the dish managing thanks for joining us. age people have been wounded in a shooting attack and there is rarely occupied. westbank is rarely police. they have to be done. men kind of know the attack. opening fire on cause yadda jewish settlement, police abuse salems shot at civilians, stuck in a traffic jam. the attack has arrived at the scene in a call with the palestinian license plate. 2 of the gunmen reported killed the incidents took place near the entrance to the monday. i'll do means supplement, east of jerusalem to do the starting cream. i has the latest from jerusalem, tanya, what more do we know at this point? well, what do we know at this point is this happened in the early morning, so this is on the highway we've been the is really settlement of mazda of the

mainland deal, divide westbank and the entrance to jerusalem at this check point. so we understand what the police has said. 3 gunman came out, went out of the cars and they started shooting at the cars, passing this a check point. so according to medical sources, one person died from the injuries that and we have 8 people, 2 of them according to the emergency services in a critical or serious conditions. the talk was carried out according to the police with automatic of weapons and uh, this gunman, uh, 2 of them were queued on the scene. search and reports that were not known to police beforehand, but they seem to be from the area of bethlehem. this is what we know so far. is that a concern about an attack such as this would impact on the overall to go to the situation in israel at the time that is brand is engaged in military operations and gaza

but of course, there's always a concern that these attacks are happening and we've seen them happening, but of course uh, you know, the main focus is of course, uh on the war in gaza on the situation there. whether you know, they're walking to texas, so coming out to him gauze at their much, much less so. but of course is always a concern that the situation that is already very times could also spin over to other parts. really leave it there for the time being. thanks so much for joining us with that update on the account as funding timeframe. i interest them a job in germany. parliament is preparing to debates the crew some next steps in its ministry support for ukraine. often nearly 2 years of war, a conflict that has complete these re shipped its own security policy long range

besides for key is one of the specific topics up for discussion today and after billions, i've been bumped into defense spending already. many see those as a watershed moment for how germany's armed forces will look for decades to come. german chancellor, a lot short on who's defense minister creating their elbows into it. you're reaching the ground on a new i munition planned earlier this month. the writing natal factory will eventually char note $200000.00, hillary shells per year, undulating efforts to run pop production. thus, as we need this other urgently, because it's hard as this reality is. we're not living in peaceful times. but yeah, many has been on a journey before a russian president vladimir pershing's invasion redlands focus was on peace offering kia, have little more than head gear, nevada phones, tablets, and tell them we will send 5000 helmets out as

a clear message that we stand by this side, i think since then they've sent bottle tanks. how it says irish t defend systems and more a know the debates is whether it will also send some of its powerful tal risk crews . marseilles rushed. his attack on you, queen, was a watershed moment and its force germans to confront some hard choice. for the boat, this means the same for the bundle is there as it goes for german society, the us, we must become patient as a war to and the government has cost off on extra $100000000000.00 euros to bring the boat in despair back to life. orders are written for new us built fighter jets . 60 come about helicopters under through air defense system fit to guard 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 decreased gradually

until re unification in the early ninety's when it fell off a cliff. no, it's not that 2 percent need to target. and this week 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 and does gemini builds its production capacity and bolsters. it's military. the question know is whether taxpayers are willing to fit the bill. and i spoke with thomas the gold, a john list on expert on security and defense policy. i asked him about germany's taurus cruise me sign and why germany is so hesitant to deliver it to ukraine. well, it's a question whether you can say drummond is so i have the tons of translate as so reluctant to, to send to taras while his coalition and members of the different colors

and parties, hugs, and leap to deliver those. the fear behind this is yvette. to tar us 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 grows misaligned that the you can't deliver the ukraine that ukraine used very effectively. that's also christmas i that's right. the, the systems are pretty similar but is still different. charles has a much longer range and it's much smaller, resisting against gps, and jamming and spoofing, so of the science for the ukrainians with taras to reach them. as for teacher to be significant goals, like historians, a cox bridge might be much higher with is

a strong web. so you said the, it's actually the john's law and not so much as his goal is and 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 way back ukraine for as long as it takes. is that a contradiction there between these 2 positions? yes, you can see a contradiction. they also have this contradiction and the wording of what is on the bait. in the bonus tag this afternoon. there is a motion by the court listen, which says the drum and the short deliver additional long range weapon systems without naming it. and if you look at what draw many cut 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 chancellor,

but still leaving opens a chance to deliver those crews miss out. now ukraine's gone to the offensive against russia 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 or? well, actually it should be the other way around, the ukraine needs the german and european support, much more m u in addition to achieve those goals on the battlefield. so you can say the 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? wealth of germany is in the midst of the 5th, from international,

the crisis management for its armed forces to think of context. i'm think molly western africa to defend out 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 drum and i mean was founded for after the 2nd world war and we leave it there for the timing, but thanks so much for joining us today, just on us. big old, thanks so much. you're welcome. a quick look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world. bush fired and southern australia has forced more than 2000 people to leave their homes. i thought of these all the evacuation from towns in the west of victoria states as a precaution official to firefighters on the ground being supported by a croft in the sky to battle the place which is roughly 50 square kilometers in

