3:02 pm
president. donald trump. us is taking a different stand, sir, since it's but the time for russia and ukraine to make difficult choices and, and the fighting is now we call on all other un member states to join the united states and pushing for a durable piece that will bring stability to europe and deter further aggression, general us is adopting a neutral stance that does not right condemn russia, causing a split with it to your pin allies. to both the general assembly joined russia to the north korea. iran and others in voting against the resolution drafted by ukraine on the 3rd anniversary of moscow's invasion. and letting me 281. let me assure you that ukraine wants peace more than anyone, but not any peace. we must be mindful of the fact that this is existence shall war . this is exist, special wolf within tide, democratic road, power,
3:03 pm
democratic principles, and values. and the russia has repeatedly tried to dismantle these rules best order . and it was so cute architecture that it is impossible to stop with the rest and by appeasing appeasement doesn't work. the west instead pushed for its own competing resolution named the path to peace port calls for swift. and to the war without naming russia as the aggressor, a, we cranes, european allies led by friends or proposed amendment to the us tax. to underline that the conflict was the result of russia's invasion, military operate. as you went through this, it the rush i chose to bring one back to europe and saw him then over the past 3 years. and i do have russia has been waging a brutal legal, unjustifiable aggression against ukraine. with a late since disregard for international humanitarian law. i'm in the video, they go pretty popular as you'll see the left us however abstain from voting on the
3:04 pm
amended version if it's resolution and, and eventually the un security council adopted washington's original resolution with 10 votes in favor. and 5 extension was a statement. yes, present valid trump has been focusing on doing a deal with ukraine for minerals and resources as part of the piece plan he's trying to broker ukraine's president, belong to me as a landscape is not yet committed. but donald trump is bullish about his chances of getting zalinski signature meeting with the president. george kentucky may come in this week or next week to sign the agreement. we've made the laws. so the agreements being worked on now plus to a final deal or various other things in
3:05 pm
here to sign it and that would be great. so while ago i spoke with our corresponded in keith, nick connelly, i asked him what kind of agreement trump is expecting you crane's present to sign? so just to be clear, really important, this is about the minerals and not about a potential sci fi will see, the jump team has been claiming that it is close to reaching a sci fi deal. but i think that is realistically, still some time off. how this deal is gonna look exactly, we don't know it. we know it's gone through several draft and we've had leaks, and we've had people speaking of the record about what was in the, the initial draft really shocked people here in ukraine, but also across europe. they spoke of economic calling nice ation of ukraine by the us. if that were to happen, that deal. there was talk of hundreds of billions, maybe up to $500000000000.00 worth of money for the us in this there was $2.00 of us are excluding european and other companies basically giving american funds 1st, right of refusal on all these big mineral projects and ukraine and the other
3:06 pm
important thing to remark here is that, you know, it is even clear that there are enough of these minerals that out multiple at reasonable prices, as has been claimed diesel down to data that is decades old. but certainly this is something that donald trump has gone for hold on foster he's obviously interested and kind of captivated by this idea. and we've just had the ukraine saying, well, you know, let's talk about security too. if you want us to give this, then let's see what this provides you. great. in terms of long term security guarantees. if you're not going to give us nato. and this little to push back from the ukraine side to say simply and you called ask us to pay back stuff that was given his aid. we're willing to deal with you were willing to maybe talk about paying back new aid if you give it to us, but we're not going to just accept everything that we've received so far. was a low when actually it was, you know, it was 8 and was stated as a gift. exactly. any, any deal about minerals would be linked to look for ukraine to something regarding security. how likely is it nick,
3:07 pm
that the ukranian presence then will go to washington to meet the us present in the coming days? think, terry, we've been hearing about meetings and trips to dc by williams lensky for weeks now and they just haven't happened. i think trump is up to try and tangle. this is a kind of incentivized to try and get lensky to sign on the dotted line. kolinski obviously wants to have that handshake and not meeting with trump before teaching does so. but we have seen that while he was lensky isn't gonna assign at any price . he's pushed back and pushed back publicly. for now, i'm not so sure that it's going to be, you know, a matter of days this could take longer and you credit it just aren't going to let themselves be bullied by washington for now. big. thank you very much. our correspond in keith nick on this week, march the 3 years since russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine. the buffalo, a boot show happened in the early stages of the invasion. after a month of fierce fighting ukraine took the town back from russia and in doing so,
3:08 pm
