12:00 pm
advice and excellent job opportunities starts in new jersey now on korea's for germany dot com the . this is the w news live from the land president joe biden approves ukraine's use of us miss solve to strike inside russia. it is a major policy you ton, so the outgoing bite and administration ukraine's president lensky says the missiles will speak for themselves. a russian official says it's a step towards world war 3. that means attention tends to allied partners, including germany's olaf shorts. the question is, will he now reconsider sending german made tourist missiles to ukraine for use against russia? also coming up on the program, slicing woods from north korea's leda children and calls for
12:01 pm
a limitless expansion of his nuclear programs. and the big and military accounts to the united states, the money keeps mccain. welcome to the program. president joe biden says ukraine can use us supplied missiles to strike the put inside russia. the concession knocks a major policy shift by the outgoing bite and administration. ukraine has long been pressing for permission to use us weapons such as the army tactical missile system, or attack them. this has been known and all the west and supplied alms to hit the military targets inside russia. president elect donald trump, is criticized biden's, strong support for ukraine. to you, friends,
12:02 pm
president let him is. lensky did not directly concern or deny he'd received any such permission for from joe biden, as he addressed the training and people on sunday belong pursuing your plan to strengthen ukraine is a victory plan, or i presented it to our partners. yeah, one of its main points is to equip our army with long range capabilities. today, there was a great deal of discussion in the media about us receiving permission for these actions. but strikes are not made with words. these matters are not announced. the missiles will speak for themselves, simon said, but scoffers and we're joined now by retired us army, lieutenant general, ben hodges, the former commander of the us army in the year, attend religious. it's a pleasure to have you with us as always come, i stopped by offering you what's best will feel difference will be attack comes. this is a tactical ballistic missiles make this
12:03 pm
will enables the ukraine to strike russian and north korean headquarters, logistics, and artillery. that will help disrupt russian preparations for their attack, their counter against the ukrainian bridge here in the course. that'll be the immediate technical benefit which will undermine the russian advantage in mass. the 2nd difference it'll make, of course, and you've alluded to it in the, in the run up to this phase is that it opens the door for u. k. and france to allow storm shadow in scale and increases pressure on germany to reconsider it's a very restrictive policy about taurus. the 3rd impact of course, strategically is that this tells the russians that the united states, we're not turning our back and ukraine and that their hope that we would just quit
12:04 pm
is going to fail. so you see the a tompkins and essentially effectively countering rushes, recent battlefield advances. well, the low range precision is a capability that can render or they can degrade the only russian advantage, which is mass. so when you have large numbers of troops, the way the russians in the north koreans do, they have to have headquarters. they have to have artillery and rocket fired to enable their advance. and then obviously you need the logistics, so you have munitions. so with long range precision, you can destroy all 3 of those, which significantly degrades rushes ability to continue gets me grinder tactics so that this is there's no one will happen that changes everything. but this is an important capability that ukraine has long needed. and looking at things from the
12:05 pm
ukranian side, housing using ukraine will use these missiles, specifically, what will keep strategy be here? they, of course, the, even though the by the ministration is finally agreed to allowing ukraine to use these. they still have restrictions. they have restricted it to the course rich had a area i'm sure of ukrainians would love to be able to go after russian air fields and other places from which the russians are launching these endless attacks against innocent ukrainian civilians and the ukrainian power grid. but at least if they are restricted to use in the vicinity of the course ridge here, they can still disrupt russian and north korean preparations for their counter attack against the ukrainians. and course this, by the way, we'll also send the message to you on yeah, that if you want to send troops over here to help russia, they're going to start seeing the numbers of casualties amongst north korean troops
12:06 pm
. the russians have been experiencing, you just alluded to the fact that, uh, the us has wasted a long time until it allowed ukraine this capability. so let's talk about the timing. why is this happening now? of course, i don't know exactly where i am now. of the administration which has done so many good things for ukraine has failed. unfortunately in the critical task of clearly identifying that they want ukraine to actually win. and if you don't have a clearly identified strategic objective, then you end up with a lot of bad policy, which is what has happened in the case of the, by the ministration. i think this as a result of a continued excess of fear their rush or might somehow escalate to use a nuclear weapon. and i think there's almost 0 chance of rush or use a nuclear weapon because there's no benefit for russia to actually use or to follow
12:07 pm
through on their threats. now, why did that just happen? i think this is, this has been something under consideration for a long time. perhaps this was done in response to the recent surge and russian air attacks against ukrainian cities whatever the reason this is a gift for president biden, the president trump, because the policy will already be in effect. and then the trump administration can choose to leave it in place or not, which is much better than hoping that the trump administration might change the policy. you just mentioned the issue of nuclear weapons. you'll saying that you don't see that as a huge risk, but let's talk about the risks. you know, how risky is it? so ukraine to stripe deep into russian territory with these weapons as well. again, the, the administration has continued to put restrictions on ukraine that so you print
