w in the state of the news line from simon vladimir putin says, russia will persist with its will in ukraine. russian president towards his end of year press conference in moscow, taking questions from john list, i'm from citizens based as a you leaders me to discuss the tribes future congress pro russia prime minister threatens to the royal proceedings, saying there's no reason to discuss ukraine's hoped for membership now the

i'm feel go welcome to the program. we start with breaking news, jim and police and the rest of the 3 nights, members of how mouse here in button, then on suspicion with planning attacks against jews. does police have a rest of the full suspect and dropped it down to him and prosecute to save you on? that's conspirators plans to bring weapons to ban into using potential attacks against jewish institutions in europe. i scattered out the october 7th attacks against israel and is classified by the e u in the united states as a terrorist organization. and get more from political correspondent, the assignment young who's following this breaking story at welcome, simon. what more can you tell us? or yeah, so, so as you said, 4 men arrested today, 3 in the lane and one in the city of rotterdam. and they are accused of being members of her mass,

which is the cause of the band terrorist organization here. and there was excited to have close links with the mass military when the outcasts and brigades. now, while they're accused of specifically, is preparing attacks, possibly against jewish institutions, possibly europe wide. and one of the main 11, a citizen they said to have been busy since the spring of this year trying to locate a weapons cash somewhere in europe that was previously laid down by a mass. the other 3 men said to have joined that search in october of this year. and, you know, they were looking for these weapons with the intention of bringing them to berlin to hold them ready and prepare at these attacks. and i think it's worth noting at that if that information is correct, this would have pre dated the 7th of october attacks by have mass in

israel. it seems that you know, it was already the efforts that these men were, were undertaking. they're already ongoing at that point right now, how much of course not known for carrying out the tax outside israel and the palestinian territories. so is this a new strategy, or what it does look to be different from what we know about how much the the previously uh they've regarded gemini as heavy, right? not really as a target country and they've met and how much isn't known for carrying out of 10 expenses against western countries. unlike other business groups like outside earl or i s. so it previously a must have been in gem and a spreading propaganda and trying to collect donations. so if this information is correct, if they were planning to a to carry out the tax in germany or. busy where in europe, i think that would mock a sort of new love from the mass terrorist organization. thank the simon simon

young, dw political correspondent, huntsville on the israel. how much that conflict that later in the program. so now the russian president vladimir post and says he will press on with the war and you cry. he's saying that can be no peace until the russian cheese is subjective. that he was taking questions from the public and john list as his end of year press conference in moscow is your marks. com, that's concerned mountains in ukraine, midwest and ministry. i could be in danger of drying a for more than 20 years. these carefully staged event has been used to present an image of a strong and self confident leader. the last year, the milestone press conference was a council of to russian forces suffered major setbacks and ukraine from the now the kremlin is helping to it can project an image of power. well, what did that go to then? where will the piece when we achieve our goals, the ones you just mentioned it. now let's return to these goals. what they have not

changed. you'll have to remind you of what we talked about in the notification of ukraine. it's demilitarization, it's neutral, status is good and i'm stuck with them. so vladimir putin used these same words to justify his invasion of ukraine. ones that are nearly 2 years on his tongue. russians that these goals have not been the chief to ship. so the war has to continue, but he says there will be no maximum of delays ation for now. but to the flow of our menu who are ready to defend, the interests of their homeland with arms in hand is not decreasing sufficient. $1500.00 people daily throughout the country altogether, there will be about $500000.00 people by the end of the year. so why do we need a new mobilization? there is no need for this right now. how can we stay with them?

they cannot make calls stuff, which is war is also in people's minds in russia. but even western experts would meet that despite the rising prices and the following value of the ruble. sanctions have failed to stop the kremlin from financing. it's more like you mean unit. if it's the 1st question is do this margin of safety, i'm going to is provided by several components and you get the 1st futile and most important is the high consolidation of russian society a couple weeks. the 2nd is the stability of the countries economic system. so it can, i mean, just the system was stomach as it turned out. this was a surprise for our so called partners. and to be honest for many of us, is that for more than 4 hours, the russian president reassured the russian public that we have the situation under control. and you know, that's what he's ready is regardless whether he's statements, match reality. his message was clear, the kremlin has enough resources to continue your slide is floor in decades.

