speak to an ex bus about what it means to them, at least, and what could happen next. the menu of this mckinnon. welcome to the program. germany is tron, so that will actually it's in pizza, his 2nd trip to ukraine since the start of the war. upon arriving short, it's announced a new 650000000 euro on package for ukraine and stress, but germany would remain the countries strongest support in europe. ukraine is struggling to send off russia's grinding offensive, and support from the u. s. keeps largest military back to has been thrown into down by donald trump's return to the white house in january, dw is mike from there, it's following the chancellor's visit to the ukrainian capital. now this is the 2nd

visit of german chancellor solid since the beginning of the full scale invasion. and it comes with a very interesting time. the chance for himself is facing a battle for re election back home. and the united states is preparing for a new administration, one with a very different view on military support for decree. now the german chancellor himself has come under a lot of criticism, how he has been dealing with state and military support for ukraine. back home in germany, from one side saying he's not doing enough. delaying a ruling out simply ruling out weapon systems that the pregnancy would be very helpful in fighting off the invasion from the other side, fearing rise and costs and a direct concentration with moscow. now during his visit today to ukraine, during the start of it, at the train station cave, german chancellor of souls made clear to his ukrainian count the parts of the premium president linear zalinski that germany would continue to support ukraine.

he announced his $615000000.00 euro a package that will be issued this months this month. in addition to further equipments. and this can be interpreted potentially as a sign that the germans and other european countries are willing to step up. their support for you train should have the windows somewhere else. and we can get more now from dw as chief political editor and mckayla could not meet the trunk. flood has faced some quite serious criticism from keith. is that going to be any common ground between shots and the zalinski when they talk today as well? there is common ground sold because germany is europe's strongest so full of ukraine, both in middle treat and mazda 3 times, and the 2nd largest supposed to overall off to the united states. so of course only means the landscape, but we've continued to speak to the durham and tanza, and he has said he's grateful. even when he was in, i think is,

is it fair to say, i agree at all i've sold for speaking with a lot of me put in and it just off to that and phone conversation. ukraine faced issued a tax, particularly on the heating on the end of the infrastructure. so that was seen as a move that didn't help the ukraine by building is a lensky so harshly criticized. and by critics, it was seen as old. i've sold going on the election trail because he is trying to position himself here in germany as the chancellor for peace, who wants to avoid and allow to conflict a potential lodge a war, even though the united states of britain and france have allowed now for a longer range of weapons that they've delivered to be used into russian territory at least, and according to some limitations that germany had stressed. moving and lock step

with united states for a long time. but now we'll have sold as out of step with that new level of support from some nato countries. but he is going to keep visiting with this 650000000 euro this package. can you tell us more about this package that charlotte says the jimmy will deliver to you? train this month? yes. so, so the news is that and this huge tron to $650000000.00 will actually be and delivered this month. it is not completely fresh money, and this will come in form of the iris t, a defense system, some tanks left for tanks and some drones that germany is delivering to ukraine. and that will make up the 650000000 years with a note for us money. all right, we'll have to leave it that he told me his chief political edison here,

alexis now thank you so much for that. a natural, just capital tbilisi has been hit by a full slice of clashes outside parliament protest as have been gathering the since thursday, which was when the government suspended efforts to join the european union. polls show that a clear majority of georgians save a e u membership and many say the ruling georgia dream policy is trying to move closer to russia. george's prime minister has rejected calls for new elections. tens of thousands of demonstrators surround the problem and didn't typically see most a peaceful but as the police close in heavy sites. breakouts. just as the nights before, the, the process was spot by the parliaments. decision to suspend the totes and joining

the european union. the prime minister eat our ki koba hits, the t nice. he's taking georgia of the past to you. membership was the, the response is very clear. so we have not suspended anything related to the integration system. but on that or the position leaders that are the media alternates, linked was the position part of this length of the speaker, but nobody has suspended, beautiful integration of georgia. you had a very much committed to the forgive me because you friendly a petition forces accused the georgia dream policy of trying to tilt the country more towards russia. the position has been 40 coaching parliament ever since. disputed elections in october, and that's been calling for any votes. so has george's president, president southern me. so obviously the supports the protocol and the supposed to