12:08 pm
and not use them just anywhere. but, i mean, the credit has been hit and russian, uh, oil and gas separate structure. they've even hit the airport outside of moscow. so i see these russian threats as just that threats. the fact that they would come out and say that this is a step closer to world war 3. that's in, that's information targeting us administration and also berlin. trying to scare us from doing what needs to be done to help ukraine. the russians know that there are they get 0 benefit, 00 upsides for them. if they use of nuclear weapons, china has said don't use it. india has said, don't use it. germany has said, don't use a divide administration has promised that there would be catastrophic consequences if they use a nuclear weapon. so i think there's nothing good for the russians if they use it. and they see that the constant threats of using it has actually worked for them. so
12:09 pm
the ukrainians, whatever weapon systems they have, you know, they've got to be able to defend themselves. and that means going after the places from which air and muscle attacks are being launched to kill innocent ukrainian civilians every day. and also going after the russian oil and gas up restructure, which is what pays for rushes, continue to aggression against ukraine. ben hutchins retired us army, lieutenant general. thank you so much for your time and see your insights today. we appreciate it. thanks for the privilege. a. l. u foreign ministers, amazing and brussels to discuss the find the item has given ukraine the go ahead to use us missiles in russia ahead of the me saying you foreign policy chief transit burrell said he hopes, member states will follow washington's lead and will allow ukraine to use weapons
12:10 pm
provided fully the use to strike inside russia. germany's foreign minister, melina bab stressed that your joints position has not officially shifted. but she indicated that ukraine should be allowed to defend itself by taking pre emptive measures to protect itself as gave them yes. what's the scheme from this is about protecting our freedom and security in europe. we have always thorley examined every decision and always made it clear that we act together as one europe. he's also in this question. we have always been led by the principal of acting together with our european partners. they have a clear position. it is the position that i've shared for a long time. i said it makes it clear that self defend this protecting one's own people does not mean waiting until terror is at the door. but taking pre emptive protective measures, kind of every country would do this. to me, this is just a further development of what we've already seen by the end victims. we should
12:11 pm
therefore not allow ourselves to be unsettled by the comments coming out of russia . one student is consciously playing off our fears in europe, guns, but we have to make it clear that we are stronger than fear. we are european force for peace. you have no peace of cost for c. d, w, correspond to raise the but chart is following the foreign ministers missing in brussels for us. and she told us earlier how european countries are reacting to the us decision on expanding ukraine's missile use. well i be increasing ministers about this on their way into these talks and we have quite a few countries expressing positive thoughts about it. welcoming the move of from the netherlands. for example, from lithuania bots, i should say was a degree of caution. and that's because what the minister stressed to me is that they don't yet have exact detail on whether restrictions have to be listed which restrictions if they lifted on it, which parts of which tire tree essentially. and that's why they're being hesitating,
12:12 pm
as one was the way the minister said to be. he's hesitating before he popes the champagne corks, know different european countries. it's up to them to decide which weapons they deliver to ukraine and on what terms. and that means there are different positions across this block, and i think the ones to really watch, particularly in this room, is from because front like the united kingdom. no you member. but a key european ally of ukraine has long range capacities, long range missiles, which is donated to you craven has so far at those restrictions. so if you don't place in terms of striking deep inside russian territory, there that has been in some way in the past linked by those countries to us technology. and so therefore, this reported us decision codes paved the way for front of the united kingdom to also ease their own restrictions. thoughts. there's no car to year there yet. then i specifically asked francis ford minister. will you follow this move? he said something they are considering, but that there is no,
12:13 pm
there's nothing new to report so far though when it comes to germany. i think what ford minister, i don't mean a bare bulk statement seem to suggest is that there is disagreement on this topic among german coalition members. because so far, germany has held off on providing a long range missiles to create despite the fact that germany as a whole is one who craves biggest military backers. 6 now dro buttons reported authorizations of mrs. sol use could put the war in ukraine and shot. so cuz of the g 20 summit in brazil, which begins on monday. well, leaders including the german trump lot went off. charlotte are attending the 2 day summit and reared engineering. charlotte has previously ruled out allowing ukraine to use drummond supplied missiles to strike targets inside russia. but president fight and shifting policy could well re ignite this debates. and we can get more from the positive on chief political correspondent, nina,
12:14 pm
the german chancellor has always been steadfast, hasn't he and his refusal to send high tech taurus christmas cells to ukraine with this shift from the us. so is there any tron slip for all its might now change his mind. so yeah, so i've so as has always ruled out delivering taurus cruise missiles to ukraine, why is everybody so focused on this question? well, the torres cruise missiles is simply the best system out the as states as the ox with a very, very long range, 500 kilometers. so this is a crucial question why ukrainians have long asked for the system and to be allowed for use on russian territory. but if you remember debates about other weapon systems of high collective tanks, offshore is always used to insist that he'd only do it if partners were going to take similar steps. and in the case of taurus, we've always heard him say, no full stop. and from what i've started, his perspective that simply is
