condition. the my mom in ease of welcome to the program. the german government has promised to thoroughly investigate whether there were any security lapses before the deadly attack on a christmas market. and back to burke. 5 people died and 200 were injured when a car plowed through a crowd of visitors there on friday night, the city is still coming to terms of what happened at the sight of the christmas market and mark the board. a c flowers and candles for the victims. tributes are still pouring in for those killed. when a driver tore through the market at speed. the community is deeply shaken by friday's attack. those who come to pay their respects at the site are searching for answers. yes, i'm deeply salty to this with those taking

a toll on me. i'm horrified. that's something like this. going to happen. despite the boat up. despite the safety precautions, it makes no sense at all. as the shock lingers, german authorities are investigating how something like this could happen. especially after reports, the suspect had been repeatedly flagged by multiple sources, including officials in saudi arabia, his country of origin, germany security agencies under pressure to explain why they couldn't stop the attack. because x, while i'm or we our sales, what was the recipients of a tea pot from saudi arabia in november 2023 proceedings were also initiated here on the police inspection and health and took appropriate investigative measures what it was so on specifically that in the end, it could have been seen as a warning and, but he was not known for violent acts. although the suspect had no violent history

or ties to banned groups. authorities called the attack or a potential risk, but said no concrete threats set off. alarm bells, stopping by boat, and now it has to be verified who sent them and basically when and to which i told her to use it for how was it assessed on to someone else only then we could see whether it was followed up or not. whether it should have been looked at again, or whether the measures that were taken were sufficient. in fact, the investigation continues. and as residents and marked aboard more german leaders are promising. swift answers w's. chief political correspondent anita has a, has more on the state of the investigation. slow as we heard that with lots of warnings from individuals who are less it's m. and as far as it is that they have to look into a ton of a. and that includes members of an n g o, for example,

working with ex muslims who had filed the legal case against him for threats on the ex platform in which he said that the german police were trying to install is live msm and germany. and they made lots of similar posts like that on next. that should have been deeply concerning cooling for under michael's death. for example, he'd also even been fined by german authorities. so making threats in the past and the so the government longevity about him, we're hearing that he goes to an official less from german authorities in which they tried to detect him from breaking the law off to some of the threats that he made. all of this is now being investigated and they really have to provide answers here as to how as far as ease of working together, whether the information actually reaches people who are in the position to then follow up with consequences. what's challenging here is that he doesn't seem to fit in any of the typical categories. he called himself left wing, but then support at the far right a d and it's ideas. and what we're hearing is that there will be

a special parliamentary committee session here in berlin on the 30th of december, where dom intelligence representatives are also going to be had those databases. nina has a ukraine talk of a possible peace plan, has highlighted concerns, and he paused in the fighting would give rest of the time to rebuild its army. to counter this cube of supporters have put forward several proposals. european peacekeepers patrolling the front lines. needles security guarantees and promises of more weapons, but what would it take to convince ukrainians that the threat from russia has ended and not just been postponed? the w as an economy takes a dive into ukraine soviet past to understand their hopes for the future. a this isn't a submarine. this is a soviet air and nuclear weapons come on center. 14 inches on the ground. yep. oh wonderful. so what you wouldn't have known if you're in bombing new york in boston, you would have just been told the plan 50 and new york. can you do both offices in

charge to press this lock and then turn a key at the same time for the lunch to go ahead. let's go. back in the 19 eighties and finality was in uniform. 10 soviet nuclear missiles are based at this, such a loan, ready to strike american cities in a matter of minutes. now it's a museum analogy, is it to guide off to the collapse of the soviet union? newly independent ukraine inherited the was the 3rd largest nuclear arsenal, gave them up in return for security guarantees known as the boot of best buy random . those promises from russia, the rest of the u. k. have turned out to mean little they're more more ukrainians who regret the fact that their country gave up these weapons. they say, if you can still hadn't really weapons, maybe the russians wouldn't have invited. how does ukraine without nuclear weapons protect itself from a bigger nuclear on neighbor and russia, the constraints to attack it with those very same well. and so would it be in base to back in the day you will see this of was elected to ukraine's parliament in 2014

. after us are invited in 2020 to join the military, and now come on the drum unit. he spoke with us from the front lines. some of the live was we weren't duped in the it's as simple as that. do you got us? we didn't get real security guarantees back then and we're paying for it now with our blood needs to speak to in the ukrainians aren't going to the same thing happen again. yeah. but it was all what would it take for ukrainians to feel secure? since rushes full scale invasion, ukraine has signed a number by latrell security agreements with countries including germany, u. k. and the us think that just to supply weapons and to consult within 24 hours, should ukraine be attacked again in the future? this of says that's not enough. sure to pretends regime collapsing will you credit joining nato if he's one of the joints for lost in peace. international peacekeepers. the key to position you come to if we have thousands of british

