u. s. and germany would, and britain and france would happily supply ukraine was even more a long range capabilities and intelligence which is very costly. and they are one of these political risk, a sense of beginning. so yeah, and other nations, apparently are following in line with ukraine's position. the big holdout remains the united states of what does the us, the binding ministration know that apparently the other allies do not, as well i think apart from, as i said, political considerations and the potential escalation of the conflict. the binding ministration is probably questioning the military sense of using a long range weapons, so using and deep strikes inside russia's territory. and we have seen certain criticism from the us when ukraine was striking russian oil refineries, which affected the gas prices. so for the u. s. there are other interest at stake, which are trumping that off and secure with you. a few crane and ukraine's ability to actually damage russia and make so boar much more costly for putting to that was marina monroe. and speaking with you, she is a military analyst fro

u. s. and germany who are very skeptical when we talk about the usage of the west and made weapons and ukraine. yeah, we, we have heard that from the us president from the german chancellor. the that we don't want to do anything that would escalate this conflict. so what about that risk? i mean russia has made it clear how it views arms that strike gets territory as a toto escalation. that is what the kremlin is saying. the kremlin is threatening the west and that the conflict could escalate. and of course, there is a real risk for germany, but also for other allies, especially for the you ask, they don't want to be direct into a direct conflict with russia. however, we also have to say that over the course of this war in the last 2 years, we have seen that the individual life change their strategy and kind of a did, they were willing to provide it to ukraine. we had the discussion about western mates, tangs, they were then provided to ukraine. we had the discussion about whether it is okay to provide ukraine with ab $165.00 to jets. know you to a and the pilots are being trained on those of f

u. s. and germany also just on sending a kind of these, a mental health also to a germany of this tomahawks. and so long range a capabilities they will be sent over from the us to germany starting in the next a couple of years to. so it shows also that as broad or a partnership that both countries half and also this discussion isn't going. and that's also something that outgoing a nato secretary general getting schultz and back sad because he said if there is a totally those brushing artillery and ukraine wants to reach that, they also will need to for you on the russian territory. so that's not something a new, but for ukraine, of course, it's having this world irreversible in this community. there was a lot of wondering, it'd between diplomats, if it was a reversible, would actually be in the community k. and now of course, it questions arise on what reversible means, because they can be of course, several options that have, that can happen there. change for example and discharge you. if you claim that's not the case, but if something is the reverse of all what might happen, for example,

u. s. and germany have condemned the latest attack paramedics race through the streets. just moments of to poll tava was rocked by the rule of explosions. russian ballistic missiles slammed into a hospital and of the military institute of communications. this speed, leaving victims with little time to run for cover just to get the air raids, alert, started off and in just a minute there were 2 explosions. we thought it was somewhere in our house. then we got ready to go out and realized that it was the communications institute. officials say dozens were killed and hundreds injured. more victims of believes to be trapped under the rubble. those who could be freed were rushed to hospital. soon on the 7th floor of the operating room, almost all operating tables, teams, and anesthesia teams were involved in prod you c o. p t. their abundance of mine, blast injuries, french's and it's a combination of injuries. residents raced to donate blood for the victims. as presidents of lensky urged wisdom allies to help prevent these attacks, which seems to be to once again, we edge eve

u. s. and germany. according to the style comb, international piece, research ins to choose 67 percent of as well as the imports of major weapons came from the us. from 2013 to 2020 to 28 percent from germany, and 5 percent from italy. the us does not publish details on its military a to israel, but media reports they use has supplied tens of thousands of weapons since the october 7th terrorist attack, including bunker, boasting bombs and precision guided munitions. in 2022 germany approved the sale of 32300000 euros worth of defense equipment to israel. that figure rose 10 fold and 20232300 26500000 euros. most of the permits for granted after october 7th, and included portable on 2 tank weapons and ammunition that make concerns that supplying weapons for the warrant guys may violate international humanitarian law. easily on spain say they have halted or arms exports to israel. citizens in mid february, acor's in the netherlands, ordered the dutch government to block exports the f 35 spicer jet parts t

