streams coming through, making money, having a sun when not falls and something stops. december 13th on d, w. the business dw news line from ballot. the bridge is feldman sparks the 1st stage of a law allowing assistant dying proposed law, which gives the terminally ill the right to decide when to end their own lives. today's vote opens the way for months of debates. opponents wanting to measure could put the vulnerable edwards, also coming off thousands protests as georgia suspends that split to join the european union. place you as well as the accountant and check out the dispos demonstrate. and rebel fights as a sets event, a serious 2nd city, a level with hundreds reports of dead and fighting with government for

the i'm got it off is welcome to the program. lawmakers in britain have voted to support draft legislation to make assisted dying legal in the u. k. that result means the bill will move on to the next stage of the little making process like, you know, before monday the pen, emotive debate was followed by a sofa free votes, which means lawmakers could decide, according to their own personal beliefs, but not forced to vote along the parties, official lines. the contentious topic has splits u. k. society. for years. the reason both suggest the majority of britons now backs up proposed will. in the pre vote debate, the politician who introduced the bill kim, let better explain why she's in favor of assistive dying for those who choose it.

let's be clear. we're not talking about what choice between life or death. we are talking about giving dine people a choice of how to don any one of us around left homes to being fortunate our latino to receive a terminal diagnosis. and i struggle to see how it is fat, or just to deny anyone feel telling me, excuse me, say, and personal choice that we might want to take control of our assign weeks. i'm the right to choose does not take away the right not to choose even the choice of an assistant desk to those who won't. it will just call smoke stop anyone who is telling you from choosing not to do so. that's close all the top correspond bigot mazda in london, and see, has been following the day of the debate from outside the house of commons, big it, tell us more about why that u. k. problem and has voted in favor of this is the time go it was a very long debates. well it was 5 hours get hot and it was very respectful and

many and he's were trying to get that point across. it was very emotional and we had a lot of pass no stories. and these were talking about left to us from the constituents, or even from their own experience of power. and so all the loved ones who had a very painful death, with palliative care and the end wasn't enough to leave the item you paid. and i guess it was a lot of the stories that one of the other employees that had been and decided that when the move and that's in the end, it swung towards those people who do want to change to go and assist the diag might now become legal here in the u. k. thank you figure this done by then i'll come back a, a bit later. let's 1st have a look at the report that you filed. this bill will allow at all, to a terminally ill to get assistance in ending their own life. advocates of this is the time have long for, for such a little bit as you met some of them. let's have a look,

a painless death for those who wanted. that's what these campaign is involved in the south of england, the fighting for the supposing the proposed floor that enables tom and the new people to be assisted to end their own lives. to close close to sophie pend, it's hard when my mother wanted on this to death, even though we knew it was against the little know all, morales was to support an enabled her to have a stuff free of suffering. sophie's mother and had been diagnosed with a rab brain disorder, but would eventually have made her completely dependent on others. she tried to take her own life, then decided to travel to switzerland, where it says the dine is legal. her 3 children went with a knowing this would be the final days and hours as a family. sophie says the mother died before her time because she needed to be fit enough to make the journey to the foreign country. if assessed the dying of being

living in this country, she would have known that she could die at home in this country. she could die with our friends and family around to should she wish and it also would have meant that she most likely would have died later on in her own us. but some people are against changing the little disability rights campaign. a few friends is afraid that disabled people could be call us into unassisted death. society sees disable people as people who are dependent as people who all vulnerable and basically what that means is that they take a view. my life isn't as well as leaving us. there's is so if i get really ill, it would be a calling mess with a minute to let me go to the new little propose of safeguards against such collection to doctors and the judge would need to approve the death. but this does

