the, the, you're watching, do you know the news coming to live from berlin, from the backend for ukraine, from the us and its allies? presidents will let them hear zalinski and joe biden sign a long term security agreement. and a g 7 leaders agreed to fund ukraine using frozen russian assets, unlocking billions of dollars. also coming up on the show, dw follows and a lead to unit task with defending new brains. waterways, as they contend with mind. drones and equipment shortages and anticipation bills ahead of the euro. 2024 opener after several disappointing tournaments hosts germany are hoping for a strong start against scotland. the

i'm quite richardson. welcome. the u. s. and ukraine have signed a 10 year bilateral security agreement on the sidelines of the g. 7 summit in italy, ukrainian president for a lot of years. lensky said the password protect not just his country, but the world from russian aggression. g. 7 leaders also backed a multi $1000000000.00 deal to use the in for us from frozen russian assets to help ukraine strengthen its defenses and pay for reconstruction. the need is that the weld 7 involves democracies and the european union sorted out and emergency power shoot for ukraine on day one of the g 7 leaders summit in italy. they agreed to use the interest generated by russian central bank funds that have

been frozen in european banks to create to $50000000000.00 loan facility, full ukraine. but yeah, we're not talking about the confiscation of these. i sent that if the interest of a cruise over time they sample statement on our finance minister. so now what can you off the mechanisms? one does the same cloud of size. it is a key assigned to the russian president. these is also, if he cannot simply sit this meta out and hope that he will be able to win this walk in there because of physical problems in some countries that are currently supporting your trains. and he won't. ukraine's president below them is lensky was invited to attend the 3 day summit. he signed a 10 year security agreement with united states, which includes greater intelligence, sharon, we didn't treat training weapons manufacturing. our goal is to transfer you cranes, credible defense in deterrence capabilities for the long term. a lasting peace for

ukraine must be underwritten by ukraine's own ability to defend itself now and to deter future aggression. any time in the future, savanski calls the agreement historic and hates. it will secure ukraine's place in nato. the, the issue of the to is covered through the text of the room. you see the sports, you raise future. huge matters to me and recognizes that ours is a reach to you, produce major matters. you of the g 7 lead is a standing firm against russia now, but it's not clear how united they will be. if nato as big as back to the us gets a new president, one who is not so willing to support ukraine. i spoke earlier

to our correspondent nick connelly interiors. i asked him how this security agreement will help you crane what, but as you heard, so then ski the in the piece, he was going this a bridge to full later membership. this is not the same thing as a cost on security guarantee from the us. if you creating some time in the future were to be attacked again by russia. the disagreement sets out a mechanism for security consultations with the us side. there is no requirement that the us come to ukraine's aid. as the case with nato allies, there is still calls training of getting ukraine's elements and nature standards, improving and developing ukraine's defense production base. so that can produce more of its own weapons and become less dependent on foreign support as well. so a tool of reform and why does sense getting governance to a state where ukraine is also able to act more nimbly and more effectively. so lots of nice promises an attempt to trying to, i'm just gonna add port corporation. we seem to be in the us timeframe the last few

years in something more secure. so something more long term that would it was a try to look in the future units. patients even ones like a trumpet ministration that are likely to be less than 2 is actually about sorting ukraine. but it is not something that you can kind of rely on think there's a real attempt here to get away from the kind of have community to be. so at last is nature summit in vilnius weapons. let's give was very disappointed was briefing was going on. switzer complaining about not getting a romance, agent membership. there's a lot of anger between western capital's and key of over that very public split. this is an attempt to kind of smooth over here, but i think it's important to recognize why the brand names are so keen on they to membership back in the ninety's, they gave up the nuclear weapons that they had inherited from the soviet union on the guarantees from the us, from russia, from the u. k. in other countries that the few crane woods be attacked that they would be supported in the territorial integrity, the silver and fee would be protected. those guarantees proved to be pretty much useless, and they are seen from t of the only thing that can really secure. this comes to see to is full nature memberships sometime down the line. indeed, nick, let's talk for

a moment about that agreement with a g 7 summit to lend you paying 50000000000 dollars using interest on frozen russian assets. what exactly will this go toward? what will ukraine be able to spend the money on? so there are lots of details. glad that we still don't understand. that seems to be a lot of technical negotiation still ahead till the interview between different countries because of total. most of this, frozen russian cache is in your know, in united states and european countries all very wide this they were to go and confiscate save this money rather than just taking the interest that that would damage the attractiveness therapy in banking system. so that could be lots of legal problems down the line. initially it had seemed like the ukraine would just get those that interest me are 3. so 1000000000 zeros of dollars every year, rather than this lump sum, which will now be taken as a loan. and that paid back with the interest so that you can get some more money in a hurry. what is going to be spent on? we don't know yet that had been told that it would be restricted to rebuilding

