the, the, this is dw news lines it from berlin, ukraine's president here in berlin, urging the world to help rebuild his country. music. lensky is asking for assistance to repair ukraine's energy sector shattered by russia's war, chancellor or walk shoulds, telling him that germany will remain committed to keep. also coming up. everyone's voters in except for one bill. and that's from us. you were secretary of state anthony, blinking is as israel's prime minister, has committed to a new truce in gaza and he's hopeful that her boss will to the un security council . gave it back into the plan overnight. the

library golf. it's good to have you with this, we begin with a president and a plea to help his people today you. courtney and president problem is zalinski address, the german parliament here in berlin. he's in the german capital for a 2 day conference on ukraine's more time reconstruction. ukrainian leader has made an urgent appeal to supply his country with more air defense systems. he's being hosted by the german chancellor. i'll show you his called on allies to continue to support ukraine and it's reconstruction. a priority will be ukraine's energy sector, which has been devastated by russian air attacks. cities on the front lines have suffered the brunt of those assault. you create officials expect the cost to rebuild those areas to run in the hundreds of billions of dollars to lensky, appealed to german lawmakers today to ensure that russia is held to account. so you

have not see a guy scheme says contin environmental easy. and this is what we mean is there is a continental dream that we have a part from a piece for europe or to know. so, you know, our only obligation is to defend our people's, our europe, the international order, which is based on the rules. see, not by town. russia has different goals and dreams, russia, you stand in the face against all of us alone. so we all have to force russia to change and it's possible because there is no wrong, that's not the process, but needs to be as cheap international as of richard walker was at the conference here in berlin. you've had a real game here in berlin today of the massive challenges faced by ukraine and keeping its economy, keeping it society afloat under an invasion that's been going on now for well over

2 years. the energy system is being one of the main focuses for a lot of music. lensky telling delegates here today is that half of its energy has been energy system has be knocked out by russian attacks. ukraine wants to attract foreign investments for money to help it rebuild that. but of course a major question for any company, any business that wants to go in and help with that is well, how do i protect my investment? what is the russian boma lands on my investment a year from now? so that's one of the major questions at this conference. how to enable how to provide assurances to businesses that they can invest in ukraine. a big part of that is the question of insurance states providing insurance to companies that they can take that potentially risky step. but if you step back from this conference and see what's going on during the course of this week, with a debate, move to the bonus tag with a lot of mr. lensky address the german problem. and then it will be moving on to

equity, where the g 7 is gathering to talk about how to provide most financial support to ukraine and then on to switzerland to the weekend. to discuss at the a peace conference, what a piece could look like at the end of this. you can see the, all of this is really positive. one big picture, which is ukraine and is allies trying to communicate to the russian side that they come out last russia. this is the reckoning. the vladimir putin is trying to play wrong alone game. he's trying to fight a war of attrition with ukraine that he reckons ukraine will ultimately lose. he reckons that his political system will ultimately outlast the resilience and resolve of the western democracies. so what we're seeing here in this week is a kind of a snapshot of the battle of the systems between a dictatorship as many say it is now in russia against the democracies of the west being forced out in ukraine. a lot of me zalinski will be hoping that this is all

done to boost his position, the ultimate t, when it does come to some kind of negotiations, the police and will be on the back foot rather than on the front foot. that he seems to many to be right now. that was the, the used even the national editor, richard walker from the ukraine recovery conference here in berlin. you're a secretary of state, anthony blinking says israel's prime minister, has reaffirmed his commitment to a new cease fire in the gardens of strip. we can says, the honest is now on the militant group, hamas whose taylor attacks on israel sparked this morning. after talking the relatives of those taken hostage to gods on october 7th, you said the longer the conflict drags on the higher the chance of regional spread . families have been protesting outside the hotel where blinking has been holding talks with his rarely officials. on monday, the un security council endorse of the us back to cease fire proposal,

