the, the, this is the, the news life from berlin getting fits full wall. germany take stock of its weapons and how it can help ukraine. 10, yeah. is up to russia, annexed by mia antonio's on, from the full scale invasion. also coming up in gaza. walter is in short supply an aid organizations. a warning of an impending catastrophe and the by the administrator should month to defuse the crisis along the us southern folder. so why do want them to, as they say they're working with 0 comments, support the
8:01 am
i'm been expanded, you welcome. the german parliament is preparing to debate the crucial next steps and its benefits support for ukraine. often nearly 2 years of war, a conflict that has conflicting the shape its own security policy. long range besides for key is one of the specific topics up for discussion today, and often billions had been pumped into defense spending. already many see these as a watershed moment for how germany's force has been. look for decades to come. the german chancellor or left saws and his defense minister, putting their elbows into it, tia breaking the ground on a new munition plant. earlier this month. the vine montage factory will eventually turn out $200000.00, not tillery sales per yeah. underlining efforts to ramp up production does,
8:02 am
is we need this other urgently because it's hard is this reality is we're not living in peaceful times. germany has to be on a journey before russian president vladimir poor teams. invasion balance focus was on peace offering kids little more than head gear, nevada phones tell us and tell them we will send 5000 helmets out as a clear message that we stand by this side. i the since then germany has sent back old tags. how it says iris t defense systems and more. the big debate now is whether it will also send some of its possible taurus crews. marseilles rushes attack on ukraine was a watershed moment. and it's false germans to confront some hot troops. 51. this means the same for the bonus. there's adults, for durham and societies, we must become patient before war. tuesday's van. the government has cost up an
8:03 am
extra 100000000000 euros to bring the boat and display it back to life. or does a rating for new us build fight to jets? 60 come. but helicopters and a full air defense system fit to god. the skies of your defense spending is growing again. at the height of the cold war, west german spend up to 5 percent of gdp on security. that decrease gradually until reunification in the early ninety's when it's fell off a cliff. now it's at that 2 percent they told target. and a few days ago, the defense minister signaled there was room to grow was the development of the industry. what i mentioned to that all has to fit together and then we might reach 3 percent or maybe even $3.00. it depends what's happening in the world. but since germany bills it's production capacity and boss does it's military. the question now is where the tax payers are willing to for the bill. for more,
8:04 am
let's go to john list a thomas we go, who's also an expert on security and defense policy. good morning, thomas. the debate around the weapons supplies from germany is coming to centered around the taurus cruise. miss sign, why is germany so hesitant to deliver it? well, it's a question whether you can say drummond is so i have the tons of translate is so reluctant to, to send to taras while his coalition and members of the different coalition parties, hugs and li, pressing to deliver those. the fear behind this is yvette taras as a long range weapon system might reach areas in rush proper. and that sort of thing . the chancellor urgently wants to avoid it. but then how does that defer to say, for example, the storm shadow crews misaligned that the you can't deliver the ukraine that
8:05 am
ukraine used very effectively. that's also christmas. while that's right. the systems are pretty similar but is still different. charles has a much longer range and it's much smaller resisting against g, p as in jamming and spoofing. so of the child's father, ukrainians was a tall rose to reach as strategically significant goals like this towards a cox bridge might be much higher with is a strong web. so you say that the, it's actually the john's law and not so much as his goal isn't bought, knows who is hesitant to deliver. this may assign to the ukrainians at the same time, the same jobs that keeps repeating the germany with back ukraine for as long as it takes. is that a contradiction there between these 2 positions to yes, you can see a contradiction there. you also have this contradiction and the wording of
8:06 am
a what is on the bait and the bonus tag this afternoon. there is a motion by the court listen, which says the drum and the show deliver additional long range weapon systems without naming it. and if you look at what the drum of the could deliver, the only long range weapon system is atara. so there remains this contradiction. and this is a carefully converting which is not to damage the chance love, but still leaving opens a chance to deliver those crews miss out. now, ukraine's counted offensive or against a rush or hasn't really gone to plan. does ukraine you think needs to need to show us some progress on the battlefield if it wants to continue relying on german support? well, actually it should be the other way around. the ukraine needs the german and european support, much more m u. addition to achieve those goals on the battlefield. so you can
8:07 am