efforts, but us source is now saying that this could also be used for ministry spending. just to give you a sense of the scale. this cash at ukraine is you're not receiving any promise, 50000000000 euros by that you of a full years of this. if it really turns out to be a workable model, would be the same amount of cash in one year that it had, you know, expected from the you of a full. so this really is a big deal for ukraine disability to pay his bills. next. thank you. so much for bringing us up to speed there. that is an economy for us in cuba. and digging deeper on this, i also earlier spoke to cloudy out schumacher head of the center for geo politics, as you can nomics and technology at the german council on foreign relations. i asked her if there's a $50000000000.00 loan to grant is as historic as bite and has described this. it's absolutely, it was very important for the to 7 summits to provide unity with regard to ukraine because this is what everyone is looking at. and they have been a lot of discussions and conflicts about how to provide this kind of loan. i do

have an agreement even before the summit started to politically me meant it was just said, we need to figure out the details and the legal details. but to have this unity to have a zone biology 7 summit, this is really historic and an important signal to russia and to the cream. let's get a little bit into the details. if i may, some were watching this are probably asking why is this just the interest? why wasn't it possible to just hand over frozen russian assets at to ukraine? would that have also been an option available? well, this topic was pushed a lot by the united states, but they had been disagreement between european countries and united states. the majority of the issue of, of the acid is in europe. the problem is that these are, these are concerns. we cannot just size russian ethics, this would be good and this is why european countries were so hesitant to do that.

and this is why we have this kind of compromise that was taken to use the interest on the profits of pros and central bank asses. and this is something whether you p and countries can go with. so, so using the assets would have been illegal. i'm looking at this decision, it to just make the interest available. i'm wondering whether you think this step alone could perhaps deepen distrust that you see, particularly among some countries in the global south that, that the west is weapon isaac, the financial system, as this is a question that needs to be considered very carefully. and this is also why it was decided not to use the assets because the banking system was seen something that is neutral. that is, it cannot be weaponized. and this is why we have this kind of compromise, that we only use the interest on the profit as collectively about the dangers there . and you think that will put the minds at ease, that it's just the interest that's being used. i think it's a very good compromise. i'm not sure with these all the mines, but i think it's,

it's the best that we can have. and it's important that we have this kind of raymond, a for the clean. okay, let's talk a little bit more about rebuilding we. we know ukraine's recovery costs have risen . 824868 1000000000 euros according to the world bank. and we're now when we talking about deal is addressing a fraction of that. where, where is money going to come to come from to help rebuild ukraine? you mean you come in coming from this low? and then we have also individual countries in having supporting the crate and we have in burden the claim recovery conference. so countries are really trying to figure out how to support how supported support your brain, but it's important to do 7 as a group also gives this kind of blown. okay, i want to turn now to the g 7. generally we're seeing increases like the g 7 with

these world leaders meeting together in italy are, are the best way to deal with these pressing global problems? did you 7, a long time the did you 7 isn't important for the living to do it? no, me. well, we see more and more fragmentation, and the g 7 is a group of like minded countries, that she a common goals and values. so these have democratic countries, these are countries that have mike economies and they share these goals that they want to support the ukraine. so it's important that you 7 come together. but as you mentioned, we do have folded problems that you 7 itself cannot solve anymore. and therefore, we need a lot of outreach it to be invited to a lot of countries to join the summit. we also need other forms. we still have to do 20, we have international organizations. so these have and cannot solve everything. but if this group is united and can send a strong signal to conflict or to global problems, this is already important. but thank you so much for joining us with your insights

today. that is a claudia shamika with the german council on foreign relations. thank you so much. now in ukraine leads military units play a crucial part in defending waterfront lines such as low as along the new pro river and the black sea. but that is more complicated than defending the front on the west and requires specialist skills and equipment. dealt these cabinets from white joint one maple unit during their training. they were ambushed by a russian drone with a local height. the boat was the faucet. the shop. this is elizabeth, take question. a russian throne. it's threatening us. no, it's just in front of us. what started as an exercise has become now a serious situation. so a 3rd way of tracking the drone. we have to move the russians know how important piece training sessions are to ukraine's forces. ukraine has a nearly 600 kilometer water of order that needs to be defended against the russian

