wow, inspiring story about survival home and go against the cellist. i was the only one . what long music in nazi germany watch now on youtube, d. w. dr. ah ah ah . this is dw news live from berlin. the u. s. release is video of the black sea drone incident. the pentagon says this footage shows a russian fighter jet, come very close to the unmanned drone that later crashed on tuesday. the kremlin is denying involvement will speak to a military analyst in just a moment. also coming up global markets, our jumpy is banking term,
1:01 pm
will spreads asian stock slide while europe's react positively off to swiss regulators and in liquidity, lifeline to lead, credit suisse investors the still spoofs off to the clocks of 2 banks in the u. s. and is ready activists pay what they're calling a line of freedom in jerusalem as protests resume against the government. controversial judicial reforms. meanwhile, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has arrived in berlin on an official visit. ah, i manuscripts, mccann, and thanks so much for joining us. we're starting with breaking news and the u. s. defense department has released footage that it says shows a russian aircraft intercepting a u. s. spy drone over the black sea that happened on tuesday. now,
1:02 pm
according to you esl socrates, this video shows a russian se 27 fighter jet, approaching the drone and dumping fuel over it as the aircraft passes closely by without appearing to cause any damage to the u. s. drone. but washington says the jet collided with the drones propeller on a 2nd pass that's also shown, although the actual collision isn't visible in the edited video that's been released now, damage to the propeller can be seen later on the more you can speak to military analysts, marina miran his with the war studies department at kings college london. she's joining us now from munich. welcome marina. can we talk about what this for? sage, obviously, an edited version actually shows how would you describe the behavior of the russian fighter jet? thank you for having me. well, if look at the footage, we see that see russian flying cur passes the throne very closely from
1:03 pm
above. so it's speeding up to the drone and, and passes it. so the, the, it, the behavior is obviously indicating that they are trying to intercepted prone, perhaps to clip it. or at the very least, the kinetic power of the fighter jet would create a war attack. so probably when the 1st plane flew over and didn't create a desire, the fact, the 2nd one repeated the whole scenario. and what happened was that the, the drone ended up with a damaged propeller. now was this damage really serious enough to force the drone down into the sea? well, that's a good question because apparently it wasn't just the propeller. the drone became uncontrollable if it was caught in a war attacks. then yes, it would be very difficult to control the drone regardless of the propeller. and
1:04 pm
there is also another possibility of russia using electronic warfare systems in order to jam the controls of the drones. so that can be several reasons for why the drone wasn't. it wasn't operable anymore and had to be brought down. okay, now given that we've got this evidence now, what might the likely consequences be? oh, the problem is that we have seen something like this already in 20191. the iranian era defenses shut down the u. s. global hawk. that is much more serious because in this incident of the russians actually didn't use any weapons. and i think that that was by design, they had to somehow brings a drone down without actually using any kinetic force. meaning that it couldn't be considered as an act of war. and if remembering 2019 and
1:05 pm
president trump had several options on how to respond and there was no a severe response. the relationship between the u. s. and the run was not very good at the time and it remains that way. however, no consequences have followed apart from kind of a diplomatic channels functioning. and you know, more than that, you know, now we have the ration and we'll be saying that they didn't do anything. and it's very difficult to prove the intention was the russians stayed behind it, or words use reckless pilots of decided to act on, on their role. and so the response options to this are very limited, pretty much through the diplomatic sphere. ok, now russia is saying that it will raise the us drone from the c bed. if required
1:06 pm
for security reasons. are they likely to do that? and why would they do that? ofa, russia, it is obviously very interesting to recover that drone because se would be able to reverse engineer it's a we'll see what intelligence gathering equipment drone had. this is perhaps the reason why they wanted to make sure that the drone goes down in one piece and as damaged as possible. and the security implications of that. even if the pentagon erases all the footage, whatever intelligence has been gathered by that road and the russians still can reverse engineers sensors, they can potentially share those technologies with a lack of iran and china. so there is a potential security implication to this whole debacle was a drone. alright, we'll have to leave that there, but thanks so much for that. marin miran from kings college london. thanks for your
