ah ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin tonight, the pentagon releasing video, it says, shows how a russian fighter jet brought down a us drone over the black seat. the video shows a russian fighter jet, come very close to an unmanned american drone that later crash the kremlin is standing by a different story. also coming up poland,
10:01 pm
promising to deliver ukraine for of its mig 29 fighter jets in the coming days. but will this move inspire other nato members to do the same? an protesters in france express their outrage at president emmanuel macros decision to force through pension reform. exxon says he's using a special constitutional power to push through and popular changes without a vote in pearl. blue i'm brick. gov is good to have you with us. the u. s. defense department has released footage that it says shows a russian aircraft intercepting a us spy drone over the black sea. according to the pentagon, this video shows a russian su $27.00 fighter jet, approaching the drug, and then dumping few all over it as the aircraft passes by in close proximity
10:02 pm
without appearing to cause any damage to the drone. with the pentagon says the jet collided with the drones propeller on a 2nd pass. that path is also shown in the video. the actual collision is not visible in this video, although damage to the propeller can be seen later after the picture is re established. so after days of a heated war of words between washington, moscow, the pentagon says it has now delivered proof. but does that change anything? i put that question to the founding director of the modern war institute at west point and co author of the book, understanding urban warfare, corporal, liam collins. no, i don't think it's changed because of the video, and it was pretty credible when begin with one of us reporting that it was struck by
10:03 pm
a russian aircraft. i don't think it's changed the volatility of the situation at all . on wednesday pentagon spokesperson ned prize soup, i'm assuming it already seen this footage. he called the incident probably unintentional. what's your take on that? i mean it, does it look like this was an accident? yeah, me, dublin, if you want to, jerome was obviously that was an intentional. the striking, the propeller that might have been unintentional, but nevertheless, russia, russian planes were attempting to get as close as possible to the aircraft. and if they had it, that was, you know, it may not have been intentional, but that ultimately the outcome. and if it wasn't intentional, just show you really how incompetent the russian russian pilots are. because they could have taken themselves down if they crash the aircraft a more forcefully in what about this drone that crashed into the black sea washington saying that it wiped all the data from the aircraft brushes as it wants to salvage the wreckage. i mean, would it gain anything,
10:04 pm
even if it did find any parts of the stroke? no, it's pretty no procedures, whether it's an aircraft, a ship or just personal communications on the ground and army units. you know, one of the things that you would is 0. so they can't get any correction if you get a hardware in there that can be any value to the ration. so even if they're able to go down for 5000 feet, how deep the black sea is to retrieve parts of this aircraft, they're, they're not gonna be able to get anything of any value out of that. you know, there's been concern or week of the situation quickly escalating and, and having an impact on the actual board, eastern ukraine. what's been your take on how washington and moscow, how they've tried to make sure that there is no escalation. first of all, i mean this is one of the reasons we have unmanned aircraft, right? so it's not putting pilots at risk and causing an unnecessary or undesirable escalation by either side, right?
10:05 pm
trying to go and escalate because you, you lost a service member. but in this case, right, the, the flip side of that is, it allows russia to be more aggressive than it might have otherwise been. it had been unmanned aircraft. i think one of the questions we have to ask ourselves is why is right even bothering going out and, you know, doing aggressive action in international airspace when they have a battle in back move that the russian air force should be supporting in the simple fact is russia air force isn't really capable of supporting the war effort, so they have nothing better to do than harass internationally or space. her liam collins is always we appreciate your time in your analysis. thank you. thank you. poland is set to become the 1st nato member to supply fighter jets to ukraine. it will deliver at least 4, fully operational soviet error, mig 20 nines in the next coming date. poland, president duda saying additional aircraft will also be supplied after a maintenance check. ukraine has repeatedly urged western countries its allies to
10:06 pm
sin warplane saying it needs them to fight back against russia's invasion effectively. after poles announcement, danish prime minister met a frederickson, hinted that other nato allies may soon follow suit. yeah, through hauling find a jets have long been on the ukrainians. wishlist, and it is something we're discussing in the group of allied nations. and yes, it is something we're discussing with our allies also. and it is something that the group of allies is considering of it. my gosh, i will not get into any further details, but it is a big wish from ukraine claims i was pulling moving forward. all lines are now on other made a members such as the u. s. and germany will they follow suit? i put that question to our need. a reporter correspondent in brussels. terry schultz or washington along with germany maintains the line that absolutely not. and you, you heard denmark there say it's being discussed, but we haven't heard any other countries really charged to the front like poland
