and maybe my voice will be heard back spring to our la seeking justice for the victims of fame. assign starts november 21st on dw, the . this is dw news live from violin. ukrainian president of the modem is a lensky mox, a 1000 days since rushes full scale invasion. having won his long running campaign to end us restrictions on missiles, the uses this occasion to rally support with a little may cuz in the european will. so coming up on the program, the braces for a 2nd dose of donald trump, his return to the white house shopping is the focus on how your funds and organize its own secure thing. and the case of she cited political, the rates of eva, and now a hero, and from to set to make her final statements. at the trial of past 51 accused of

plotkin, the money keeps mckinnon. welcome to the program. a 1000 days since most goes full scale invasion of ukraine and the will rages on, on diminished to mount the occasion ukraine's president. the load them is lensky addressed the european impala and in brussels, just a short time ago. let's listen and to some of what he had to say. we have succeeded, not only in preventing pointing from taking ukraine, but also in defending the freedom of all your nations. no, i can enjoy calm waters. and may this for the ever seen to add these 4 fat and just straight of the w as

terry sills joins us now from brussels. terry, we're listening to president the lensky speech in which he struck a defiant tone. didn't he tell us what you made of what he said he did, but you know, i was actually surprised that for one thing he didn't have a longer speech and sometimes he has very long and detailed features. and this actually wasn't, but yes, he started off by saying, look what we've been able to do. and of course, with a fewer weapons and fewer capabilities. and he would like to have, we have been able to hold off russia. but what really struck me about this case was that it seemed to be a pep talk for europe. you know, it's a 1000 days that his country has been rained on by russian weapons and he's telling europe don't be afraid. you can do more pointing out that even with these up to 11000 north korean troops that have now been sent to help russia. he pointed out that still fewer troops than, than europe has it. russia is still

a smaller force than you europeans have. he pointed out also that more sanctions are needed and he mentioned specifically the shadow fleets, these a, these tankers, these and see where the vessels in, which put me, shipping oil below the sanction level, sanction price level. so he gets around them up. he was really in my mind, exhorting europe to look harder at what it can do and to be brave in the face of his country having faced a 1000 days of this terror. terry, thank you so much. that's the w. as terry schultz reporting from brussels officer a 1000 days of war and you cried, the e u is weighing the next significant milestone. the 2nd coming of donald trump to the white house. trump is already influencing the way your plans to defend itself, and there is more change to come. a ready, you're not. here he comes to your opinions and show nice. so lovely. read all the

dice, your opinion, little countries. they get together that brutal if only they did get together when it comes to collective security, european governments have credit for years that a 2nd, trump term could sharply reduce u. s. military support. this is not a drill any longer. europe is in real danger in the sense that we aren't ready for the possibility of an arm to tack on you territory or nature territory to many military capabilities can still only be provided on a large scale by the us. as european leaders slowly tackled their longstanding to do list increased spending do more to build up your ups a defense industrial base which is extremely important. so fund more industry cooperation, acquisition corporation, research and development at the level crockett says these initiatives should be

further along as part of efforts to jolt e u. countries. out of this complacency european commission chief versa, live underline is trying a new tactic. she's appointed the blocks 1st ever defense commissioner. he's from lithuania, a country that invest a lot in its own military and for which the question of whether europe can defend its own territory, couldn't be a matter of life or death. andrea's could be, lee is, gets it. he says you present a plan of action within his 1st 100 days, all working together. we can build a stronger mode as he now. and mall told him was held up in defense and space system. so is that you is ready for the most extremely, very contingencies from what, what am i 0? come to really as reminded lawmakers in response to their worried questions. those extreme military threats come from vladimir putin and not donald trump. he urge them to help simplify the your key in markets, such as removing legal and political hurdles to making joint weapons purchases and

standardizing 155 millimeter artillery shells. so ammunition can be produced and used by multiple countries. former let be in prime minister christy on his current says sometimes policy makers just need to get out of the way. we should take off the political table as much as we can allow the use the street to develop and take away the hurdles for industry to work. and then we'll be able to meet our security commitments for at least closer to being able to defend you. territory, even though another huge factor in european security, whether or not donald trump will help you frame defeat, russia remains and unnerving unknown. and we can speak now to benjamin tell us who's the director of the democratic strategy initiative at sabelle and st time. he's also the cosa of an open, less of it's been published today, cooling on europe and canada to join forces in defending ukraine from russian aggression. welcome to the w. thank you for your time today. let's talk about this

