the courageous effort against corruption and political crimes. in our series guardians of truth watch now on youtube dw documentary, the this is due to the news lives from berlin. a warning from russia for the west do not send advanced fighter jets to print, keeps as the jets promised by its allies could give it the upper hand. russia says it's a profit cation and to pull nato into the conflict. also coming out of berlin hospital

caught up in a suspected poisoning mystery for to russian journalist the victims of an assassination attempts because of their criticism of the criminal and the aftermath of devastating floods. the democratic republic of congo, climate scientists, the african fits, is more disasters as the plan that gets one of the . i'm on east if it's good to have you with us. russia has one that sending f 16 fighter jets to ukraine will raise the risk of nato being dragged into the war. at the g 7 summit and japan, ukraine's allies pledge to supply t if with the us made aircraft. president zalinski has assured washington that the aircraft would not be used to strike russian territory without any of the landscape during what turned out to be a highly successful visit to japan. since

a star for us has invasion, ukrainian president has had one consistent message for his western allies. more weapons for ukraine. at the g 7 summit in hiroshima, a long held invasion came true. of a coming us resistance to supplying ukraine with f. 16 fighter jets with thousands of essex themes in service and dozens of countries the best outside is seen by keith as the best craft to challenge russian superiority. us president joe biden had long resisted keith to month fee of the conflicts spreading the on to cranes, borders. but off the allies, such as the u. k and the netherlands pushed for sending. do you estimate jet to crane fight until to lensky? he had finally dropped his objections i told the united states, together with our allies and partners, going to begin training. ukrainian pilots,

in 4th generation fighter crack including f, 16 to strengthen ukraine's air force as part of a long term commitment to ukraine's ability to defend itself. we provided to last year, all that they needed to deal with what they were dealing with at the moment. and that's where the now we're moving in the direction of putting him in a position to be able to be defend themselves in ways beyond what they've had to deal with. so far. with the us, vito gone ukraine's allies are free. does nate the 16th to keep them all, but it's a lot to knock some yeah, we're working on it to enough. i'm sure. because we already know which countries we will work with that. obviously what's on that, even before we and lots of training programs, will be a sixteen's. we will get the planes enough time for now. i cannot say how many is not the secrets anymore. i didn't know myself and the secret, it'd be so the filling is not rush asked estimates the impact of 5 digits would have on the battlefield. it's suggested that use would raise the specter of nato

involvement in the conflict. but in the past, most cost threats have failed to prevent ukraine from upgrading. it's awesome. no. or i asked marina myron, from the defense studies department of kings college london, which countries these f sixteens are likely to come from. and when they may realistically be expected in ukraine is a problem with the f. 16 jobs. firstly, we don't know which countries will be the meetings. busy fighter jets and how many? because um presumably poland, denmark and the national lens. the okay, does it have any f, f, 16 jets, for instance. and of course the you ask with the made some at 16 jets as well. when they would be in the air is a difficult question because we need to ensure that the pilots are trained on the one hand. on the other hand, ground crews need to be trained as well. and it takes time. so talking about using

those fighter jets in the upcoming confir offensive is unrealistic because of the infrastructure is not there yet. the jets need to run waste of a sudden rock crews and so on. so um, it would be very optimistic to seeing that they will be arriving and you creating in a couple of months. and the question is, what difference will they make when they finally make it to ukraine? one that we're seeing is rush german police are investigating suspected poisoning of 2 russian journalists who attended a conference here in berlin. the 2 women were trained at the city of charlotte a hospital. they were in the german capital for an event organized by kremlin critic and we have sort of house. there is no evidence of poisoning yet, but their illness follows. patterns of previous assassination attempts. links to the kremlin. earlier i asked our political correspondent, simon young to give us more details. this story originated on a russian language website against boe, which is not

a criminal in supporting sites. it spends the site now. they reported that these 2 women had attended this conference in the berlin organized by our position figuring this out called ski. and they subsequently reported a symptoms that could point to towards a poisoning. one of the women has been identified as a natalia all know, she is the director over at n g o cold uh the free rush foundation that she said she felt on well, but she subsequently travelled on to prague. she said she had known this and shot pain and strange symptoms, and she then returned to us where she's based. now the other woman is a russian journalist and she has since posted on social media to say that. so she confirms that she's been having treatment at the secretary hospital in berlin a,

but she said she's got nothing to do with anything that happened at that conference . and she's also cooled on people to, you know, refrain from speculation. so i think what we can say is a story where a lot of the details are still unclear. armenia is offering to recognize the disputed region of nicole in a car box as the territory belonging to its neighbour as or by john. the 2 former soviet republics had been locked in conflict over the area for decades. fragile seats fire paved the way for peace talks. it's a tyrant, trade that's being played by clashes for over 30 years, punctuated by 2 deadly conflicts. but the long dispute open and gone. no, tara buck could be coming to an end. what sort of bits of it sounds like google or media recognizes as a, by john's territory of 86600 square kilometers. as long as, as or by john is willing to recognize the territorial integrity of our meeting is