12:15 pm
a risk that the systems range is so big that ukrainians could use it to send me solves flying through kremlin windows in the left. so it's doesn't want that. does that mean that he doesn't trust ukrainian presidency? lensky? he's been offset several times. he's always said, no, i do trust and box. and there is that risk that the shows doesn't want to see in reality. and apparently there's also another reason that using the tories is so highly complex that if tell me where to deliver the system, the gym and armed forces would be left with gaps at home. now will also is this position change now that the americans are paid to change cost? not today. it seems we had the chad women of the social democrats from left to is this policy today who repeated that it's a no from germany. but what we are also hearing is that germany will now stop supplying some 4000 a ice, did drones that go by the nickname of many tours. and that delivery apparently is going to start in december,
12:16 pm
so unmanned drones that could also target russian military infrastructure. okay, so a know from germany you're saying right now, but if the u. k and others follow biden's decision in germany would essentially be left quite isolated. so is that still seen as the best option then all the offshore it's, you know, going back on his would as well. all of so it's really is very proud of this label that he's been given that he's the courses town slow when it comes to supporting your grading. so supporting ukraine to defend itself. yes, that's a no steps that would encourage escalation. all of that would encourage russia to see germany as a direct talk. it's under the enemy. and frankly, i can see some arguments that will i feel as could use now to justify change of position is phone call was put in last week, rushed as heavy a tax following that north korean involvement on the ground, etc. but he is very proud of this label of being costs is waiting things up tacitly
12:17 pm
. and what he does stress is that germany is ukraine's 2nd most important support in terms of military humanitarian, financial, economic aid, worldwide, and europe strongest. and that lot wouldn't change. and he says that those discussions about individual weapon systems, i'm not the most important ones to be had. now, jimmy's role as a supporter of ukraine will become even more important. of course one stone trump takes over in the us in january with the us currently the most important supporter of ukraine. and that is interestingly, also not going to change if life shows does not get re elected in germany in february. and the conservatives who are currently leading in the polls for those, not the elections that are also very pro ukraine, and they have shown themselves more open to delivering tours missiles to ukraine. on that point, nina, germany's of the main policy support this idea of sending taurus missiles to ukraine. so what are the german people think as well?
12:18 pm
i had to look around. so recent polls and the most recent one that i could find on this topic was from march. they see it so it's not the most recent biggest, but the most reliable ones that come from more than 8 months ago. it was some 61 percent. where on the german chancellor aside, 60 percent of german saying the country should not a live a taurus cruise missiles to ukraine, but of course the situation has changed since then. russia is still not showing any signs of willingness to stop the attacks against ukraine. and here in germany, the voices of people are demanding instant negotiations, which would mean helping resar achieve some of its goal. those voices have grown louder in the meantime. so the situation has become even more desperate for ukraine and the policies that you've mentioned that conservatives the greens in particular, they are more convinced than ever that russia must not get through with this behavior. and because it would potentially set a very bad example,
12:19 pm
well like that as a big powers such as russia, you can simply go and see smaller countries territories. nina, thank you so much for that. looks like she finished correspondent nina here invalid on sunday, supposes of the russian or position demonstrated against russia's invasion of ukraine. the riley was led by prominent exiled kremlin opponents, including uli and of all my of the widow. as most goes, most vocal critic, alexa, nevada, ne, in the rush. so we down boots in a plea, a push for change back, kind driven out by severe repression. 3 of the most well known and exiled russians came together in the media scrum to march 3. berlin. you'll get an oven now. uh, we go up to like kremlin creek. i like saying the valley or not the side of the flooding. me kyra mussa and julia yashimi dissidents,

free totally get this here from prison. die lead around 1500 people in the 1st major russian, and he will march abroad since pollutants full scale invasion of ukraine. almost 3 years ago, thousands of russians fled to europe in the optima. we want the why to stop, we want to cancel when we want a russia to stop being a threats for one of the route. i want us to have a, an opportunity to speak. uh, not to be afraid. i want democracy in russia. i want. i want to normal elections in russia. uh, i want a free country. despite the show of unity here, rushes exiled opposition has no clear plan to actually try and, and bruce ins rising. it's played by bees are in fighting, which is ramped up since leader and freak ahead elect sign. developing died in a russian prison camp in february. i have no illusion about the degree of good,
12:21 pm
you know, i do need to united. so for us in opposition, of course, uh, there are some disagreements and different approaches uh, different ideas. but we agree on main points on may things that process aggression . i guess ukraine must cease and russian troops must leave ukraine immediately. but many ukrainians accuse exiled russians of having been too quiet for too long and not doing enough to supports them. ukraine's ambassador to germany cold sundays, march, a walk without dignity, and without consequences. the demonstration dismissed by the kremlin, as the relevant, came to an end outside billions, russian embassy in the final show of defiance to flatten me. bruce. and let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. and germany is green, coffee has nominated the economy,
