it really is time management animals and it gives me not to let i do the tree combating, shooting dealings starts april 29th on d, w. ah ah, this is the w news life from berlin tonight, a meeting of more than 50 countries and their latest plans to help ukraine against russia. the u. s. is hosting at its german ramstein base and american trent tanks, we understand for ukraine will arrive by this fall. ukrainian troops will be trained inside germany. also coming up as ramadan ends,

a fragile truce begins in sudan. but witnesses, they're saying there's no lead up in the fighting more than 400 people. i've now been killed as the army battles, paramilitary, rives, also coming up later in the program. scientists say that the last 8 years have been the hardest on record. how rising temperatures are changing our lives, especially in asia and in sports. chelsea in a crisis with fans comparing the owner to a hapless tv character known as ted last up. now it seems that julia novels, men is not joining the club at all. ah, lou. i'm brink officer i'll review is watching on p b. s. in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin this friday with the latest plans to help ukraine in its war against russia. keeps western allies have been beating an air base here. rigidity,

u. s. secretary of defense, lloyd austin, and the pentagon's top general mark. milly said today that ukraine's partners stand united on providing weapons and other equipment to ukraine for the long haul. often gave this summary of recent arms deliveries to ukraine. our collective efforts have made a huge difference on the battlefield. and now in just a few short months, the contact group has delivered more than 230 tanks. more than 1550 armored vehicles and other equipment and munitions to support more than 9 new armored brigades. we've also expedited our in one abrams timelines to supply ukraine with more armored capability in the coming months. and the em onset the ukrainians will use for training arrive here in germany in the next few weeks. and all of this is huge progress. secretary

austin also says that washington is speeding up efforts to get us made abrams tanks on to the battlefield and you crate as soon as possible. and according to the latest timeline tanks will arrive at a military training ground here in germany at the end of may ukrainian troops will then begin a training course that's expected to last about 10 weeks. those training tanks, they will not go to ukraine. instead, 31 other abrams tanks are being refurbished. they will be sent to the front lines in ukraine. by the fall, germany's defense minister boris pastorius announced today a new deal with poland to set up a repair hub for tanks damaged on the battlefield. yet as motley of us, he, indian creek leave one upon finding a material we deliver to this war, such as tanks and other equipment like how it says or even patriot systems will fly, can be damaged in combat in dollar and also through long term easy. therefore,

does it go to with my apologies, coolie? that's why i'm very glad that today, along with my polish colleague and my ukranian colleague understand, i was able to sign a memorandum of understanding i and setting up my joint repair hub in poland for the entire layer to fleet dump. de leon fly flow to other deeds, fly off. he said that these tanks can be quickly repaired when needed, close to the polish you cranium, that florida ne, by but doubtful debit. and so how important are these new pledges that were made today for the ukranian effort against the russians? i put their question to raphael loss from the european council on foreign relations . i think the main message, often 11th meeting are to ukraine defense contract. was that off the i say to ukraine, we're with you for as long as we at takes. and we really mean it, as we've seen it, of new commitments that allies and partners of ukraine have made in the past couple weeks. but now we focused on sustainment and increasing the supply of ammunition

use repair parts on the head of ukraine's expected offensive. and a panel effort to expand ukraine's air defense capabilities. the ukraine is pushing its allies, particularly the united states to supply fighter jets as well as air defense systems. what makes both of these so crucial and do they have to come in tandem? us secretary of defense law, austin remarked on the sidelines of the ramstein form it, we take that the primary focus is to strengthen the ukraine's ground based air defense. and i think he's right and that, and i need to supply more ammunition and more systems to help make up for the loss of 2 systems that ukraine has been using to date and where the nation is running, you know. but the question about western produced jet certainly is one that i should tackle early on supply timeline for these very complex systems.

be many months, maybe even years. training of ukraine and pilots want to setting up of supply chains, supply lines for ammunition and spare parts will be a backup. it's a very complex undertaking, but i think the decision is taken early. then we can see them have an effect further down the road. here what do you make of the german defense minister today announcing that there has been in an agreement with poland to set up a repair hub there for tanks. i think it's a really big step forward for ukraine, but also for german polish nations, which have not been good and recent years. and it makes me happy as an artist and as a european to see that those 2 governments can now collaborate more effectively when it comes to supporting ukraine and defensive struggle. and hopefully this effort will expand further to include other systems that now focuses on the leper to tank tipple, poland and germany have taken a leadership role in supplying to ukraine. but i think there's certainly

