the nurse to us that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend dw, the . this is dw news live from the in the making that russia pay for its european leaders missing in iceland to announce a new way of supporting keeps hopes for justice. but will you try and get the spice a jets that it is demanding. also, coming up on the program, people in chat is starting to feel the pressure is prices rise and says growth that

the conflict in neighboring sou dawn could spill over. plus the world's biggest film festival is especially on the wave of the sauce of cam has been built. so i control the see it for a decision to invite hollywood access. you'll need to the menu because this mckinnon. welcome to the program, europe's leading human rights body. the council of europe is calling for registered to document damage to ukraine, caused by russia's invasion. now is to establish the registry would be housed in the hague, with the hope of holding russia accountable, that in the future, the council of europe is currently missing and reach of it. it's the summit in 18 years, but not all of its 46 member countries is all back in the proposal hungry,

touchy and so be a for example, have refused to sign up. on the sidelines of the summit, the u. k. and the netherlands have pledged to build an international coalition to provide fights, a jet support for ukraine job, and trump's local affiliates such um and he will do its part in strengthening ukraine's at capabilities crane's forces to defend themselves. we have provided a number of times and continued to supply these tanks. munition, helping set up the production of ammunition, setting up the infrastructure. all the defense capabilities that have already been set up with the n t across the tags. and man pines that we have already supplied patriot on the irish tea system. we will continue all based on sofa.

all right, so what we can speak to are correspondent in the cf sholtes and who is in right cubic, let's say, can you tell us a little bit more about what chance the show it's had to say at the summit? yes, you just gave a press conference and um, after after the summit and he repeated that germany is very much in favor of supporting the content of europe. and he also did put some more money on the table for that. so he announced that germany would give another 10000000 years to the counts of europe on top of the normally budget that they would pay anyways to support the accounts of europe. and it's work for you. try you all to of what was remarkable. that'd be already made this comment. yes, today at chance i showed said that he believes that even though russia is excluded from this institution, that they should not stop talking to rush. that would be the, the, at the russia, how you called it. and we said he means

a position leaders and other people that might one day shape or rush out back to a democracy. this is what he just explained in the press conference. and um mm hm. okay, can we talk about this? um, planned to provide ukraine with flight fights. a jets is the support from other european lead is to do this well, so we have for the, the dots and the english prime minister half announced that they would work on forging an international cooperation. but then in order to supply ukraine, this, these defense capabilities or even to come, the capabilities that has been a declaration by him on a chrome before that that they would also help in training ukrainian soldiers. but so far, there has been no real promise to van and where they would actually deliver the site to jets that,

that the lensky and ukraine has been asking for for many months months now. okay, so there's no official nato position on this little yet as well. the nature allies have been very reluctant in the past to, to go ahead and give the, the, the, the 5 digits i have not seen unofficial or native reactions as of now. okay, now just um, if i can quickly ask you the council of your members that signed a register of damages today against russia for its invasion of you crime, we know that not all of them have signed it, but can you tell us a little bit more about this register. yes, so this is the big outcome of this concept of europe summit. and there's a register that is going to be set up there damages that are being costs and you're trading via russia should be, should be taking the evidence off and should be registered. this should one day

eventually lead to compensation. but as of now, it is not clear how this compensation would look like and then it would come into place. also. it has not been signed by all of the cons of your members. we have heard of. there are some that are missing among them. hungary, serbia, also cherokee. alright. the w correspondent to say a shelton reporting from bray cubic. thank so much opposed to show that americans are losing interest in sending weapons to ukraine around 48 percent . say that they support on shipments, but that is opposed to around 60 percent just of to rush it invaded boss, there is a network of campaign is what's lobbying, the us government to continue delivering military supplies. and so one of the gaps left with fundraising, a correspondent met with one of them the us army of estron, who also spent time slicing in ukraine. i

suppose ukraine action summit has brought together dozens of groups from around the country to keep pressure on congress. their message without us aid ukraine is lost . for carl larson, personally, we joined the international legion and ukraine after the russian invasion began. and he fought in your car, keeps handle. he said he saw a comrades dire because of a lack of equipment and all this. this is a piece of the show that that killed him and almost killed me. it hit him and we didn't have the generator. so our, our batteries on our radio's didn't work and we didn't have to get him out. he said his boots are still staying with the comrades blood most americans think, or we send a $100000000000.00. they must be driving gold plated paints over there. right? no, they don't have even. and then a boots in the snow. where the u. s. government falls short,