let's get more or less than from corresponding to emily show in here with me in the studio and dw that re got bureau chief unit bush, s o. and is that with us as well, both use to report from moscow until dw was banned in russia at let's start with you. at emily. so approaching, spoke for 4 hours to day. why so long? well, it was his 1st big public appearance, essentially since the war. and also this event that we saw today was kind of a combination of 2 traditional formats that um, pushing carries out. so essentially, every year put in does this call in show the direct line where the public can call in and ask him questions. and he also does the press congress a conference. and this was now a combination of both. and what we saw today was kind of a strange mix of everything. so you had him answering questions about foreign policy and you had, you know, people calling in like a farmer from south russia who was, you know,

we saw on video line with his towel. then we had a mountain settings to be a pilot. so really a big mix. and we saw him present himself, i think today as a statesman, a father of the nation. and also almost as a mis magician who can solve russians problems. just, you know, with the snap of his fingers on a couple of unusual mo, instead of being much discussed online. yes. so there was $12.00 moments that stood out. i think one of them was that he took a question on a i and the video that was actually that question from a student in st. petersburg was actually a deep sake of pollutant himself. right. so essentially, the student asks who's in question as puts in and it was kind of funny because put into initially see the matter as you're talking. and then he looks out recently saw himself and he said, you know, he answered the question afterwards, very calmly but so that was, i think a, we a mean more at the moment. and then the other thing was that there were also

screens in the background during the whole event were also questions from the public. we're popping up and some of them are very critical, including, why is your reality the reality of teaching so different from our lived reality? that was one. and when can we move to the russia that is being shown on state tv. and also once a don't on proof for president make way for the young. so very critical. so then there was some discussion or these questions. how can it be that these questions are so critical? was us a hack, that kind of thing? i think it's very unlikely that they should just be like giving you a fee or exactly it's stage managed very strictly by the credit on this event. and, you know, it's supposed to give the image that it's democratic, that the people can ask him questions. i think it's a safety valve as well, for people to let off their career frustrations, but in a very, very controlled manner. okay. usually russia, so and in riga, did i, did mr. fulton site want to rush? i wanted to hear i think, feel if it comes to piece into boy,

i don't think putting has made many of russians happy today because they desire all for many russians is the, at the end of the service shows that what they've had to bill was, is that the ball will continue as long as put these goals haven't been achieved. goals that, that haven't changed since if it's not those, it will and that, that's a bad sign. as a result, many people are likely to have criticized put in today, but they may have done so in private because all public criticism of pollutants policies is risky or press if lowest becoming so many that it's difficult to follow them. these include, for example, life imprisonment for treason up to 15 years in prison for spreading so called false information, which means criticism about is those will help. the russian army all is at austin state is becoming increasingly harsh towards it. citizens who don't agree with his policies and to come back to the show today, i believe that a long wall which boot and has raised as a prospect all for bill only makes installation of words. okay, so emily?

sure in the world, will it be watching at this stage managed though it is, was that a message for the wells from the russian president? i think there was put into traditional defiance. you know, he, he showed, or he said that the war in ukraine was going to continue. he also talked about the west as being an unreliable partner, while praising the reliance, the reliability of, of china. and he also talked about sanctions, which he, um said, you know, you all thought or people thought that our economy would collapse, but nothing has collapse. so quite a bit of defiance there. but also i think that they have heard that he is in being included in things on the international stage. um, you know, he talked about not meeting my call and other leaders. okay. are you ready? um, so he's going to be running again. president clinton will be running again uh for president in march of next year. is it possible just like how much supports he actually has at this stage? as well as the independent live auto sense?

i feel it has fall into that. 87 percent of russians of us that decides with which is work is the same time and a little over 3 months. instead of brush up on the whole presidential elections. and if the presidential election want and house next sunday, let me put in would receive most votes, according to the polls. single indicators of support for the current president, 40 called that of the 2014. so after the next ation of crime, the i think is because many people see that what's important wanted to achieve is gradually happening, namely that the west is becoming increasingly tired of the boise grade at the age. so the credit is being questioned, at least in sound, less than conscious and all the menu options also won't of what to end. they see a very satisfied president instead of themselves. hey, scroll, wishing side so may not have achieved his goals about the grant is the best, haven't been successful either. mind, you're a strange person brings you in the middle of the day and says, do you support president putin? you're unlikely to say no. i was you only rush s o in reg packed here at emily

