lots of walter. those are the things that people who are really, who's been so badly affected, some of them that we saw in the report say they need just in the very immediate terms. but the you also has the to 9 think some more funding for the next the next couple of months to, to cover the reconstruction efforts beyond those immediate human needs. and that includes, according to our level underline $100000000.00 euros and solidarity funding for this year. to be made available, the possibility of 300000000 for the year after that source who have underlined really coming to say that the e u is vice lavinia side. she said it's for meetings has been ready to help when other countries nearby were affected by natural disasters like earthquakes or flooding. no, they need health and she said to you is there, there were some questions about whether this was new money, whether it was fresh money further it will be enough will time will tell on that. it really does seem so the need officials are saying that they did the cost of trying to reconstruct these kind of constant jobs of all sorts of different types

of damage that could run into the billions rarely we saw in your report of the pictures of the destruction, it really is quite significant. can you give us a quick update about the situation on the ground right now as well? i think you'll see a writing me here. lots of books. those. well sir, that's because of what we've been told is the sizes of people are still cut off from fresh ronnie walter. why? because bridges have clocks because there have been severely damaged roads that tiring in the report. we could only access with a military escort along severely hampered roads. we collapsed power lines, collapsed bridges along beside just then. so the, the situation is still pretty dire in parts of kind of the country. but what i can tell you is that we have seen volunteers, army members of firefighters working really right in the quote sl videos as well as people is coming from other countries. so the clean up is well underway, moving fast, but not to not to, to determine the factor to, to,

defying the head cover a little since last year. crises comment comes just ahead of the 1st anniversary of gene. i'm also, i'm name is dest, which sparks white on the red ball, yet, one of it's, one of germany's biggest arms manufacturers has come to the purchase of 50 elected one times from a belgian company. the times are old and will be refurbished here in germany. they are expected to be sent to ukraine to strength and supplies at the front line that you have any phase criticism early in the wall for being too slow and its supply of arms to ukraine. that the land has since romped up. it support supplying the 1st of the left the tanks at to ukraine in march this year. i also the w correspondent to dsl deli, if the german government has now confirmed the purchase of these tags. well,

what we've heard this morning is that of the ours manufacturer alignment. todd confirmed this purchase after some articles appeared on some broad sheets here in germany, but also abroad. and assignment has confirmed the purchase of uh 50 tanks from a belgian company. these tanks will then be refurbished in germany and are meant to be delivered to ukraine. now these tanks were previously part of the belgian military's weapon stock until they were decommissioned in 2014 and then bought by the company that then sold them further to define metallic. and i'm is on, has said that the tanks are being paid for by the german government in its efforts to assist and support ukraine with weapons. what we've heard from the german government so far is that they don't confirm their direct involvement in this specific deal. but they have said that they do have an ongoing contract with assignment time to deliver weapons to ukraine. okay,

so these types now need to be refurbished. i mean, do we know when we can expect to see these tanks in use yet as well? we know that the tanks are really in quite a bad shape. they have not been used for many years, so there is going to be a lot of work necessary to make them operational. we know that some of them are in such bad shape, but they can only be used for parts. that's why out of the 50 things that have been purchased, it is likely that only 30 are then going to be delivered to ukraine and we've heard from the company and the owner of the company that sold these tanks to assignment times that he expects them to be operational on the field within 6 months, but this timeline has not been confirmed by assignments on itself, so we don't really know how long it will take for the refer measurements. now these tanks are quite old. the leopard one is the older version of the leper to tank, which is currently in use by the german army for example. and most of the leopard,

one things have been commissioned by the countries whose armies had been using them in the past. you don't use juliet's identity following that story for us. thanks so much on that. so we have time for coming out next to don't document tree but looks at the inner workings of israel most side intelligence center state you. and for that, if you can, i'm any kids mckinnon, i'll cc the interest the global economy.