uncovered evidence of russian war crimes. the war has destroyed countless lives and torn families, a part that rushes aggression has not broken. the resolve of the ukrainian people to defend their country. they call themselves the witches of boucher an unofficial monica zip knowns to a mystic sisterhood to lose job because we are working in the blue chomsky districts, which is because of all women which is these women a part of nearly all female volunteer defense unit trying to shoot down russian drones in the suburbs with a live suburbs of boucher and r. p on the outskirts of keys. these areas were unknown to most outside ukraine before the war, but anal, synonymous with some of the worst atrocities committed by russian troops in the days of the invasion. the women of this team that lives through it and survive
3:09 pm
cause and those nice boots, each of us here has experience something in our lives. and then she'll remember something that the war took from us. something that cannot be forgiven to me, that's why this united festival of sue for you off the training ground, tatiana wilkes's, through those terrifying days in 2022 russian soldiers stormed into opinion like february on their way to take keys or to push them all as so, so this is way, the 1st bass will began to disappear. this is after they brought the column, the shopping seemed to look like this. you can see it clearly here year to do it. so i don't know how to check on this building has been a face of the russians. i was touching on his husband, alexander, enlisted as part of the local territorial defense. the these,

3:11 pm
3 years later she still carries reminders of that last this is one of those all as well. this is all i have least but let the salt trends, millet tree badges, and the very fragments that killed him like this with the you know, it somehow gives me strength for when they're annoying. and so when you give out them things that said, i can't do it anymore. and then i look at this fragment and i think now i can still do. and instead of grieving alone, tatiana has chosen active resistance. more and more time we oil change, we're trying to adapt to the realities of life. and the realities out that we have a was it's, that's why we take out pounds. what is the purpose of so potentially ana and others and how unit survival has managed adapting to a new reality. one where they've had to take on roles they never imagined. yeah, i've brought this, i have lost my entire family and i have no win lift and ukraine glee up was when i
3:12 pm
came here, i found my family. for me, this is really very important because it wasn't because the person cannot exist alone. what of not protecting, not only the country, but also each other. so you look at a few other stories making headlines around the world today. hundreds of thousands of students in gaza have returned to school for the new academic year. the un says nearly all school buildings have been destroyed and is really military bombard, teachers report that many children are struggling emotionally after losing family members in the of the marine exploration firm ocean infinity has to be got a new search for malaysia airlines flight m h 370, which disappeared over 10 years ago with 239 people on board. the operational c underwater vehicle scanning about 15000 square kilometers of c bad off western australia. malaysia will pay the firm $70000000.00. if it finds the plain

taiwan coast golf for it has detained a chinese crude cargo ship over suspicions that may have severed in under sea telecommunications cable ship, which is registered in tow. go was intercepted between ty, one's main island and the outlying penguin items. i want to use the authorities of detained a crew members and are investigating whether in nearby undersea cable was intentionally caught taiwan has reported 5 cases of under c cable malfunction. so far, this year, type pay has raised concerns. the china could damages communications cables in a bid to blockade or sees the island which fishing claims. as the w correspondent james che, teacher is following the story for us from ty pay incentives. this update. there's so many details to be on doubts about this particular incidents, but 3 now earlier time ones co, scott said it's hard to,
3:14 pm
to change this china link ship with a crew members. there's one chinese nationals that was off to this on the see table . this harmonies, the island offshore island, just pulling who was disconnected with ortiz, say, communication with that islands would not completely disrupt it off to communications woods of us and redirected through another on the see table. but congo is really of the size of a lot of these tensions that situated rights in the hearts of the taiwan straits. the narrow stretch of water that separates china and taiwan only a little more than a 100 kilometers in some places i. and it's, this is way, you know, the have been increased tensions between china and taiwan over recent years. time one is already reported. 5 cases of c cable malfunctions issue that's up from street last year and the year before. this is often described as being costs of china's efforts to wage what taiwan cools grades on war 5. these are in some of the
3:15 pm
day, 3 tactics. it full below the threshold of formal conflicts, but it designed to wear down that taiwan psychologically. china. it's pos is already spoken out as about this particular incidence. showing as foreign ministry has said, this is not a diplomatic issue and it will not be common thing further. the man who is expected to become germany's next transfer conservative click matt says his party has begun talks on forming a new government with the social, with the set or less social democrats. speaking to the press, just few minutes ago, he pledged that a new government would be in place by easter outset. time is of the essence of giving the challenges, facing the country in the course of if you do, to support a software tool and speak with the stuff i get from. and joining us now to talk about those challenges, as our chief political editor, me came across now she's down at the german parliament. mikayla clinic mount says he wants to form a new government quickly. is he making progress?