a potential to expand that effort, even if you look at the calendar, it's almost late. april has ukraine assembled enough military equipment to launch that counter offensive against russian forces? most people we were expecting it to happen now this spring i think they do have all the pieces in place and now it's about sin cries in that they've received a lot of military capability from that partners in the west that includes tanks, that of infantry fighting vehicles, but it also includes pioneer engineering equipment. combat engineers are important to clear minds to clear obstacles, everything, and that ukrainians will need to break through the russian defensive lines which have only gotten stronger over the past couple of months. because of course, everybody's expecting the ukraine and offensive to liberate additional territory. this will not be a walk in the park for the inconvenience. but i think with everything that western allies together with your credit, i've done these last couple of months. there's

a good chance to make some progress on that front end roughly before we run out of time, let me ask you, there's still a lot talk belt ukraine, one day joining nato. how useful is that? that rhetoric at this point? i think it's certainly an important question, how to guarantee ukraine's sol route he m if and when that war events and hopefully, sooner rather than later than she thought and broke nato secretary general, just visited the key of yesterday. invite whatever is events can to join nato, eat us when they meet and then yes, later this year, in july, for the annual summit, i think a strong message from major allies towards ukraine that day take ukraine's ambition seriously. and that they present ukraine with the prospect of eventually becoming a nato. and i, even if it is, i'm taking some some more time for your loss with the european council on foreign relations. raphael, as always,

we appreciate your time in your analysis. thank you. thanks for having me. and for ukraine's perspective on this d. w roman, going to ranko in keith told us if this the news today, if this was what ukraine was hoping to hear. well, yes and not quite so because for ukraine, when we, when we remember what was said before, that meeting in ramstein, folk range was extremely important to hear that we will come more ammunition for its anti aircraft systems. long range emissions for it's across systems f u k was also hoping for a signal to finally become green light for, for you in fighter jets like f. 16 us made a fighter jets for that didn't happen and we still don't know how much ammunition for the credit fences the west will deliver. but on the other hand, the biggest good news for ukraine is probably the announcement by the united states

to soon deliver 1st abrams and one tanks for ukrainian soldiers to train in germany . so these rules begin very soon, and then those tanks will then come in summer, but for the offensive, a big offensive operation that you can is planning. now, that would probably come to late. yeah, i was gonna ask you, what about these promises these announcements being made today and what do they mean for the counter offensive on the battlefield? well, as of just educate needs, those are anti aircraft systems. a christ has some. the rest has delivered some including patriot system with systems which are very good. but ukraine is much more we've seen in the past days in the east of ukraine, where the heavy fighting is continued by see a by more than other towns in the region in don bass that russia is using more and more. it's an aircraft, again, is bombers again, and ukraine is not able to shoot them down because they are operating from a distance. so you create,

you can needs more support from the west on that front. but in general, you crane have, if you look back a few months back on the west, western countries have delivered a lot of new weapons, heavy weapons to play like a main battle tanks. german leopard, 2 tanks, and the news from ramstein that they will be a repair base in poland is very, very important because it is often underestimated how important it is to have an opportunity to repair and maintain such a such heavy weapons. i want to get your take on a tweet that came from the ukrainian defense minister of he tweeted that ukraine has now basically reached unprecedented levels of inter operability with nato. we are de facto already, a part of the alliance is security space. and what does he mean by that? well, we hear such messages here and keith again and again and the, and the fact is a debtor, nato and ukraine are very, very close partners. and that corporation is only increasing. and ukraine would

like to finally formalize its relations with nato, because it sees in nato, the only guarantee that a war like we've seen, will not happen again. so ukraine is hoping ahead of the nato summit in earlier when you're in summer to gave a to have to hear more from natal than just the saying that you create and will become a nato member some day. but no specific date was mentioned so far. it means roman, going to rank reporting tonight from key roman. thank you. sedans army and a rival paramilitary group have agreed to a 3 day truce at the end of ramadan. but witnesses in the country say they are still heavy fighting, taking place of the capital cartoon, where the 400 people had been killed, thousands more injured since violence erupted a week ago. oh, the cool to pray rings and see christie's district in her team. oh, as my ship is gathering site enough to celebrate, eat,

the end of the holy month of ramadan. they all say praying for peace it jani, while i doesn't get it, because we don't feel like it's eat everything that's happening. walker, i'm about law. it was the same over the last few days of ramadan and humbly learn a lot. we thank god anyway, look it up. it's got the will. what i can bulldog. what's taking place is inevitable. cynthia country ruled by 2 leaders cannot move forward that often walker. there can't be to army as much over that. where with the armed forces of the people in the land say are the people also brought to know what's happening with the law. which other fighting between the army and the paramilitary rapid support forces group has continued for a week. all attempts a ceasefire have so far proved short lived for with the airport closed and damaged the e. u. in the 7 member states with missions in sudan including france,