leave office by the end of the year. but she is refusing to do so. was this the new elections leading to stand between the states and the governments and on the streets? it's clear that more than the months after the disputes of elections, which attend the georgia dream product to power in the country, is that another major crossroads or the w correspondent, area cuts them, i'd say, is covering the protests in sibley see for us and the rate of these process they've been taking place for months now they've clearly entered a new stage all demonstrate as any closer to achieving what they want as well. it doesn't seem like they are close to keeping that goes, given that the soon as the police violence is, is intensifying as the protests grow and they're stuck to gray. but there are sort

of, you know, um, no size from the government that they are ready to reconsider their decisions or they are ready to sort of leave the sort of the resign. so it's, it's definitely very challenging times today in georgia, and many people on the streets are very sort of disturbed by, by the situation. and it's definitely their theories that it can, the situation can escalate to the point where georgia may potentially, you know, let's see the roster scenario unfolding in the country. there are a few years like that. we've been hearing that from the streets, given that the police is not. so it is, you know, stopping and the is intensifying as i sat the crack down. uh so its, um, but there is some people that are sort of feeling that it can provoke. so defroster, again thing they, georgia, the reason match, you know,

couple of the people for us is one man who told me what if we, you know, so it is, um, if we adopt like ukraine. but i think that the majority of georgia's really view these uh, sort of as a spot for uh, for the independence as they say, the resistance to the russian influence, which is, you know, is now represented as the believe by of the government. i would not suggest maybe to take a look at the reactions that be gathered today and releasing. the protest will continue until the very end until our youth in georgia when, as a sort of boxes. so that's all we have to stand together with their young people. well then you, tim, um, how can they beat them up so much offices, so books really about to be a number 5, use the government's decisions very negatively. this is a dramatic change of a foreign policy towards the west that we have been pursuing for years. all

right, some of the voices of people on the streets and so please see the are at george's pro, russian prime minister is saying that the country is still on a it's pos to you membership despite counseling, accession tools with the blog last week. can you tell us more about what his thinking is as well, there is definitely a contradiction that, i mean, i think it's aimed at to, to sending the ease the tensions and to call, you know, the public outcry that we've been witnessing for, you know, days in each visa now, so i think it's also a sort of domestic audience as well as you know, your opinion officials that you know it's, it's just a misunderstanding. we are still on european track, but nobody unites these people in the streets. this seems to be the ide because the accidents and the facts are striving, you know, otherwise. so, and it's also,

it will be sort of cool. so to see what all the next sort of, you know, statements from the government. um, but they don't as a side, they don't uh sort of show any sign of pre bossing it's decision. many people can see the government illegitimate at least the protestors and they're demanding demanding the resignation. but the government insist that is legitimate. so you have sort of to lead to the store to assess that people are not happy with the contest of the elections. and the 2nd that, you know, the government is turning away from europe. all right, just, just, just briefly, maria with even us officials have criticized the goals and governments handling of these protests has the routing policy responded to this criticism. the tati is in town accusing some european officials of uh, you know,

inciting uh, the pro task. but what we wanted to see from the european union is, was of concerns. and the, you know, people are also telling me, sometimes that you know, we should see more sort of decisive actions from the european union. but still, the government is managing to sort of accuse the west of trying to inside loose and in the country which, you know, from the ground to, you know, it seems like embarrassing grassroots, the natural sort of, you know, national movement against the, what people here called the russian government and i think that the space out there is high today for the government because the, the, you know, doesn't seem to be, you know, approving that they are probably used to the public and the public is overwhelmingly for europe. and so there's, there's definitely a big, big gap between government on it's people and it's unclear how it's gonna, you know, and up to the sort of situation and,

