the, the, this is dw, use live from bell in the late as of germany, friends and poland. say that united and preventing russia from winning as warn, you cried off, show it to them on a call and don't know to match from tulsa and berlin, promising more weapons, and quote, ceaseless back for king flaw, saying they will not to trumpets an escalation with moscow. russians costing ballots and the countries presidential election. the outcome is nothing, doubts with those 2 woods. the post settlement puts, you know, the bob from static locked up in prison or that last israel with tech.

some us latest proposal for last thing ceasefire and gaza. the minutes in ism his group had offered to return some hostages in exchange for palestinian presents israel's prime minister goals, the proposal of quotes, unrealistic, the good health is welcome to the program. as many as of france, germany and poland have held talks in berlin to discuss the war and ukraine. germany, as john set one of shots, french president, the amount of them i call and polish prime minister donald chose agreed to provide long distance artillery to help ukraine defend itself against russia. and they are continuing to look for other ways to improve support for kids. as a brussels with a shortage of military supplies and resources could be bought,

the 3 leaders also want to avoid an escalation with most count monday. and german shots that will have shows outlined how the 3 countries would be boosting their support for you, right? we are going to supply more weapons for ukraine on the whole world market. that's an improvement in a 2nd. production of its own military equipment is going to increase working together with partners inside the cranes. and thirdly, we are going to use vendor off of her, and there's more of tillery with in the a live agreement. and we are going to also, we're going to increase our commitment. it was in the us, tulsa of a short speaking. then joining us now is i did have your chief political editor here, la cruz. let me say, you know, you listen to that press conference,

a major announcement on boosting, weapons production inside ukraine. is that the main takeaway as well. the main takeaway is the unity that these 3 key nations within the european union have clearly made the top line of this gathering of the so called via triangle of fronts. poland in germany for the 1st time at this highest level in use . and there clearly, there's also mold and symbolic value to a front and germany announcing that there would now be amunition and potentially all the military equipment production on ukrainian sol, together with french and german companies. we know that one company, at least, is already made throwing up plans to become active. now this would potentially be a game changer, but it would also of course, present a new target for us. so when it comes about, we also had applied for a new alliance. they called it for

a long ranging at ms. sauls. we expect to move concrete details on that as the, the us hostage and meeting of sponsors if you credit is happening at the round sign . a base here in germany next week, but also with the upcoming e u summit, which includes the meeting of defense ministers. so the details clearly still being worked out what all sides have in common, that they don't would rush that to win and will increase the support for ukraine at the full front. and while those issues where they don't degree, simply not mentioned at this gathering today. but there are several issues that they are not agree on where the fault lines this the fault lines are what to rule out and what you don't to rule out. and the amount of my call rather spectacularly, didn't rule out. the events. so revival of ground troops in ukraine

to defend you. crane against russia. that is something the germans, hans, it was very quick to deny as a possibility for germany. he basically promised the german people that there would be new troops on the ground from germany, a new job and true involvement as well. so he's reasoning why he's not supplying the towers. mississauga cruise missile system that ukraine is desperately want as well. and you, we also had told a tough case who's a foreign minister, went on record saying, well, ground troops ultimately not on thinkable. but of course, it depends on how things progress. so there is still this fall line between the french take on strategic i'm big, you a t, as it's cold, keeping the other side, guessing what you might be willing and capable of doing and the job and take, and particularly tons of salts of take who's trying to portray himself as a tons of people to get towards the german people which creating rules out any kind

of government involvement. and that is 2 heads of government speaking that who both domestically under pressure. so the one most at ease, the most level headed potentially at this moment in time is don't know, toast q sony recently come into office as prime minister in poland. do you think there's a sense of rivalry that between my call and souls? well, let's put it this way. i mean, we're hearing at all levels that these 2 leaders who are so vital for europe remaining united but also taking further steps really don't see eye to eye. also the working level really not working as smoothly as one could expect. them to be and that's why we are getting these mix signals on who eventually really is leading the way on this. we did hear french present amount of our call speaking on t v, where he reiterated, and that he wouldn't roll out ground troops. also speaking of the special responsibility fonts has as a nuclear power. well,

germany is europe's largest economy. it also has special responsibility, but i think it's safe to say that both. ok, city also playing to domestic audiences ahead of those european elections. obviously, political editor, let me say, look, who's know that. thank you very, very much. let me say it off in russia, of voters have begun costing ballots in presidential elections with any real position figure. i have a band from running living and eggs are locked up in jail or dead. trying to get food in will almost certainly remain in power though the outcome is not in doubt. the road is never the less and opportunity for approaching to simmons. his. they've just to the see, the problem must go slipped, putting stations in the countries far eastern region have kind of chapter opens the doors. full names appear on the bottom paper. 3 of them, a barely known inside russia let to learn anywhere else. this ma'am us 3 die

