the, the, this is dw news lives from the land, german trump, so that will not show us the rules out sending west and ground troops to ukraine, enjoying several european leaders in down, playing the idea off the french president and menu, and my call signal european and nato troops could be needed to fight russia, also coming up on the hopes for a faithful and gaza us president joe biden says he thinks the deal's between israel and hamas can be reached by next week in time for the muslim holy month of ramadan . and sentence to life behind bars, the head of a violent drug cartel in the netherlands is found guilty in a high profile, not

a trial, the hello. there are many of hoops mccain, and it's good to have you with us. european leaders have been walking back suggestions by the french president and money. what am i call that european ground troops could be deployed in ukraine at a conference of european leaders back in ukraine. my call said quote, nothing could be ruled out. now the kremlin has worn but sending west and ground troops would mock a dangerous escalation. the german trump slot will affiliates is down playing the i to be on the tuesday, october this good kid we obviously discuss, squeezed, to arrange for the support of this type of data by it's not enough for a very good debate. we decided that what was agreed from the outset desktop also apply as to the future on the, on the,

on the done on that's has to be at least 5 minutes. namely that there will be no ground troops just as kind to know soldiers on ukrainian, sorry to stop and i'll send there. but europe and countries that or need those dates and start from the from not the stop and alternative. sick patton has got more on this from the w as chief political edison. me tell you like us now because you know, we just had the german chancellor that really contradicting the french president suggestion of european ground forces in ukraine. it looks more of a contradiction then it necessarily is because what we didn't hear, the french president say is that he was committed to actually sending troops. he just refuses to rule anything out. and if anything that highlights a very different outlook on security, on strategic security communication, the front idea, which is also a nuclear power, is one of

a strategic acuity at to leave the other side guessing. and clearly, what jim and tom's the salt is building on in what he sees as a way to avoid any escalation, is to create a certainty in a way, a commitment towards the process guaranteeing that a german troops would certainly not become part of this conflict. so it's 2 european leaders who aren't necessarily pledging anything different at this moment in time, but you have one refusing to rule out ground troops and the other one seeing this as a basis to create potential de escalation that is determined tanza by saying there won't be any german troops under any circumstances in ukraine? okay, now ukraine is of cool saying that it desperately needs more west and support and it's fights against russia. and yet the german trunk list said this week that germany wouldn't be sending taurus messiahs to ukraine. can you remind us why he

doesn't want to do that? well, tours a high tech long range missiles, and that's the concern. and on the drum and side that they could be used on russian territory. we are seeing similar results, although not quite as powerful being sent by person and by fonts and the same results. so for the 1st time went public yesterday, indicating that controlling the targets of those missiles requires involvement of those countries who are supplying the solves and that's something the government's honda has fully ruled out and he sees himself into with a german public that let's take a listen, besides it a 100, but i don't think much of it at all this footage. i think he must have gone completely crazy even say that and to even consider such a thing to see goods that's basically i want the word and as soon as possible and

it means that there is a negotiation should take place. this is that's my conviction. and it remains my conviction, the very, very difficult position. and for germany in particular, i think it's historical and incredibly, incredibly high. it's really tough. i really don't have any opinion at the moment to, to a surprising to me because it might also mean a new key and was so i think it's a very difficult decision, but i also really liked the support to create and yeah, so for his, at the moment, that's my station dish. i don't want that. i simply don't want it. of course, like everyone else, i want the word and i know it's very difficult. i didn't muscle gwen who definitely should have been. and like i said, some opinions left from people here in berlin. really sort of showing how complex this is. would you say, be sure to let the people here in germany all feeling increasingly anxious about

the growing possibility of being dropped into this full. but i wouldn't say that people are to be consigned, but they certainly don't want me to become a policy in this. and this is what the government's on. so it keeps value repeatedly. we're also seeing polling that upwards of 2 thirds of demons are concerned that germany could get more involved, get dragged into conflict. it doesn't want and at the same time, there is great support for supporting ukraine. but clearly the red line that the tonsil is drawing very publicly and politically at this moment in time is very much in tune with what time and expect from the germans, hans. that who otherwise is actually she was the unpopular with a complete know of a round, 20 percent only being satisfied with his performance. it's also worth noting that this is a very different pick to, from the baltic states who are fearing an acute threat from vasa. so geography,

