sierra kelly. welcome to the program. pressure is building on germany to step up its military support for ukraine. a broad coalition of lawmakers is calling for the german government to deliver a long range missiles to reframe german politicians are bathing their next commitment on the 10 year anniversary of russia's annexation of crime. be up until now the government has lots deliveries of tourist missiles on the grounds that they could be used to stripe targets deep inside russian territory. after billions have been pumped into defense spending already. many also see this as a watershed moment for how germany's armed forces will look for decades to come. german chancellor, all off short on his defense minister preaching their elbows into it. you're reaching the ground on a new i munition plant earlier this month to the right natal site. we will eventually char note $200000.00 dot hilary shells per year under lightning efforts

to run pop production. just 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 islands. focus was on peace offering kia little more than head gear, nevada phones, 1010. we will send 5000 helmets out as a clear message that we stand by the side. i the 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 mess. sales russians attack on you claim was a watershed moment and it's forced germans to confront some hard choice for people. this means the same for the bundle. there's adults for german society, the us. we must become patient as

a walk through. the government has cost off on extra 100000000000 euros to bring the burden this fab 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 germans spend up to 5 percent of gdp on security that decrease 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 does gemini builds its production capacity and bolsters. it's military. the question know is whether tax payers are

willing to fit the bill? earlier i spoke with our chief political correspondent, you know, has a asking her what's on the agenda in the german parliament. yes, this is an intense good discussion today. it's almost 2 years to the day the russell launched its full scale invasion of ukraine. but of course, we also mustn't forget that 10 years ago russia illegally and next the black sea peninsula of crime. yeah. and there is a lot of reckoning here as well that to him, the imperialist ambitions of russian president vladimir putin, wherever underestimated by germany. there is a lot of support here by members of parliament for continued support for ukraine and its defense against russian aggression, members of parliament, especially from the government of course, and discussing how germany has become one of the most important supporters of ukraine financially speaking. and then number 2 off to the us and,

but what it really comes down to today is that question of should germany deliver those long range taurus, cruise missile systems, to ukraine, or shouldn't that? that's a weapon system that ukraine has asked for since last year. and the position want the german chancellor to give his green light to that weapons delivery. and bunch of the government apologies are bit more reluctant. why has schultz been so reluctant? why the hesitation? what is it about this particular method? the taurus cruise? that's why it's considered a state of the art, a cruise missile system that has a range of about 500 kilometers. it can fly really low, it can be not easily be detected by the enemy. so ukraine really says a one stop weapon system so that it can hit and russian military logistics, russian military targets behind the front lines. and he says to be stopped for us or advancing a germany does have that weapon system,

but the chancellor is reluctant. he says with a range of, of some 500 kilometers. that weapon system could also end up on russian territory. now that is why he's taking this decision very, very slowly. his mulling at catholic he doesn't want to go it alone either. but what's interesting today is normally is the other way around that the jump in terms of wants to do something and get spawn wins approval. today's the other way around, essentially the german going to start will give the german chancellor that green light and say if you want to deliver the tourist cruise missile system to ukraine, then we would have your back, you know, has a in berlin. thank you. and here are some other stories making headlines, as one person is adding of the 7 more wounded. following an attack that a check point of view is rarely occupied. westbank police say that palestinian gunmen opened fire on motorists who were stuck in a traffic jam. 2 of the attackers were killed. 3rd

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 sand, 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 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 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. is the berlin international film festival known as the berlin allah has a reputation for being the most political of the a list film festivals. so it's no big surprise. but the current situation in the middle east is playing a leading role at this year's filmmaker summit. one big talking point is the