say ukraine has to deliver 1st and then we'll get munition. it's just the other way around. tell me what this means of this war means for germany itself. i mean, germany has announced an increase in defense spending more could potentially be coming. what does this mean for german defense and strategic policy? a wealth of germany, it is in the midst of the 5th, from international, the crisis management for its armed forces to think of cons, done, think molly western africa to defend of the country and mostly defends of the natal territory. so this is a process which is ongoing, which will take some time, but it's in a way going back to the route. so what the drummond army was founded for after the 2nd world war? i'm gonna leave it there for the timing,
8:08 am
but thanks so much for joining us today. douglas, thomas big old. thanks so much. you're welcome to news about the war between isabel and her mazda next. in the south of the gaza strip over to 1000000 displaced palestinians struggling to access even the basic needs for survival. in the city of rough uh, one of the biggest concerns is walter. the lack of faith is helping the spread of disease and there is no sign of relief of the a frantic daily routine in rafa. fetching clean water. suddenly, my son is small and needs walter. i bring him see what was there, but he refuses it. were unable to wash, we don't have clean clothes. there's no water, there is no food. the rest of the world has food for this situation here is dire. we need water to live with that water. there is no life in the

8:11 am
a storm weak global demand. the joe political on ease and sticky inflation have hampered and anticipated recovery from recession and, and it's little groups report. berlin has drastically thoughtful costs to just point 2 percent growth piece. yeah. household appliance manufacturer, me look, forwarding cologne, department store, chain galleria, and the cargo division of georgia. bon, all have something in common. they bought in as plans today of thousands of employees due to the week economy. these companies are struggling with high energy prices, weaker to mind, high labor costs and excessive bureaucracy. the government had expected the economy to grow by 1.3 percent this year. now it expects to 0.2 percent growth. detroit stronger the situation is changing, extremely challenging. we need to do more. we need to come up with major reforms to
8:12 am
maintain and strengthen germany's competitiveness in a completely changed global environment. and in germany's g d. p growth is at the bottom among industrialized nations. these are the opposition is calling for an immediate economic program focusing on reducing corporate taxes in red tape. otherwise they say germany risk becoming the sick amount of europe once again. in the united states, the issue of migration is taking center stage in the run up to november as presidential elections while political lines on board of policies between republicans and democrats. when established in washington, voluntarily helping migrants trying to cross the border, losing hope that there is a political will to solve the problem on the ground. the, the corresponding benjamin about his group out of bolts from the us mexican border to the california board. a town of yakima hot springs
8:13 am
has become a flash point for migration. thousands of people have crossed into the united states here in recent months. many of them from latin america that will come forward at the low book a custom way already. we're trying it to, you know, because most of nicaragua is who cross will be address and address. they said they will send them back. yes, that is why we are trying our luck here. what is, who will come with zillow? and what's your best guess? tell me that are going to be meant that we are here now. suffering luxury, a hill latrice cape with me that you and i bought a patrol has paused and took children and mothers with them. you know, i don't. uh uh, and i might a, they said they would pick us up in the morning a nice and don't says they don't cause i meant they know that they don't my enemies . oh i'm for support. most of these belong to you is a helping them warm clothing after a rainy night and food, many had no tens to sleep in. the next step is to wait for border patrol to pick them up for registration. people get stuck here. sometimes these days, usually for
8:14 am
a long way, for a matter of hours, but there was times in a little over at least 6 weeks ago, where people here for 4 or 5 days in the same location. sam and his son john, a locals, along with other volunteers that have been taking care of newly arrived migrants for months. it leaves me very disappointed. it's and quite frankly, kind of absurd that uh my family and uh, just a group of regular volunteers are filling in this role. it should be done by the us government. there should be the red cross out here. there should be many different organizations, but that's just not here. daily. the volunteer scan, the area along the voted for people, the so called son judah, sprague, and gap. and the boy defends, used to pave the way for many migrants. so this is uh, transit camp that was set up by the mexican national guard that was designed to hold any migrants that come through this gap over here. prior to this establishment, we would see smugglers bringing people through non stop throughout the day. and
8:15 am
cars driving up and down the stirred road over there. they would pack sometimes up to 12 people in a single small you see the volunteers say the strategy of detouring migrant stuff. not work because they will just search for other gaps as the legal ways of entry a limited sam and john don't get financial support from the authorities. they are disappointed not just with washington. it's almost like they have given up on the, on the visual p. r. aspects of it, they just don't care anymore. i mean look, and this has been going on for 6 months now. debbie constant and nobody with lots of top, blah, blah, blah, blah, lot the talk a lot the media attention to the talk. but you see anything change? i haven't good news for this group of new to arrive migrants after i was in the cold border patrol came to pick them up. they will be resisted