3:16 pm
this while he was setting you click off the market to speak to the says the democrats, on monday today he spoke to still tonsils off souls. and what we know is that they spoke about the key pressing issues. and that of course, includes how to i'm going to use going to both the defense and how to, how many can deliver what is a bold promise. 5 privilege mounts. that to me, will take a read leading role in the response to donald trump, who is so challenging the is to use to, to take on the security order here in europe at the moment. and that, of course will mean a lot more spending. and that puts everyone into a tricky situation because you can see oldest movement behind me that includes all the fresh and peas signing up. but until they get together for the very 1st time, which will be towards the end of march, the old parliament is still in place and that may have to take some serious
3:17 pm
financial decisions. so the rupture and transatlantic relations, and of course rushes a full scale invasion of ukraine. our major concerns here in germany. but um, would those be the most pressing challenges that germany's government will have to tackle? what about domestic concerns as well? that is, by far the most pressing talent, if you speak to everybody here, the impressive vote has got during the campaign, was that migration was the most pressing issue, which was sparks spy. and several incidents were rejected. asylum claimants and caused desk civilian that sent me through stabbings. but what i'm learning as we sit here and i did put a question too for these mats himself, about with that additional defense spending will come from, which is now a consensus between those 2 policies. who are likely to form the next government the concessions to do, sees you on the social democrats of the car insurance that will have sold well over form of the debt break that that ceiling is out of the question. that's what he
3:18 pm
told me. so that was news because there was still speculation about this and he wouldn't confirm that the figure of $200000000.00 for an extra spending budget for defense and was actually discussed. he said, these discussions are ongoing and he wouldn't even commit to any kind of timeline, whether any decisions would be taken by the old parliament. so clearly, that is a government to work in the making even before the new government is in place. and that may well involve the old parliament, which would still allow for 2 sides majority, which would be required for such sweeping meshes. so there's the dealing with the, the financial pressures and the germany's debt break. uh, what else did with it, but i'd have to say at that press conference. that's why he said that he already had very constructive talks. he was that with michael suda from bavaria. that's a very and says the policy of the conservatives to continuously push to roll out any kind of involvement of the greens in parliament. for this mass doesn't want to
3:19 pm
fully commit to the social democrats becoming the partner. that's part of the game of keeping your options open, but the mass will most likely dictate that the social democrats uh, agree, eventually at to join this coalition. but that is in build tension. frankly, the still current concept and placements don't really get tone. and they are widely divided on key issues of migration, for instance, particularly turning people away the border which the social democrats see as breaking european little the conservative argue it's possible. so these will be very intense and potentially long debates leading up to a new coalition here in germany. mckayla, thank you very much for bringing us up to date there. that was the w as chief political editor, me k, the coastal well, the german election saw a strong shift to the right support for the pol, rape alternative for germany. party almost doubled,
3:20 pm
most of their backing comes from the former eastern parts of germany, where deep divisions remain nearly 35 years after german reunification. the use alex guest went to frankfort on order to the border there with poland to find out why. with this election the far right if the has cemented its position as a force to be reckoned with, it has almost doubled its vote and for years its success shown by the stock divide on this map is down to strong support across almost all of east in germany with its and di migrant rhetoric and talk of closing boulders, the policy flipped many districts from the center left to the far right. like here in the city of concord order, where people are trying to make sense of the huge a if the gains it for steve, i don't understand it. maybe it's because of my age or it's the youth. didn't they
3:21 pm