definitely masses here, and the big question is what say or full european support will have in the future, particularly with do bite and having about to support ukraine as long as he can no longer as long as it takes me. sure. a lot. thank you so much for that. that's the w's chief for the school at this time because are now terabyte in the us. president says that he is hurtful a ceasefire. a deal for garza can be reached by next week and i talked to happening in could tell him right now. the aim is to secure a pause in the facing and exchange for the release of is riley hostages, who were taken during the hum us terror attacks. on october. the 7th speaking to reporters in new york, president bite and said that an agreement was within reach. well, i hope by the week after the end of the week, my, my not security advisor tells me that we're close because it's not done yet. my

hope is why next monday we'll have bought a home us official speaking to the reuters news agency says biden's comments don't match the situation on the ground. he said there was still gaps that needs to be bridge before a ceasefire. agreement can be reached. israel says any less self in the slicing will only be temporary and the ground operations and rough uh, are the only way to eliminate almost flights is from suspected positions. then there's really military has reportedly shown israel's will cabinet. it's planned for evacuating civilians from combat to areas, but no details have been released on with those displays. people could actually go these women and children are among the victims. 2 after and is really or strikes to the building in southern garza,

some survivors are still looking for their loved ones. they were targeted with a miss, so there was a huge explosion on the building collapsed. we would cover people including women and a child who was 7 years old, and they're also injured. people including my sons, of israel has been carrying out their strikes and ralph off for weeks. despite some 1400000 palestinians seeking safety in the city. israel says it's ground invasion, a for alpha is inevitable. it's convinced him us leaders are hiding there and that it's necessary to push in to ruffle, to achieve at school, of eliminating the group. but international organizations, warren, such an advance would have catastrophic implications for civilians. there all the is valuable fillasy from the city would not only be terrifying for more than

a 1000000 policy. you know, civilian shopping there. you to put the final nail in the coffin of all would age programs a according to u. n. speakers, the amount of a delivered in recent weeks has decreased mainly due to the regular closures of crossing points and military operations. the drop in aid comes amid a deepening hunger crisis across the territory. and i met in the unless i'm supposed to have milk as a newborn beef, natural milk or formula. but i wasn't able to get to milk because there's no built in gaza. and the circumstances are tough. there's no milk and no food and gaza that he and i can forward and parachuted much needed supplies into gaza on monday. but many, if you're the 8 system could collapse entirely. it is rarely ground troops entered last limited refuge for palestinians in garza. i'm at least analis shown here as

honest as here in this to do with me. hi. hi sony. so sony, um, we're seeing quite a lot of movement here on we in terms of sort of talk about the ceasefire. um, but there are lots of details still in the air on that. there aren't many. and here the guitar is just talking this morning saying there's nothing that's been finalized. yes. between moss and israel, we know that at her mom's spokesperson also said there's too many gaps that need to be bridge. and one of the key issues is how do we even, what is it on the table? if we're talking about a ceasefire, a truce, but most demands a stop to fight and you wants israel to come and make a commitment that it's not going to resume a ground operation of god. so something is real is refusing to do so. this is still a very much the heart of the matter and still disputed. and of course, there's all the back and forth in regards to how many prisoners will be released in exchange for how many off hostages. these are more of the minor details,

but still is a lot still to be worked through. okay. and meanwhile, israel, it seems absolutely intent on stick a and at to it's planned start this sort of full scale offensive and ross that despite the, you know, the grow and chorus of international criticism. well, is there a wants to be seen like that at least you don't want it to now it's important to send that message. so the idea is ready and can go on and into the next phase of the ground operation, meaning going into off because he feels that that's only leverage if he wants to get anything for the how much to agree to concessions. he feel like a rough is the one thing that he has to, that he can use. and therefore he tries to portray this, this image of this is what we're doing next. we know, however, the, technically, there's still many stages to be before that is even possible. there's no more than $1000000.00 palestinians who found refuge in gaza from all other parts of of the gaza strip and they need to be evicted. this is something his role is committed to . so that would be the 1st step. before anything else happens, paint shawnee stay with us for just

a moment because we're going to get an update on rossa now with slicing so close to the egyptian border, it is testing israel's friendly relations with its neighbor. i take a look right on the border with egypt, so it's rafa, it's crammed with around 1400000 people, many displaced from other parts of the gods. a strip of conditions there are dire with shortages of food and water. egypt has warned against them as rarely grind defensive. they're saying it would result in more civilian casualties. a pdf says has peaceful relations with israel since a peace treaty was signed between the 2 countries in 1979 our club, but a gypsy and president bill thought to of the c. c has been a vocal in his condemnation of israel is operations in its war against thomas that as with display scoggins, having nowhere else to go,