aggression. this is why special units like this one are crucial for ukraine's military. despite this being a training exercise conditions to simulate the real case scenario. and given the fact that the countries of war are real attached can happen anytime they know why they are a target. naval special forces units are tasked with defending ukraine, slaughter, borders or c on the 1st. and most of the russian fleet could defend box thousands of troops anywhere along the coast line. but the, if we don't have the appropriate weapons and personnel, they, the russians could, occupies the cities like odessa. what the good thing you quite know from the black sea, the motor citizen, the total amount of our strategic routes passed through the sea was we can't win the ball without access to the black sea. but we have to keep control of this region. one of the people, the control and the theater here on of the unit also includes

stivers risk. their lives in walters, littered with my boots on this to day. but i will just because i should put the we divers, need the better equipment. you can do text mines and minimize underwater time in enemy territory who wants to adjust it for an inspection means are only short range requiring close proximity to the enemy. it was beautifully done this before the duels for longer under water travel to avoid putting our boats at risk, not by suv, spend, but a selection them through the with the some of these men were involved in liberating snake island. i'm to fight for my you pull. one told us he survived the mine fields, only to be caught by the russians. and this valley they asked the russians, knew everything about me. a rank found the position in unit 2 to this. this one is the village and we were treated specially subjected to torture. always i realize it

doesn't mean show our enemy has no humanity, myers on the mercy. in my own. i returned to the i was determined to fight again and stuff and there's no way of knowing the human body can withstand incredible things and then we're going to get a chance. these men are young, committed to an extremely motivated, but they see they are not enough as the thoughts of doing things in order to change the course of this large scale or to keep much, much more effort is needed and will have to be some leadership of our country globbed in such as for example, i think that was a new law and mobilization lot just nothing but is there not enough people? why do we have losses? and that was the time no longer talking about our troops. only uncle about the entry, he's telling me that we have lost his thought. it. these men might be the sharp tip of the ukrainian armed forces. yet they worry that without more and better weapons and smoke people behind them all this could be in vain. caroline,

it's more reporting you can bring you up to speed. now with some other world news stories, american journalist of a dark ritual stand trial and russia for espionage. the wall street journal reporter was in the country reporting on ukraine when he was arrested in march last year and accused of spying for the c. i. a. he and his publication have denied the charges, which the white house says have 0 credibility. these riley army says it killed 2 people during a raid and the occupied westbank. if that soldiers that surrounded a house in the town of a cup of tea, a and exchanged fire with gunmen inside palestinian medical authorities, that is really troops also kills a 3rd person. nearby. thousands of brazilians talked to the streets to protest a controversial bill being debated in congress. the law if passed would equate abortion with homicide. women who terminate a pregnancy after 22 weeks could face jail sentences of up to 20 years, including in cases of rape or the bodies of 45 indian migrant

a fire. it was that the volume great. the officials say they will investigate the costs of the fire trouble. we will address the issue of labor over crowding. i'm now going to see what violations were committed to, and i won't deal with the owner of a property that i just said i'm on. what am i that over crowded, the residential building, so not on the usual in the one of the richest countries in the world. the 3rd so far away its population of migrants who are often low paid and leaving over crowded accommodations. something indian politicians called out in the wake of the fire. this tragedy is reminder of a total probations. our margaret was under go in the efforts to support that families who when engine workers are sent abroad, they must have contractual assurances of decent conditions of life. what pay and residence before they leave our shows. as the investigation into the fires coast continues, the office of india's prime minister has promised payments of 2200 ears to fire

victims next of kin us. and we have some more world news headlines for you. now. i've got to sounds northern provinces are facing a severe infestation of some of rock and locust for the 2nd year running the area produced as much of the countries food and the outbreak poses a significant threat to food security. it is the result of several factors including crowns, overgrazing and for monitoring. heavy rains have caused flooding and eastern india's west bank. all state roads and property were damaged and trees were uprooted. torrential rains frequently trigger flash floods and lance lights in india's mountainous regions. the country is also experienced and unusually hot summer, exacerbated by climate change. scientists, authorities in honduras destroyed over 5 tons of cocaine seized an anti drug offer asians. earlier this year, a team of military police set fire to the narcotics and the field outside the hunger and capital to goose casa. the public prosecutor's office said that most of

the hall had been found in the caribbean sea and excitement, his growing and anticipation of the opening of the european football championships . here in germany, except to kick off and munich with scotland playing the hosts, the scottish fans, and preparing for the match by typing in their pride as their team gets ready to take on germany, the fans elsewhere in the country including of the capital berlin are also waiting for the weeks long euro 2024 competition to get underway. but there is something of a shadow over the host team. after 3, disappointing tournaments of germany's head coach usually on it, and that as man is aiming for a better performance. this time around, all fans are hoping that the home advantage will help them thousands of fence gather towards germany at an open training session. it's exciting, built around the country. ahead of 02024 goes on is going