and to the government is determined to sort of crowd down people more. and people are still determined to, to take to the streets are quite a developing picture, maria, i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it as a thank you so much. that's the w 's maria cats. and let's say let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world today ended from the far right. national riley policy says it will likely support a no confidence those against the minority government. in the coming days, policy leaders have given a prime minister and a shed by me until monday afternoon to agree to the demands to change his plans for next year's budget. and here in germany was it called john fox, loud enough holding strikes across the country. the working of the jobs for 2 hours, it shift to protest against the wage costs and potential plant closures. thousands of jobs are at stake. a series, military and its

a ally. russia has conducted drawing to ask, strikes on areas in northern syria, which a currently under rebel control over the weekend, and search and sled by jihad, the group to cova the city of villa. so the set to be advancing in neighboring hama province. while some syrians welcomed the sizes of thousands of fleeting the region, funding refuge and camps for displace people the aftermath of government airstrikes on the city of gid lived in north western syria . volunteers with the syrian civil defense known as the white helmets are helping the injured russian and syrian war planes are targeting the rebel health, strong willed. after thousands of opposition fighters launched a surprise assault a few days ago, sweeping through several towns and villages, including a leveled to the north. thousands are fleeing the sudden escalation and fighting and many for ending up in camps for the displaced like this one in northern italy

province. so i'm a holler back. came here with her children. she's from a town just east of it live. hi, i saw you guys know we had a hard life in the village because of the escalating attack. the real kids, the shedding and asteroids from the plains on one side and the drones on the other side. the children were terrified had left the hospital. a. steven, before this latest round of attacks encounter airstrikes, syria was grappling with one of the largest refugee crises in the world. according to the un, more than 7000000 people remain internally displaced because of the civil war. us much more, he does from a village outside it live, like many in the camp. he hopes the coalition of rebel groups that launch the surprise attack will succeed in toppling president bush, charlotte, sad aircraft. i were following the bustling news in gold. william, the regime will full. we're counting the days until we can return because the kids

are tired and stressed. we came here with only the codes in our box. nothing else matters. the 67 kilometers to the north. the red blood vance has allowed. another group of exiled residents to return home. this line of vehicles is entering a level city after a decade of control by the charlotte suds forces, opposition fighters have captured much of serious, largest city praise god, after 10 years of displacement from elect her we have returned may god to bring back every display suppressed and return our pete po's. those stood intends to that home the same. and just as we've enjoyed liberation of our city, the god's willing, they to the joyce and the liberation of the, as the syrian military says, it's sending reinforcements to push back the fighters and present the charlotte side is vowing to defeat what he calls the terrorist and their supporters once in

a while, i'm trying to hear in the studio by mid least x that then your gala welcome done. you'll get to see you here. and we're hearing from the you and special on voice a, syria that these recent developments rep a present a threat and no need to the syrian a civilian population but also to regional and international uh, security. can you tell us how you see the situation? i think the envoys roy, despite the situation, has been that of a protective conflict of many years and experts myself included have i've, i've won the political decision makers for many years that if that conflict is not addressed properly by the international community is going to explode. again in all faces, and that's what we see now, we see for the disintegration we see interruption of violence. again, i don't think it's going to that this in this particular advance of the, of the insurgents is going to change the equation. but of course, other forces are getting involved busy the radians though the bath and weekend

getting involved. the rock of government has announced that they're going to send to official paramilitary troops from iraq to syria, to, to, to book trust the syrian regime. we get to see the russians getting both back in the game. so yeah, this is going to lead to further violence. okay, but let's talk about how all of this works. because of course, special all a sudden i like russia, as he mentioned, is, is busy in ukraine. iran, as you mentioned, and its proxy is they've been fighting with israel weekend is that if we talk about timing, is that why the rebels has moved on a lot pro now. and they that seemingly being very successful. why is that? but that, that's, that's so the circumstances and of course that's been factored in in the calculation if this is the right time to move. but there's, there's 2 other factors of that i think have often overlooked that been constant challenges in the, in the west and countryside of a level from region forces. there were quite careless about it. they just like vocationally kept the conflict on going shout,