1:07 pm
time. thank you. and the cranium president vladimir lensky says that he believes russia's war is approaching a decisive moment. and his nightly video address lensky said that moscow was on the verge of failure in ukraine. thanks to west and weapons deliveries. and it is those deliveries, including german made left the tanks, but many are pending their hopes on in the east, particularly in the moot. the city has been a key battleground in the war so far. and it's in the region where keith is sick, has signal that it is gearing up to launch a counter offensive against russia. so the question is now, can ukraine break the stalemate? the russian artillery fires on past mode. after months of attempts to take the city . ukraine has forced his enemy to commit major resources and take tens of thousands of casualties. the ukrainian military says it's buying time for
1:08 pm
a spring counter offensive. part of the preparations for that counter offensive are happening far from the front lines in spain. ukrainian troops are finishing their training on advanced western tanks. they hope the leopards will be a game changer on the battlefield until now ukraine has been using older russian model tags. ukrainian troops are getting training from nato forces elsewhere to like here in the u. k. learning the art of combined arms warfare. how to coordinate all the high tech weaponry with infantry assaults on the front. a tank commander has high expectations. know the concept and tactics of tank usage in battle will significantly change because western tanks have a higher firing range and other capabilities like a digital information field. if this equipment is used properly, one can destroy the enemy before the enemy approaches its firing range to her
1:09 pm
bullet. analysts say ukraine will likely amount a major attack in shop. a reason province aiming at the russian held city of moleed upon a successful push would cut through russia supply lines to its forces, further west. their factors, like whether they can only be guessed that not controlled spring mud can slow or stop tank advances, bogging down the russians and ukrainians alike. that means the timing and the target of any counter offensive, or still a mystery, which is just the way ukrainian commanders wanting on you investigation is shedding, lies on what happened one year ago today in ukraine, when a russian air strike destroyed the drama theatre in the ukrainian city of mario pal, hundreds of people were killed, including children. the theatre had served as the city's main bomb shelter during russia's relentless assault on mario pool. last spring, satellite imagery from before the asteroid shows the russian word for children
1:10 pm
written around the building. now it's unknown exactly how many people died, but many people were pinned under the rubble and the city fell to russian forces. soon afterwards, it is thought to be the deadliest single attack against civilians in the war. so far. now investigators a using innovative techniques to create a picture of what of what life was like inside the theater before the bombing i spoke to maxine rook, monica earlier, he's the director of the center for spatial technologies as the organization that carried out the multiple investigation and i asked him to tell us more about his organization and it's partner forensics. we are cross disciplinary research practice basically, and most of our work has to do with special reconstruction using different techniques of data analysis and things like that. and we have been always
1:11 pm
interested in the work of forensic architecture which is in london based group studies, human rights violations using techniques of architectural modeling as well. so forensic is their sister company based in, in germany, and together with them except to, to work on mario case. okay, and let's talk about the investigation itself. what did you set out to do and how have you managed to do it? yeah, from the 1st days we understood that this will be one of the major cases to look at . and the 1st, the 1st thing we did is architects was going to archives and searching for architecture models. the nature of our investigation is such that we connect every single type of media that we can find, including photographs, videos from, from witnesses, but also their testimonies around the model. so we interviewed over 20
1:12 pm
