the because line is the detailing, made the, this is dw news live from berlin. you as president joe biden authorizes ukraine to use its long range missiles against russia, and a major policy shift you as part of the invite and the list restrictions on using us made weapons to strike deep inside of rush of the crane is reportedly planning its 1st attacks and the coming days also and the show for us is opposition and exile marches in berlin, calling for an enter the warrant ukraine, and an anti vladimir putin 0 in russia. the

marietta evans dean is good to have you with us. we begin with some breaking news coming in on the war and ukraine, according to multiple media reports us president and joe biden has authorized ukraine to use us supplied long range missiles for strikes deep inside russian. this major policy shift comes after months of requests by ukraine and just 2 months before president elect donald trump takes office. trump has criticized biden's, strong support for ukraine. well, for more we're joined now by dw reporter 7 simons in washington, d. c. and the mission joyce wallet should be standing by for us in the ukrainian capital t, if so, according to media reports, as i just mentioned,

joe biden is apparently going to allow ukraine to launch attacks using these longer range weapons supplied by the united states. why are we seeing this policy shift now? stuff on maybe we can begin with you. well, sure. uh well, that's a good, very good question. uh, i don't have an answer for you. um, not a concrete. and so what i mean by this to say is no confirmation even that this is happening. and that's the binding restriction has shifted longstanding policy on ukraine in its fight against russia by allowing us rep reuse to be deep into the country to rush up to those rock codes. what they're talking about. busy they are, but what we're talking about, they are reaching 306 kilometers into russian territory. that's a, that's quite a bit. so there is no statement from the white house, no comment, nothing from the state department. as of now, this will maybe change it soon later. who knows, but it is quite, of course,

quite a change, a very significant change of longstanding policy of the united states department ministration was pushed and pressure often times to allow this to to happen to allow the ukrainians to use the american weapon rate, which was able to reach fall and hundreds of miles and kilometers into russian territory, and that was always declined. now, it probably is shifting this policy and this just a few weeks before, maybe not even 2 months. uh before uh, no administration takes over that of president elect donald trump. well, stefan, you just mentioned that it's just about 9 weeks, and joe biden is going to be out of his job as president. is it likely that president elect trump will simply undo this policy as soon as he takes office. that would make me speculate. i can tell you with some confidence that the

presidents are for them to like, trump has already promised to. i'm do a, a drove a drove off of measures of the, by the administration via executive orders on his 1st day, 2nd day, 1st week and impala. if this will be also part of the undoing of the by demonstrations policies and political agenda implemented of the last 4 years in internationally or here in the country. that remains to be seen. it is absolutely possible. now, what is the closest fault of what the motivation is for the vitamin expression to allow this? now, it is actually mentioned quite a bit by the observers or experts that the binding restriction is really concerned about. those north korean troops now on the battlefield and being a few 1000 of them still in training, but being brought to the front lines, helping supporting russian troops in their fight against russia. and maybe that has

triggered the uh, the permission or this policy change it of the, by the ministration. also a reason would be it could be a, but again, this is speculating and listening to a few other voices. the expert voice as though it is the massive drone attacks the ukraine has faced in the last few weeks days, just today with the massive drone strikes on the ukraine by the russians. those drones are not launched right at the border close to the border. they are more launched in land in russia, and maybe this is now a chance with permission by the us administration to use those who as weapons add to a target. those drilled batteries further in side, russia. all right, that was dw the stuff on simon's for us. and washington dc stuff and thank you very much i and now we have the line to the w as in the mission address while who is

standing by for us in care of. so the mission of this is a huge shift in policy. the ukrainians have been asking for this for what seems like forever. how has the news been received there? but am i on exactly the ukrainians have been asking for this for months now. and the news has been received joyously at least from the public, from news websites and blog for municipal doesn't across social media channels. we are seeing celebratory announcements about this, this the, the support of which i comes to permission to use attack cms. we had already seen people releasing map of exactly how far into russia these attack them scanned. regional of course, the current reports seem to indicate that this will emission initial mission would be, of course, but these mass already sold the range across russia and also military blog goods here and analyzing that. could this be biden's,

attempt to torpedo any effort by the jump administration to bring a piece that is false, not on keystone spot on them all schools and uh, of course, be believe that in the next 2 months you create a could do a lot with these functions, it does seem that us officials, pink, however, that this will not change the course of the award, at least according to the reports that you're seeing on us media along the way. so maybe if you could tell us a bit more about these weapons and what kind of difference then, could it make for ukraine's war effort, even if some analysts seem to think it really won't be decisive? does ukraine see it the same way? while absolutely the perspective children, ukraine is completely different when it comes to the difference these weapons can make. so the permission right now is about us attack comes to messiahs. these have a range of over 300 kids to all me, to the last for me to dreams of the high mars by the you,

