of shane silence, we need to break out of a. i want to tell you something. how to tell the secret starts november 29th on dw, the this is dw news line from berlin, strong reactions in key that, that the german and russian leaders speak for the 1st time in nearly 2 years. for a lot of years, the lensky says a phone call between chancellor schultz and president, putin will only help moscow and it's isolated. also coming up the leader of george's break away region of cause. he says he's ready to step down after demonstrators, storm the parliament demanding his resignation. the, and a warm welcome to viewers around the world. i'm michael. oh,

cool. ukrainian. the president, for a lot of his zalinski, has condemned a phone call between german transel all of schultz and russia's president vladimir putin. during an hour long conversation there 1st and nearly 2 years, shots told putting to end the war and stress german support for ukraine. but keeps as talks with couldn't never lead anywhere on the phone with boots in for the 1st time. in nearly 2 years, the german government said that shouts told his russian, count about to stop as warn you, crane, and stopped talks with keith. but according to moscow state, what to do was clear that any negotiations would have to reflect russia's gains and on the battlefield. despite their disagreements, the criminal welcome to call saying that any dialogue a tool was a positive development. in keith, however, schultz, his action was quickly condemned vinegar. oh, that's cool. in my opinion, opens, pandora's cox. now that maybe haven't conversations of the coals, just

a lot of woods, and this is exactly what fruit and has long wanted. he says something like stream liam told him to reduce his isolation. obviously rough as isolation, this is the let's see what i see. the timing of the coal just days off the shots of coalition government collapse has some thing was politically motivated. this is about the old shots still signaling to the gentleman public that he's still in charge. he's still transfer even if he's a lame duck. and it seems that the main purpose was really to signal to the jam. and i'd like to read more germans that being questioning gemini support for kids with the economy struggling and ukraine on the back foot on the battlefield. thousands turned out for this bullying rally against weapons deliveries. last month until now, jim and a to crane has been substantial without only the us providing more with snap elections now set for february. and schultz is social democrats headed to the

defeat, the shot slipped, maybe hoping that is new winning this to talk to putin will win back versus god's gun. some more i'm joined by dw, corresponded rebecca rivers and keys, and our political correspondent, julia sound daily. who's in responding today? rebecca, i'll start with you president as a lensky gave a radio interview today after schultz has phone call to put in. what did he say? well in that interview here, michael, he said that ukraine really has to do everything possible to try to come to some diplomatic pace or pay through diplomatic means, i should say, within the next 12 months. but he went on to say that he doesn't believe president potent of russia is very serious about pays, but that, that wouldn't mean he wouldn't come to any negotiating table with west and latest. but instead of really looking for pace, who would be using that as a platform to try to sol relationships with those wisdom leaders have launch the

als to table isolated him since the full scale invasion in 2022. now this comes as 24 hours less than 24 hours, even after that phone call that you just heard about there in the report between all i felt of germany and letting me put and it was highly criticized by president to lensky. say it really was no game to ukraine and just handed everything to posing opening the door of the pandora's box. it was he used to fool relations between western late isn't it could lead to more flooring with all the leaders. and of course, that, that benefits only put in and not your crime. and julia, the timing of shelters, call is being read as political with early elections looming for germany. what do you think schultz was hoping to achieve? think on the one hand, looking at the international political situation and especially looking at the re election of donald trump into the white house. so it's may have been thinking that you wanted to, to show some leadership in this situation,

considering also that germany is after the us, the 2nd biggest supporter of ukraine, and that possibly looking at donald trump, wanting to come up or just stop a support for ukraine and possibly pushing for a quick negotiation between booting and ukraine without looking at the price that that would entail for ukraine in terms of the territory in terms of a security guarantees that so it's might want to contribute to try to steer this confrontation and hopefully supporting ukraine in this too, but this also has a lot to do with internal driven politics. we're looking at elections in 3 months and it shows it's trying on the one hand to cater to voters that do not want the support ukraine, who want this war to end as soon as possible with whatever consequences. and he's also catering to internally to people in his party were also skeptical about continued support for ukraine. and he's therefore trying to win back support for himself as the main candidate for his party,

but also for its party itself with motors, a delicate game. their rebecca shultz is overture to put and comes days after us president electronic called zelinski. how hopeful our officials and keep that the incoming us administration will maintain american support. one calais seems to be 2 schools of sold and 2 series. of course, nobody knows exactly what the 2nd trump trump presidency is going to look like that may not be the ve, the ukraine, russia war, but there is these two's, you know, schools of thought suddenly internationally, but also here in key even in ukraine. and of course, one of the peasant mistake is that of a fee that trump will force, basically ukrainian capitulation by withdrawing support and forcing ukraine to the negotiating table at a very design by this advantageous position. but there's a growing now the school of thought and that is one the presidents. and he seems to be subscribing to whether that's because he really believes it, or it's just

