palace the head of the u. s. nuclear watchdog has visited ukraine separation nuclear power plant for the 2nd time. ah, my wife and i could come to germany for this very 1st overseas. 2 of my room on the west papa. come on out and share and if the new ones are more maneuverable, they have other equipment of the thermal sites. range. finding shots, a 3rd and his wife camilla gemini, president frank by dodge dine. maya, welcome to royal couple with military honors at berlin's brentenbock gate. is to the day after britain began the process of leaving the european union. we're opening a new chapter and our relationship together as fred, as you can,

you can see a similar theme in this visit really after years of fighting really on over i have a break, so it's an ongoing and breaks that negotiations and there was king charles arrived in berlin, the european parliament was holding a special session to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement at would, in spite of all setbacks for the next 25 years and way beyond the u. k. may have left way to start this. i think the main thing to explain is that your eve know, united kingdom has left the european union. there is a strong sense in which it still has a way that the rumbling problems in northern ireland and future. and it's interesting that those problems in northern ireland as various elements say i tried to ask the president who is most associating himself with her, and i, and a commitment to ireland and with an irish identity that was always a part of his a p. so this is, is,

is unthinkable. but is it i think that 1st day and i mean it depends how pessimistic you are on these things. i'm afraid not of us to spend enough time looking at know that i don't know that it is a very divided society. you have to remember that there are still over 100 patient peace walls as they're called to the bit of a misnomer. it's a bit of a thing to say, which is a contradiction in terms they do actually keep the peace and there is a very divided and education system. still, it's still very no number of mixed marriages for instance. and so hostilities are always something you feel could breakouts in the future. it, there's no question that we're away from structured violence between the communities as i used to be. and i think not in any close, imminent danger about at the moment. that being said, we still worry about things, as you pointed out, the threat level was raised by m, i 5 today to go from at to, to be and also your, some of the reviews will be aware that a police,

a senior police officer and john caldwell was, was shot shot a number of times in alma county to rome, which had been the scene of a very well known bombing. and in 1980 on the bombing. so dental echoes and because of the past, well, he's trying to remind us that it's and so video historians, household and your crystal ball at the same time looking backwards and forwards, do you detect a direction of travel and the provinces affairs, whether that be to remain as part of u. k, or in day to become part of a united ireland. well, this is the $1000000.00 question. i think to be fair, what i would say on this is that nor the 9 and started change because of what was the boxed up and then the protocol. and i didn't know that. and as you said earlier, the, when the framework is the other, you know, the mechanism which does not an island, an interesting stuff where it is technically not quite in the united kingdom. and

there is a border in the irish sea, which is the thing that union a so resigned to the ones which are our number of protests and quite, quite as sized valleys going on at the moment. so there is, there is, there's no question that because of the demographics, because the catholic population has now started to grow the protestant population. and there is a majority in that direction that some people see that as the clock is ticking toward the united. and remember, the identity is very complex and i think above what people will do in northern i'm just what they've always done, which is the price piece and that kind of grassroots piece making above all else. but tell you thank you so much for joining us. dr. kernel part of the, somebody at university ah, was really prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he's confident he can find a compromise with the opposition of his planned reforms of the judiciary. that now

who has postpone the introduction of the law for at least a month after huge protest brought the country to a standstill. the lost critics describe it as a threat to democracy. the plans drew a reproach from us president joe biden, who sat on tuesday that israel could not continue down this road. is benjamin netanyahu speaking after those comments? how do we ensure the do judiciary remains independent and that we balance the need to strengthen the executive and legislative and at the same time protect individual rights? i think that balance can be achieved, and that's why i've promoted a pause. the now enables both the opposition and the coalition to sit down and try to achieve a broad national consensus to achieve both goals. and i believe this is possible. oh no, me back. yeah. coff once worked as

a legal assistant to former israeli supreme court. president aaron barrack, who's rulings have been the focus of much of the criticism from the israeli right. and she now works for the british thinktank, a chatham house and joins us from london. welcome to d w. you think benjamin netanyahu can reach a compromise? acceptable, not just to the political opposition, but also to his own coalition and broader reason rainy society as well. i think it's going to be very, very difficult and i think i'm not so sure that he wants to compromise. we want to stay in power and the only way for him to stay in power at present isn't to say with his current very extreme coalition. so reaching a compromise is being streaming tracy at this point, i think he had absolutely no choice legislation on hold. i just like to correct you one a 100 laws that are in the pipeline and one has to be a democracy

. we're not talking about one or a massive, massive, massive or to the whole judicial system. a minority minority women let her gaze the community. it's very serious, very serious situation. just explain to us why you see the reforms that have hit the headlines. obviously the forms for supreme court as well as others. what is it about these changes in the direction of travel? do you think that put the minority is such as you are my man, why does that put them in danger?

