the us. it made f 16 fighter jets then after us president biden lifted american objections at a recent meeting of g 7 leaders. here's a look now at how this came about. after re let loose lobbying by ukraine's president bowed to me is a wednesday. it was a powerful symbol of a country desperate for help ukrainian president loaded me. it's so late and suggesting a fighter, pilots helmet to his british host, algio this year i will explain the writing on the rates. we have freedom. he was waiting to protect it. it was a message he would just beat time and again, whenever and wherever he could. we also need more than 500 chess ukraine, says fighter jets, like the us built at 16 would provide air cover to ground forces, protect people on critical infrastructure from russian drone or mesh title attacks,

and help them win this war knows its allies have on should the call united states together with our allies and partners, going to begin training. ukrainian pilots in 4th generation fighter aircraft including f. 16. the international fighter jet coalition looks like this. the u. s . u k. front and others have pledge to train ukrainian pilots on modern and fights projects that page the way for keith to get his hands on the cherished f. 16 model . exactly where from and wayne is not yet clear. as the sole vocal passes. yeah, the very 1st ukrainian f 16 will be one of the strongest signals from the world that russia will only lose because of its own regression, but it will become weaker lot and further isolated. cbs is a little one. for now,

gemini has stayed out of the coalition, bought defense minister bar as historian has not realized playing a supporting role in the future. so is it germany going to deliver for ukraine, or is it going to dig in its heels more? i'm going to bring in alexander mueller, his defense policy spokesman for the parliamentary group of germany's liberal, freed democrats as the f t p party, which is a member of the current governing coalition. it's really, it's good to have you with this. let me just ask you in general, is there any doubt in your mind that ukraine should get fighter jets, whether it be at sixteens or euro fighters, should it get the planes they should get fired at the spot? we f of costs to, to, to look well what is suitable, and i think the 16 is the most you suitable plane and ukraine. so you said the same way. so there are many observers saying that the german government continues to draw all lines in the sand, whether we're talking about long range missiles or babel tanks. now we're talking

about fighter jets these. these lines are being drawn, but it seems to always be clear that you're going to give the weapons that ukraine wants eventually. so. so why draw all these law data though? no light is drawn currently. um we are open for 4 digits. um delivery. but what we have in germany, we have only the tomato fido trip on the euro fi to a 5 digits. and a bose uh, not well suited to because uh the tornado is a. so with that, we want to get rid of it. and, and, um the, uh, you're a fi to, it's very complicated. it's to, to be flown, you need us to, to learn on the euro. if i, to the 16, it's a simpler and easier to use. and so they, they bought the 16. that's what you franchise, and it was sort of be clear on this, mr. mueller, if germany had the f sixteens, but it goods,

and then are you saying that it would have the green light from the german government to do that? i don't know because this question doesn't pose it. that's because we don't have a f sixteens, but it's not, it's not a currently a topic and building, but it, but it's convenient for the political leaders at the moment. when you look at the polls that show a majority of germans or against sending any fighter jets to you crate, i mean it's easy for politicians to say we, we don't have to do this right. it can be later in month. indeed. yes. uh if uh they have no f sixteens anymore in ukraine that we come and discuss uh, sending you are 5 spots uh today and this month. uh, this is, this is not the topic. so i don't see these lines in defense. uh, currently let me ask you, we of tried to get an answer from the german chancellor. he hasn't been willing to give us a clear definition of yet. so let me ask you,

what does victory for ukraine look like from a german perspective? yes, we have this discussion in germany. the child is very restrictive in his words, but off and for the 70 members of unsafe victory means ukraine needs to get back to the territory that belongs domestically legally to ukraine. that is victory for ukraine. and that's what we support you kindful. and before we let you go, mr. mueller, are, are there any limits as far as you're concerned, as to what germany should do to help ukraine achieve this victory? we should as a part ukraine solidarity um no for for them to get back to the country of costs, we should be careful with delivering a tech weapons that could be used for attacking, rushing mainland. but i think the ukraine is uh,