witnesses in this kind of a technique called situated testimony where witness to sit in front of the model and basically respond to what they see in front of them. and even model and detail kind of detailed that the model that we have shown. so that is the nature of the work. and this architectural model then works as both a narrative device and a piece of evidence for, for this case. and your conclusion so far, i mean what, what have you come up with? yeah, so, so right now we're at the middle of this investigation. we publish something today which has to do with everything that happened before the explosion. so we have a very detailed understanding of what was happening in the theater before the blast . we understand the population of a theater at its peak was roughly 2000 people. and at the moment of the strike,
1:13 pm
there was up to 1000 people in the building. so you would have to see our investigation and you'd have to also see in detail where they were. this is something that we're trying to understand. where were people located at what they were doing? and then in the 2nd phase of this investigation, we will model the blast. and basically, by comparing these 2 images, one which looks and describes how people war located in the building and what they were doing. and another one which is the impact of the blast, most dangerous areas will be able to understand this. is that in the, as the build of a way as possible. absolutely fascinating and such important. what might seem right, many kind of the center of spatial technologies. thanks so much for speaking to us today has taken out some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the german chancellor will have shot it's was defended, the billions of euros that germany has sent to ukraine and said it was important
1:14 pm
that keith gets the ammunition it needs quickly. speaking to german parliamentarians, he also praised germany for ending its dependence on russian oil and gas on c, $12.00 and a half tons of uranium have gone missing from an undisclosed location in libya. that's according to the u. n's nuclear watched of the international atomic energy agency says it's looking for the nuclear material, but inspectors fear the uranium may pose a radiological risk. tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in greece to express their anger over last month train disaster that left $57.00 people dead unions of also called for a 24 hour general strike, leaving ferries in port flights. a grounded and trains canceled a european markets are appearing to rebound off to switzerland's embattled bank. credit suisse secured
1:15 pm
a big financial life lifeline concerns over the troubled lender had earlier sent asian stock. market's falling. credit suisse has said that it will borrow up to 50000000000 euros from switzerland's central bank in a bid to show up it's liquidity. that means how much cash it has on hand to finance its business. the sudden collapses of to us banks last week have sparked growing fears worldwide. jitters on the market sent many asian stocks into the red again on thursday. investors are wearily eyeing the problems that have hit several banks in the us and europe, wondering if they're just the 1st signs of a deeper crisis. the latest alarm bells have been standing around credit suisse, one of europe's largest banks, pro macroeconomic perspective, credit leases, major global player, major player in the us, smaller than it used to be, but still very important. shares of the swiss bank plunged to
1:16 pm
a record low on wednesday, after its biggest shareholder said it would not provide more funding to the company . the dive prompted the swiss central bank to step into the port credit suisse, making it the 1st major global bank to receive such a lifeline since the 2008 financial crisis. credit suisse has a lot of links to the financial sectors of other countries. since it has operations in the us, in other parts of europe and more widely around the world, and it will have a lot of creditors and, and subsidiaries elsewhere who potentially could get into difficulties if the, if credits within, in switzerland what to have trouble. analysts say, balance sheets across the entire banking sector, now facing greater scrutiny after the failures of silicon valley bank and signature
1:17 pm
bank in the us. they're searching for weakness across all, you know, banks including credits, risk. so the risk is not off the table and across the horizon, people are trying to think about, well, you know, what does this really mean for the banking industry as a hall? i'm really keeping a close eye on credit suisse. that to me is really much more concerning and depending on how that works out over the next couple of days and even this weekend, i do think that is something that certainly can help very broad implications for the market. them all the global financial systems by quickly taking decisive action to show up credit suisse. this with central bank is hoping it can prevent the crisis of confidence from spreading. now the fee for president janny in santino will keep his possession as the most powerful man in world football for another 4 years. that's after he was re elected unopposed. as he says,
1:18 pm
