the, the, this is dw, use life from the end. it's been 2 years since will return to europe, along with its allies. ukraine marks the 1st day of russia. it's full scale invasion. new places of support continue bringing more how president to landscape says he's country a step and at least stroke the now the back fence and a documentary about the return of looted african art treasures takes the top awards at the berlin film festival. we'll get more of this is prize winning moves from that correspondence on the right complex the

events as well and woke up leaders of the g 7 group of nations say bill support, ukraine as long as it takes in its war against russia. it's the 2nd anniversary of the full scale invasion. to mock the some of the day western leaders joins ukrainian president, florida me, said lensky in the place where one of the 1st battles took place. the friends that greeted at the ensign of a sealed net keys on february 24th 2022 russian app on forces attack this airport at the time. many photo russia would capture keith. but after a month and a half of ukrainian or assistance to to and withdrew his forces from the area. so would you, ma'am? this is today, we are in a very symbolic place. was formerly assigned with wet boots and wanted to win the battle of proc capital. the battle of the keys with the key battle of the blitzkrieg he was planning. it keeps implement and it was heavy stuff. but his 1st

fundamental defense. when our soldiers destroyed the landing of russian motors, let me show him this on thursdays give boots. well, the latest praise do credit and for it's for assistance against it's my to neighbor . you manage to stop rush us attack towards the heart of ukraine. you save your country, you saved all of europe. and today we are here from across europe and the world to pay tribute to your bravery. just hours before lead us gather the focus on ration a deadly russian drug and attack on odessa reminded people the that the war goes on . and the significance of the timing of the assault was enough loss, the residence this happens almost every day, so it's hard to understand if it's symbolic or not reasonable, we don't know what's going to happen this evening and what we normally in the

evenings we have a tax everything is symbolic. russel of states that we're doing it out, people are dying. we want the war to end as soon as possible starts to move. we have no more strength left. you and you have a news, neither physical. what i listen, you nor mental flowers for the victims of oppression. despise promises of last thing support and this stalemate and the fighting is causing fatigue in the corner dose of power in the west. and that's the will and says it's 3rd. yeah. ukraine faces an uncertain future. they don't use cavity and it's a more i talked to general wesley clock. nato's former supreme allied commander in europe. he says, western countries need to admit it's then a note on the ukraine, who's a boat with russia. we're sending near with a general clark general jack, thank you so much for this interview. with the w. m. tell us you have overseen you

have with miss so many conflicts. and during the past years, where do you see ukraine now? what did they need strategically? well, they need more on material starting with our tory ammunition, but they also need time. they need training. they need to build their forces, develop their leadership. they need the support of the west politically, economically. militarily. they of course, also need of 16 and also um towers the german towers. today, they shortly need one range weapons they need air superiority is not a dozen f sixteens. they need several 100 modern aircraft and they need draw. not only the tourist missiles, but other ballistic missiles, they need to be able to strike deep into russia general. but one of the

arguments why germany, the united states. so your opinion are afraid of delivering this kind, especially the kind of long range weapons is that ukraine could then also reach russia and the united states of western countries would be involved in this war in a very active way. isn't that a risk? well, it certainly wouldn't be an inconvenient fact, wouldn't it? that western countries would have to recognize that russia is at war with the west . ukraine is just the victim of this is the crocodile. it wants to eat. it's victim one, leg or arm at a time. and so there is no indication really the boot and there's going to be satisfied, richard crane, who said the opposite. but would you say the priority is ukraine for western country or says, well, i think if you compare the theaters of conflict right now, i think there are 3 theaters of,

of struggle. china and asia in china is increasingly assertive. and are we certainly don't want more over taiwan, the middle east, where there's active war going on. and iran is on the verge of getting nuclear weapons that will change everything in the region. and then there's europe, where the ukraine is holding the, the wall against russian aggression, which threatens to move beyond ukraine into poland. the baltic states and uh, and no were no telling where else. donald trump has once again railed against us president joe biden, in a speech loaded with apocalyptic image rate. at the conservative political action conference in the state of maryland. trump painted a bleak picture of another binding to him, saying it would lead the us to hell. the favor for the republican presidential nomination went home to describe himself as a political dissidents. the trump is facing multiple criminal charges for his

efforts to have to turn his 2020 election to fate country. and then you have the chair and out corresponded janelle to milan is at the c pack conference, janelle, so it was more about from interesting speech that indeed as you said, it was a very fiery speech. and in true classic trunk fashion. it was also quite legacy. he spoke for more than an hour and 30 minutes, and his message was really focused around the general election, distinguishing himself from joe biden. he called the 4 years under joe biden, years of violence, of bloodshed and chaos. now of course, we know that's not true, violent crime is down around the country in cities, big and small, but if there's going to be an audience receptive to that kind of messaging, then of course it will be the audience here at cps, essentially, of the message that he was trying to get across here was that he was,