election is really all about vladimir putin is need for more legitimacy on his long grip on power. some of us has political late have a very cost efforts such as far administer said guy level of defense minister said guy showing a as well as the results may be a full blown conclusion. this selection does shawn, some lights on to the hopes of often overlooked ordinary russians from false long regions like come chapter which it is very important to participate now, especially when the country is in this situation, you definitely need to vote to the capital must go. what do i expect? that everything will be fine? the demand i voted for will make our country better, and that we will only move forward not backwards to places under russian

occupation, such as the next of the science to pretends a pain of pensions for tranquility that we now haven't done that every thing as well. to everywhere in between, such an inside barrier at one pulling station. yeah. could simon perform the ritual calling on the spirits to help people make that choice? and while that choice appears to have already be made, these elections act as a reminder that that is saw more to russia than just not, it may appear, 10, dw is usually associated. so interviewed boris. and that is and is an opposition politician who gonna have enough support to defy put in in the presidential election bought was bought from the valid list. and that is didn't. he was the only potential presidential candidate who openly opposed to the whole in ukraine. why was this so important to you know, yeah, i don't know if i have loan, believe the truth and is leading, rush it into completely wrong direction on a positive allstar, terry,

and is militarization and installation show me this is completely the wrong direction and all of this for many centuries, russian monarchs and political leaders have fallen into this russ. it all was the end of the very badly fortune for progress shows. thousands of rations to support the to you. what is this to say about is the people who took to the streets despite the frost and dispute in line to give, is there a signature for you? the option was nice, which showed that in reality there is no such thing as a general support for either pollutant or special ministry operation in the rush of or if you ask, do you want to continue to fight on to victory to take keys or do you want to stop all this immediately and move on to a peaceful negotiation or, you know, the majority of russians choose the 2nd answer and then to the conflict and the transition to piece talks or you see that there is no vibrant support disputing smallest that people want to be honest, i haven't gone over the posit can do i can do. what can you both of the 3 candid

and what your thoughts, bluetooth center for incoming calls. we find it, none of them are decisive. williams, ukraine. these candidates were nominated by the official opposition of the official opposition in the russian parliament, fully support coaching 100 percent success. this is by the way, one of the country's problems. so this is one of the important questions. the newton made a fatal mistake by launching a military operation before thus for a quarter of a century, he is being destroying the key institutions of the russian states, including the parliament. we do not have an independent parliament. the majority of people in the country are in favor of peace negotiations, but there was not a single deputy in parliaments, not a single one who would vote for this to. ready the site to go so no, but doesn't even make sense to hold the election in russia or is democracy over christian? i mean, of course it doesn't. chavez recruiting believes that it is very important that

there are elections so he can see that the people support him by some of the criminal administration is trying very hard to frame the election campaign. so that you can think from 80 percent of russians or wisdom which is closer. courtney and what, what is it? how did you feel about it? yes, i from an affair election. who would of course not get 80 percent. if i participated, i believe i would get 30 percent pollution by many. yeah, that's often booting slightly re election, who then will be tied to being over this groups. some people are afraid of mobilization. what do you think will change in political life? what's your opinion? level and then nothing will change with them which, which is a politician who knows very well how to maintain power. he will not give the security forces too much power for washington. it's dangerous for him because and lives between local disorders, who knows the history of russia very well. surely he also knows the history of

numerous palace crews of the 18th century, when the national guard decided to prove the emperor would be put into this month. this will therefore he will not hand power to the secure. she forces sharika blushing. maurice and the dividend, and thank you very much for speaking to the top of us, of a 7 looking at some of the other stories making headlines. officials in the ukranian pulled city of odessa and say to russian, missile strikes have killed at least 16 people and wounded thousands more. the 2nd attack targeted power emetics, attending the scene of the 1st one regional galvanized declared today of morning on saturday. the police in somalia, i say 3 soldiers have been killed and thousands of civilians wounded off to all ship. bob militants stone to a hotel near the presidential palace in mogadishu, it took security forces, 13 hours to end the siege, which began lights on thursday. they show up dead or 5 attack us. the hotel is

popular with government officials. diplomat. thousands of muslims participated in the 1st friday prayers of the holy month of ramadan this year at the all. ok, some all skin jerusalem, the site known as to jews as the temple of mt is a flash point of inter religious tensions. the prey as well conducted on the type of security as the war between israel and tomas and gaza. contin, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has rejected a cx 5 proposal. put forward by how boss b is rarely premier quoted quote, unrealistic. the proposal would have seen the release of women children, elderly. i'm sick hostages taken by hamas and the october 7 turbo tax. in exchange for palestinian prison us is joe's office also says he has approved plans for a minute to operation in rough off in the southern gaza strip with some one and a half a 1000000 displays palestinians on our sheltering and dw corresponding tonic.