not convince phillips. he has lived with disability and the discrimination that he says has come with it. since he contracted polio at the age of 3, he feels he needed to constantly fight was rights and does not completely trust the medical establishment. so how it to doctors who don't know me supposed to assess with on being co us don't know where the people are leaning on, need to, to type the medication. so i won't, and doctors aren't trained to look at color ocean. that's a very skilled job to says the proposed little pits his autonomy and desire to live against someone else's autonomy and wish to have a pain freed that he would rather have resources diverted into a better palliative cap. sophie, pend, it is convinced that it is cruel to deny people to day without suffering. a moral dilemma that you can go make us, will have to examine very carefully. let's go back to big a mazda and under the big it's some people are concerned like the campaign

a in your report that the safeguards on not sufficient. did they have a point? well i had a chance, a guy just now to catch up with, with fil, a friend, the campaign a that i interviewed for the story you was actually here or is still he outside parliament and, and he's quite down the like the, all the campaign has a lot of disability campaign and some other people who complain on religious grounds not to change the lawsuit. they maintain that. they think these safeguards are not enough, say that that doctors might not be trained, that the, the court system is already overwhelmed and they don't simply also, they don't trust these the systems. but they also point out that because it might be more subtle so that people might put themselves in the pressure because they might, it's not one to be, as i mentioned that in and the last month's dying months to the family. and that

they don't want to, the, somebody to see them suffers with that. they might want to put themselves on the and you pressure. so they are saying that the volume to continue that slide. because at the moment the bill has caused the fast how to but it still needs to be some pause for other stages to become no. yeah, those are the next steps. what all day? yeah, yeah, just briefly. so it goes into the committee stage and those of the house of lords will examine it carefully. and then there's another bid here in the house of quite another village and the house of commons. the majority was fairly clear today, these containers who don't on the low to change. they are hoping that when it's being examined really carefully by little made because then the deficiencies will become clear. so they're hoping that there is a chance that and the last stage it might be very to down in the end. we don't spigot mazda reporting from london. thank you very much. bigger. a, more than

a 100. so i think georgian diplomats of signs of open letter criticizing the judge and government suspension of talks on e u. membership. they said violates the constitution violence broke out in the capital. tbilisi overnights as protest, isn't police clashed off to the pro russia. prime minister announced that this decision looked in the stand off into bbc between dried police and the pro european protested dozens of demonstrated what are listed and many others in to as they assembled outside judge us, bottom and building. and the governing bodies headquarters was in good and good. they're going again to and say one to drag us back to us. but that to now i have to be a vent, free to an announcement by judge you as prime minister to suspend the bid to join

you until 2028. he accused the dressers of disrespecting georgian values. move amelia. it is categorically unacceptable for us to view new integration as inactive charity, that the european union must ground to us so far for their asking from georgia not reforms. this is not the steps that would mean the rejection of our dignity. what is most business? georgia has seen several and think of them in protest this year, but it grew following the contested election in october of deal position plans because i am going into head into campaign in favor of the governing judge and clean body. they say the routing party has been moving georgia and then i'll try to damian and pro moscow direction for months. and that came to a head on thursday. is that it goes to to, to the georgia dream committed a constitution school. today they have to fill the task given by law to be put down

. well, if i'm able to give them even more freeze for that bar today, georgia dream has drugs, the development and unit logics perspective for georgia. i'd love to go to fedex. you hopefully in the info's indicates the vast majority of georgians student wants to join the e u. n. georgia. dream says it intends to do that one day. but for the moment, the divide between the government and georgians 1st and the 3 sions look said to grew light of the w as most abusive jewelry. appreciate to has been working from you guys since russell close most kind of office, i'll somalia. what influence russia has had and suspending georgia's bid to join the u to? well, god, this is exactly the question we will asking ourselves dealings implementer elections approximately a month ago. the question already was to what extent russia had had and it's, and the answer was not easy to find because it wasn't no direct to know all this

