the, the, this is the w news live from the land is time running out for tick tock. the us house of representatives approves a bill to impose a nationwide bond on the social media platform. unless it's concepts, ties with china. with the coming up on the program construction on a peer get some of the way to bring aid in $2.00 a by c as international pressure amounts on israel button multiple agencies of stressing the vital importance of lines deliveries, oversee unnatural and raising a voice of position as russia for pass to go to the poll. some russians now living in germany, a challenging hooton's propaganda. despite the risk the

menu is making and welcome to the program. the us is poised to band tick tock unless the social media app cuts its ties to china. us little make, has overwhelmingly voted for a bill which forces the chinese oh, not to sell the app, to an owner from a country other than china or face a total them. now there are concerns. social media service could be used to collect american citizens personal data, but it poses a threat to national security. china has protested saying it's unfair to use those arguments to bring down the competitive advantage of all the countries. my name is an showcase for goofy dances or a threat to national security. how american c take talk could shut it down in the

us. the house has given fight and the chinese company that owns take talk. i know to made them sell it or phase a ban has connected. it comes from it growing concerns over the chinese government's ability to access use the data collected by the app. tick tock is a threat to our national security because it is owned by, by dance which does the bidding of the chinese communist party. this build therefore, forces tick tock to break up with the chinese communist party. take talk is one of the wells, the most popular apps thing i would do. it has more than a 1000000000 active users and over a 170000000 in the us alone. many are passive strollers, but others use the platform to earn a living and rely on it to acquire brand deals and other types of income.

they are now concerned about the impact, a tick, tock, shut down could have in their lives. i make a book, ones that want to take tests and it is my full time job. i mean the world's me um, the platform that i have on the income that i can create to for myself and my family. it completely changed my life. i went from sleeping in my truck to live the pen now. so now employing people, we have a team of 17 people. we have a staff check to excess. it has never shared us user data with chinese authorities and won't do so. if it's asked if the bill is approved by the senate, it could disrupt the social media landscape like never before. and we can get more on the story from dw reports the same visually. hi steve. uh. so tech talk is saying that the us has, it has already ruled off us business from china. so explain to us why this

isn't enough. yeah, this is a company that has spent a lot of time and resources trying to prove its distance from badging because they know their existence in the us may depend on and that's exactly what we're seeing. the problem is it hasn't worked. essentially, it's not convincing. this firewall project to talk about the say, the spend one and a half $1000000000.00 on it. they put the algorithm on us base servers owned by us companies, the management board based on the us, even the human resources team, based on the us hiring in the us. there's a look, it's all separated. the problem is there's been reputable reporting recently showing that there are still issues, things aren't really going right in this reporting is based on sources within the company. basically saying the data is still going back to the chinese company that owns tick tock, saying that's the differentiation between the us operations and the chinese or isn't quite clear. so, so far these efforts haven't really been convincing. okay, and what's trying this reaction to, to what's just happened? well, as you can imagine, it's not been positive,

but of course the china and the us have been going back and forth on different companies and regulations for awhile. and this is something that they're obviously not in favor of. in fact we have a sound bite from before ministry. i believe we could play that may go to where you're at with a take on the bill, passed by the house of representatives, puts the us on the opposite side of the principal effect competition. and international economic contract was, was so weekly circled reasons of national security can be used to arbitrarily suppress forward and competitive companies. then that will be no fairness or justice. a tool kind of it shared love is logical to try every means. it's not a good thing. so of the tom ball which. alright, that was 1. 1 thing is this is this both the person for the ford ministry and what makes this whole debate around tick tock, sort of weird is listening to china to cry. the national security interest of another country and also a free enterprise, be the sort of this kind of flag holder for free enterprise. we know, for example, that the major social media networks like facebook and twitter are not allowed in