samara and jerusalem explained to israel's reaction to the seas, 5 proposals to me slogan, design, that's the more coming at the end, the wider security cabinet were meeting off to from us. submitted their proposal on thursday to the many a to us. and we understand now after the meetings that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu basically said, what he also had said late last night in a very short statement that the demons by him also unrealistic, also call them up search. we're talking here potentially that he's referring to, to demand. so thomas has put in earlier for a full withdrawal of from the cause a street by the is really forces as well as a full end to the more a permanent a ceasefire. just some of the sticking points. however,

the statement also said that uh, the security cabinet will discuss further the is rarely position and that in is rarely delegation, will be sent to katara to know how to continue apparently tweaks. so it's not a totally, it seems the end of it. however, this could certainly comes as a reading disappointment to the families of the hostages that do remain in gauze, but also to civilians. in garza, that has hoped for a, at least a temporary cease fire at some point during ramadan to it to get some respite. now . uh, what can you tell us about the rough uh fences as well. also in his statement, it was cited by prime minister benjamin netanyahu, that he approved military plans that had been drawn up earlier by the is rarely military for an operation in the office. this is the southernmost city in the gaza

strip. and as well as a to a, to order the civilian population, the image off of a to be a box, a to this no timeline given for that. this is an approval of the plans that were put forward by the is there any military that comes, of course often lot of chris criticism by the international community, especially also by uh, it was closest to all of the united states. no, to go ahead potentially was such an operation as a the over one point for an estimated 1400000 publishing and showing a in a gaza there in the off of. but again, these are just the approval of the plans. it's no time i've given when this or will happen. thank you very much to have your 1st pun intended for the reporting from jerusalem. and there was also going pressure on israel to allow more aid into gauze on the 1st ship,

sends via the new maritime age. cory door has now begun unloading its cargo onto a peer just of the guys in coast. it contains some $200.00 tons of food and other supplies packages also being ad dropped into the territory. israel has been facing criticism for allegedly blocking a deliveries by loud. these trucks are causes lifeline care. i'm shalom is one of 2 crossings. where's really officials check for items they say could be used by him? us, which is widely regarded as a terrorist organization. then the supplies are driven, backed into gauze the by the rafa crossing with egypt. agencies sites. this system is acting as a bottleneck and helping push palestinians towards the elevation. israel is facing increase pressure. and this national criticism for blocking aid into the strip is

really officials insist. this isn't the case and say that the real problem is that the when and other international organizations aren't capable of distributing the supplies once they get to garza, the problem is not on these really side or the routes for you. many to renee to gone into guys the problem who was a collective and distributed. and this is the main gap because the you in haven't adjusted themselves to this humanitarian operation here. and guys, but un officials say that's not true. and the number of trucks entering is far too low to meet the population of needs. before the prices and the war started in the 7th of october, it was $500.00 or $600.00 trucks coming in a day. and since that time, people have had a mazda of catastrophic humanitarian disaster, the upon them. so we need more entry points one in the north, and many other places for, for, to come into, rather than just the one crossing point of the moment. even once food does arrive,

there's no guarantee it'll end up in the hands of hungry people. guards as a mass run health ministries that on thursday that this a distribution center and central garza had been hit by his riley attack. a miss been more or less sure, and we get the aid and we distribute it to people. the people needed to come to get their ramadan meals today. they hit the warehouse and burned all the 8, including the dates, how to go. it's the 2nd time and as many days as an aide site has been attacked. and a reminder that even as countries scramble to transport supplies to garza by s and c, getting them that is only part of the struggle. earlier he bought a tv of care into the national, told us it was a does not guessing where it's needed. there is a huge process, hectic, one heavy one that is lengthy and that is complicated to allow for

