applied or differing lengths on that was from others being an issue. in this case, it caused the cartridge to move in correctly, that by destroying the entire casing. machine good training has been cancelled for now. but it's not just faulty cartridges that have been causing problems. germany's army, the bundis, there also doesn't have enough ammunition to begin with. some regiments do have new equipment, but there's only enough for those in the ne to rapid response fall season. it's not

standard for the german army. busy wilma, with offices to the show, but thought that he thought i would actually like to see this implemented the way it's been portrayed in the media. zach that every soldier would be equipped by a certain date he does or not. the middle school started lines or the military exercises and real operations. all results is pooled. the problem is to kill moment waiting 5 years or more for equipments or uniforms is not uncommon. vince of an definitive level, i wish the procurement of equipment was foster and equipment was up to date one trailer does come of i also wish that my comrades didn't have to obtain it privately or because the official equipment wasn't sufficient aside and fondness. be sold, just say they've seen little of the money promised, but they doing all they can to keep the tiger combat helicopters in the skies. i'm

joined now by our political correspondence. i am young, simon billions of euros pledge, but apparently not much has reached the military. what's the problem here yet? well, i think 2 of the problems that have been identified are that decision making is too slow and implementation of decisions is too slow. no matter what the bundeswehr germany is, armed forces wants to do whether it's buying new weapons or organizing new training or building a new barracks. or if it's not already part of the routine. then there's a long chain of paperwork and preparation that really holds things up. and i think that's common to the military's in many countries, but it may be that german bureaucracy is especially a thorough. but what it means is that, for instance, just on infrastructure projects alone, last year, only $1000000000.00 euros was spent of the $50000000000.00 euros that were ready to

be spent or, or at least are said to be needed. so it's not just an infrastructure in weapons procurement to or which is of course, the sort of fighting end of the armed forces, you know, as of the backlog of under investment, going back many years. this problem hasn't play in germany for some time. now we'll get right back to you, simon, but 1st we want to show our years what our reporters heard when they went out on the streets of the capital to get regular people's views on state of the bonus there. here's what they said, going over here. if a gun that was the pos people germany of would like to make fun of the incompetence of the bundeswehr and know they realized that it might make sense to take care of it. after all, before we go to proven as they actually i think they do unfortunately receive too little support. i think it would be good if they were supported a little better as a if you know sofia. well i think that's too much, alex. yeah. i think that there are other causes in this country besides the bonus

there. that neat money gave with you to for the way too much money is spent on it because we want to have peace and not bundis man, that's it. thank you. i am really a person who is against war and against violence and all that, but unfortunately i think that we can do without it. that's the guns own is divided athenian fashion at opinions time young is still with us. 100000000000 euros sounds like a lot of money, but defense minister for the story, it says that won't be enough to get germany's army up to strength. how much more is it going to take? yeah, and it's not just the defense minister saying that's not enough. experts are saying that up to 300000000000 euros would be needed to get to germany's home forces in a position where they're capable of doing everything that's likely to be asked of them. and don't forget, over the last year,

demands on the buddhist. they have increased massively in terms of training that they're doing of ukrainian forces, but also of deployments for the bonus fer itself in eastern europe for delivery of some military equipment. and many other things that in addition, of course, to the other things that they already do, like peacekeeping operations in molly. so i think the trend for more demands is likely to continue. we've seen the sea change really in german thinking, rethinking the default pacifism of the past. as you saw in those comments, some germans now are open to the idea of having a more effective military ready to deploy. and germany is one of the world's leading arms producers, but it's very slow and getting equipment to its own troops. what can be done to improve the situation? well, there's various ideas. some people say the general should not have special demands

that she did set standard issue equipment. that would make things go quicker. some people say there should be some long tend to processes. instead, the military should buy it's equipment on the open market. i think the point is there's more money in the pipeline now there's more openness to change. a defense minister who wants to get things done. and i think the, the ukraine war in particular is providing the pressure to say rapid changes needed when young. thank you very much. now take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. sweden's prime minister says it is likely that his country will join nato after finland the nordic neighbors hope to join the military alliance and parallel. but objections from turkey are delaying sweets. membership bid all 30 existing members of nato have to approve a new membership applications. you know, the and the asian sheriff declined sharply on tuesday as concerns over the health

a scary movie. you see tunisians have shown support for people, president saeed, called criminals, who are infiltrating tunisian culture. and the world bank said it would suspend its partnership with the country. but the foreign minister can't comprehend these steps . he told d w, he sees tunisia as a victim of a hostile campaign. well, those reactions are over exaggerated and we shield that they are very much unfair, but we are open to any dialogue in order to find the best solution that will protect the dignity and the ice of all the migrants. many tunisians seem to support the president. the country's economy is in crisis, and many accused irregular migrants of taking jobs away from locals. another my, me against too many africans here in denisia. we should deport them,

especially in such difficult times as now. and you've had the lucky, hey, the aunt, i don't think we should deport. every one would know that we are all africans on this continent. oh, and the truth is that many tunisians don't want to do the jobs that the microns take on for a tiny celery battery every one of them. pierre says it's clear that he is no longer welcome. in tunisia, many of his friends are already making their way to europe. he's also thinking about getting on a boat. ah, if you don't, you don't have him. was the ability to switch to tint julia actual life for of leo you will, you will take the decision to, to go to the sea. i'm sorry, this is the reality. and yet pierre fears the reality on the other side of the mediterranean may not be much better assuming he makes it past coastal patrols and