as clever enough to to not to do with these uh steps. so um i have no um, no problem with, with uh, sending the weapons they need alexander mueller spokesman for the parliamentary group of germany's liberal, freed democrats. the if the payments to be that we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you to a as well. the residents of keys are dealing with the after effects of yet another russian air result. 3 people died at least 10 were wounded in the missile strength of damage department building some medical clinic and a water pipeline. recent weeks of c must galle watch almost daily attacks on the ukrainian capital. daylight revealed another day of devastation for keep residents of the night is siren st. families rushing for safety and a pre doing the attack. but not everyone was able to make it to bomb shelters. as

intercepted, missiles dropped from the sky, defended suffice. every one was running to the shelter because people were trying to get in, but no one opened it. a rocket or debris, felt darn, and people were killed was. this is what will be she was in the i lost my why he keeps me a seed investigations were underway into why a medical facility bomb shelter in the area was locked. debris rained down during the bombardment, injuring and killing residents. young girl and her mother are among the deed a lot. so they were run here to hide, but it was closed. unfortunately, we was tending outside. here's the medical cleaning. i mean there's the kindergarten. she felt just between them many k residents, a tired and anxious after weeks of sleepless nights, listening to the sound of sirens and explosions. this was the 18th

attack on the capital. since the start of may, a waste and allies had provided ukraine was advanced air defense systems and recent months improving its ability to feed off bombardments by the kremlin t c. that shot down old teen miss south launched by russia on tuesday. moscow has denied targeting civilians, but russia has repeatedly hit residential areas with a tex intensifying and recent weeks. so as of right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, the russian defense industries says that it has prevented and attempted cross order incursion from ukraine into the russian region of building on the regional governor says at least 8 people were injured there during the showing of the town of shepherd key. now 2 more were hurts. when

a drone crash residents have been moved, the temporary shelters. customized. the president says that the country is ready for fresh elections in the north as long as they are triggered by a legal process. this comes after france and germany's leaders urged codes the vote to consider a new election. tensions have been high between the 2 bulk and stage after survey and demonstrators tried to block ethnically albanian mirrors from taking office of the war in ukraine. it is high on the agenda as foreign ministers from the bricks group of countries gather in the south african city of cape town. now briggs, which stands for brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa. they will discuss the admission of new members as the group seeks to expand its global influence. earlier today, south africa's foreign minister welcomed her russian counterpart to the lever. obviously, you're right there. but there is uncertainty over whether russian president purch

and will be welcome when the heads of states have the bricks. countries beat in johannesburg. this coming august, the russian president, you may remember is the subject of a war crimes arrest warrant that was issued by the international criminal court. all right, let's go to our corresponded now privilege, which one here. he joins be from cape town. privilege. i want to ask you how big of a shadow is the potential of the russian president's presence in august? how, how big of a shadow is it casting over this meeting of the it does cost a big shadow over this meeting. i think if you look at what has been happening, the discussions and, or the price of the low being that has been happening before this meeting here in south africa. it's uh, his costs to beach sandra over this meeting. and you find that you look at the,

even the old position here in, um, so that the guy that the da has filed a court eviction to stop a prison puts need to be admitted august step or not. so that's again, so it was. and then the other thing is if you look at the, even the active east, what ramping up uh uh, pressure on. uh so that'd be good. not to meet a prison. unfortunately, we saw even at the meeting what it is, it was going on there. there was a group of funds, ukrainian association and so that to go with, with picketing at the meeting as well. uh, calling for um the re 10 or fi ukrainian children. that's way. unfortunately, they pointed to russia. so these sit in the shadow. that is me, costs to on this meeting because of the visit they intended to visit by prison.