french, german and polish troops along the front lines. and that's a real guarantee. that piece might actually a whole, you will get moved that this war will be over with rich. anything else? all other kinds of deals with just to ensure that the words just pause and will break out again in a month or a year's time. which is because most of which is the analysts say that would require tens of thousands of troops. not just along the 1000 kilometer front line, but also along ukraine's borders with russia and batteries. and they would need to be on, even if and it's a big if countries like germany, new k, would be willing to risk sending troops to face off with russia. the bigger question remains whether they actually have enough troops to do so. in earlier i spoke with the w correspondence on your father car in key if asked her what ukrainians think of the idea of having european peacekeepers to guarantee a possible ceasefire of what i think. so you clean up

a really critical point is that any kind of ceasefire without the mechanism in place to try and prevent russia from attacking your queen again is just the dangerous and this is why listen, savanski has been, you know, pushing for me to membership. he said was the only way to stop like to be 14 from coming back. but until that happens, and that could take a long time. ukraine has very welcome to student less than to ideal of your pin peacekeepers, you know, trying to hold the peace in ukraine. we hold a few days ago from a spots was some of the ukrainian foreign ministry. who said that discussions of this a gaming fraction now with the autopay and partners, but he did admit that these conversations are still quite low on specific detail. i think the system of debates that is limited to policy. so comes along lawmakers here to ukraine, which would you speak to ordinary people? you know, one common argument you sure is that until now you create has been, you know, it's really your 1st line of defense against russia to free the very high price for making sure sure. it doesn't, you know, advance for the attack other european countries. and this is only fed and all for

europe in nations and partners to really step up and put boots on the ground and help you planes, you know, over switch forces to try and wanted to a potential ceasefire versus the landscape of his thoughts is also pointed out that this, this, this problem of this question of peacekeepers is also likely to be quite complex. he said that will many questions. we don't know the potential size of, of, of, of possible contingent. we don't know how robust them and it could be a false. he's also said, we don't know how they would respond if there was aggression from profit. so lots of unknowns to and what is the mood like and you cry. now that we're just a month away from donald trump returning to the white house. when i'm in the mood in ukraine associated golfing dock. oh you do. i think people are exhausted, often nearly 3 years of war. you know, everyone sure has lost a family members or friends. you know you clean and still losing ground in the east to draw. sure. it's been struggling to find fresh school for the opinion full if you're all suggesting that

a majority of ukrainians now wanted to see like on pre negotiated into the small as quickly as possible. and many people into all seem to feels like us president elect donald trump, might be best place to do that, to kind of lean on both russia and ukraine to end up with a conflict i on somewhat acceptable to i'm sort of the same time i have to say that is also exciting in keys, but the incoming trump administration could go to what's called to reduce the got a critical us some of the 38 to ukraine. that will also somebody's here that you know, comes promises in this conflict very quickly, could pressure ukraine into accepting some kind of a bad b, which would leave, you know, chunks of, instead of 3 to russia and without security gavin trees to tell any kind of future aggression for most of uh from las go, but i have to say that if you look at opinion for donald trump, for being supposedly quite popular in ukraine, a lot of people seem to be putting the hopes on him to really in this conflict. dw sonya finally car and keith. thank you and look, let's take

a look at some more stories making headlines. russian president vladimir putin as welcome slow back prime minister roberts feats. so in moscow rear visit by an e u leader. since russia's invasion of ukraine, the meeting comes as the voc is russian gas contract, which relies on ukrainian pipelines is set to expire this month. 10 people have died in a plane crash and southern brazil. all victims were members, the same family, the aircraft hit, an apartment building and a furniture store. and during the for the 17 people in the ground, it's still unclear what caused the crash to panama to the us president elect. donald trump has threatened to retake control of the panama panama canal. trump told supporters panama was charging too much for us on ships to pass through, considering how much washington spent to build the waterway. more than a 100 years ago, united states had to control the strategic passage to panama under a treaty and 1999 into rome. now,

where the famous trevi fountain has reopened, after a 3 month clean up its restoration as part of the city's preparations for the catholic jubilee and 2025. i think it's one of the most famous fountains in the world and has been to life and visitors to the tongue and capital since the 17 sixty's. it's theme is taming of the waters with the greek gold, or c, honest as its centre. and bulls are cascading down to a huge bass and the phone to it has been restored in clean several times over the centuries. and now it's looking for steen again. a tradition connected with the fountain, is the visitor throw calling in to guarantee a return visit to the terminal city one day. amazing. i will come back here. my husband, i'm coming back and i believe he has a wonderful feeling to see about. and then this condition they will need to own it . there's one showing you how much a manual way to aside from the coin throwing tradition defense and has achieved

iconic stuff is by appearing in several films. most famously perhaps in federico, felina is latosha veto. and it's thanks to it's fame that the phone to me is usually crowded by tourist taking a picture of us rooms of ours. these think it's guessing to crowd is under setting up a system to limit the number who can visit the fountain to 400 at a time. so next time you're in rome, you may have to get in line to get a taste of the adult should be to and here's a reminder of our top story. the german government has promised a swift investigation, find out whether security services could have prevented the deadly attack on a christmas market. in fact, a book 5 people died and 200 were injured when the car piled through the crowd of visitors there on friday night. and coming up next activist in california, silicon valley fight to keep joining the tech companies from pushing out the port
