casing police cause it was supposed to be protecting it implying into the crowds. and you can see on the ground to lot of items still strewn on the roads. some of the 4 blankets that are used to keep victims. woman, dry umbrellas. and yet you've had those so police drones flying over the scene, trying to search across and get a sense of the scene. there was richard walker, they're reporting from munich. the new us defense secretary is here in europe, deflecting criticism, aimed at his balls. pete, texas has defended president donald trump's effort to begin to go shooting a peace settlement for ukraine with russia, appearing at nato headquarters in brussels. the us defense cheap, rejected criticism from european members of the alliance over trumps. that phone call to russian president vladimir putin in germany's defense minister was among those criticising, expressing regret over what he called concessions made it to russia outside lining

ukraine. good 7 exit said future funding for ukraine could be on the table during the negotiations. but he praised and trumps initiative, saying that it was not a betrayal of ukraine. i would start by saying the, the arguments that have been made that somehow i'm coming to the table right now is making concessions to bladder, putting outright that we otherwise, or that the president of the united states shouldn't otherwise make. just reject that at its face. there's a reason why negotiations are happening right now. just a few weeks after president trump a sworn in his prose, united states vladimir potent response to frank. we have the perfect deal maker at the table from a position of strength to deal with both vladimir putin and zelinski. no one's going to get everything that they want. understanding who committed the aggression in the 1st place or or dw corresponded terry sills,

is that nato headquarters in brussels. she has more now on and the secretary exits message. i'm afraid, one of the headlines is going to be m n g a. make nato grid again, he really set it. of course that's, you know, um, uh, quite a trump in line. we should have seen it coming. and he says, this has to be done through of course, more european defense spending raising the level that had been at set at 2 percent as a target now up to 5 percent of that's really the emphasis of the trump administration . pizza. haig says, said he was sent here with 2 missions, one of them to uh, me put america 1st and the other one to achieve peace through strength. he says that that's what is happening when president trump calls president clinton. he says, bringing an end to the war and ukraine, as he says, stopping the killing is something only president trump can do. now we've also just

heard from secretary general mark retired, who's had a quite hard job keeping all the 32 allies on the same page when you've got statements like this coming out of the united states. but he is this, there is convergence around the idea that everyone wants peace in ukraine sooner rather than later. that of course has a lot of questions left to be answered. brent was terry shields. they're reporting from brussels. india is prime minister in the range remote. he is in washington today for talks with us president trump body is the 4th world leader to meet with drunk. since trump 2nd term began just a few weeks ago, the 2 are expected to discuss some top topics including migration and terrorist body enjoyed a good relationship with trump during the 1st the trump administration. but there has been growing anger in deli, over controversial us deportation flights, as well as trumps threats of slapping retaliatory terrorists on indian imports. it's a lot to talk about their lives crossover now they are corresponding, janelle, and do malone. she is in washington following these talks. and so what can we

expect from this meeting to now? brian to moody and trump are expected to discuss a range of topics from energy and for structure, trade, immigration defense. but really, a lot of special attention will be paid to what the 2 leaders say about trade. so in the last weeks, trump has been talking a lot about reciprocal terrace. so this idea that the west will match an equal measure the terrace that are coming in from other countries. and in the run up to his election. he also called in the a big trade abuse or so those are his words. and it's worth noting that india for it's part, has been trying to find ways to get favor from the trump administration when it comes to the to the trade front. for example, in uh, last week it flashed import duties on, on, on motor bikes. and this is thought to benefit taught us made hardly dave and says

davidson's going into the country. now senior white house officials say that moves like these are well received about models. and that indicates to us that the white house might be looking for more before it gets what it considers a fair trading relationship with india. janelle last week, more than a 100 indian migrants were de forwarded on a us military plane. they be sent back to india, reportedly in handcuffs, and anchored, change the optics there, disturbing for some how significant will this be. for these 2 leaders you know, it's unclear. brenda was curiously missing from a briefing that white house officials gave to reporters all previewing the meeting between bodi and trump. but it is fair to say that this is something that is definitely hanging over moody's head. it is a source of awkwardness for him. going into the meeting with trump. now it's important to note that india and washington deleon, washington,

they were in talks about this. so they were aware that these threatened deportation flights were going to happen. but really it was the hand costs and the shackles and the public humiliation that caused national outrage in india. and uh, such a body is under pressure to bring it up. but he hasn't really done so. and we've only really heard from the ministry of external affairs or they, they said that they've been told that it's off a hand coat. pancoast and shackles are a standard part of the presentation procedures. and that might tell us a little bit about how much appetite there really is onboarding side to bring this up with trump. however, he might decide that it's well worth sending a signal of strength to trump enters critics at home. all right, do you know standby we want to take a look now is what is known as the h one b visa. it is widely used by india 90 professionals and it allows us companies to hire for and workers for specialized roles requiring technical or theoretical expertise. and while the powers innovation that companies such as tesla and space,

ex, some argue it exploits, labor displaces american workers and undermines fair hiring practices. we spoke to a former tech worker and other experts about of more than 70 percent of the temporary h one, b visas for skilled flooring workers in the us. go to india, nationals, and they are the ones this tend to be most affected as a whether the beta in the future of skilled labor wages on we some from elyse wanting more restricted immigration. well, trump himself has flip flopped from a position to support of the h one b visa program. but the program itself hasn't been the target of harsh criticism. many who study labor issues like run here around argue that the ation, the visa is misused. they don't control their own work permit and their ability to stay in the us. it's dependent on their employer. what that does is it gives the employer a lot of power over that work through this employer says he no longer hires h one

b visa holders. the they provide a seal of a silicon well, a life science company also says the system is lot. if you're now running a big technology company, you will, you would rather have a more stable employees who can't believe who gets big gets loaded or saturdays. then pep, people who are going to, you know, just jump ship like the rest of the employees. do silicon willie strives on global talent, but also has dark secret. here for many hiring. h wouldn't be ways of workers. it's not about schools. it's about money and control a us because they, we not use his full name is a few where engineers at a silicon valley started out. he asked us to conceal his identity, out of concern that publicly commenting on immigration issues may affect him and his ability to work in the united states. good. the new policies saying ok, no, i 20 would be the. it'd be hard to get all the people on x one the from 56. you can

no longer look here. could these policies come from from that would be this kid is this kind of uncertainty that a s is trying to match his elegy, those or a green cards. but the back look for processing applications is in the meal, is always a waiting times counted in the case on. think this is, this is actually the way to be. meaning if you check your on status to get green, got it source source when what you're 100 and it is despite he's worse a as says he hopes he can stay in the us and contribute to its culture of innovation. as long as the system, let's hear you're watching dw news, i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news. i hope to see you then of next pressure is mounting on germany to boost its military capability. so what is holding germany back? that's up next

the we would never compromise upon the rights of the, for the opportunity over your cation speak with dr. and he quit opportunity of work in 2024. ask them women, stop down with a ton of a unique insight into the struggle. the sharp edge of peace thoughts much set on dw german soldiers, a training for the worst case an attack on may 2 territory. it's

a threat. the western military line sees it's very real.