to reach the guy. so when say to germany is generally going through the end, thinking about tournaments and how much bit seattle even more. so one's on home. so it was a fund, so we have a great responsibility for the mood in the country over the next few weeks. and then next, and i go home and of course we want to make sure our performances on the field today, and we'll have a positive impact uh, the dentist of them, especially after the last few tournaments or some splits here. i don't think that's into a new the close who stepped back from the national team in 2021 is back playing for gemini, and is viewed as one of the key to gets to his team. the 6th time attempting to the gwinnett is known to be a mentor for more experienced players like program visits or what others. both are playing the 1st it's investments. ornaments. beyond that, you see this be the idea. we have a lot of players who haven't played it to people who are missing, let alone a home tournament, and us into those adults you own. and these are special situations. i think it's always important to give them a certain amount of support and security and with your behavior on and off the

pitch rate and also have fundamental health in plots. that is this one. so at the end of the day, there's no guns. we need enough players to function in order to be successful. could news be low default and yet i'm, i flexible. both germany's defense and detective recently improved. however, to keep the money and know it has made mistakes and the reason friend lease. but the message from his team is one of the unity and support this is always on the display of these posts. we'll know that we're very spoiled in this position. that we have a certain close of choices on the and the man who is a player who else is go out and standing correspond with and gives every team incredible support for on this on them. see them on self closing bonds includes a gift. jimmy looked like they on the way to becoming you will open a scene despite the number of young players. they'll be hoping for an easy winning

the opening game against girlfriends and friday evening and was successful some of the football on home territory. and already been here in the studio to talk about the start of euro 2024. we have had good for us from d, w. sports haggard. let's start with the host. what do you think? germany's chances are this year? well, usually you would think that the host will have that home advantage, right? you would imagine that they will be one of the favorites, but with germany, it's kind of tricky right now and it's been so for the past couple years, it's been quite tricky for them as a team has been under performing since the 2018 woke up. so it's been 3 big tournaments that germany have not really excelled, and they've lost that support that they used to enjoy back in the day from from the fence. but what jeremy does half as we just saw in that report is a mix of young townsend players like so, mine will see all a and so and it's along with experience players and older players like 20 calls to miss miller. and i know, yeah, those 3 players were part of the 2014 squad. that one the world cup. so they,

they do have the quality, they know what it takes to win a big tournaments. so maybe that that will be able to, to help them out. the opening match would really be the deciding factor really again, scotland tonight. um, that's just, uh, it will really set the tone and extremely can get a positive result and they can build on that. get the support from the fans, and then we can see them probably get far if they do that, there's so much pressure on them that in this opening match to, to get things off to a good start. aside from germany, are there any teams that you have your island in this tournament? well, i'm not much of a gambler really. what have you looked at the bidding houses? they are considering germany a, but i'm only the top 3, but along with them or in even better on our friends in england, really. and it's not hard to see why am you friends being a finally so the last woke up not really losing losing on penalties. against argentina and friends have been producing world class players a year after year counting my pay who will be he's just $25.00. really. he's quite

a young player, but he's one pretty much almost everything with france and he will be captain in front of this tournament. and he's missing a year, the year of the year, a title, so you can expect him to be motivated for this. also england. they reach the last uh, final of the, the last term of the, the euros in 2021. and a lot of the players that were part of that squad will be taking part of this tournament so they will have something to they will want to show the world but they're made out of. so those are the 2 big fan is friends in english as well as germany of mentions, of course is not just the games, right? it's also the on the on. so this has been such a long time coming so many people waiting. how big of a party do you think we're going to see here in germany? well, you got to take a look back at the last the major minutes football tournament in germany, which was the 2006 woke up, which was a great success. it was a great party. and it wasn't really a great success for germany in the sense of winning the title, but that's kind of like the memory that's in a lot of people's minds in the country. it was finally remembered. it's finally remembered as a great great party, great tournaments. and it was mainly because uh,

you know, that was great weather back then. um, the football was great and there was a very relaxed atmosphere and it really united the country ever since germany were given the height, the, the rights to host this tournaments in 2024. there's been comparisons, couldn't live up to the expectations of that term, ends in 2006. we live in different times now, politically, economically, especially in germany. it's a poor i society nowadays. so if football can't really unite the country, it's down to see, but you can only see that uh as long as the football. right. and if they can get the results, as mentioned. okay, talking about even more pressure building up on the german national team. i go, thank you so much for breaking that down for us. that is eco, for us from w sports. and a quick reminder of our top story. presidents joe biden envelope and there's a wednesday, have signed 810 years security agreements designed to bolster ukraine's defenses. it came after g 7 leaders agreed to use the interest from hundreds of billions of dollars and pros in russian assets to help ukraine purchase weaponry.