sherman here with me in boston. thank you and dr. ukraine where the present, as the landscape has warned you, lead has made me brussels. that now is not the time for hop measures and hesitation as a discuss his country's future. but the prospect of a unanimous decision on continued support for keith is hanging in the balance. we have hunger, his pro rupture of prime minister standing firm. and he's opposition to a quick decision. it's elite is, has to make 2 big decisions that this meeting and they're both about ukraine. the 1st is financial support for the country. the commission has proposed a 50000000000 euro, a package to fund ukraine for the next 4 years, then base ukraine joining the blog can hear you need is have to decide on whether it's open souls on ukraine's membership. or but one of the blocks 26 leaders are

ready to say yes to both hungry as prime minister says he will be to both the lodge man, please not to see what the cause issue. lodge meant piece of metal base, legally b through a process, which has become be sure that we have set up 7 the conditions and even the by the evaluation of the commission, 3 out of the 7 is not seen. so there is no reason to negotiate membership of ukraine though you membership is important. 14, but funding is more urgent. i don't think it's for us to tell the americans to support ukraine unless we is europeans or whether it's for you, great new york city country. and i think that really has to be the outcome of the state be because we think about as the us the you, these are the 2 towers of freedom and democracy in the world. if we for to crate rights 2024 to move in on the money. i think it's crucial that we decide on this to

50000000000 records, particularly notice in the us. i think more internal politics then the vision back to craig. that's the association has to be postponed, so it's do more crucial doesn't get to a positive decision on both in the case of ukraine. we think it is a necessary sign that we support the activities of the opinions to meet or the mattress that we us them to meet that fine is whole team. but it is also intended for russia, a message to moscow that the west is most about to a band and ukraine. but henry's prime minister will have to budge a schedule for my brussels bureau chief alexandra found them and welcome uh, alexandra. so i think some of these right that ukraine has failed to meet at least 3 of a use preconditions full membership. does me have a point that it's not too early to talk about them joining?

well, 1st of all, we have to say that mr. alban statement was not completely correct to because according to the european commission that is monique during the whole process and communicate to communicating with key if it's we, we conditions are beings to work on. but to ukraine has made a lot of progress. and on the 13 condition has not been fulfilled for now. so mr. old on was exaggerating a bit. but of course he has a point by saying that not all of the pre conditions have been full fields at the same time. you also have to say that it's not about a opening exception talks with ukraine tomorrow. we expect to lead us any way to stress that all 3 conditions have to be met before opening the talk. so it is more of a symbolic gesture that we are waiting here. and at the same time, many leaders are arguing is not only about, you know,

marriage based process. it's also about sending a strong geopolitically important signal to ukraine and to russia. hungry also opposed to a new package of a you've funded a for ukraine. is that still the case? it seems so however, we have to say that mr. all button has soft and he's stance on that meta he made to be, or had point of his arrival in brussels data hungry. it's not fundamentally against providing ukraine, split, 50000000000 euros in the next 4 years steps the plan they just want doesn't they don't, they don't want to some to be part of the you budget. so there are no different scenarios how to deal with that. you leaders could agreed to establish a totally new facility for ukraine outside the badges. they could also decides to

move ahead without hungry to decides by 26 members states that they are going to continue supporting ukraine, which one national financial out, the 8 that is also possible. so a quick one then out of time to about watts that stay at the summit at stake. it's it. what's at stake here is your opinions credibility. because we heard from many, you leaders. we assuring you creating that they are fighting for european values that they will one day be part of the european family. and that is why this summits needs to deliver on this from is and it's, it's 1000 then it will undermine the you opinions credibility. ok, thank you for that day that we use that brussel bureau chief alexandra from now we'll take a look at some more headlines from around the world. now we'll start with 10 year

where the ministry says it's working to evacuate people from several regions hit by flash flooding. well, thoughts a say they also have been trying to provide a to the effect of communities. $170.00 people have died under around 600000 have been displaced a since credential a range began in november depends prime minister formula. casita has an artist, changes to his cabinet, sees ruling policy faces and extensive corruption scandal is replacing for ministers who are being investigated over fighting to decline millions of dollars in fundraising revenues. it's the, the cabinet shaking up in 16 months. us as well as defense minister has had the war against thomas in the guns that will last more than several months. you have gone to a single day's rails plans to continue its bombardments in gauze as he met with lighthouse . national security advise that jack sullivan in a ton of a is to sell event, is in israel to discuss a time table for ending the fighting. israel strongest ally the us as talked about