congress in rwanda's capital kigali with no challenger stepping forward, infants he know, will remain in football's top job until at least 2027. i'm now calling on the congress to give her our near universe for support a fee for congress in rwanda. all those who told me don't know, there are so many and also hate me. i know that al fuel i love you all of course, to day, especially 8th grade, germany's football federation. the dear b was just one of a handful of countries that didn't show their love, refusing to support and fancy know, the f, b bar spend no and off, criticized in fancy no, for lack of transparency and decision making. fee for stance on human rights also came under the spotlight at last. he is guitar world cup,
1:19 pm
but for others in fancy no can do no wrong. he wants more tournaments and more football, which means more money for every $1.00 new re court revenues for the next full year cycle of $11000000000.00 u. s. dollars. and actually the new global cavities even are included in that. so i think this figure will increase still by at least a couple of billions. we will see those plans have drawn i from some who say too much football is being played. putting a strain on the players in fancy no doesn't seem to be showing the strain though. a change in the rules means he could theoretically remain in office until 2031. so harrison, more of the stories making global headlines rescue as have found the bodies of 10 miners missing after an explosion at a colombian coal mining complex, it brings the death toll to 20. 1 authorities said the bloss, the tor,
1:20 pm
through the 5 interconnected mines, was caused by a build up of methane gas officials and me and mar visiting ro hinge a camps in bangladesh as part of a pilot repatriation project. but it's only expected to involve some 1000 refugees and a return date has not yet been set. nearly 1000000 ra hinder muslim refugees live in bangladesh, most fled and military lead crackdown in 2017. the social media giant tick tock says the u. s. government is threatening to ban it's video sharing app. if it's chinese owners don't sell their shares. tech talks beijing based parent company has been facing growing pressure around the world over fears that use a data could fall into the hands of the chinese government. and the leaders of south korea and japan have agreed to a thor in ties at a historic summit. in tacos, the 1st such meeting in 12 years,
1:21 pm
they say they want to resolve that ongoing trade dispute. and the countries also want to present a united front over their shared concerns about north korea. now the meeting comes as sole and washington are conducting joint military drills that the largest in 5 years. and they're designed to be a deterrent to pyongyang, north korea for a long range ballistic missile into the sea. as joint drills began between south korean and u. s. troops, the allies say the exercises are necessary to deter north korea, which has launched a record number of missiles over the past year. and majority the train that we've conducted today is always to ensure that we're ready i to night. as we know, we have a very important operational mission here, strengthening the alliance between united states government as well as the south korean government to ensure that our strength in our capability is able to secure
1:22 pm
the korean peninsula. south korea's president young sa noon arrived for the summit and tokyo on thursday to discuss ways to counter the nuclear arb north. he also made it clear that resetting ties with japan is a top priority. but there are challenges involving reparations dating back to world war 2. korea was then a japanese colony, and many koreans suffer due to forced labor. the dispute between the countries that followed the war has been ongoing for decades. fresh protested, erupted in sol, along with the demand to boycott japanese products. this week. leaders will take the 1st step to reconcile differences. i think there's no time to waste. i think that i from a regional strategic point of view, from an indo pacific balancing point of view, there's no time to waste in maximizing the benefits of closer japan, south korea corporation. so, so in that from that perspective,
1:23 pm
i think it's important i to, to see the initiatives on both side while a reconciliation will take time, the leaders are seeking to overcome the differences and present a united front protests have resumed in israel against the governments. controversial reforms that critics say it would weaken the country's democracy. the proposals would give the government influence over selecting judges and dilute the powers of the supreme court. activists have painted what they're describing as a line of freedom through the straits of jerusalem to show that opposition to the proposals. thursday's protests follow weeks of mass demonstrations and wide spread opposition from across is ray the society to the reforms. prime minister benjamin netanyahu, whose in berlin for a working visit, is insisting the changes are needed to restore the balance of power.