germany in italy, miss try to get an estimated 1500 nationals trapped in her tune out safely. you try to avoid, she does it. but when the number of germans who contact us is growing every day and is currently in the low 3 digit range as of today, friday afternoon, we inform local germans daily with the so called compatriot letter on the latest developments. some of them also currently cut off from all communications. i need from the outside off on the acrimony cartoon up cushion. but as gunfire resumed in her team, shortly after the 2 sides announced to 72 hours cease fire. this latest truth is already crumbling. bills of all, dang is in africa affairs analysts. i asked her what can be expected from the ceasefire between sudan army and the rapid support forces?

i think it clear this far is, is not holding. i spoke today with people in, in the capital cut down earlier this afternoon in which the heavy gunfire was audible. and i also have just spoken to actually a relative of mine who is in hard to me, who said no, the street fighting is going on right now. it's quite heavy. and fact sidney's armed forces have come out and informed the population that in their opinion, the air operations have been successful and they're now moving to the ground fighting. and according to the ss they said that they have, that they want to move to street fighting in order to flush out the recess that they've accused of hiding in, in residential buildings. so if anything, things,

things are getting worse and i think too, yeah, i was just gonna say in cartoon to capital, i mean, it sounds what you're saying tells me that the, this is the situation for civilians, the humanitarian situation there is going from bad to worse absolutely, and you know, it's now been nearly one week because people are having difficulty getting food, people having, having difficulty getting water, spoken to people who maybe twice in the last week. there is also the issue of cooking fuel more for there's also the issue of shelter because obviously, not only have people been forced to move from their homes due to the fighting. in some cases they've actually been told to leave their homes. there's of the, the hospitals are lacking basic supplies and also themselves under attack and the indiscriminate fighting. and on top of that is also

a country that's home to 1000000 refugees who are themselves already vulnerable. so the situation is quite tough. humanitarian workers are unable to work. they themselves are trapped at their homes. yeah. what about these foreign citizens? we understand you were still tripped in or to do we know if these evacuation difference or they're making any progress it's, it's unsure there's been contradictory information on the other hand we, we do know that the u. s. has moved to add additional trips to captain when you get in to t. also the u. k. has announced that they will, that they have their forces on stand by their embassy staff and citizens. also many african countries, such as kenya have officially announced that they are planning to evacuate citizens . so, so yes, there is perhaps likely to be some attempt at evacuations. although right now it's nearly possible in the city of them. i'll be on the well doing ever. and was

joining us tonight from eastern bowl. we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you. thank you. let's have a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. 10 members of the same family have been killed in a massive shooting at a house in south africa. police say that they were ambushed by unknown gunman in the eastern city of peter mont. it's book. south africa has one of the world's highest murder brings britain's deputy prime minister dominic rob has resigned a day after a prime minister re she soon act received a report on complaint of bullying by raw for government employees made 8 formal complaints. rob has denied the claims. chili's president says that his government will nationalize the lithium industry. it's the latest challenge to electric car makers scrambling to secure supplies of the metal to make batteries chilly. has the

world's biggest with the reserves, it follows mexico in nationalizing that sector. the pope and donald trump are among those who on this friday lost their blue check verification on twitter, twitter owner ilan must says the check mark will be removed for accounts that do not pay an $8.00 monthly fee, celebrities retaining the blue badge include taylor swift, and you see it right there, a rock above the world. the medial roger coal organization says that the last 8 years had been the hardest on record asia that has been hit, especially hard by rising temperatures in climate change. it is also linked to other extreme weather event, such as the flooding that devastated pakistan earlier this year. critics say that governments are simply not doing enough to tackle global warming a scorching sun and sweltering temperatures. in bangkok, people have been struggling to stay cool long,

but it's unusually hot this here. it's hotter than any other year and it makes my job harder. i feel like i can pass out at any minute as my uniform is thick and the weather is hot and i have to sweep quite a stretch of road all across asia, countries have been hit with reco tie heats, bangladesh saw its highest temperature in more than half a century, while 13 people died from heat stroke at an event in india. of the globe heats evermore extreme heat waves the becoming the norm. the last 8 years have been the warmest ever recorded. according to a new report released by the wealth meteorological organization. there's just no doubt, but by mid i extremes are already a and her face out is just so so many hoping that people can keep up in a sense and you keep hearing about record breaking a bounce over and over and over again. and it's not just heat waves. scientists