it could lead to intense pressure on them to escape the enclave into egypt. cyanide peninsula, a situation cairo once to avoid egypt along with several other arab countries. fair israel wouldn't allow them to return onto the terms of the 1979 peace treaty the cyanide peninsula. and the guys that border are 18 militarized zone. since the october 7th attacks, egypt has been beefing of border security with more troops of the gods of frontier with his riley consent. egypt also appears to be building 8 fortified area there. cairo has for the past decade already being creating a massive buffer zone as part of it security, coordination with these rail. part of that has been the destruction of tunnels from its territory into gaza, which were used for smuggling. another issue testing relations between the 2

countries is a narrow demilitarised strip of land that separates egypt and gaza, known as the philadelphia car door. a suggestion by is really prime minister, been, you mean it's in yahoo that he wanted israel to take control of the car door, has angered cairo as this elusive months lease is up the most despite the current tens of relations between egypt and israel. any attempt by cairo to walk away from its peace accord with these rail could prove very costly. egypt economy is struggling and it would risk losing the billions of dollars of usaid it receives as part of the 1979. 3 g. m. at least analysts shawnee or is on this is still here with me. shawnee tell us. what is it that makes rough us so important? especially for egypt overall f i is a city that is divided for many years. the majority of which is in to a policy and part of goes out and part of it is and is in egypt and for the egyptian president, right from the start. this was the red line here. you know,

there's a big crossing of the border there. and any breach up into a different territory that's, that's a red line that the, the president has side of the see present us. and he's not willing to, to see happening. there's a figure that it means that the term, you know, it, knowing this region and the dynamics and it's anything that is temporary, can end up very much being, you know, a permanent solution for the pals. the in the problem with just something the addiction to not want to see happening cuz they were afraid that would be, you know, a clearing optimist for israel instead of, of israel itself. we know that the tensions are so high that that is really a head of the military and the head of the she met the secret service, have made it to egypt last week to ease up tensions and assure the, the addictions that there is not going to be as far as, as well, is concerned at trying to push palestinians refugees into egypt is nothing that they are planning on or, or at least not anything that they're going to be intentionally pursuing. because we know that ramadan, the muslim holy month is just weeks away. now,

what role does ramadan play here? i mean, as you know, israel is when it's options and it's war against thomas west to go next. how important is from a to in these calculations? what very much you mean officially talk to meant to now you talk to other people in his cabinet. they say, you know, we're not gonna, we're going to disregard ramadan because we were attacked on october 7th and i'll or holy days. so the homeless itself as shown 0 respect to religious needs. however, when we talk about rachel politic, if we're talking about this region, we're talking about other fronts that israel is dealing with. what it comes to is really arabs within is really territory for talking about the west bank. it's clear that fighting through ramadan will be crossing some sort of a line and a very delicate balance that is there and my bring is more problems. of course, the international community is against that, and so the americans right from the get go, is this round of talks setup problem and on as a deadline, hoping it will help all sides to some of the escalate. come down and, and see that as, as it as a beginning of, of entering

a new phase of the escalation. and some, some relief to this terrible try to do, to proceed unfolding and gaza every day. w, middle east. unless you on the result of this, i mean that much money and here's a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. a quotes in moscow has sentenced a veteran, human rights activist to 2 and a half years in prison. all like, all of was convicted of repeatedly discrediting the russian all me off the he had spoken out against the russian invasion of ukraine. 70 year old is co chapman of the nobel peace prize winning rights group. memorial hungry is paula montez approved sweden's bed to join nato, removing the last obstacle to sweden's membership of the west and defense alliance . after almost 2 years of delays on gary and little make, his overwhelmingly approved the bel enabling sweden. succession hungry was the last of nature. shows to see one member states to rectify the swedish membership and

poland. psalm is have blocked the ukrainian polish border, crossing near the city of mid decals, that protesting against your opinion, regulations and sheep food inputs from ukraine. this means that several ukrainian trucks and now stuff at the border like tunnel into poland. and impact is done from the prime minister and run con and his wife has been indicted on another corruption charge. they were alleged to receive bribes, while khan was in office. 71 year old has already been convicted on other challenges and has been in jail since august despite this is the forces came out until in recent general electric now, as we just had thousands of farmers have pro tested in the polish capital, sol against what they say is unfair competition from ukraine, a safe seat ukrainian in ports of staple foods, including ciocca gray,

and eggs off threatening their livelihoods. they're also unhappy with the your opinions, environmental standards and regulations. flashes broke out between police and saw them is that the purchase dw correspondent christine one is covering the process for us from the post capital will storage told us more about what's happening. the sl annual. we've come a head of the crowd a little bit because just a few 100 meters behind me. a huge crowd of farm is demonstrate, is protest is will come pull us down this road and they're heading that direction to the prime minister's office. and that is where they wants to present a list of their demands that you're reporting about minus scuffles. absolutely. but this has largely been very noisy, but a peaceful demonstration. despite those minus scuffles you have people are full throwing objects, fireworks, etc. they really want to be heard here today, but it's about taking that message to the prime minister's office to the government offices. a lot of the people you see in these crowds have traveled,