open last. so could you tell us which specific actions that you are suggesting these nations take to enhance you kinds defense capabilities? yes, a good day and a pleasure to be with you um, together with a very uh, a staging group of signature is what we recommend are 5 key things that europe and canada should do and indeed can do in order to secure ukraine. regardless of what donald trump does, so the 1st thing is to um, ukraine to win. and that means continuing to send military kit from us stocks, but also to invest in ukraine's defense industry and allow it to use the lights and capacity. that is there. it's currently on the operating at about one 3rd of its capacity, but also to focus on developing new emerging ministry technologies that can offset rushes advantages and actually tell the battlefield in your price favor. the 2nd key thing is to seize all of russia's frozen assets, to fund the kinds victory,

the 300000000000, unfrozen assets, most of which are held in europe. so it is to extend a defense over west and ukraine and use it to cover colorless and ground troops who could be put in to conduct non combat task like the mining logistics and training. so those are 3 key things to start off that would happen in new crime, but there's more to it. there's 2 other things we suggest, which is to provide real security guarantees on the way tonight to our membership. so to actually provide mutual defense uh, guarantees via credit off to the end of current hospitality. and last day that we need to be able to show that we can stand up for ourselves. so each of these coalition members that we see should commit to spending at least 3 percent of g d, b on defense, and should make clear to both russia and try that. we wouldn't be pushed around. all right, so a comprehensive list of uh, action points that you mentioned donald from the us could quite possibly change its still wants to was ukraine once president trump takes the reins next year. so is it realistic that gap can be close that will potentially be left of the us reduces

a withdrawals that support. do you think that everything you've just listed can close that gap? well, look, if we get $300000000000.00 worth of russian frozen assets to help pay for the kind of defense investment that would sustain ukraine's fine, as long as it can, that's going to be a massive blow to russian morale. if we actually give you crane and help codes develop with you, crime, the kind of advanced military kid that can be great rushes ability to fight in the way that it wants to fight to reduce it. it's a bond such as an electronic wafaa and to provide the kind of long range precision fires that would really disable it's made that tree machine then. yes, absolutely. we can fill that gap, we can do everything for us can do. but what we can do would be enough to secure your credit unconditionally, to secure your ease, being critical of companies. current policies can you tell us, was a little should do to align more effectively with as your pin partners and

supporting ukraine. yes, absolutely. the key problem lies at the very top. i'm at the very strategic level where last shots is not committed to supporting ukraine's when he is not yet said of the 1000 days a full scale war that ukraine should win and russia should lose. and that has given them the strategy going down, which is seen germany send a significant amount of money, a significant amount of heavy weapons. but what will this as a month or 2 without that commitment to wind is in effect, an expensive way to make your less safe. because it's not enough for what you can needs. and it's not enough for what partners need or expect from germany either. and germany can send more weapons that good sample money. a good invest in these defense technologies, they could send towards marseilles without targeting restrictions since been proposed by the opposition leader free treatments. but also it could stop blocking common you defense funding that would help europe. trudy defend itself, and it's

a real reputational issue for germany now that it's become seen as an i'm constructive block of the you and nature level. and all sorts of latest action and cooling puts in undermining the isolation of rush. it hasn't helped out the tool. you mentioned the attack and obviously we've been reporting of the last 24 hours us has now authorized attack comes missiles for you trained to be used against russia . do you see europe and nations? do you see germany stepping up now with similar contributions? i certainly think they should. i don't think 100 off shots is going to happen. and other german leaders need to really consider what that does not mean to europe in security, but also to the countries possession to germany's image, to his reputation as well overall to german security. but let's rewrite clear even though joe biden has now both arise to use a visa tack and this is very much of daylight and it's all a short because they're still limited and where they can be used. and we haven't

actually yet seen the kind of permissions and munitions given to the ukrainians that could really help d grade rushes war machine. so we haven't trudy yet, got serious about this. now a change in the german position on that would make a big difference around europe, but frankly, others on waiting to see what balance going to do that going to move ahead at that price. and even we haven't got much time left. but i did just wanna ask you about the fact that, you know, critics arguing ukraine's military goals, particularly reclaiming crime, may uh, may be overly ambitious. can i ask you what you think about that? i think we have to think about what happens if you crane doesn't take that crime. it that it sets a precedent. you can change board is by force. you excuse me. emboldened and reward rushes aggression. that's right. it's a terrible precedent and it puts you up in great danger. now it may be that for some time a sacrament could be reached. it doesn't actually give you credit back all of its lawful territory for now, but indigo in the long run that has to be the aim. otherwise we face