u. s. and germany, which account for the vast majority of israel's arms exploit both voted against. and that's exactly what many is saying that the us needs to do more needs to use of leverage to condition and put more pressure on the government to spend a minute on yelling. israel definitely use benjamin alvarez in washington. thank you so much. the commander of ron's powerful revolutionary guard has said there will be retell union for an air strikes that destroyed or runs console with in serial on monday was killing 12 people. he blames the strikes on israel entire, on thousands, turned down to attend a funeral for 7 members of the guard, including 2 senior generals or killed. and the blast flashes between israel and around the back has blown along the is really lebanese border, have increased since the war, and also began nearly 6 months ago. the funeral took place on a could stay an annual event when people in iran and elsewhere around the world stage pro palestinian rallies. simon maven is the middle east analyst at lancaster university and you told me how serious israel should

u. s. and germany have now put their funding on hold funding, which the u. n says is sustaining millions of palestinians this trickle of you in a to is oh, many gallons have to 8 right now. an estimated one and full people, stopping in the palestinian geometry. but even these live saving supplies have been throwing into doubt of to israel accuse relief workers for the u. n. agency on risk of being involved in a mazda is october stevens attacks of the $13000.00 and stuff is in gaza. 12 have been implicated during the countries accounting for most of owners funding have now post payments. the u. n. has condemned what it calls the current alleged acts, but it is urging donors to reconsider the funding for ease. the diary needs of the desperate population this or must be met at this point, the outlook for underlining the millions of people it serves not only and gaza but also in east jerusalem in the wet in the west bank. jordan 11 on and syria is very bleak. the united states was one of the 5th countries to suspend funding, but sees it could be restored dependi

u. s. and germany suspended the unrest funding. as a result, the recent investigation says that israel has not provided evidence. sutton, unrra employees were members of terrorist organizations. jonathan found that is a spokesman full on rough aisle somalia, for his reactions to the news that germany is going to resume corporation with his organization. i mean, this is a course of very, very positive development. i do want to stress that the german, the last month that already come forward with fresh funding of 45000000 euros for our work in the west bank of georgia and syria and 11. and so what we're talking about today specifically is a kind of on locking of the, the remaining suspension on funding for gaza. which is critical moments, of course, given the, the, the normal scaling through my entire process and gaza is absolutely essential that gemini and other, the countries act too hastily when they suspended payments to unread without waiting for a thorough examination of, as well as the allegations. well of course, i mean i'm n

u. s. and germany suspended that under a funding. as a result, the recent investigation says that israel has not provided evidence. sutton, unread employees, were members of terrorist organizations. a, jonathan silas, the spokes person. so the you an agency, so palestinian refugees. i asked him earlier, his reaction to the news that germany will now review corporation with his organization. this is of course, a very, very positive developments. i do want to stress that the gemini last month that already come forward with fresh funding of 45000000 euros for our work in the west bank of georgia and syria and 11. i'm. so what we're talking about today specifically is a kind of on logging of the, the remaining suspension on funding for gaza, which is this critical mileage. of course, given the, the, the enormous scale to pick your monetary process and gaza is absolutely essential that gemini and other, the countries act too hastily when they suspended payments to unreal without waiting for a thorough examination of as well as the allegat

u. s. and germany for example, which are supplying as well, with weapons? so, i mean, i, i not, it doesn't affect them directly, but certainly they could be domestic feel, litigation in both countries because they are, by far the largest arm suppliers, the israel's, you mention to try to go to the courts in each country. not to say that there is complicity in, in germany's actions. uh, you know, offensive that the, both the, both the world court has what one of condemning and has been condemned to the general assembly of united nations as well. so this may well open up domestic challenges that will build upon what the court has said. yeah, definitely be interesting to see how that pans out. but this ruling is just one part of a broader complaint that side offical filed late last year, accusing israel's committing genocide and gaza will impact as today's decision house on that. well, it probably continues to hurt in the court with respect to israel's conduct. could you had a visual view of what the, what the audience in the court booked like today. there wer