but there's still no official line for me is real on the plant. let's take a closer look at the deal that blinking is trying to get all sides to sign up to. it's made up of 3 phases in the 1st, the release of hostages, a prisoner swap, and partial truth withdrawal under a 6 week truce. the 2nd includes a permanent ceasefire that would mean to for withdrawal of israeli forces from the gods and strip. the 3rd phase would focus on a plan to rebuild garza. this is what anthony blinking had to say to reporters today until a beef everyone's vote is in except for one vote. and that's from us. and that's what we wait for. it is awesome us to move forward with this proposal for or not. and it's very clear what

as i said, virtually the entire international community wants to see. and of course with so many families want us. and it's also what the people of gaza so desperately need or yes, or correspond to tanya kramer and jerusalem. if we are getting any closer to a deal as well. i say nobody can actually right now answer the question and it seems that the, the ceasefire slash hostage d a, a proposal that's on the table is still quite elusive. i mean, this was the very reason why your secretary of state entity blinking was again in the region to push both sides to move closer to words, reaching this agreement. and as he said, until the blinking set, that's everybody's no waiting for the homeless leadership in garza. he means by that y'all, he has seen was the very man that is ro is looking for, for since october,

a 7 know we've heard also from the is where the government quite a big is a statements about this proposal that was presented by president joe biden. and washington, over 10 days ago, they have said that is which is what he presented was not accurately represented there, but also be heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he said that he will not agree to an end to the war unless i'm us will be uh, and this is ro would actually, and him, us military capabilities now, as mr. blink, and sees it, and other people is and how mazda is a chord, how most has work come the un security cancer a resolution, but they still have to formerly agree to this proposal, and they have also made it very clear that they don't want to see a d a that was not a goal for permanent ceasefire, and they want to see the full withdrawal of is ready troops from garza. so we have

to wait and see what they saw. your stand decide, tanya weird does this leave, the hostage is the israeli hostages. and where does it leave the people of golf as well? i mean for now there isn't a ceasefire. and i mean, where do you start? you know, there's no respite a needed for the hostages. and after this, a rescue mission on such a did such a day where for it's very hostages were rescued by the military. uh which left uh, a large number of postings uh, did, uh, killed and injured in the news. the rod, a refugee kind of some an industry believe it might make there um, uh, the, the hostages. so domain and goal is a $120.00 hostages that are still there. it could be the, the situation would become actually worse. and of course, for the relatives of those hostages that are still out here, also demonstrating and calling on the government to go for. do they say this is the

only way forward at the moment because such risk emissions are very rare and they're also very risky. so they see such a deal as the last trends and of course, for guidance that has been now the work goes into it's 9 months that have been multiple times displaced that most of them a homeless. they have no home. maybe also to go to that has been made dependent on age and the humanitarian situation is extremely difficult. and we also heard that again from antony blink. and as a conference in jordan, then absolutely a c star is needed to address those to many turn needs. and of course, of course, for the guys instead, the future is totally uncertain because they also don't know what will happen afterwards. correspondents, on your claim to be the lead us from jerusalem to 9 ton. you as always thank you. i'm sorry to hear some of the other stories now that i'm making headlines around the world hunter binding has been found guilty on 3 federal gun charges after

have unique coals used to communicate across large distances. they've been eaves dropping on to hood some kenya to create a sound library for the research. about half of the the sound in the call is below our level of hearing. so we actually cannot hear it . and so we have to use a special microphone to record these calls and we also had to be quite close to them because the sound attenuates the distance. and research is to split the results by playing recordings to elephant slight margaret she is, she responds to a cool, specific to here. but this quote isn't here. and she doesn't call back as or sometimes when they're in a big group,

a female or a med check of the group or give a call and the entire group will respond to a group up around her, it or follow her whatever. and then other times she gives me the very similar to call and, and nobody will respond. nobody will react to that call except for a single ellison in the group. and that out that will respond or come out, you know, come up to her or whatever. and so that sort of indicates that they have a means by which to communicate. do they want to talk to adult ellison's? were more likely to use names than com, suggesting it could take years to learn the skill. now, scientists a working to crack the complicated code around the goals, they hope, understanding what allison's a saying could lead to grace a insights into how they think what they say about us. you're watching the w news. next, our documentary series catches up with 2 young women who survived the 2002 in time