10:07 pm
has. slovakia may be the closest to agreeing to send some of its megs. now you remember brent that we were sort of at this stage before months ago with poland being very willing to send its fleet of megs, in fact, the whole fleet at that time to ukraine. but it wanted to send them through ramstein air base and thereby make it sort of a u. s. transfer. and then it fell apart. so this isn't entirely unexpected that it comes back to poland sending mig, but we didn't, we certainly didn't know to expect it. this week or today, i mean, what did you make there? teary of if hearing denmark say that you're more shipments could be on the way. i mean, it's not the 1st country. i think that people would expect to hear making an announcement concerning fighter jets. well it's, she didn't make an announcement concerning fighter jets. she said it's being discussed and being discussed in a group of countries that may have fighter jets is a long way from sending them. i mean, we've already seen the u. k. training pilots. the u. s. is that it would train
10:08 pm
pilots and, and so getting some people ready to possibly fly planes at some point is a long way from saying we're going to give you those planes. and, you know, many nato allies feel that this is not the right move. germany included, you know, we've talked many times about cindy, what is to ukraine when we were talking about battle takes, for example, there was also this resistance to that. now now those tanks are, you know, there they are in the country. that's a done deal. are we going to see the same development when it comes to fighter jets or ukraine? certainly hope so, and that's why it keeps asking for things that's been told. it's not going to get to because if it had stopped asking when it was initially told no tanks, you wouldn't see tanks on their way to ukraine right now. so i think that now with poland breaking this sort of blockade, which is you know, to some extent and emotional a psychological block on sending this kind of weapons. you may well see other countries, like i said, slovakia has been talking about it and finish prime minister son martin. not even
10:09 pm
yet. of course, the leader of a country inside the nato alliance got in a bit of hot water last week when she was in ukraine. and she said finland may think about sending fighter jets that did not go down well with her own government . who said that, that's news to them. i mean, i'm wondering if there's some psychology here that we should be picking up on the fact that poland is making this announcements and, you know, they, they did promise about a year ago to do what they say they're going to do now. and within a couple of days, but the fact that they are pushing forward and right now going it alone. does that reveal? maybe divisions within natives that have not been made public? well, it's more than psychologists, geography. it's not only the polls that say give you crane everything it needs the baltic states regularly say whatever ukraine ask for whatever we can provide. let's send it now. and the divide between nato is not just political. it is geo political . if you are a country with a border with russia, a border with ukraine of border with belarus,
10:10 pm
you very much feel that unless we give you crane everything it needs to stop russia . we're next. so these countries would say to those allies who wor, no, this might be an escalation, the escalation, they say would be letting russia, when and ukraine w series with valuable analysis tonight. terry, as always, thank you. thank you. there will be no parliamentary vote in france on increasing the retirement age from 62 to 64. the french government today invoked a special constitutional provision that allows it to bypass a vote by law makers. now, the bill which does raise the retired age from $62.00 to $64.00, which the government says is essential to keep the pension system intact. it is a controversial one. the changes have been met with widespread opposition, including months of protests and strikes across france. o, b is debate into a raucous rendition of france's national anthem as opposition impedes, made
10:11 pm
a last ditch attempt to stop the planned pension reforms survey. no, my dear colleagues. thank you. i will ask each of the parliamentarians who are holding up a sign to please stop immediately. this is against our rules, and the for is for the prime minister. emanuel mccullin's government says the reforms are vital to keep pension sustainable for the future. but as the deadline to pass the legislation approached ministers feared they wouldn't have enough support to push through the changes and stayed just minutes ahead of the should your vote, the government in vote special powers to skip the process altogether. do by room. all members of parliament to day on the parliament bill and due to the uncertainty hanging over a few votes, we can't take the risk of seeing 175 hours of parliamentary debate collapse. we can't take the risk of seeing the compromise built by the 2 assemblies dismissed.
10:12 pm
we cannot bet on the future of our pensions. this reform is necessary is on the move to force. the reforms prompted immediate outrage from the opposition just you'll soon, of course, this is inadmissible. obviously oysters, because once again, it's my own question i forcing the majority as is normally the nature of article 49.3. it's a question of preventing the expression of the will of the french michael through their elected representatives. opposition lawmakers have said, thou request a no confidence vote in the government, but that's unlikely to pass with conservatives vowing to go against it. the development spots fury on the streets of france with proteus erupting once again. demonstrators clashed with police a vincent, their anger at the changes end, the government that's pushing them through germany since our love schoultz is