minorities approaching danger because they're trying to change the trying to change the laws so that they have full control over the appointment of judges, a supreme court. and they're trying to change the law then that they will not. and then they would like to be able to change some of the basic laws like the human rights and dignity, for example, or allowing every every person in society to work. and there's a threat because they will not allow certain section. so that means women, attention gain, people, that tension, palestinians, i mean it's a very, very serious threat in terms of the way that the direction that they're taking in terms of the magnitude of those goals. but mister netanyahu has argued that the reforms were voted for by the public at the last election, which on the face of it sounds very democratic. i'm vegas wasn't part of the

election campaign. so the, it is true very much true that the government is legal in the sense that it was a democratic vote. and no, i'm is claiming that there was any rigging and they came to power in a democratic fashion. but the laws that they're trying to put through are anti democratic and threat to the very essence of the state. the even israel's of friends are concerned about these moves, will listen to you as president joe biden, and then come back to like money. i'm very concerned that they get free. cannot you go to my whole minister with mister

netanyahu replied to this by saying that israel makes its decisions by the will of its people and not based on precious from abroad, including from the best of friends in effect. mind your own business. no. by your call is in this at least is mister netanyahu, right? i think israel make decisions on i think they do care very much about the united states is pens on the united states. united states. so i think he does. he may not. he doesn't like it, but he does not want to be a what he says he has a he has a very, very extreme. and then he has made

a very sweet part is it, doesn't he have to serve to quite opposing masters? and in that case that he's, he's coalition on the one side international opinion and he's friends in washington on the other. yes, i was not just that. i mean he's, he's the only way he could stay in hell become prime minister is to make, is, is, is, is to join when they make a hellish, sorry, with all of those very extreme parties. so he, by definition, is in a terrible bind because it's a, i don't think he agrees with the correlation. but he has given the mantresa dented concessions, unprecedented powers in order to stay in power and they go on and on and on. so he's continuously giving them more power every time they threaten to leave the

example a 2nd to leave the coalition when the process of the judicial order home, better be and he did, but he didn't give him the he didn't give him more and more and more and more concessions you've got, he is in a terrible bind that he's trying to stay in power and that's also dangerous. thank you for joining us. and here's your views on this developing situation. thank you so much. know me by yackel from chatham house. ah, i moscow says it has shot down a long range rocket supplied by the united states to ukraine. if confirmed it with the 1st time russia has down one of these, a fog reaching weapons that keeps us a needs to reach targets in russian occupied the pos of you, craig. and i was what follows along the way to the delivery of western battle tanks

of, from germany on the u. k. so far case forces we've had to rely on soviet made armor . i corresponded back xander sent this report on the cruise, keeping those old tanks running. these men are farmers from the south. now they belong to the most feared units on the battlefield. the soviet era t 80 takes 3 men to operate at 40 tons and driven at speeds of up to 80 kilometers an hour. gunner basil says the tanks scare the enemy, julio, i will tell you this as soon as they see from the drones how the tanks are coming, then all the artillery is only aimed at us. they forget about the infantry about everything. so they're afraid also, but the tanks need a lot of attention. this one is more than a decade older than the mechanic yoda's. and it shows the actual really k through,

if the tank is on really uneven, groaned, it's often this part of the tracks that breaks and needs to be replaced every now and again. we also have to tighten the tracks missional. let jessica also missy. these tanks may be old and worn down, but they're easy to repair. if the men can get the spare parts, they often find them on the battlefield. on martha's up, just think it would in the luscious. yes, many russian parks fit our vehicles just. we often dismantle russian tanks were spear parts in the undercarriage is suitable for the war. and often we find parts suitable for the engine blows up to syndicate with it more as i'm in it. at the start of the war, the ukrainian seemed to be facing asia piri or tank force. but the russians deployed those tanks often in a very risky way without adequate protection from infantry or fighting vehicles. the ukrainians were able to take out and capture close to 2000 of those tax. but they're saying now if they are to have a chance of taking back territory,

they would need a significant upgrade themselves in the men here are waiting for better tanks to arrive from friendly countries. no one else suffers from another and share and this is the new ones are more maneuverable. they have other equipment of the thermal sites range finders incident and ramirez have se in check. the crew is more protected, not the ammunition capsule is placed at the back. now and keep on exist. shenice uni cops lost inside yet when they shoot, the capsule flies out. yeah. but we don't cancel how many times my proposed moments are in our old tanks. we're sitting on a powder keg and i would agree unfortunately, what he's actually sitting on is this all the tanks, ammunition that can go horribly wrong when an old tank like this takes a direct hit. tanks are seen as the key to

a successful ukrainian counter offense, the moral tanks that are destroyed, the greater the appetite for new better once. ah, finally, a conservation success story from india. a cheater that was relocated from namibia in a reading program has given birth for healthy comes and mother a 3 year old at c i off was one of 8. cheaters. welcome to the country in september last year, i prime minister there and remedy. because birth is the culmination of a 13 year effort to restore cheaters to india 70 years that they were driven to extinction. day is nearly done, but the conversation can continue online. you find this on twitter,

either at dw, you'd probably at okay, either way with ah, with

ah, a minor crisis, all the beginning of a new claim and several us banks are in trouble. well, credit suisse, one of the biggest banks in the world, is on the brink of bankruptcy. how does it come to this one exactly, is at stake. and what makes bank systemically relevant, made in german connect on d, w. one tragedy to many been sent. so luciano had been a fisherman in cro. tony italy for 40 years. he was for the 1st on the beach when more than 80 people address ah,