china. we also know that the version of tick tock used in china is very heavily regulated. there are strict controls for under age users. a teenagers are even limited in how much they can use the app. and beyond that, we know that in china, over the past 3 plus years, this is a government that's really disciplined its own tech sector in a remarkable way. they, they basically stopped one of the world's biggest appeals from happening right before it happened. it was at the group and then it's, it's spent the past few years brow beating the ceo's of tech companies from $0.10 a d. d, also by dance got called in. so this idea that somehow paging is a passive observer of everything is going on with ideas. it just doesn't really add up. okay, let's talk about the money. i mean, what about the potential potential economic impacts in the us if this does happen? right, and this is the point that tick tock likes to point out. i also don't find that a really compelling argument. it is true that it has become a major player and ad revenue. it's eclipsing a lot of the other sort social networks right now for businesses that is important

to reach a specific demographic and often and very clever and savvy ways. the thing is there are other social networks, they're doing something similar. so there is, there are alternatives. also for the creative community, we saw them in that piece complaining about their livelihoods. that's not incorrect, there are people who will be affected. but again, there are alternatives. and i'm just not sure these are arguments in the 1st place that are really put pulling at the heart strings of many americans. so i'm not sure that can tell him all right, well, have sleep atlanta. thank so much c, w reported stevens is lead. thanks for the are now, israel is coming on the increasing pressure to allow more humanitarian aid into gaza. the you and says around the course of gauze is $2000000.00 population is on the brink of salvation. the construction of a small pair is underway as a ship loaded with $200.00 tons of food. slowly it makes its way from cyprus towards the besieged territory, but aid agencies all warnings that ad drops on the maritime cargo on no alternative

to land deliveries. let's get moved from valley for the agenda list. who's in tel aviv money is. riley's millet treat says the israel is trying to and i and i quote here, floods gaza with humanitarian aid. and yet we're hearing. but in his radio strike history, you and warehouse in rough, a killing dozens of people. those 2 things are a bit of a contradiction on a well, not exactly. uh well, let's look at it and the see the bigger picture here. um, let's start with the air strike and rough uh, this start has killed a mazda commander who was in charge of taking control of your ministry, an aide that, uh uh, over the human $38.00 in the rough. i. exactly. so as well as an aide worker was killed. that's a, that's correct. but it's what made it clear that they weren't allowed him ask members including civilly enough to do so,

like the police that belongs to from us to control. they neither to take it for its own people who become us military, nor a know that the distributed for disability and population. so the problem is that there's pros yet to sit and alternative, or how mazda 17 and this trip. and we got confirmed also that there has been some attempts to convince some plans that so like big family income does have to take charge of disability population. and all these at them has failed until now. on the other hand, the officially israel has no issue against living in the, the agent before the supplies inside the source of the military standing me just moments ago that the, the war that we have is a, gave some us, not the civilian population. and when i asked about the motor sports person a statement yesterday when he said loading at gaza with a, the sort of saying that there, there will be an increase in a getting in from a or land m. c. in the coming days,

attributing that to an increase of 8 supplies from countries, apparently because of from of that. okay. now we know that the age coming by ship from cypress is expected to arrive today. do we know yet how that will be distributed and how quickly will they asked about that specifically and above the source? to tell me that it's not clear yet who is going to be in charge of the security for that? the shipment as specifically because the small peer is yet to be built. in fact, it's going to be taking weeks of even months to build on the of the construction companies that berkeley, a private company that will think of the mission on its own is we have to be found at least enough to incompletion. so it's not yet clear who's gonna distribute distributive after this, and williams and net, nothing doesn't. alright, by like slipping in tell of a fight so much for that reporting that let's take

a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world today and both china and taiwan dispatched rescue vessels officer, a chinese fishing boat capsized near some taiwan controlled islands. high ones, coast guard says 2 people were rescued. another 2 are missing and 2 bodies will also recovered. the rescue was a red joint operation of mid heights and tensions between the mainland on taiwan, which china claims as part of its territory. a start to another thing is that it says all thousands of farms of protested in the indian capital daily demanding minimum price is full. that crops of to weeks a stand of the government farms were allowed into the capsule on the condition that they did not use vehicles to block roads and did not carry weapons. tom is constituted, influential. those things lot ahead of national election since april in may and the dutch alright lead i can't, will, does,