a less secure europe. benjamin tell us direct to the democratic stress, janice, to think tank. benjamin, it's been been a pleasure speaking to you. thank you so much for your time. thank you very much. i all right, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. and lead is the g 20 summit. as in brazil have issued a joint declaration cooling for global pact to combat hunger. more age for garza and an end to the was in the middle east. a new crane. the statement also called for global tax on 1000000000 as it did not offer specifics on how to achieve those goals to the police in georgia, have arrested protests. those who were calling for new paul, them entry elections, they've come to house and the capital, the police, the vowing to stay until the mullins would match, demonstrate to say, the type of ballots which reelected the georgia dream policy was riggs with the help of russia. in new zealand,

tens of thousands of protested in the capital of wellington against the bill to change the nations founding tracy. between the indigenous mallory and the british colon noises. opponents say the bill will diminish, amari writes and set back race relations that were established. in 1849 de mox has moved through the country and ended outside parliament. now the rape victim, who has become a hero in fronts, has given her final statement in court. if she is a political says it is time. so it might show a patriarchal society, but trivializes right to finally change the ex husband and thousands of other men on trial and fronts accused violating her while she was drunk. she's out who is the women at the center of a mass rape trial that has shaken fronts of

a 5 weeks, of course, and has had harrowing details of how she was allegedly raped by her husband, dominique, political, and dozens of men. he recruited online. she told the quote, she never suspected her husband of anything. and that she thought she was having symptoms of all time is when she was experiencing blackouts and memory loss. the quote was told bees with the side effects of the drug so has been, was putting in her food, just the data. she's el pentico also told the court that she'd consulted 3 kind of colleges. after waking up on several occasions in her woods feeling like she'd given, but after she settled petticoats, folks you heard who the main victim is and we know to what extent, but more broadly, the main victim as an entire family confess, dominique pentico has admitted to the charges against him. he's on trial along side 50 of the men police track down from videos of the alleged rapes he filmed and

stored 21 at the men seen in the videos, could not be identified. while a handful of the men on trial have admitted to re think she's all petticoats, the majority of pleaded not guilty. they all do that. they would not a way that she was unconscious. one of them said he thought she was pretending to be asleep. as part of a fantasy game, the investigators have evidence of around $200.00. a trips carried out between 201120. 20. it's unusual here in front and so a re trial to be held in public, but she's helping the co chose to waive her and an invitation. she told the quote, she was driven by a desire to expose rape culture. she said she would hope that her decision would empower at the survivors of sexual violence just because just those pele co is a hero. the 71 year olds. bravery has opened

a conversation. i don't see the message for all women who are suffering violence, but also the many are silent to today is the bill to book the dentist is who could actually it is it helps to put pressure on the justice system and hold perpetrators accountable. so you'll do 1st of all the, the minutes use in the trial face decades in prison. judges will deliver their verdict. in december, christine moonlight has filed that report joins us now from the course of lauren france. christine, can you remind the view is about the background of this case. how did this will come about? well, this will came to lights in september 2020. when the husband of his old code, dominique was called by a security guard in a super marcus filming, and the women stood see, was arrested. he's phone was confiscated and as police looks through his phone, his laptop and as a gadgets, they discovered thousands of videos off

a when it looks unconscious, appears to be unconscious. and the number of men having sex with her. they also discovered chance these were the conversations that co had been having with the man, but he had been recruiting online to come and have 6 with his wife while she was unconscious. the court was told that it is only when the police brought mrs. co in for questioning and showed her these videos, but she became aware of what had been happening to over a decade and it's she was stand weak. the court was told that at some point she didn't actually recognize that she was the woman in that video footage. this is a huge story, but it's in from around the world. and we've been watching the trial. and she has now given her final statement in court, can you tell us what we heard from her and what we've also heard from her ex

husband dominic that's right. well i know that it is well political has been defiant from the very beginning. i mean, the decision she took to go public, i to, to put her face, i'll say, she said this is always been about taking the shame away from the victims and, and putting it on to the perpetrators today. she looked at us perpetrators in the eyes. she addressed them directly, she's in her eyes. these men were all races. she said that this has been a trial of how it is. she said she's and listened to many deny rates, but she also came directly at what point did she give them consent? at what point when they walked into the bedroom, found her for the motion. this continued to engage in sexual relations with a, did they not think that this was right at what point did they report this to the police? she's been very, very strong. so many categories is speaking in, in the coming i was, but he has already confessed to so he is guilty as told before that he is