into a few in such as into the ukrainian might've aleutian in 2014. but there were plenty of tools that were used under the surface, such as decent formation campaigns, or just cutting off a position candidates on the internet. and the pro ration georgia uses or perhaps even directly across controls may have played their part bots. the biggest russian influence, it certainly is the ruling judge and pa to georgia. dream policy itself is found. an ex prime minister. the body should be the richest man in georgia. he made his money in russia in the 1990s, and he's believed to have links to the kremlin now. so what interest does the kremlin happen? georgia? well, put in some aid of geo political goal is likely to be is the restore ration. let's put it that way over the soviet empire. he describes the collapse of the soviet union as to the greatest catastrophe over the 20th century and to georgia was part of the last. so if you're to new and until 1991,

we shouldn't forget that the russia already went to war against georgia in 28 and has controlled 2 separatist regents of georgia ever sent since of course no one in law school says that he's clearly and i don't think anyone's really believe that russia will and next george on the bought what's place very much into putting his hands is if georgia now gives up on the idea of the human machine. and firstly, it's a huge blow to the image of those for belief in the use and put things goal is to we can europe the weekends, your opinion. secondly, of georgia courts do business with russia and to stablish about to close that context and handouts by the you up would and would expand. she's a zone of influence givens that process. all of the previous l i n may. both judge armenia is moving to the opposite direction away from russia as to what's europe. now, what do we georgians say about russia and how do they deal with it?

well, i think it's interesting that the people of georgia are likely to be put into the biggest obstacle, according to all surveys during the last years. 80 percent of the population say, a very clear yes to the you. an interesting detail mountain more. uh, is it rolling parts? it has also come page with a use is current to move quote into fia. i therefore reach a be seen as a be trail, which is why large scale protest i seem to be expected to use. you may say to the reporting from reagan, thank you. you're russia, as long as more than a 100 drones against ukraine, wounding, at least 8 people. russian president vladimir putin as also threatened to target government buildings with a new hypoth sonic missed saw the rush of 5 for the 1st time last week. your findings, president savanski, has accused food enough to save a rattling excuse to prolong the war. we just know what are the important bunch again for motor christmas site,

a lot because of that it is to kill and destroys like you to the thousands of midsize that have already struck you. clean wouldn't clearly wants to add a 1000 for these. each young he has no interest in ending this party model or spluttered, wants to prevent others from ending this far. she instance has got an separate rattling bit or stick. or is this a totally disrupting the efforts of president trump? the tools that are short to follow his integration, president of the drama, you can push the dc and overrides to a serial. now where a wall monitor reports the rebel sciences of ends at the 2nd largest city or level, the syrian upset of the tree for human rights, we both have a fighting between rebels and government forces. serious military says it's inflicted heavy losses on the rebels who have been advancing on a level for days. they have also taken control of strategic towns along the way. essentially says the violence has killed hundreds, april, the say, thousands of families have been displaced as

a more or less. so let's begin. so i was guess he's an authority on the middle east as profess of international relations at the london school. if they cannot economics, professor, what do you make of this something offensive by the rebels? well, its really uh, very shocking. because they are offensive by the rebels, both the nationalist, i mean its not much troubles have caught the city in forces. the government forces nothing. even though the se invoice forces have been mobilizing on the live uh from for quite a few weeks uh might take on it is that the warrant syria has never ended. hm. um, it has been simmering for the past to say the 2019. i mean, think of the explosive tucked out that exist. and so yeah, today you have tens of thousands of islam as 5, cuz plus nationalist 5 this you have the wrong. yeah. and then the 5 does helping

the asset routine. you'll have to push forces in it lip helping you, a position. you'll have american forces, housing, the goods you will have isis forces, 20000 isis forces, all the in prison or basically attacking the government and the goods. plus, you'll have, of course, uh, syria has the se in government. so imagine with this particular explosive cocktail, but the reality is, sadly, we are seeing now. the door itself has been re, kendall, and this tells me that it's going to be a very, very long, bloody conflict then the next few weeks and next few months. now the timing of this uh, the rebels trying to capitalize on israel's assets a week in the ron's product. proxies in the region like has blah to let, let me give you a view. is it kind of a glimpse of the reason why the rebels both the slam us did you have this and the opposition and the nationalist of a tax? i mean, israel has been that talking to you for the past few years. it has really organically

