the, the data we news long from berlin, a plea for common slovak, yeah. after an assassination attempt political leaders call for an end to a vicious cycle of hatred in a divided country one day after a gun man tried to kill the prime minister. also coming, processed president vladimir putting meets a china shooting, ping and beijing, but to a leader of hale or countries, ties as a force for stability and what they call a chaotic for the

on the go for at least good to have you with us. a man has been charged with attempted murder after he tried to assassinate the slovak prime minister, rogue feats. so veto was shot 5 times and is said to be now in the stable but serious condition in hospital. so lucky as interior minister says the gun man was a lone wolf who did not belong to a specific political group attempt on fee. so his life came at a time of high polarization. and so, lock us, thousands of demonstrators have repeatedly rallied in the capital and around the country to protest his policy. you know, we instruct barricades and so lock, you know, where he's been following the story for us. he has more on the man who has now been formerly charged steps. so we know that he's a 71 year old man. the interior minister of sort of like you said that he had attended on to government protests in the past. slowly about media has been reporting quite extensively on this mom because he was arrested straight off the

shooting yesterday. there are multiple videos of him that have been circulating on the internet. i thought about media says he's a poet, underwrite to. they suggest that he was ones aligned and turned up to riley's related sort of patriotic militaristic groups here, but then changed his political affiliation, insulted, subbing for peace. but now we have from the integrity administer that tends to be, he was attending these on 2000 the rallies and the he was not being charged, as you say, with attempted murder of the prime minister rather feed. so me a lot of concern about his condition, of course, after the attack, the hospital staff gave an update on how he's doing. we'll get back to you in a 2nd. but 1st let's listen in that scene tomorrow. um, and they'll help protect the patient stuff with multiple gunshot bullets. so the consequences of these will affect his recovery and we'll do some better way to get ahold of getting that c o the whole trans. at the moment his condition has

stabilized, but it is still very serious indeed that com. you knows, i betting me bash me. that's why you really can't fund the intensive care unit at the hospital. i mean, you know, that he will be looked after the last thing that i, the entire team of doctors that he will need to have. we just that i to team. uh so the team like cut off 30 be able to by checking here at the hospital were fee, so it was being treated. what more can you tell us about his condition? so yeah, so there's been a sort of slight side of re lease if you put it that way. it seems that they have stabilized him. does that look quite as worried as they did immediately in the off them off of the attack? we know that he's probably going to have to stay in intensive guy. he's still being salt 5 times. there's probably a long recovery to go through, but the adults just don't appear to be failing for his life. and that is obviously a good sign. but it also doesn't really is just the political implications of what this means and attempted assassination can often have very,

very large and implications, especially as, as we run into those european elections coming in june. but this has so fierce a further act of violence in the run up to these elections in about 3 weeks time. how do you think it's going to affect the remainder of the campaign and the extreme polarization in the country? yeah, it is really extreme polarization. i've been speaking to us and so about john, unless some colleagues who are 1st, the very, very nervous to speak to anyone else about the political climate hit immediately off to the shooting ministers from the government. here into the back. you pointed the thing, is it done to the sense that you are to blame me for creating this climate? and i spoke to a couple of the correspondents from the slate by state media. they said that they were really happy to see that the incoming president on the outgoing president of the a, just in the last few hours, came out and quotes the com code for tensions to be diffused. even suggesting that

the campaign should be suspended or definitely at the tone died in the run up to those elections. that paragraph from bonds based into in slovakia. thank you so much for that update. the presidents of russia and china say their relationship has become stronger in the face of growing tensions with countries in the west. the comments come as water improvement holds talks, which she didn't paying as part of a 2 day state visit to china. the 2 leaders have signed an agreement on deepening their ties. they say they're trying to end the war and ukraine, but offered no details on their efforts. red carpets and fun, 5 and paging chinese president eugene pain, mental russian president vladimir putin. this is putin 2nd trip to china in a year. and his 1st since beginning is the time he said by june as a 1st destination was, quote, only logical. the alliance for china has become especially important to russia