unfortunately in august improvement, don't let me just ask you, you know, what are you hearing there is y'all to advocate me? do people want the russian president to, to be able to come for this summit or do they think if he comes, he should be arrested that they use a division? if that is so that's a getting ruling government. the n c, the ruling party has come out in support of uh, uh, having present for me to come to south africa. they have, uh, they are ready to roll the roll the red carpet for him. the n f f a one of the opposition parties or even supported and said they were prepared to as quote, the russian president, the viet rides in the country. but on the other hand, some people are saying that they have quite a, you know, a g 30 about this causing is that so that's the got it having with the rice. yeah. so they use kind of

a division into it when it comes to the opinion about that. i'm coming off of prison for the next to the oldest assignments. and we know that not a single member of the brakes group has participated in economic sanctions against russia since the board in ukraine. b began it. has there been any change in any of those policies? and we heard anything coming from, from the meeting that took place today and the briefings that we attended of you could not say is that all the members of the brakes that uh they, i, citing away from, uh, talking about even this issue about uh, present. uh, putting the coming to so i'll actually go ahead and even um, the issue of the i see, see what and so far as they would that think questions that were being thrown to them. so there is some kind of plumber and ship that is being maintained by the

brakes. members that are attending the meeting here, they were kind of trying to shy away from all these questions and addressing what even questions that are being fielded on them in terms ofa, what is being discussed. the international use privilege was one here reporting tonight. the latest from cape town. privilege, as always. thank you for protesters and clash with police and cindy goals, capital the car after a court sentenced a leading opposition politician to 2 years in prison. always mind sancho was convicted of corrupting youth. that's a charge. referring to immoral behavior towards individuals younger than the age of $21.00, sancho denies any wrong doing and he says that the charges are politically motivate, facing off yet again. senate goals ride police up against supporters of those

he didn't want to be judge me. he did everything to avoid being judge. he did so much procrastinating, hit all the way in the beginning. sure. to avoid answering lady justice. today this beautiful lady, lady justice, has rejected him. doesn't like him have condemned him like a bad suitor. whose months uncle stock has risen in recent years with a court ruling could make him on fits to running next year's election, where he's seen of the main challenge of the president mackey. so the president's critics say his ambitions for a controversial the term in office. the heart of the action against sancho for the government denies using the judiciary to suppress a position. the street flashes that have accompanied this rate case of threatening political stability and set a goal, which has long been considered one of africa's leading beacons of democracy. and the ruling against those months uncle will only fuel the flames or purchase it is

real against the government's plans, additional reforms they're entering there 6 months this weekend, the unrest is brought to include other issues such as inequalities between ultra, of course, the docks and non orthodontics parts of society now or orthodox men who study of religious schools do not have to serve in the military. only around half work official jobs and they're, they contribute fewer taxes. they're often entitled to more states support because of their low income, a recent budget, the allocated the community billions more and government funding has a secular is riley's calling for chain another day. another protest in israel. this one is focused on a longstanding grievance. the inequality between the ultra orthodontics and other parts of his riley society are totally off to this march. the government tossed a new budget,

promising billions of shekels extra funding to the ultra orthodox community. there is a big division between the older up to the us and between the auto boss, mainly the 2nd of us who takes the burden of sex spring, serving in the military and all the other do it, is this every citizen have so as i read is a retired lawyer, like most is randy's, he served in the military. he continued as a reservist long off to his compulsory too. he was always a. he says it's not fair that a growing population of ultra orthodox don't have the same responsibilities as everyone else. and that people like him have to pay for them. they want to keep the situation as it is because it's very affordable for them. they don't have to, they're injured the lodge for the security of this country. but it should be stopped the ultra orthodox or how did the makeup just only about 13 percent of

the harding to society that needs to be in the army and in the economy. but we are not going to be there in one day. you step by step. today, after 20 years, we have more than $3000.00, probably the soldiers in them. it's not enough, but you're growing up and every year he says imposing integration wouldn't work and may simply trigger opposition and hostility. and then overcoming division is a 2 way street at the moment. that's what we'll see. it is always society or except the values of the society i believes as the code the society will be more open to hear the problem. so there is a society, but today it's not like this. so it could be a long road ahead. and as the years go by, if neither side takes a step towards the other, this division may only become hotter to bridge the