undermine this area and forces the government forces. so the government forces as a vendor of your on the bottom left, the 2 major forces. that's a for the said regina had been preoccupied in the war and gaza and then level plus what you'll have now is that the rebels in the past 2 years or so, the se in government, and the turkish government does a kind of rep for a small and the level of p a that basically technically allowed to so you and government reoccupied the as a bad. yeah. what had the opposition to exist? so all in all you have vendor abilities on the part of the asset regina and the rebels, and both the same as and the opposition have really exploited this particular vulnerability in order to shop the government forces in the past few days. now let's talk about russia as sort of open the view a bit. how big of a role is most goes support playing and it's support of the fundraising to

well again, as you know, the said regime could not have survived without the deployment by president fulton, in 2015. the russians really with the adult in allowing the said regime not only to survive, but to break the backbone of the position. but now since russia invaded the ukraine, what you really have is only at power. so the russians are providing support, but this is really more of an incision pool. it's the ground attacks. and the surgeons are using really tactics like google or war or fat and using similar tactics to hezbollah. so the air force could do a lot of damage, but not the you not to need ground forces. you need boots on the ground. and the city and the government forces are really exhausted, the venerable as a result, both of the preoccupation of cuz my line, the wrong in guys and 11 and, and as a result of it is around that tax on syria, which truly we can the said regime a great deal in the pots for yes, professor, just very briefly,

how do you see this playing out over the coming days and weeks? they have a lot in the uh, sofa in the past few days. we have more than 16000 displays. people. you're going to have tons of thousands of people displays 100 scales. they've got 1000. the last thing we need is um of the war and the displacement of people in syria. after we have what we have seen, then the that humanitarian catastrophe and gaza and then 11 a fall, those barriers, the middle east, expert from the london school of economics. thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us. thanks. process invasion of ukraine is also raised questions over civil defense here in germany, the government is working to increase the number of bunkers available to protect the population. if the country should come under attack. the existing network is far from adequate in the event of war. this is where the german public can seek

shelter. the countries, few operational bunkers of a room for up to 480000 people. less than one percent of the population in just a moment. is it that it's like at the moment we are actually in a poor position, he is, there is a lack of both a structural infrastructure and awareness among the population of what can actually happen in an emergency station bounce for like is twin con. the reason for the cure and debate, the latest threat from russia following the firing of a new medium range missiles at the ukranian city of the new po president, letting me you're putting certain supporters of ukraine was possible missile attacks. ever since the start of the war and ukraine, german authorities have been working on a national bank. a plan is tennis. copeland vices got kind of roughly outlined. the points are included in the most systematic possible recording of buildings and private properties that can be used as public safe havens in the us. of these could

be underground car parks and subway stations, and basements covered design. one of the cut off volume of all of this data will be transferred to an app that enables citizens to determine their nearest place of refuge and digital approach that everyone agrees with this call for lucas. i need ways of continuing to communicate with people and look for him because we know how quickly the internet can fail if the power goes out. for example. since the end of the cold war, a general sense of security has growing in germany up into 2007. there were still 2000 public shelters. the german government at the time even decided to dismantle, instead of some of them. bunker is became museums and she could taps an increasing number of private individuals and now thinking about building their own bunkers, there's a certain venetian vocab. it's nice to have a bunker in my garden at home when the air raid happens on sundays. but what do i