1:24 pm
earlier our correspondence in televi for becker it, as gave us this update. the protests have been going on as many people already know for 2 and a half months or so. now they began in early january were here in central tel aviv . you've got the you can of course of the buildings of famous television skyscrapers behind those. you've got people walking across the bridge. there are really tens of thousands of people who collect it today. it's hard to get a sense of the numbers when you're inside the crowd. we don't have official figures yet, but the protest in rate of weight have been reaching in a 100000 and today looks no different. they're largely paid school. it's quite a festival atmosphere. i have to say here, but we have seen in previous week some violence today. there had been a few, there had been a few scuffle, but nothing. nothing past that major. i would say in terms of security so far that we are expecting it to continue for some hours and this is being done
1:25 pm
a day of disruption. so these things are happening all across the country. that usually the biggest one is of course in a bigger city here in television. but things are happening in high in jerusalem as you were just talking. we had some arrests there this morning, a 150 locations across the country. i expected to be seeing scenes, something like this case and months of protests. and obviously we can see that quite significant. now israel's president, a compromise proposal yesterday, but the government completely rejected it. so has this essentially destroyed the likelihood of any, any to this car turmoil i wish i knew the answer to that question on. yeah, obviously we know that president hotdog had been working on a compromised bill for some time. now. he now announced that last night and that address to the nation, and that was really pushed out of the way by benjamin ninette at yahoo bought a prime minister with in really a matter of minutes. so definitely the coalition government not having
1:26 pm
a bar of those compromises. i was saying from the opposition side, so i'm willing is to want to compromise and some members of benjamin netanyahu, her party, the liquid body, also looking for compromise or looking for a way out of this situation for president her talk saying that the country is on its way to civil war. now, whether or not that really comes to fruition of growth remains the same quite extreme, but definitely the intentions are high people here that i've been speaking to rhonda saying that they are not going. it's not that they're gonna keep coming out, they have no job, they're democracies being ripped apart. as they say, they're heading towards what they're calling dictatorship are really people, it's her life or death situation. but so many people here for her versus reporting from television. thanks. so much now the ready prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been meeting with german chancellor, will have shots on a working visit to berlin. the 2 leaders paid their respects as a memorial to victims of the holocaust earlier. and they will be addressing the
1:27 pm
media shortly. netanyahu cut short his visit to the german capital because of the continuing protest over sweeping judicial reform in israel tools and german extermination camps in the going now by our chief political correspondent, nina hossa, who is following netanyahu's visit to berlin for us at nina. tell us a little bit more about netanyahu's agenda today. how's he going to be spending his day in bell and well on ya knit ano and the gym. chancellor will have shows just had their lunch meeting and where awaiting the press conference. that's to be expected in a minute's time, i would say, and i also have to warn you that i might just have to cut off here because we're not allowed to be live while the presser is on. so if i disappear suddenly, that's because the pro, so why aren't it? and of course everybody is looking very, very, very,
1:28 pm
very carefully at what all our shows will say to benjamin netanyahu. because of course, those controversial and controversial de additional reforms are also causing a big debate here in germany. now, because of germany's past, everybody knows because and nazis murdered 6000000 jews during the 2nd world war germany. the modern german state has a special responsibility and sees that em special responsibility to what's the current state of israel. but at the same time, many people here are debating what we're left shows will say to been in this ano, on the stage here. because of course, there are extremely big concerns here as well that israel might actually violate some of the democratic principles and violate rule of law with this reform that is going on. so we'll left shorts basically hasn't. he doesn't have the option of not commenting on air, those reforms, he will have to avoid some criticism, but how far he can go?
1:29 pm
well, that's a very, very difficult tightrope walk for the german chancellor. of course, there is the risk that if he ever really risks or reprimanding or criticizing benjamin netanyahu too much on the open stage, then benjamin netanyahu might retaliate. and remind all i've heard of a very unpleasant scene here at the same chancery. here in berlin, where the palestinian chief mahmoud abbas relativist the holocaust and we'll have showed didn't immediately reject those comments. so that is something that all i've shown it doesn't want to see at the same time just criticizing these reform plans behind closed doors is also not an option. so we'll have told might just quote, israeli president m isaac hat. so who has put forward a compromise plan? but then we all know that benjamin netanyahu and his government have already rejected that a compromise plan and add this would be something that will of shots could voice his criticism without embarrassing be israeli prime minister too much. okay. so if
1:30 pm
i ask you to describe the atmosphere that this visit is taking place in, is it, sir? are they trying to put forward or a joint front? how are they managing this? well, when i talk about atmosphere, of course, there are 2 different arenas. i would say one is the atmosphere between benjamin netanyahu, his government, and all of shots, and the german government. that is something where the the 2 leaders visited a memorial site today where they both commemorated victims of the holocaust. some 10000 jews were deported in the years. 41 and 42 from a platform in western berlin said the 2 leader stood there. and i have been a minute ago said that he was very moved.