larson believes crowd funding can step in. he's successfully fund raised over $100000.00 to buy non lethal military equipment and send it to ukrainian soldiers. and he's created a workshop to teach others how to do the same. while civilians can't send the heavy weapons key, if it's asking for, they can still do a lot. he says big issue, the summer sleeping bags and most of my guys did not get winter sleeping bags until like february. so they literally were wrapping themselves in garbage bags. there's a lot of miscellaneous stuff here. we won't get into need pads. drones. 550 cord power banks, super important, super important. this is a really nice tool. you can use this on your plate, carrier mounts right here. right now, it's right here instead of this pouch. and then it's on your chest and you put your phone in it. so then you can like, when you're on maneuvers, you know, you can look at where your map is and where you have to go. so we're buying these

and we're shipping them over to your larson isn't just in washington to talk fundraising. a big part of his activism is meeting with lawmakers and their advisors to call for bigger and better arms deliveries. you know, it feels good to deliver equipment and we've, we've generated a lot of money and a lot of equipment. but we all realize the big win is getting the us government to give you create enough tools to win, not just to survive as the war drags on more and more americans are questioning the cost of funding ukraine. for larson, that makes us work all the more urgent you cranes add defense now uses the us patriot missile system there. knighthood by the west to help the state of russian attacks. now russia says its latest attacks, which some claim include hypoth, sonic missiles, was able to destroy ukraine's missile defense system. the ukraine has dismissed this as russian propaganda. us officials how aw,

suggesting that the patriot system was likely damaged, although probably not the score destroyed. let's get more on this from franklin, which is a full military intelligence officer and joins us now from oaks. the in the u. k. good to see you, frank, can we start with these russian hypersonic missiles? tell us, do they have the capability of seriously damaging the patriot missile defense system or even completely destroying it? the answer is probably yes, if they all used in sufficient numbers to overwhelm the system. is one qualification or major qualification to that, of course, and that is the last to talk on key of which was 2 days ago. you kind of shut down hold of this house, striking the city. now it's probable that they didn't use patriots for those. that seems to massage or use that will show us a range, but the direct on the question is yes,

0. the issue of course is if they did dot mitchell, destroy one page, it launch costs are many go. there are several more, i think, but you kind of talk about side of it. and this goes back to it. mr. lawson. any previous report to what pops? remind the soul that the u. s. has 480 launches, none of which are close to being used in combat at the moment. right. so your credit has 8. mm hm. these high performing miss files. i mean they, they, they seem quite terrifying the 10 times faster than the speed of sound. uh, making them almost impossible to shoot down, but um, all they may be no sort of twice as scary as previously for. absolutely not. there's no doubt whatsoever that you may not have taken down some if not all of the consult massages that have struck. oh, thank 5 that ukraine and not prop uh, uh, not proper hypersonic missiles have a very limited maneuver and capability not before. 3 weeks ago,

there was some doubt as to whether the latest model of patriots could in fact engage and destroy these. now with no doubt patriot could not can, could deal with with can solves which as i say in any event, not really true. hypersonic massage, but they are essentially a modified ballistic myself. and the yes patriot can deal with those insufficient numbers. okay. and, and have these odd funny miss lyles already being frequently used by russia and ukraine, or is, is they use a new development now it's not new. the day we're used 1st as i've called last april last april 22. there was another attack, a late last year, and a flurry about 6 weeks ago just before the ukrainian spanish operation lies the american with help. i can help that patriot batteries. so they have used it before the cost that limited in the stocks to the russians, and they will be to placing those as your tax money. but it seems futile. go up front, we'll have to leave it there. but thanks so much as ever. that's full military