8:16 am
and the decision will be made on whether they can stay in the us, or they will be sent back to the countries. or from all of this, i'm joined by catherine cube, ashbrook. she is a political on the list of the battles mon foundation. think time in berlin. monte catherine, president biden has tried, failed to get congress deposit a bill to tackle the migration crisis of the us southern border. why it has bipartisan consensus? been so hard to reach well, it's actually very simple. it's because the republicans added particularly presidential candidate donald trump have discovered the keeping of southern border in secure keeps it front of mind for voters and the fact that this is a wedge issue in american politics. could give or so the republicans believe them or not you upcoming the november elections. but what that means is that the situation of the border will remain highly follow tile. and both for the people who
8:17 am
are trying to cross it and for law enforcement who are trying to get some clear regulations on how to behave at the border and then some of the border in states. but into the fact that um, i'm leaving migrant arrivals have actually gone up under the button administration and compared to the trump administration as well. we have. but in part because donald trump put in very strong border restrictions during the cobit period and for a number of months to live and catch those border restrictions in place. and then ease them as would fall in line with some general believes of the democratic party on expanding and strengthening rights to asylum. but now of course, the situation has become so dire. we had in december 249000 attempted crossings, but the discussion of political discussion has already uh, changed migrant minds quote unquote, we saw a significant drop by 50 percent, including based on the border fortifications. and of course,
8:18 am
the heightened political tensions in the united states. so the message seems to be getting through to those would be migrants or asylum seekers at the us border, but still many cities and particularly in the united states, feel this to be a very acute crisis. and now you have reports that present 5 minutes considering using his executive apology to deny some migrant asylum claims. has he begun to treat this more as a political problem rather than not to mandatory on one to well, that's absolutely seeming to be the case. uh, we are heading toward a very hot face in the us primary election. and what he doesn't want to do is have donald trump take this wedge issue and put it front and center as if he were negligent to a problem that the republicans are, are framing as the most dire national security issue. we saw senior republican lawmakers not come to the munich security conference because they made the argument that the real national security issue was at the texas border and went there to see
8:19 am
that so by and wants to be seen to be taking a stronger line. he does not want to close the border, but of course he's going to face backlash within the democratic party, particularly the left wing of the democratic party. so those plans are by no means set, but the idea is that there would be a asylum restrictions to a certain degree and for certain people. but how that's actually going to work out and how when that might be put in place at this point, at least it's still entirely unclear. we were talking about donald trump, but donald trump has put migration at the center of this presidential campaign, hasn't the because now the falsities have to be considering building most detention camps if elected. he has and that has been an issue that was an issue during his 1st presidential administration. so despite the fact that the language around detention and not only detention deportation can, so you want to use military helicopters to the porch, people from the tension cans. and of course, for mentions around the world that will trigger image read with historical
8:20 am
significance and fits into his everhart, carson and rhetoric. but this, the, at the same time, these are things that he was considering in his 1st administration with the help, quote unquote of his most senior advisers, steven miller, who is truly a radical on these issues with very frightening ideas and leave it there for the time being the thanks so much for joining us to the cap sensitive aspect from that bucks month on vision. thank you so much. my pleasure to do india and export classes between police and protesting farmers have left one for the best. and then the incident occurred in punjab state as follows, press the demands for government assistance, police deny having a role in demand staff. the protesting farmers have paused their mazda and the company that they offer. the government made an offer of new negotiations. the board of the 2 engine speeds had gone up and been job, looked like a becky ground. with these drones fight their gas to disperse,

opportunities for dialogue, at least on a small scale. i think the tiny house wants to get the visitors talking about the middle east conflict to, to king listening. at least it would be a starch in no other land. it is this understanding across the divide that connects people. the documentary film is made from the frontier to buzz you and to vote put together under the most difficult circumstances. before we educated this in a case, somebody at the most of the field went armies entering and stealing the computers and beating lessons. and really that i feel patient as well, such as you 5 and fast you side by side at the word from you, the film, the foot hall to complete receiving innovation for the coverage. and then in these days, if division rat openness. so that's the news, right? before the time being but coming up next off, the break focus on your photos,