has given up hope of becoming the countries prime minister. that despite his election victory can move in the world is couldn't find enough support for a coalition. government under his leadership is withdrew comes and made negotiations to form a tech necros that governments not directly controlled by political policies. jen, lawmakers have clashed over the decision notes to send taurus christmas. solve to ukraine of a debate in berlin is intensifying divisions within the coalition. government opposition empties and some in the governing coalition. policies are demanding the government deliver the long range weapons to help you train flight russian forces shown slot will show that it's on his s p d policy against sending torres missiles, slicing the risk of germany being dragged into the war during the debates of senior opposition politician said charlotte was playing into vladimir pollutants hands

while others said, it was time to push the peace. either from mind, you're suppose, it proved and has only few missed approaching the aggression against ukraine. that is the result stuff. the dog is a sneak ended site, isn't it time? we not only talked about how to wage war, but also about how to freeze this conflict and stop it once it's all, all the end. he kind of dw is chief political correspondent. nina has a, has been following the debate for us morning. nina. tell us why the german government is just so very hesitant about sending these taurus myself. so the german government argues that it is already doing a lot for ukraine. and if you look at total numbers, then it's true that germany ranks on number 2 when it comes to support of ukraine. several individual speakers here today. the german parliament stressed again the

fact that a germany has delivered up to between 28000000000 euros and 30000000000 years of age. since russia's full scale invasion began 2 years ago. and that is the single biggest number the gemini, has ever given to any other country in its history. so people say that the debates about this individual weapon system is somehow overshadowing the fact that germany is a strong support of ukraine, remains a strong support to john. so that will, of choice has a stressed again this week why he doesn't want the delivery of the state of the art cruise missile. he says he doesn't want german soldiers involved in finding the targets, for example, for those very, very efficient weapon systems that can destroy the bunk. cuz know of the opponents of sunset. it shows as move our schools are giving you don't actually need them and told us you just need to train ukrainians well, but the time slot has so far remains adamant that he's not going to send the

tourist cruise missiles. and he is drawing criticism from both the opposition as well as from within his own government coalition. okay, so lots of military coming from germany, but no taurus missiles. so where does germany's stats leave european supports the ukraine as well? you do have in a very specific detail discussion about every individual weapon system that germany delivers to ukraine. we've seen that over the last 2 years. we've had the same discussion when it came to sending the left to 2 tanks to ukraine. that was a long debate, very detailed, very specific. i don't think that many other countries do that around the world that you have these open debates about the pros and cons of what these weapon systems can do. other countries just go ahead and deliver. and so this is something that is perhaps a bit particularly low to the german debate over roll gemini, says it will continue to support ukraine for as long as it takes. there is also

going to be a meeting between the gym, chancellor and we'll have sides. and the french president and mine where my call together with the polish counterpart. so not till tomorrow here in berlin, where they'll also talk you train because of course the polls in particular are extremely worried about what russert is going to do next. and the warning that we're already in a pre war scenario and not the post war scenario anymore. so the message coming out of feeling is still, we are continuing to support you crane. but we're just not going to deliver this cruise missile system. the w as chief political correspondent, nina has indeed no, thank you. now there are almost 240000 russian citizens living here in germany, and that number is believed to have grown since the invasion of ukraine. many of them will have a chance to vote in russia's presidential election, which stops on friday. the w spoke to some members of the russian to ask for

a hearing violin to find out the hoops i'm see is so the future notionally, this gilded fortress is where a barrel ends. russian would come to cost their vote since on these elections. these days, they mostly come to me on, i, alexia vall, need flooded me approaching fish. this critic was fine day, and a penal colony last month. another brutal nail in the coffin of democracy. try as we might. some are still hoping to keep the flame of life to arrive in the back of the embassy routines. opponents are trying to link their right to be freedom. politically, prisoners, shut the campaign to rename the st. alexi, nevada. and these dresser has gained almost 50000 signatures most

the time. i wasn't enough on the support and i think that the fight is not over this basically stuff. sure why your this today is a part of the fight against pollutants propaganda. we just above this, a space for artists nearby. thousands of russians packed into a cosy theater in search of inspiration, hope a therapy on stage discussion about the upcoming vote. about war, about what to do next, research agenda expect any good from the selection you by? yeah, are you going to vote no, no. why not? the last time. i don't know what nobody would say. i don't know. he would probably call to do something. because i don't know if i should go to the russian embassy. i will will. who will you vote for?