hundreds of columbus is to be and will sold this morning to take a message that the situation for them is very difficult at. their posters are also talking to the people living in the cities, making people understand that we are the people who produce the food. you're using the conditions on it for us. and we, we want you to understand our plights and, and just remind us again, warsaw, the, the, the farm is asking for exactly. so on. yeah, the, the list of grievances is long. yeah. but it really comes down to the e. u. a greenville carbon emissions, cutting a sort of directives. yeah. and so is that just means that layers of bureaucracy have been adding to added to, to what the farm is do here. so that is one to concern. the other issue is the amount of ukrainian agri products that are making their way into poland and other e u countries that has had an impact on prices. so local produce has gone down. so

what farms are saying is the value of how produce has reduced at the same time, the cost of living is going up and i have to point out that the produced from the ukraine in a country does not necessarily is not subject to the e. u. stand, it's that that's publish, farm is have to adhere to, so you have a concern. now if i put you promise to say we produce at a higher cost, and now you've got products from ukraine that are much cheaper and that is reducing the value of what we do. there is concern here though i have to point out about the timing of these demonstrations. thousands of farmers have come to the polish capital today. people are questioning the timing of all of this and, and what is really agitating this movement. you will note that this has been a long standing issue wheeler and also just about a year ago in the the ukranian president for the, for let them use it in steve was visiting this was an issue then with the previous government. but people are questioning the timing. there are, there was a local or written the they are all local regional elections happening here in april. you also have the european election happening in june. and there is the

feeling that the it has been infiltrated to it and you want the government to say that you have some extremist groups that have infiltrated this process. hence, you will start even seeing the sort of n t, e, you very sort of inflamed language, the kind of legs that people are surprised is coming from pony farm is who have lots you benefit from you finding subsidies. so there are questions about what is really a play and certainly some concerns and rushing propaganda might have infiltrated. does these process as well? christine, just briefly, all government officials, listening to the farm is absolutely. i spoke to the deputy agriculture minister here and you're in poland this morning. uh right now there are talks between teeth and will so, and that is to say that at least on the part of poland, they are trying to get the ukrainians to agree to some kind of a quote to end a tear of system on the projects that comes into poland from ukraine. that's

something that the ukrainians don't wants to agree to because the european union has said ukrainian projects can come into the european union without terrace being opposed. so this is a bit of a heated moment right now. the results in brussels yesterday, the minister needs at this didn't yield much in terms of concrete results. these things take long. it'll be all kind of nibble, especially in brussels. but that's the main issue right now. the w correspondent christine one glare reporting from poland. christine, thank you. have another lens, has announced its verdict in the highly anticipated trial of a drug cartel lead uh, re do on toddy. he has been sentenced to life in prison, and that's how he was once the country's most one said criminal the case against him. and 16 of the members of the monk crew mafia crime gang relates to 6 murders and a number of other attempted motors. it gained a lot of international attention off to the high profile killing of an

investigative journalist pizza, the face, who was supporting the prosecutor prosecutions key. witness dw, get power was at the coolest, announced a dime. and he told us how important is but it is for the ducks, justice system to it's a serious, vague 3 for the ducks prosecution service. they have a sense of the amount is to conveys one of the most infamous and fearsome crime bosses. the massey of boss, read one target of 46 road, does national of moroccan descend. he will serve a life sentence as well. 2 of the men who have been parts of this trial, the other 14 people in the 12 have who being convicted for a range of multiple years sentences. it's very significant. it's been shared pressure on this quote to convicts these men publicly and through the media. because of the crimes that they committed, 6 mothers, and indeed a string of all the attempted assassination of those that were trying to prevent

them from doing that work as a criminal organization. power level to this case though, it on least 3 of them that is related to now they will be who is the crime prosecutions key witness. in the case, his brother, his initial lawyer and the famous investigative journalist, peace of all the reeds. what was supporting him in the case with nodded as this trial continued, this is really significant. so then the evidence to see these convictions come dying and also for the rest of your up as well. because the macro massey a, who, all of these cry criminals with, would connect it to a very important in the trade of illicit drugs coming through the ports of both of them. which is also moving those drugs into the rest of your life as well. and with that, you are up to date coming up next global off looks at the coastal town and bangladesh that is offering