size. in china, a container ship has collided with a bridge in going to a large section of the bridge collapse, plunging several vehicles into the water. at least 2 people have died and 3 others are missing. as a thought of these and venezuela, i have said over a 1000 people were killed and many others came dried up in an accident at an indeed the gold mine emergency workers and the central state of boulevard loaded bodies into ambulances. after rescue, as very victims from the remote mind, by boat or us delegation is on a 3 day visit to taiwan to reassure the island of and support us. lawmakers said, and i quote, taiwan must remain as it stands today, a candle binding freely, fiercely. and improbably against the darkness wilkinson, the bipartisan deltacare, is coming to some of the strongest critics of china in the us congress. excuse me.

they are beating cotton's tie when he's president saying when an incoming president lighting to the visit comes of the time of increase benefee activity from china around taiwan. joining me for more details. corresponding jim's chair to from i used to shop, you know, in taiwan. james, good morning. it's a 1st time a us the integration has traveled to drive to taiwan off to the generally elections there. is that the reassuring for taiwan as well? i think some people have well, definitely viewing it in that way. this visits, of course, coming in this crucial intervening period between, as you mentioned by the election, which took place in january. and, you know, gratian of the new president scheduled for may later this year. the current government, the, the president select slicing to come from his policy and taiwan, which patients use a separate sis and refuses to communicate with. and so that is concerned in the run up to the i know gratian in may, the page you might look to ramp up, minute treat, you can only can maybe diplomatic pressure on taiwan to,

to be exact. some of it saddens. so what do you estimate because i visit this points in time, is fine sir. rich. eve is to emphasize the support for taiwan remain steadfast and that's especially the composition of this delegation. most of these will make is come from will have connections with a us house select committee, which was on the strategic conversation with the chinese communist policy known for his pretty whole kish stones on china. and so the composition won't be lost on official assessment here in taiwan. but of course engaging to and what those discussed in the meetings with our president sign when and president electrolytes and to visit some overseas delegation seems high. one usually follow up pretty well. the oil script, the discussions with leaders usually look at how partnerships can be expanded, whether that's on the economic and diplomatic funds. but i think what was potentially significant of this, potentially delegation of this delegation visits and tie one is really just the

timing of this given international context. where the on the eve of the 2nd, none of us, we have rushes and vision of ukraine. and while in russia looks to be making pretty significant gains in ukraine, a russian victory in ukraine has always been somebody in that position. the worries officials inside one because a fairy mice and golden china to take some of the minutes reaction against ty one. so that was something that was really parts of these kind of urgent discussions or minds, or really trying to make a connection between those 2 situations. one member of of the delegation course of the witness from a recent congressional hearing in the united states where he said you're calling be tough on china. and we con ukraine. and mike gallagher, who's leading this delegation, quoting from discussions with the preston, select lighting, the said that light had made to, if for some reason the ukrainians do not prevail, that will only encourage hostilities against high ones that are officials really trying to make that connection between ukraine, i'm fi one and i'm trying to emphasize the safely from the us perspective. the support for these 2 parties are really part of the same fundamental question. we

leave it there with the time being data, because it's bundled james jitter in type a thanks so much to the us now where the issue of migration is taking center stage in the run up to november's presidential elections. while the political battle lines on bunder policies between republicans and democrats, when established in washington volunteer, i was helping migrants, trying to cross the border or losing hope that there is a political will to solve the problem on the ground. the, the corresponding benjamin about his group of defaults from the us mexican border of the california boarded town of yakima hot springs 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, but it costs you them. i already are trying to, you know, because most of nicaraguans who cross will be address and address the say they will

send them back. yes, that is why we're trying our luck here, but as it will come with the law, let's say best case, tell me is that correct? because usually meant that we are here now. suffering luxury, a hill, illustrious cape with me got you on the border patrol has paused and took children and mothers with them. you know, i don't. uh, i might a, they said they would pick us up in the morning. yeah. yeah. and i sent those those the, you know, because it was, i meant they know that on my end i'm, i don't know, i'm for support. most of these belong to you as a helping them warm clothing after a rainy night and food. many had no tends to sleep and the next step is to wait for border patrol to pick them up for registration. people get stuck here. sometimes these days, usually for only for a matter of hours, but there was times and a little over them at least 6 weeks ago, were people here for 4 or 5 days in the same location. sam and his son, john 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 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 volunteers scan the area along the voted for people. the so called sun, judas, brake and gap, and the board defense used to pave the way for many migrants. so this is a 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 in 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 might and 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 are aspects of it. they just don't care anymore. i mean, look, and this has been going on for 6 months now, daddy constant and nobody with lots of top, blah, blah, blah, blah, lot to talk a lot to media attention to the talk. but you see anything change? i haven't good news with this group of new d arrived migrants after i was in the cold border patrol came to pick them up. they will be resisted and the decision will be made on whether they can stay in the us, or they will be sent back to the countries. catherine, to that ashbrook is a political on the list, but the battles mine foundation in berlin. i also told her about the lack of