since its invasion of ukraine in 2022 left to much more isolated on the wild stage . those need is also shared mutual concerns about what they call west and the gemini tom is the soonest him in today's world, the cold war mentality is still rump antello to the uni doctoral head gemini, of block, the confrontation, and the policy of force directly threatened world peace and the security of all countries followed lucy, china and russia perceive a political settlement as a right way to resolve the ukrainian crisis. but china has sold deal purpose technology to rush us about the conflict which has military uses. putin expressed his gratitude to china to them, they're probably me. we consider it necessary to work towards building a reliable and adequate security architecture in the asia pacific region, in which there is no place for coast of military political alliances. same states,

it is very harmful and conquered, productive to create such alliances. of course, for my part, i will continue to inform the chairman about the situation that is developing along the ukrainian crisis. wayne school because it's a mutually beneficial strategic relationship for both countries. and it's one that will be watched closely by west indeed, as the person watching closely was during lis, bobby and catch mike, you joined us earlier from beijing and i asked him what china expects to get out of its deepening relationship with russia. so yeah, i would say that it's china once mandy, 2 things, maybe the 1st aspect is rather pragmatic code wants to em. benefits economic from the state as quote. now after the one ukraine, lots of west and companies have left the russian market and a chinese companies of putting that gap. and on the other hand, also, um russia, it's basically a cheap gasoline station for port china. so it delivers oil and gas it discount

price. so um china benefits from that. but then that's another aspect. and i would say that the china has a very much strategic interested outlined with russia maybe. um, the rest of it is helpful for china that it can deal a blow to the west. it can help undermine the liberal roots based order. and i think both countries actually have different perspectives and how a future order could look like. i think they are not 100 percent a light on that question, but both want to see the western dominance have gone and i think this is really also what keeps them together. ukrainian president below them is a landscape says the military situation in the north eastern region of harkey is extremely difficult, but still, as he says under control, he was speaking. after a meeting with his military chief near the front line, russia launched a major ground assault into the region last week. some of the heaviest fighting has been in the town of love, john score. almost 8000 people have been forced to flee their homes. this is

clearly the player that retired at the last 2 years after the last 2 years and then he's made his come back to the, to the team. now he will be at this year, i was expecting it to hopefully when the trophy at the same time he brings that experience and, and really about football that he and he's known for. but also we can talk about younger players, like in mind, we'll see all a fuel and dads, they are pretty much the present and future of germany. so those are the players that really stand out. but as mentioned 20 course, it's definitely one of the keys for you to not get some in team ahead of the home euros here in germany. what about the players and didn't make the cut any shockers there? well we're going to talk about months homeless, who plays for but with adult ones. they will be playing of a challenge as a final against real madrid. and we, as we know, mass homeless has not made the team. only 2 players from both the adult will have made the team made the cut. and these 2 players are new to us, play, cook and lots of back. and as mentioned, not so much is the one that stands out it just because he's in such

a good form. you're the next one, was asked about it during the process or just uh, earlier. and uh yeah, he did say uh, it was a difficult decision to not include them, but uh, these are the decisions that a coach has to take. and i, yeah, he's one of the players that might be for a lot of fans missing in this, in the squad. so now that we have the full picture, what are germany's chances at this tournament? well as host, of course germany what should be and where you expect them to be favorites. however, germany have been in a slump ever since the 2018 world cup they have improved. however, under your coach duty and i can spend who took over and then october november, those were his 1st matches. so he's had a short 10 years coach and he's got a big, big, big jump to fail. now, playing here, the euro is at home. so she did mention that he expects the team to do well the yours, but of course he's really convinced that this is a team that could bring success to germany. we'll have to wait. and so you that was the, the sports importer heck of flores. thanks for that. and with that we've reached