a to into together. and when the 8 is entered in gaza, then you are pleased with the condition and they are all difficulties which is related to 2 things. the 1st one is the fuel to distribute the, the, uh, the 8 that is entering. and secondly, that a, that same environment that would allow the different teams to distribute the 8. and this is, of course only i'm talking about the cell and not even the noise in the know what the situation is even more difficult because there is a very difficult look pretty limited number of 8 and see between the self and the noise. it's been a long time and the making it almost failed. but now you remember countries have agreed to a low that will force companies to oppose environmental and human rights done. that's in the supply chains. the green lights came on the off, the major compromises on the original text. we made 10 production at the company. each donald in germany teeter efforts have been made for several years to trace the

supply chain for the 10 used the company. does this voluntarily to the proposed law, many more companies that you will need to check if there's supply chains, use child labor or cause environmental damage such as through deforestation, through not as many companies are affected as initially planned the original version aimed to include all companies that have more than $500.00 employees, and it annual turnover of at least $150000000.00 euros. now, the proposals will only apply to you. companies with more than a 1000 staff and a turnover above 450000000 euros. that would have meant around $20000.00 companies would be forced to document the origin of everything. they sold countries including germany in italy, which are held to many small and medium size companies, feared the original law would hit them unfairly. that number has fall into under 6000 even so the german chamber of commerce says the new law means

a lot of red tape and would also make products more expensive for companies and consumers. the world wide fund for nature also opposes the compromise. but it says the eu has reduced the package to a shadow of its former self. the european parliament will now have to give its approval to the changes to the legislation. if it's to become law. the 13th african games on the way had gone up. so i'm up, please have the chance to qualify for this use olympics in paris that i like the f calling that's took place in neighboring a cote d'ivoire. the african games with 54 nations competing has not spot the much needed to do for you. across the world's attention offers, funded so collect see reports from across gun and cycling team has home advantage of this. he is africa games in a cry. so the money brought here is $1.00 of them is leaving

a child who to dream of competes, and that the highest level of the supports that settings icon games gives him a shot after winning meadows for gonna crowd. but there's a big goal of reaching the olympics games in july. he says it will be great to have life and gotten in to be on the podium. that is the fast for you mean on to put you on here. then this tools that we're lympics. so we are looking for it and like i said, to collectively get in the middle for the country, at least on $54.00 nations of fighting for glory seems to me to 9 different disciplines of the games. each of them i only qualifies it's ready sites in goal for the at least competing to fulfill the sporting dreams. but it hasn't all been going smoothly for the organizes. the leads to the completion of

manuals and disputes between state quote is false. the games to be held this year instead of last august. these issues hop largely or by shadow the interest around the games locally. probably 60 a head of the games. have you? not too many streets and the carpet tiles have billboards for more than the veins. that's mix following the games. struggle for some i do know rides and there was nothing that's probably going to. we didn't get to actually do what, what's going on. people are not here. number 3, i see the billboards and see the post and all but what is actually going on? what are we doing when? when we talk about games, how many games are we playing? i think if i'm you can see where they've been, offer me organize as bloomed a little enthusiasm on cool beach and financial difficulties. they fully realize not as expected for so many readings at a time that was supposed to peach in terms of branding, in terms of obesity,

coverage sets in and brought a lot of financial challenges. and so admittedly, the fully a husband rich that presented that we all expect the goodness banes $195000000.00 on the infrastructure for the games. and the fees are funded, comic crises and questions i know being asked about the impacts of hosting the games on ordinary citizens. you're watching and see the news because i remind them of all the top stories, the leaders of germany from since colon, and have concluded thoughts on ukraine strategy here in berlin jones. so it will show us vow to increase weapons productions for peace and process. the minimum of all said europe security was at stake in ukraine, and that the trio agreed not to prompt an escalation with moscow. israel has rejected how most latest proposal for a ceasefire calling the offer unrealistic. the offer would have seen the release of

women, children, elderly and sick hostages taken by home off in exchange for palestinian and that's it from me and the news team i'm next to the bait, showed to the points about russia's hybrid gatos was in the, in the

to the, to the points strong opinions, clear position, international perspective. visual leaders say they don't want to be drawn to russia, but as the latest cases of espionage against germany show, russia is already at war with the craze. allies on to the point we ask russians hybrid warfare, the real threat to the west to the point next

on d w. c speaks her mind even though the campus does the talking to monica from somebody else. so we could humorous taking african comedy stages slide to get to get away with things not c. as in 16 minutes on d, w, the this shadows, it took a little effort to create a maximum damage to germany's image. since the war and ukraine began the west and especially germany, s keeps 2nd, most important supporter has been increasingly targeted by russia secret service.

it's how dangerous is this.