political consensus in the us congress on how to attack the migration. it was actually very simple. it's because the republicans added particularly presidential candidate donald trump have discovered the keeping of the 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 outcome the november elections, but what that means is that the situation is the border will remain highly volatile, both for the people who 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 in some of the bordering states. but into the fact that i'm leaving migrant arrivals have actually gone up under the button administration when compared to the trump administration. well we have but in part because donald trump put in very strong border restrictions during the cubic period and for

a number of months to live and catch the 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 the 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, the height and 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 field is to be a very acute crisis. and now you have reports that present 5 minutes considering using his executive opponents to deny some migrants asylum claims. has he begun to treat this mode as a political problem rather than not to mandatory on one to well,

that's absolutely seeming to be the case. we are heading toward a very hot phase 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 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. and we were talking about donald trump, but donald trump has both migration at the center of this presidential campaign. hasn't the because now that out of both of these 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 detention cancer. and of course, for mentioned around the world that will trigger image read with historical significance and fits into his everhart, carson and rhetoric. but this, 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's truly a radical on these issues. we're very frightening ideas. leave it there for the time being by thanks so much for joining us today. i kept thinking of aspect from that, but this month on vision. thank you so much. my pleasure are now

does something entirely different? a change of space if you like, news about the berlin international film festival, also known as the by the nala. it has a reputation for being the most political of the a list for the festival. so it was no big surprise of the current situation in the middle east is playing a leading role of this year. as for make us summit one big talking point is a documentary. no other land, a field collaboratively directed by an is very jewish john list. and a by listing an activist and for the make up an adult lives in the west bank and the village of mass. if i yet todd south of hebron. 6 a feeling of helplessness and anger is what initially led him to film is really is actions against his village on his cell phone with the tv, the, the films, evictions which caused outrage wells wide protesting houses. even schools are

destroyed, the camera that comes his weapon with a substitute and difficulty was not easy. first of all, you faced with us a lot of jobs from the soldiers and then sent them to them. i said that it's the only 2 that came out to have left within the world. what's happening is riley, generally you vote is always by his side. the friendship develops the cost of oh, the conflicts and differences what the both of those stories is not just different. so you, if you know a joyce know is our understanding our shared values that we think that we see me. what if you need to and you can face it needs to end and we are willing to fight for it together? well that's future. depending on it is promoting off screen dialogue to so tiny space of project started by jim and palestinian. ask about fox news and jewish

german shy huffman, a safe space for discussions about the israel palestine conflict. the thing on you, we want to create a relatively small, tiny space, a tiny house where you can talk very intimately and personally about your feelings about this. wong to place and come to the development of what we need spaces for the dialogue spaces for togetherness space is that also breaks the logic of violence. it's the task of civil society to at least show alternatives. we can offer opportunities for dialogue, at least on a small scale. i think the tiny house wants to get the visitors talking about the middle east, call conflict 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 footage buzz you and you both put together under the most difficult circumstances. before

we indicated this in a case, somebody at the most of the window armies entering and stealing the computers and beating muscles. and really that i feel patient is when such a new file impacts you side by side at the word premier of a film, they thought how to complete receiving innovation for the coverage and, and in these days of division, rat openness. and the quick reminder of the top stories we are following for you age. people have been wounded in the shooting attack and there is rarely occupied. westbank is very police say the government kind of the attack opening fire on cause and you know that you were 2nd month 2 of the gunmen was killed at the scene east of jerusalem. and to germany's ball, i'm going to is assessing it submitted created for you pray and including long range resides as extensive as its defense and to go through policy. today's debate takes place almost exactly 2 years on from restaurants, full scale invasion, multi print, the f. 2,

a news drops off next. we have punched in so in for you with tim sebastian interviewing the head of this tony as intelligence service. that's after the break . and don't forget you can get more news on our website. that's d, w dot com. i'm british pound is invalid the, the, the

enter the conflict zone with the best in here at the munich security conference. because okay, so being a bad russian intentions on russian brands positively for a well with light cove, in the years to come, we caught up with the head of as sony and then try to do is count by voice in austin parties expectations off for nato. it does not come next on the dw, truly treated by western european patients,

all the gnome and medical textbooks. does that lead to discrimination against people of color in medicine? does it result in false diagnoses? and more complications is the racism in medicine in 45 minutes on d w. the news. this time, excel gen this chimed in. dar meets the voice of as free touches also as the other one had to flee into exile too. i knew the police would search my house. courageous people are trying to stem the turkish governments and sort of pools of gibs. but only if the crime is addressed and the public trying to take

responsibility for his actions. guardians of trees, stock march 2nd on d, w. here at the munich security conference, that's all cause of being about russian intentions and russian brands possibly for a well with later in the years to come, we caught up with the head of estonian intelligence, count by voice in his service has been putting out many of the reports that are being discussed there, and we asked him a few of the questions about where the intelligence came from. and what is the expectations off for nato to do about as the source. so your intelligence service is the source of many of the worries that it'd be mixed.