villages under and such and control. so the pressure to do something, was there on the other hand, and giuliani, who's the leader of the infamous group. i have to have, these are some h t s called the liberation front for, for, for syria. and as long as group that was running, controlling the m a read was still controlling the internet. and ad lib felt that they might be thrown on the bus by rapprochement between turkey and to syria. so in order to make sure that they still have a ball in the game, they want it to be tracked if they wanted to show the military strength instance and show that then they haven't become irrelevant. and also, of course, they wanted to show to his own fights as that they have still as a powerful military group. and if you, if you are a military group, you have to wait wage will every now and then every couple of years. and so they were quite, i think, impressed by their own success. now the question is, to what extent did the turkish government allow this to happen, or to what extent was it itself a bit surprised by the success of the a box? that's right, because of the atx group,

which you're talking about. it's the leading level faction that's now taking the left o is he said it is considered one of the most powerful militias in north west and syria. and as he said, it is supported by turkey. so can you go into more detail about what's the turkey one south of this? i think what happened is a turkey was extremely discontent with the negotiations as they were going on with the charlotte. that's government. the regime was as usual, quite arrogant and you don't treat president of the one arrow country. the one was ready to normalize to a certain extent. of course, there's a courtesy file. there is the syrian different demographic forces in the northeast which are still controlling the area and other than once to deal with that. he saw that with donald trump elected, he might get some more leg room for action in syria for a more robust response. he wanted to teach a lesson to prove present the shot i said, and tell them you're not going to get my refresh mall for free. i can also harm you now the, i think the turkish government allowed the insurgents and they play, they live to move forward towards that level, but not inside the city. they said,

okay, go, go ahead, deal with it, show your strength. we will back you up to a certain extent, but i don't think that the tugs wanted them to advance into a level to go into hama, which is difficult to control because you kind of just like say, we allow you to do this and know that if they're moving forward, the, those, yes, think about it. but if you see the statement of the trucks joint statement with to cushion on the rain and for administer today, they said to it should not be a place for saw sights of national terrorist, a full service move, some paraphrasing, and to what did they refer to in that statement did they, did they just mentioned the stephen democratic forces? the quote is group curtis groups in the northeast or did they also refer to these? and surgeons is quite empty. okay. in terms of cookies in the game, what is tuck he's go? is it getting rid of us on? well, i don't think it can get rid of us out at the moment. the question is, if they will, if they consider study a shot and the group that is controlling it live and that's been on the type of support and to, to live for a long time if they are willing to sacrifice them for

a problem. normalization with syria. that's the big question because i think that's what delani was very much afraid of. that was one of the geo political context. why she acted the way he acted in order to, let's say, destroyed that process as portions of normalization. some people call it the 7th of october of syria, what, what, what they were trying to do. the best i think, and decided yet i think i do on has a long term interest to mobilize with the syrian regime. but he wants to do that on his terms and not on us of terms in terms of what is happening now on the ground in syria. i mean, until recently the war in syria has had relatively stable front lines. hutton's, it's how do you see this conflict developing now to what i think russia is going to reinvest iran to a limited extent because the radiance need to be aware of where wherever they move with their forces, israel will be striking them. so they will expose themselves. now the rocky

government is taking a bit of that burden and saying we're sending part of military groups in order to support this here and regime. because our troops hopefully are not going to even bought it by the users. and certainly not by the americans when we consider an allies. so it's a very complicated situation. i think the regime of side is extremely weak and people in the regime areas are very discontented with the situation being forced to fight again to get back into the battle. so i think they will move forward. we are expecting a counter offensive, but it's going to be a very costly one on both sides and the outcome will be another unsolved, serial conflict. then you'll get a lot. thank you so much for you and all of this stuff. nice. thank you for inviting me. all right, let's catch up now with a few more stories making news around the world and all source ease in guineas. second largest city, say at least 56 people were killed in classes that a football much witnesses say violence broke house officer, a contested decision by the referee. they say fans invaded the pitch and set