i guess i will destroy the ballots. probably i will just vote for more than one candidates. and maybe i will write our president is not on the road in the united states. and i think most of the people came to germany through europe do not have much expectations from these elections because it's very clear what the outcome is going to be. e, mid that feeling of helplessness got a sense of guilt prevails over vladimir per teams. war on ukraine, but no matter where you live in the west or in russia, you feel responsibility for this. 4 the demonstration, no of so on edge. everyone here knows all too well type routine has deployed the boss a type of process to keep control and crushed the st. just a minutes ago actually called somebody's a person that has spoken to me is a set time. um, meaning that she's been observing all she's been present to this action. uh and so

there has been registering year things that is happening here is i'm really bad. how about i just muscles? i'm afraid to go back to russia. my homeland, who could think that because i was thinking, perhaps this month, a political exile who tells me he was imprisoned in russia for fighting corruption? fearful, and you want me to chose for us to put in use and we saw him a secret anatomy and the when the you you, you created a daughters who you said us from the us and people don't believe which is what this continues. let me see is would be with the bottle field part of the question on the let go change of diminishing prospect. all that is left for those here are small lights of coverage and expressions of defiance and hope for a better future. dw spoke to alexa. you support from the state of the about

foundation, those companies oldest political think tank. and we often if there's any reason to think that the political situation in russia could change any time soon. a well, it is a desperate time and many people see all that. you know, is this the darkest hour already, or is there a more to suffer and to, and you are before there was actually a shift towards a better political future. and electrically speaking, there is no reason to believe the changes happen at any time soon. so it's all about preserving and your energy and the belief that there is a different political set top where russia can live and it can be governed. and this is also the average of and explained the buying the optimism of the deed. sure, you will not vote pointing out of power, doesn't mean you need to give up on your country and on the election send on your institutions altogether to southeast asia. now with thousands of young people, a trying to leave me in law. now it's not a recent trend,

but an apparent new spike being driven by the military hunters plans for mandatory conscription and recent weeks, many have tried to flee to neighboring thailand in order to escape military service . it comes at a time when men, most government is struggling to contain armed rebel forces facing greater autonomy in some parts of the country. hundreds of people q outside the tight embassy and young gone. mia malls launch is city. many here hoping to secure a visas, so they can leave the country and escape military service. you're going to do the demo. it's far as an older, from the one to the old men, aged 18 to 5 to 5. and women from 18 to 27. most of in the army for up to 2 years over the full, my members of the security forces also being called back to walk. finally. yeah,

no, i'm already against the crew and i have no desire to do service for this military regime as well. but i also don't have any idea about where to go, what to do next, and i'm uncertain about my future one which i knew were why the way i think it is military service lives targeting youth, young people in me in mar, have lost their dreams. and this law makes them hurt even more when they don't think on that it makes us sad and feel even more fearful. our future is already fading away. so the west lock could be the greatest mistake the military has made, and its breaking the young people the me and mom minute tree stage to cruise 3 years ago, over throwing the democratically elected government. pro chess followed the one to responding with force against its own people. move in 6000

civilians were killed in the 1st 20 months off to the february 2021 crew. according to the peace research institute also bridge revel onto groups opposed to the one to have been growing across the country. and the government has struggled to keep control with reports. some of the own soldiers have even deserted, of forcing young people into military service appears to be an attempt by the one to get you. tell me back on the front foot. but judging by scenes like this of shoes, visas, it's driving people to see me on my i curl, rates provide home for nearly a quarter of a whole marine spaces. they also help to protect coastlines and support the $1000000.00 fishing and tourism industries. but partly due to fossil fuel,