linked drought in east africa and severe flooding in pakistan in 2022 to climate change causing untold misery to tens of millions of people and costing billions of dollars of loss and damage. hazardous climates and weather related events also drove migration and wes and conditions. the people already displaced by conflict and natural disasters, according to the report heat trapping, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise in 2022. despite all the target, the not at the global level, the actions on, on the change are still extremely weak. so i think that's just at the local level. we have to prepare for our for much more warming this year is unlikely to see a let up in climate and weather related disasters. only concrete action will help regions like asia, in the future of a come heat like that of the past few days. ah

sports and we start with soccer wear report say that expired munich, coach julian. na guzman is now out of the running for the managers job and struggling english club. chelsea. he had been the big favorite, but who would really want to join a club in such a crisis? it is, this is done over 40. the answer is pretty much yes. since americans are boley took over the english club last year, there's been nothing but trouble. they crashed out of the champions league this week and away down in 11th in the premier league that despite lavish spending in the general transfer window, where chelsea sailed out, lily 70000000 euros more than europe's for all the big leagues combined. there was so many new players that they couldn't all fit in the dressing room and hardly any have settled at the new club. chelsea's doorkeeper has had to defend the owner after you slammed by fans for being a bit too. hands on thoughts. i came to the change room every every game.

so he had like different chat with with us, different games. and i'm not gonna say what he said, what is his normal when will he change? well, he came to do a change of supporters of compared bowling to hapless u. s. fictional soccer coach. ted lasso. even joking. who might be the next manager? after all bullies onto his 3rd coach already at the 2nd champions league lean thomas taco and then his successor, graham potter. after the 6 months he's brought back club icon, frank lampart as interim coach. despite his poor record as a manager and chelsea of so far lost all his 4 games in charge of people, michael law about issues of the chosen because of us how much success. and the reality is this comes going to be back and it will tight work and it will take my live air process form or by immune coke. julian now guzman,

when the bonded league last season and had been the favorite for the permanent chelsea job. but reports he is now out of the running bullies. tenure has so far been more horror show than hollywood. he must get the next decision. right? if chelsea to reach for the stars again and mark matters who made that report is right here without the big table from the w sports to talk about who might be stepping into footballs. hardest to see. it isn't, i mean, scorcher martin. this is a high profile job, and it seems that mr. julian now guzman is not going to be the one to get it. no, i mean he was the favorite, but reports were coming out today that suddenly he's, he's not in the running half the reports in britain are saying it's his decision. half a saying it's chelsea's decision. i think he's biding his time. maybe for the real madrid job. yeah. because there's a chance even though they might want to know the champions league, there's a chance that they'll still fire their coach. got one shot because when the spanish league and that's not good enough. and also brazil want to take on to lottie. so i

think he's waiting just to see if that big, big, big job comes up. maybe doesn't want to go to chelsea. but i mean, you could argue a quote that has these kinds of problems as a place. maybe you want to stay away from. exactly. i mean, it's a, it's a big mess that, i mean, as i said in the piece, they've got too many players. and you can millionaires to get changed in the corridor at one of the richest sports teams on the planet. i mean, it's absolutely insane. what's going on there for you like a year and louis enrique, the former spain and barcelona coach was linked that's gone cold. now looks like the reach your party tino is now the favorite. now he's ex tottenham. tottenham are also looking for a coach and it was assume he go back to town and but if he goes to chelsea they'll be absolute uproar. it's like driving a, b, m, w for years and years and then suddenly driving mercedes. it's just he just can't do it. no, it's not driving. the volkswagen wired. we know that they've struggled since not was been left. what was it just last month? me, do you think that we might see him go back?

i actually think is a possibility because the buy and board are now in such trouble to what's happened . you know, they got rid of him with a treble still possible. now they're going out to the gym and cook out of the champions league on the thomas dog, took a low, he tends to stay at clubs, 2 years, max caught an abrasive, character, and bye no said the only have jimmy speaking coaches and there's not many out there he's only 35, so i think he might return. i will, we will see mark medicine b w. sports is always mark. thank you. thank artless. check out some other stories from the world of sports this hour and women's soccer. we're english captain. leah williamson has now or had been a rude aldred, july's world cup with a knee injury. the european champions will now be without a key player in australia and new zealand in tennis arena's hub. olenka has reached these in my finals of the stuttgart open after surviving of scare on the clay against spain's paula by dosa, dilution sub olenka won the australian open this year for her 1st way in slam title