a pragmatic approach. now that trump is headed to the white house, and that is that in fact, it could benefit ukraine in some ways, the trump, who has promised to end the war within 24 hours, may in fact lead to a hastening of the end of the war. and that certainly what a lot of minutes and then he said in an interview last night saying he believes that the will will end sooner under a trump winehouse, then it has with the bite and white house. you know, you kind, becoming increasingly frustrated. the fact that the button a administration hasn't allow them to, for example, use long range weapons in russian territory and, and other things like that, holding them back, leaving them in a style night. so there is some hope growing, but that at least see some change and that that change will be positive for ukraine and positive pace. of course, nobody wanting pays more than the finance julia. we should mention you are at a gathering of germany's green party, which is choosing new leaders ahead of what looked like early elections. are they still committed to back in new chris?

from all the things that we've heard here at the party congress? yes, they are. we've heard that coming from the new up co leaders that are being elected right now, but also coming from the green party members who are in government for a minister. i don't. and a bad book and vice chancellor a little, but comics we've heard on the babel say she wants to continue and even increase support for you frame. and she said that a last thing and just piece there is more important than the absence of war. and on the other hand to about how big saying that, yes, the greens are a party of peace, but they are also a party of freedom. and that, that germany and the green party as a responsible party in the past 3 years in government. and hopefully for them also in the future. oh is it to you frame to continue to support it and defend the sovereignty? and we'll leave the last word at that to julia cell deleon. these bonded and

rebecca readers in keys many 60 bucks. let's take a brief look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. more than half a 1000000 people in the philippines have left their homes ahead of the 6 major storm, distract the country in the past month. forecast or say super type food money could have a catastrophic impact. with winds up to 240 kilometers per hour. it's set to make land phone on sunday. at least 10 newborn babies have died and within a dozen weren't injured after fire swept through a neo natal intensive care unit in northern india. another baby remains missing. authorities are investigating the cause of the plays prime minister and arrange a mode he has expressed use condolences officials in pakistan's couldn't job province have declared a health emergency over toxic small schools and colleges must close with a walk down imposed on 2 of the regions biggest cities, air pollution in pockets,

a us long john and has reportedly left the capital and is now in the his village hometown where he's housing the meetings with the cabinet. he saw that he was indeed ready to uh, to lease uh, the cabinet. however, he is issuing sort of the ultimatum it's. he's saying that he's asking, demanding that the pro testers should clear the presidential palace and some of the government buildings that have already been captured by the protesters. but the opposition seems to be demanding an eastern and all the ultimate and saying that the president has to resign unconditionally and immediately so or more protests. in fact, expected it all depends on how successful the detox to president

will be able in retaining the power and whether he's going to move on to sort of, you know, cracking down on those protests or not. it is also we understand that uh the president uh uh, spoke to some russian states me to daniela's. and she was asked about the speculations that uh, some people from pollutants administration might be coming top. kazi, on her responded, we will see we'll wait and see. so it's unclear still his faith, his political site. uh, it seems like the position is not ready to give up either. but it's also important to mention that these pro tasks are not sort of a claim, devise a position to be anti russian. and the experts also share that sort of his back to the address is all about the sort of preserving the economic

sovereignty on the given that of causes a highly of alliance politically on russia, it seems like a casual position wants to retain some sort of economics or attempt to protect their local businesses in the face of the agreement that could endanger um many local businesses that it seems you're suggesting. there's a lot of nuance to this story and surely there is. but when you look at this entire situation and how it's evolving, would you say that there was a sign here that bosco's grip hung up, cause it is. in fact, lucian, as well. i've caused you guys isolated by the rest of the world. the only i live that a project has, is, has got, is only, you know, most go and russia is a sort of, has a very powerful presence of kazi, a is relied heavily economically on, on the kremlin. but also russia is security guarantees for the break away republic

that for tool with a georgia in the ninety's and claimed itself independence. i know russell, it's sort of seem as a substitute to guarantee in case georgia wants to sort of take control over its territory. and it's also will be interesting to see how um, of causes. we'll be able to resist the pro russian post as the kremlin. it has been pushing over the past few years, very actively in the region. but we see that there is a sort of they are showing people are showing the resistance to that, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they don't want to be with russia anymore. unders understood that so dw corresponded to where you cut them out. so in riga, many 6, just before you go, here's a reminder of our top story. german transel of charles has told russia's presidential up vladimir putin to end the war in ukraine. the 2 leaders have spoken