he is the only thing standing between the american people and this, the scope, univision of great american decline of unchecked illegal immigration of runaway inflation of government overreach. now the other thing that he did quite a student, like i thought, was that he tied in this concept of freedom into his candidacy, meaning a vote for trump is a vote for freed on meeting freedom from those things that i just described. but also he tied it into his own quest to remain free from prison. in this case, seeing as he is facing a $91.00 charges across 4 cases. now in terms of whether this or this really resonated the audience, i can already tell you that it did. and this is something that was clearly evidenced by the tiers that would go around the room every time he would say fire biden. good, this address affects the results of the south carolina republican primary taking place as well in terms of the south

carolina primary, it is generally thought that donald trump is set to win that primary quite handily . in most pools, he has 20 at least 20 points ahead of his opponent nikki haley. now for nicky hailey's part of for salt losing 2 trunk, but would be quite a humiliating blow for her. we are talking about her home state of south carolina, but you're going ahead of this primary. she vowed to stay in the race saying that top saying that she would at least stay in the race until super tuesday. it seems that her campaign finances are still in good shape and she really does want to keep on going. there is an argument for her staying in the sense that so i mentioned earlier, donald trump has all these legal troubles if perhaps he were to face trail time before the election, then she would be next in line. for now, however, it really does seem like today is a good day for donald trump,

whether it's in washington, d. c, or in south carolina, where he is expected to fly later today, presumably to give a victory speech after the polls close. to now great to see you in great to get the lives there on that conference. look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the us says, one of its naval destroyers is shot down an engine ship ballistic miss launched into the gulf of aiden from a hoody controlled area of human defense. officials say it was probably aimed at a fuel tank of the hoodoo. rambles campaigned targeting vessels passing through the red sea to and from israel is by the police of use water cannon to dispose of the government protest as instead of eve, calling to the removal of prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the demonstration is one of the largest since the how much the tax of october 7th and the is by the compartment of gaza, which is for the body of alexi in

a valley has been handed over to his mother, according to a spokes person for the like russian opposition later. no funeral details have been confirmed earlier this week and of all these mother said, all thirties for refusing a public ceremony, they look on you the top prize at the building international film festival. the golden bat has gone to the documentary to holy directed by my teacher. it was a joint production between the name francis said to go the field and tells the story of the return of $26.00. royal treasures which france plummeted to the name known as the king of a home in colonial times. the documentary face some stiff competition on the final night of the festival. i asked the w scott bronx but if he was a little surprised to see the army when the big price or well, it was a bit of surprise because this is a really stiff competition this year. there are a lot of very, very strong performers, both critically and sort of audience favorites going into this year's awards on.

but it's always, it's not too much of a surprise because it really is a tremendous, tremendous documentary read you up. and it's a very, a political, a documentary berlin likes to get prizes to strong political films on, but it also addresses a very, very current issue uh the, this issue of returning uh, artworks sees during colonial times to their rightful owners to the rightful nations. and that's an issue that's been a very much at the front here in, in, in germany, across europe and try as these countries try to deal with their, the legacies of the colonial pass. and the interesting about this documentary is it's, it's a very subtle exploration of this topic because even in ebony, where of the people are receiving these artifacts. there's a, a very interesting discussion going on about what they should actually mean. because uh, although they are part of their cultural heritage, they've been gone for over

a century and the country has moved on culturally and socially. so this documentary is really a delicate and intricate look at this sort of very complex question. but one that a lot of people here in germany and across europe will be aware of an interested. so in that, in that way, it's not really a surprise that take, took the top prize in berlin, talking about a complex and political topics. tell us more about the field from the palestinian territories that received and it was yes, this is no other land. it's a documentary and it is a bit surprising that it one because tonight because it's not officially in competition. it's in the panorama section, which is the sort of sidebar section of the valley and all about this the jury a selected as the best document rates in, in, in the fact the festival. and this is an interesting tool because it was made from a collective as rarely, and palestinian filmmakers and active as. and it's

a look at a small village in the west bank and the efforts of the house and the community there to resist essentially being wiped out by the israeli government is to try to encroach on on their, on their land. um and uh its uh was, um it is both a very powerful film but also quite quiet. it's a very interesting movie in that respect because it just sort of observes the day to day life of, of the people in this, in this village. and when the directors one of the prize, they of course use the platform of the valley knowledge to make political statements. say they called on the german government directly to stop the sending weapons a to israel and called for an immediate cease fire in, in the region. and that was one to just of several, a political statements about the war and guys and leave mainly pro palestinian statements made on the stage as a valid knowledge on board rocks right at the reg comforts at the building. i'll hear about it. thank you. everybody in the team here in building. thank you very

much for watching. i'm next out. tech show shift examines with 3 d printed organs. could save lines painful and see tomorrow. here on the we are all set we are watching to see the to bring you the story behind the new, the will on about com, biased information for free might say do 2 men in this special edition of conflict. we are presenting the highlights of a high level panel on the as rarely palestinian conflict which took place at this years. munich, security conference.