do when i'm at work at 10 am on the monday. so you know, we're a 1st come you to for an hour and a half for us. not, not touchstone, intended. without the t a timeframe. the national shelter concept remains of project waiting to be addressed at some point, probably under a new federal government. so that's good morning, this from the political correspondence i've gotten. so i'm, can you tell us how great the threat of an attack on germany actually is, according to the government what get how it is pretty clear. the threat level has increased as a result of russia's aggression against ukraine and particularly of the sort of comments that by the mid poaching was making last week, saying that to the war and ukraine has the character of a global war. and he wasn't rolling out attacks against the west, and he's repeatedly made threats against nature. so, you know, he's old, that just saber rattling well. perhaps it is for now. but who knows how the global

security situation is going to develop over the next few years? jim and his intelligence, james was saying just last month that he brushed it, may be capable of carrying out attack and attack against the nato. then the country by 2030. so, you know, it does seem a sensible precaution to look now what the defenses gemini has and to possibly be thought civil defense if possible. and now we had in our report that there are count, they only bunker capacities for less than one percent of the population in germany . why so few us? yeah, i just done it. he currently has 579 uh, working bunk cuz uh the space for a full 180000 people. the total population, of course is $83000000.00 and the number has full in, in recent years, is, was there a bench mentioned in the report. i think since the 1992 is the end of the cold war,

there was a feeling that the, the likelihood of a direct military confrontation or an attack against germany when, you know, had full. and so a lot of these places were either not maintained or that was sold off, converted to other uses museums. and in some cases, even into homes that so you know, i think it, it was felt that they weren't really needed. now finland, that's a country that says a board with russia is such a bank as for almost all of its $5500000.00 inhabitants. does that mean there are other countries the just to invest more in civil defense than germany? some of them do a finland, particularly it's obviously got a long border with roster. it feels the threat from there. i think quite team land and i believe the finish capital helsinki has got in fact a bunker space for more people than it's in its own population. switzerland famously has many bunk because uh it, they,

they would mind to trade to be included in homes built. most homes are built off to the 2nd world war problem does announce similar plans to what's being discussed here in germany as well. and also he's thinking of introducing a requirement for new build homes to at least plan, you know, bunkers and shelters to be part of this. so i think many countries are now reviewing what they can do and making sure that they have at least some shelter in the case of an emergency or an attack. so i'm in the young beth, thank you very much. i as. and finally, before we go now to them, because the role in paris has shown itself to the world again, following a devastating 55 years ago, we built into it the exacting detail that the feeder will officially reopen next week. televised tool by french president in on a lot of my com. all for the 1st glimpse inside the restoration did cost nearly 700000000 euros. it was funded by the nations from around the world. 5,

destroyed the sky and months of the ceiling, and the interior of the cause is still be investigated. and, and that's it from me and then use the new steam. stay tuned for to the, the,

to the points. strong opinions, having clear positions, international perspectives. vladimir putin is promoting a numerical weapon against ukraine, claiming moscow as hypersonic me style is invincible. nato is on high alert as russian and north korean troops advance rapidly increase on to the point, we ask russians to use strategy and you create students weren't going to go to the point next on d w, you sure,

most of the i will sing my song as well as i know these injustices will not also one of the for the air tons for use of charlie's ton for any of the other murders of women in the home. so maybe my voice will be heard the seeking justice for the victims of sam assigned in 45 minutes on the the get treaties. really exciting. i didn't tell you to look surprised. hi, i'm shop now. i'm ready to dive into the hands of human to to have you have a wonderful comport computers card via included in best deposits from quarter to indians. to drama. keep puzzles that even local crush vehicles. we've got

a response and the expected size of the latter approved in this town. dig a new miracle weapon against ukraine moscow's hypersonic. miss file is quote, unquote, invincible. and it's used as a response to far reaching attacks from crate. oh, dangerous. are these latest developments? are we reaching the level of escalation? many had feared. massaro attack on the ukrainian city of to meet pro is a message to the west weapon has arranged several 1000 kilometers, also be equipped with nuclear warheads. nato is on high alert of us, france and great britain 1st allowed ukraine to shoot deep into russian territory. germany is full enough sides as so far not followed suit on ukrainian soil and russian troops are advancing very.