intelligence officer frank lead, which my pleasure. thank you. okay, let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world today. many a 1000 people have been evacuated off the heavy rains triggered flooding in northern italy, italian state radio reports as an elderly man died and his flooded home firefighters have carried out thousands of rescues. the deluge comes 2 weeks off to similar floods in the region left, 2 people dead and moraine is now full cost for the french president, nicholas aqua z has lost his appeal against a 3 year prison sentence for corruption, of course in power as rule, but to be is, was suspended and that he could wear an electronic bracelet for the remaining year . sentence also ban. so because the from public office for 3 years and a pony ship has reclaimed his record for the mouth. most summit of mount everest

coming to retail scale the peak for the 27th time after another climb a tide. his previous record, last weekend, rita has been a guide for more than 2 decades. the 1st reached the summit of the world's highest mountain back in 1994. are now the united nation says that more than $3000000000.00 in aid is needed to help see don's refugee crisis around a 1000000. people have been displaced off the intent, spicing it broke out a month ago. at least 200000 have now left the country with many rushing to chad, but that neighboring country has its own struggles. a 3rd of its population lives in poverty, their office that the facing. and so don could create further problems in chad with the risk of chaos and violence that the w's show a while reports now from the capital on german,

a markets and domina. another customer decides the price is too high and walks the way i used to buy my crates of cucumbers for 2 and a half 1000 francs. today they cost $15000.00. so i have to put up the price and lose customers. it's difficult for me, this is how i feed my children. everyone is feeling the pressure is uh, good natured to i used to sell several dresses a day. but now i go 2 or 3 days without anyone buying anything, even the fabrics, it become too expensive. everything has become expensive. most of the green charges come from ukraine. the war there created a food emergency here last summer that came on top of a fuel shortage. and now predicts us with the economy, a being driven down by the keels next door is the don. this was actually supposed to be a good year, which had the international monetary fund, predicted that with

a country producing more oil and selling of higher oil prices last year, that is economy would expand. but with the warranted on happening so close by, that growth would now be effected. it's not just the economy k of the chart years could spill across the border of some trees hot. it was. uh so nice uh solid. yes. uh that will see the fighting in doubtful that's across the board. the i've been dissolved and by the way to charge you an even if they're charging uh government as a state is trying to keep it very neutral position in the fighting. so in the conflict type might be in a way abroad in that country are in that conflict, mainly from the way the different ethnic groups or communities might engage in that conflict in the coming days. people here are in a similar situation as to don used to be their rule by a military government which is broken, promises to hold elections,

it puts down demonstrations for democracy with deputy violence position lead looks too much. i remove these clear pearls, which to don rep wasn't set up for his customer because the problem is that there's a click holding onto a pallet. it's the same problem we have here in chad. is this something how many hundreds of suited needs were killed because they want to the transition to civilian government? and here they tell us that the military must stay empowered to guarantee the security of the region. but they can not 17, i mean most of it because instead of going on to the child is the, the keels and byways sharing a proxy. don, next door concerned is rising. but even if they avoid that feeds, that war will only make their lives even harder. it's now events that taking place around the world to moxie international day, a guy's home, a soviet by phobia and transferred you organize and say the rights of l g,

b t. 2 people are increasingly at risk in some places. well, many countries have passed legislation recognizing transgender or the same sex parents rights, others of rolling back protections protests of taking place across the us. for example, what campaign to save? hundreds of new laws are an attack on l. g, b t, t, people in russia, a clump down on the l g b t q. community has reportedly intensified since the war on ukraine annual has been paused bonding. what authorities label gay propaganda, the russian act to this field trip. both chris and ski says it's as this at l g p t q people are no longer allowed to exist. fearing for his life, he told dw that he decided the flight to germany before it was too late. a mixed feelings and thoughts out of original handbook. apple it took last filter,

was kasinsky, has funded and wrapped into any of the stuff over in 3 different countries. the attribute to q activist was forced to leave his homeland in order to avoid political persecution. the village he sent me is my entire life is now inside his long suitcase and walked back. i didn't want to leave the events prove that i made the right decision for mine. there have been developments relating to the new law on so called l g. b t q propaganda filter was kasinsky, has been championing eligible to q rights in russia since 2007. when poor to switch to possible, he used to go out and demonstrate. he last attempt to prove more toner runs towards the sexual minorities in russia. what's his private museum? exhibited art related to the russian eligibility q has 3, but to, to had to close it down after receiving more in class with us. the human rights organization supported was kasinsky and he's escaped to gemini,