us is about 80 kilometers. and this was also granted in response to russia offensive on cod keith to allow ukraine to defend itself in khaki. now this is steve attack information system because of the force and course can because of the presence of not according to the hold so that you can, can use these long range midsize to hit concentrations of russian and north quoting tool to hit ammunition dep both supply lines as well, and to essentially call do that s what do the dig territory in course and ukrainians believe this is essential because the mortality they can hang on to in course, at the time when tens of thousands of to put it up is being reported in the region, the more they would have to be able to potentially negotiate a trade with russia at a time when negotiations are brought out, if they want ukrainian territory in exchange and support russian petri. another key hope over here, of course, is that your being partners follow suit. we have storm shadow midsize already in ukraine,

from the u. k. we have scouts and besides from france bought the emissions haven't gone through yet. oh, your up in boston has also followed suit when the us allowed for high march to be used. and that's the hope that even if trump decides to do a joint back this one mission in 2 months, your appearance, if the give it right now, we're not told it back of the key point to watch. however, and a reminder to of yours is that the attack comes, have been in ukraine already. you for your now they will, they will force tron sweat actually in response to not cold. you are providing long range, ballistic messiah as to russia, and the permission to use these. it comes with the den ukrainian territories to occupied crimea, and the blacks, the ukraine is already using a cms within occupied time in the black seats. so they've got the key question is how many cms i left and based on that, we'll see how exactly it would be used in the course. and of course you create hopes that permission extends across. oh gosh, as well. and another key hope is that joe many find the johns those much needed. we

need to order some size that have range of 500 kilometers the storm, shadows and scouts. so we can just do 50 kilometers. so an estimate to get deeper and deeper introduction to energy, to thank you so much for that. that was the w's new message as well for us and t of we really appreciate your reporting. well, here in berlin, the russian opposition has held its 1st the major demonstration against russia's invasion of ukraine. the march was organized by opponents of russian president vladimir putin, including julian of all this, the widow of kremlin critic. i'll explain of all me who died in the siberian prison earlier this year. unable to operate at home, the opposition has been forced to re launch abroad, where hundreds of thousands of russians fled and the aftermath of the february 2022 invasion. the double you political correspondence, simon young, was at the protest and he told us more about how the demonstration unfolded on the

streets of berlin. well, as you probably hear, there is a pretty nor easy, and i angry demonstration, hundreds of people. most of them, of course, people of russian origin living in berlin or around germany, lots of decay of leading dissidence to come through the center march through the center lane today to express the wish for a different rush or a free a roster, as they call it and the demons are pretty clear, they say they want to enter the war and ukraine. they say they want to why they may have food to put on file as a war criminal. they want elliptical prisoners who is still in jail, many of them in russia to be released. and as i say, they are, well, they are many different kinds of people from different walks of life with different perspectives, may be the russian organization. so i just make is not united, but they all united to die. that's what the message they want to say, that they are united in their position to vladimir putin and his regime. let's take

a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. has blogs means folks person seeing here speaking earlier this month has been killed and it is really or strike on central babe. route mohammed feasibility had been growing and recent months. as israel expanded its military campaign against the militant of group 11 on a fif is the latest and a string of hezbollah officials to be killed since september super type food mine. he has been battering the philippines with massive title searches and strong winds . is made land fall on the island of cut tons, swans in the countries east, damaging buildings. power lines and operating trees. forecasters are warning of a potentially life threatening situation with winds. gusting of nearly 200 kilometers per hour. in china, a student has killed 8 people and wounded 17 others in

a stabbing attacked. it happened at a college and the eastern city of bushy footage on social media shows a person being detained on campus. police say the suspect went on a rampage after he failed to graduate. well, here in germany, the green party has nominated economic affairs minister, robert ha, back to be. it's candidate for chancellor in the upcoming national election background for the leadership of the party contested. he was introduced by foreign minister on the lena bear box who called him a super pragmatist. the 2 will leave the greens election campaign as a party gets ready for south elections in february. the greens have been holding a national conference and the german 3 of these boston, they're hoping to remain a part of any future coalition government. they're currently 4th in the polls to the w political correspondent,

julius deleon was at the green's conference and she told us more over 96 percent of the green parties delegates have voted for as well. but how big to be the parties, chancellor candidates, the current economy minister and vice chancellor now has his work cut out for him. the parties emerging from a difficult phase with bad results and you elections in june. an equally disappointing ones recently and 3 state elections with a collapse of the government in which he has a minister of a topic now finds himself as the face of a fairly rough campaign with elections as scheduled to happen, likely at the end of february, instead of as planned in september of 2025. now a little but how big is the chancellor candidates of the greens? but that doesn't mean that he is likely to become chancellor. usually pass falls. so the leader of the party that comes in 1st in the elections, but looking at current polls, the greens are far from that pulling at only 11 percent. but how they can deliver is a sufficient amount of votes to allow the greens to join

a coalition government starting from a strong position. and according to what we hear here, the party congress and these buttons with the greens really want is to stay in government. you're up to date on dw news, marietta evans dean, thanks for watching. when i was 8 years old, i was already dreaming of the future as a singer and i wanted to become the hero of my family. his dream was within reach. she'd become a star in turkey overnight. a man took everything from with the help of his family and music. she rebuilt her life and then her sister also became a family scholar by hatred, murder and adult.