to israel losing international support. you should want the president to describe desta, israel indiscriminate bombing of gaza. this is riley investigates, has been sitting about an upset. how must miller since the use systematic right and gender based violence? and that october 7th attack on each mal activist who collected testimonies and digital evidence as well as a is right, the police. i've traveled to germany to raise awareness of the atrocities committed during the attack. they say how mass militants were given specific instructions to raise women active as of also criticize the failure of un bodies to recognize the magnitude of the sexual crimes committed that day. is ready. police spokeswoman at midnight been now speaking to the w. these people came with the correct and very clear instructions and to do who were fit atrocities

in the same places in this, in the different places. in the same way they got instructions. and as you can see, they came to bailey. they came to the fall as that they came to the festival, the nova party, and they did the same things and all the different places they cut off a oregon's, they burned bodies, the kidnapped from all these different places, spoke 1st and not your voice. that is on these raving women's rights campaign in the past of the civil commission of october 7th crimes, by how most against women and children at least were set up by his right. the international law and women's rights experts to draw attention to the crimes of raping sexual violence committed by hamas and not attack of welcome to dw missy. so much of what has happened since the 7th of october has been on single. but you believe that these, these gen, these gen, the base crimes with systematic and therefore deliberate. we have evidence that, uh,

especially as rarely police presented today evidence that these were well prepared to tax. and rafe was part of the m. o rate was planned. and the terrorist themselves, the ones says, are held now in israel's, i admit that rape was part of the time. i'm what evidence was produced. they, they say that they came to soil people. and when they're asked about what those sliding means, they say we needed to rate them. that was part of the, of the deal. and in order to achieve lot intimidation, the lack of respect, often times women and children are seen as the future generations. so it's also to instill fear in your enemy and to show that they have no future, no hope. that's the the aim of this attack. my i made all the heart of the events of that day. you believe it's important to to and a particular spotlight on gender based violence that was committed. yes,

indeed. we have seen women children, men are also sexually violated. the organs were removed, sexual organs were removed from both men and women and bullets were short and intimate parts so, so there was a very direct incentive to, to put to duties such a lot of violence. okay, during the attacks. so this evidence has been compiled by is riley police and a prosecution of ours is what, what do you want to happen next? well, we need international women's organization. so soon as you and women, eunice, us to recognize that it happened. one of the problems that we currently encounter is their silence. these international organizations that normally, as always, support women worldwide are suddenly complete. so the silence about the attacks.

and if they're silent, what they're saying to the world is you can deny what happened on october 7th and were saying, no, you can't deny what happened. knox of the denial is not an option. october 7th happened, and a lot of people got raped, murdered sort of mice. and if you're not acting, if you're not picking up, you're supporting the other side. you're beginning, you believe that there's, there's, there's that, there's the silence from the, the us. i'm getting motivated by what, why would they buy the assignments on an issue like that? i wish i knew that's the truth is i'm, i'm a woman's rights activist for a few years now in israel, and i've been working with those, these organizations. and i know them their colleagues, their, their, their friends in the end it's, it's a surprise that i'm completely baffled by their lack of response to these restaurants, or if it can sense. and so why is it that the,

i ask you what you want to happen next and your, your 1st response is that the, you and an international organizations need to recognize what happened or what about bringing these people that these properties us to justice. i think that's something we're the civil society. our aim is to make sure that there is awareness that we collect the evidence for the story purposes as well. the job of the prosecution, the job of criminal bodies, it is to, to prosecute most people for us. it's more and understanding of what happened on october 7th and why this war started in the 1st place. and do you believe that they should be prosecutions? i think there should be, there must be prosecutions. to what extent and by who that's not for me to on. so yeah, because if it's get interesting to to, to watch on until 2 is riley. i spoke to people, i was, i was doing so i'm face weekend and last week i'm when you say to them,

and i had one of the site, well we want to find how much we want to destroy the organization. we want to find that leaders and kill them. so there is not much room in there for bringing people to a cold tilt adjust. it says that i wouldn't know. again, i'm not a space person. the product is really government. i'm a specs person for civil rights organizations in israel and a such. all i can say is i want the truth to be told. i want to make sure that the truth is out there and like the european union, and like the german government who immediately stood by our side and said it happened. i want you and women to do the same. i want, you know, stuff that their chief goal is every child everywhere, but they can stand by silent mix to pictures that show burn bodies of babies. i don't understand i, i, it's simply beyond what's ok. thank you so much for joining us. is maybe a women's rights campaign. you're welcome to thank you. so thank you very much. i