which and i think theme visions again on february the 24th to go to for it became clear to me the democratic tract. them was a negative a lot better than the 1st few months of the i was even afraid to leave my apartment going to the door. this case janski's worried about the safety of queer people in russia. he says that manually from fear, particularly those in small towns and will areas. then you look into what's being called quote, l, g, b to q propaganda was passed by the russian, pelham and plus here, it basically aims to bend any depictions of homosexuality that might be seen as positive. as such, oliver, i knew since the beginning of the walls with the most l. g. b flat to organizations that have either been shut down by the thought of jesus, or they will have to be evacuated from russia. they're only a few initiatives. let that help b l g b t to community all locations for mahler. and it's not clear how long they will continue to exist because the state is targeting active. it's a big deal for our kids. can do anything they want to when nobody is there to

resist the stuff to send you to send you a moss on somebody's so store and build that was kasinsky is going to spend the next few months in the shelter for a few trees. he says, the most important thing is that he's safe. no, he aims to support career people in russia from germany. if that is possible, i seen you as much as a check. it's impossible to live in russia. if you own just you have come to you any apologies for those or you issues that we had that, but hopefully we can hear the w's most scope. your a cheat here is shutter. that's great. he joins us now from riga in lot via because the w has been banned from reporting in russia. it's good to see a year. now i know that you've reported on the experiences of a l, g, b, t to people in russia. many times can you explain to us how difficult life is for

them as well? it all depends on how you live. and if you show your house how much extra ality all, you'll be transgender and transactional, and to where you live and in the city is of course i'll give you 2 people. happy to much easier than in the countryside, but that is a little different to you and your problem in russia isn't everyday life. but as a potential banjo that the videotaped acute community permanent with faces and disease denture is having the 1st latency. latoria is low on so called gabriel down to we saw it into the cold. and that is eddie pro gave remark even price about film for example. any remark that is not a negative can be punished because it could be interesting as positive and ultimately gave up again that and secondly, it's about the general effort of the state to persecute people who think differently. and especially in times of war. it's about people who publicly protest against this so called special mutual duration, ukraine. if you also gave you,

are these a target for that awesome? just the system. so how is this crack sound by the kremlin on the l g. b t q. community viewed by the russian population in general, as well as it is no such a thing as the russian soul, xerox and population is dead, as there is no such thing. the germans of the americans have met plenty of open minded tyler and people in russia. nor would i say the process i have left will be from the 1st many are afraid of being different in any way. secondly, many men in russia are abroad, up as macho. strong man who are never allowed to show weakness and being gays interpreted as a weakness in russia set. many russians say what i don't know. i don't care to know why it doesn't hurt me. uh that is as long as you did, you people remain indivisible else did you period people in the society. it's okay . i know russians who are public at home a for the but half of the 2 friends in the private circle. and finally,

i look for the a and transfer will be a i used politically. for example, when russians were cold to vote for constitutional changes for years ago. the government advertised with integrated video is deliberately increasing, had tried all of us, but the community, if we could just talk about the report that we just sold, the acts of a says that he now wants to support russian l g b to keep people from his exile in germany, what form could could that's take well, of course, it's better to fight against human rights violations is the country itself and discrimination against those. if the 2 people is clearly human rights violation bought the circumstances have become sold. interest is that there are hardly any injury or in russia working on the issue. what you ought to from that report i can do from germany is, of course, or from europe to a house, all the eligible to people to leave russia. and if they live, i live, all safety are at risk. all right, well, have to leave it that. that's

a thanks so much for now. you're a professor. reporting from rica now is the showcase the some of the wells best cinema and the $76.00 come film. festival is now officially underway. the question on everyone's minds, of course, is, who will walk away with the top prize, the prestigious pond off on tuesday. all eyes were on the stalls, arriving to the opening ceremony. con, some things are entirely predictable. it's always a red carpet spectacular. but the jury president hopes deliberations for the top prize will be interesting, but don't trying to find a way of, of formulating yourself and to avoid concerns just definitely, it's so boring to be in the, in a, in a, you're a, when it's consensus. this year's com is not being with a control oversee. many critics of asked why actor jody that has featured so prominently starring in the festivals opening film. one that isn't even in the