a racist you've admitted to the charges against him, but put yourself in a coat. this has not just been about her justice, but justice for all victims of sexual violence, her going public and, and saying, so are the victims. in fact, she's quoted as saying i want women to, to, to look at my case and say, if my jump really cold can do it. so can i and women, obviously as extraordinary strength, as you said, there are many men on trial. can you tell us more about the, the other men who are on trial accused? as of right. any of these men come from different backgrounds? you have a cough into a nurse, a soldier you for a problem because truck drive is we know that these men, or lived within a short driving distance from the painted, concerned about the 60 foot on this a radius. and one of them has very difficult backgrounds of substance abuse, addictions to pornography. they all having challenges in their lives. they as

documented in some cases, some of them have also experienced at some point in their lives, sexual assault and sexual violence. so a very disturbing picture of some of these men, but the majority of them have, have rejected the allegation of re they don't believe that there's people to afraid they say they were unaware that mrs penny code was unconscious and they are instead of putting the blame on, on dominique pinnacles, some of them have even suggested that they are victims of dominique's petticoat. we know that 50 of them on trial one is, is that large an international warranty for risk itself? we have these believe to be out of the country, but there is also $21.00 men who want him to adopt today. and that is because police were unable to identify those men. because train one of the lab reporting from avenue in from christine. thanks so much for bringing us up to date on the extraordinary story of that trial. and of course, the incredible strength shown by its just the political christine keys

to hong kong. now, with the cities high cooled has sentenced for sci fi pro, democracy leaders to jail tons ranging from 4 to 10 years in a case condemned by western nations and rights groups. they would charge with subversion, so that roles an unofficial local elections in 2020, held on the beijing national security. little that was introduced in 2019 off to pro democracy protests ruptured in hong kong. the little crushed the movements and reduced the cities autonomy. hundreds waited for hours to get inside the courthouse for the end of this landmark trial, the largest single prosecution to date of the home comes national security little imposed by china 4 years ago. many have a family and friends of those who was sentenced. $45.00 for politicians and activists did prison tens of up to 10 years after being charged with conspiracy to

commit sup, bush and the whole type is unfair because that they, what they have done is only you know, to do what the basic law have laid. john had already laid down and that is the right to pass your to administrators on to, to, to let them have to respond to the majority of hong kong people. so i don't know. oh, what, what, what, what does the premium know fans all the l subaru, son, hendrick, the we was among those sentenced to take him by police outside court. she demanded to know why his son has to go to jail, insisting that he is a good person. at the hearts of this mess trial, an unofficial primary election held in 2020. the defendants accused of attempting to paralyze hong kong as government and the through the cities lead to by

organizing or taking positives. including joshua was a prominent figure in hong kong, is once driving pro democracy movement. a legal scholar penny tie, described by judge who is the master mind who was handed the longest sentence of 10 years a comes in for the next thing. we believe these sentences reflect the severity of the crime scene and show that crimes and danger and national security must be heavily punished. delagarza sentences have sent a clear message to the public because that we have 0 tolerance for any acts endangering national security thing. including subverting states power or they told me to go because we will study the individual sentences before deciding whether to appeal and see if i would talk to a certain. so the sentencing has drawn criticism from western governments and human

rights organizations to cite the cases, evidence of the evaluation of political freedoms in hong kong. beijing and home comes government insist, the national security low is necessary for the city stability. earlier we spoke to nathan laura, former hong kong, a little maker and pro democracy act to this is now in exile in london. he gave us his reaction to the sentencing of the stuff that has taken, you know, only for me before the people phone call. we have to know that this is a, an unfair trial um that being trial under the mattress included quotes which the government hadn't picked the judges and the lowest reason, but badging not by the hong kong legislature. so this lawyers designed to do with this political crackdowns and do a job with these democratic acts of hist for them that merely exercising their right to dissipate even primary, which in everything,

what kind of countries are for policies? what do it? so is obviously a big crack going on cause a history and, and um, people are just very devastated about it. for now, the democracy movement in the home phone is not in a way showing as a massive protest or a gathering it has transformed into rather most of the whole way because they have to adjust for these political climates. so for now the political, this ends, you know, i'm going to, you know, express this provocative list. they, they, they would have been and also that using different ways to just channel that message and stay connected. so definitely the, the most you how many ongoing it's the from, from like, for example, 5 years ago. but i still believe that in the positional freedom of democracy still in hong comfortable. it's hot. that was making little speaking to us earlier. and with that, you are up to date is coming out after