get some education at home on? so how is it, you know, showing the super good? i don't think it's good because they have gained quite a lot. as soon as i can please. it's a mystery to me. ok to have spoken. that's who is of us. where and surprised? no. no, i wasn't, it was quite clear if you were the only ones containing the whole time compared to the other parties on the part time. says i think it's very, very good. i actually voted for the se myself, and to be honest, all these foreigners are really annoying frank, but it just isn't what it used to be. the migrants here were reluctant to talk to us about their concerns of a growing center for big sentiment in the region newly elected. if the low make out i not got upset, his party had responded to vote a frustration while he said of apologies carried on pushing unpopular policies
3:22 pm
that is going to san francisco. and we noticed more and more and campaign stands that people don't want the other parties dictating the funding of how they should think of or how they should talk easy to what they should eat, what kind of heating system they should use. because they drive costs or they want policies made by german politicians for jeremy need to find the item for digit con, fluid watched on. but for you and i, a political scientist at the cities university, the search of the far right is just part of why the global trend products moving towards the extreme on one explanation for that as that, um, what holds the middle together? what, what did hold it together? what's the problem? so the open society of the, of the welfare state of capitalism being somehow tamed by social redistribution mechanism. and the problem is no longer holds true for a lot of people. as many people i think were disappointed. germany's next
3:23 pm
conservative that government needs to deliver the change. many i calling for if it wants to bring both a spec from the fringes. and for more of this, we're joined now by kind of time a. he's a political scientist at the university of mines focusing on right wing x ray, vincent, and populism in germany, in western europe. professor all the time. and thanks for being with us to tell us why do you think support for the far right if the is so what stronger in the forward east germany than it is in western german states. yeah, from happened that we have served in previous elections. there is bigger demand for native use and also returning policies in the form of gd off the various reasons or explanations for that one being the lack of actual foreigners. so people see what they do not know, and they have fewer chances to have positive contacts with immigrants. immigration
3:24 pm
itself is a robin you phenomena indeed to nothing explanation is to rent is economic deprivation of this part of germany and d, awesome. from magic experience, all the transformation, often the one to 90, which brings people to sort of skate code for, for their own words. let's talk about who exactly is voting for the a, f d. we know it's concentrated largely but not exclusively in the east of the country, but the f t seem to have significant support among young people to think. yeah, so even the cost younger votes, we are not exactly use but much less likely to vote for the a d that has changed a if the support mom's piano boat is, is now pretty much the national average. and that is the course. the ac is no less normal part of the political landscape. having said that, they still have to rob
3:25 pm
a clear profile. repeat dominantly name. they usually work in cross voters voted from identifying as working, crossing the middle cloth. quite often they have a middle education qualifications, them not exactly stopping economically. x is basically that steps to pro, for and the most important issue for them is indeed immigration, and to feed into german society is changing for the worse. and that they have to stand against these changes. now the, if the is both far right and populous, but they, they're not the only populace party in germany or they, you know, this too. we have one do you party which is supposed to be less the authoritarian, the less conservative steps and song connection lines. they broke away from the left racket code or left record populist last party. so this is quite crowded space
3:26 pm
. i think the parties the less than d a d could not be more different and the solve block next lines face to deliver on the promise that they would be important on you for june politics. so if you take that picture together, you could argue that the central ground is indeed shrinking and that the motions of the political spectrum app become much more important. for us as pharma, thank you very much for speaking with us today. that was political science is kind of fun. thank you for asking me. as you're watching dw news, rember land, just re monitor the top stories we're following for you. the us a split with a 0 p and allies of the united nations by refusing to blame russia for its invasion of ukraine, sided with the likes of north korea to vote against the motion calling russia the aggressor and germany's likely next chancellor. conservative, like man says parks on forming