u. s. and germany who are very skeptical, when we talk about the usage of the west and made weapons senior queen are going to take the story now from prague to washington. i'm joined now by douglas lutes. he's a former lieutenant general of the us army, and a former us ambassador to nato and faster it's good to have you on the program to the united states so far is banned to ukraine from using us made weapons inside russian territory. we're getting reports now that the us may partially lift, that ban. what do you think has changed? i really think the most immediate change is the russian massing of ground forces. just across the border inside russia, but opposite the 2nd largest city in ukraine parties. and from the mass forces, russia has been showing car key, showing the civilian infrastructure, endangering just simply an occupation. and this, i think, is the proximate reason for this apparent shift in us policy. the bigger story, however, is that for more than 2 years, russia has been launching attacks from russian territory on of ukrainian civilian population, civilian infrastructure, a

u. s. and germany has started removing some diplomatic stuff and the families. let's bring you now some live pictures that you can see that from the sky line, looking like the baby boots 11 on capital where it's just off to 3 o'clock sunday morning morning. little cool time of the city has been under constant time biased ready forces since friday already hush him looks back now the life and death of the late husband. lita. how so? most of the house on the front lot dedicated his life to standing up to is right. what there was no escaping did retaliation it on least on friday, the shuttle associated with his loss confirmed his desk on such a day. this is how does that mean allowing us to build a, a say up house almost, fella has a know so let his will law for over 3 decades. he was seen as a hero, not justin 11 on but beyond. the news was shocking. it will talk to his such news that chicago, hans, because he is the father, the mother, the brother, he has everything in this world. there was nothing left now. we were relying on him and he was our role model. the ph

u. s. and germany would vote yes. there are grounds to be optimistic, not the least for me, the most optimistic thing is the young people. if you have told me that people are with a king coming out to demonstrations week after week after week after week, i for 6 months, i would never have believed that the tenacity, the conviction, you know, it's, it's really an extraordinary sight to behold. now somebody said that was a demonstration, 3 weeks ago it was a washington square park and then happen was pouring green. and it was a saturday. and there were about 50000 people there. and um, they were all around $25.00. i was an age cohort of one, and then there was a gap memory that was a gap of 40 years ago. and then after was over, lot of people went down to the subway to go home. and so in the subway platform on this side of the, of the train tracks and then the other side of the change of everyone's still chatting. everyone still jeremy, if you know the scene from the civil rights movement united states, when they were i

u. s. and germany are stuck in a power vacuum. it's war against.

u. s. and germany suspended their own ra funding. as a result, recent investigation says that israel is not provided evidence that certain when wrong employees were members of terrorist organizations. well, earlier d w spoke of germany's development, administer about the overall investigation. she had this to say about the agencies work. that report feels very clear that i'm the right is able to do the job here that it's not part of her mazda to separate the phone, them us. and i think these reports of we will lose these analyses. a lot of these reports and data, but the 1st uh, what we see is that this isn't very important for me for to, to show that on the right, it's doing a very good job here. amnesty international has said the world is seeing a near breakdown of international law and its sides, multiple complex as the main threats. the annual report on human rights singles out israel and its allies for quote, multiple violations committed in gaza. and also says, china and russia are demonstrating a willingness to destroy the rul

. military infrastructure here in germany and the u. s. army has a base in the south and also where to trans ukrainians hoses in germany's interior, minnesota and nancy phasers as her country support for ukraine will not waiver we tried smart security services have prevented possible bomb attacks, intended to damage and undermine our military assistance to ukraine, this is a particularly serious case of alleged by activity for pollutants criminal regime, right? to put in separate sugars. him that will continue to work to prevent any seems like these to threaten us was in rushes, murderous war of aggression against you. claims the gun or security services have stuffed up or protective measures against hybrid threats from the russian regime. focused on the event will continue to provide a mazda of support to ukraine and will not allow ourselves to be intimidated as germany's interior minister, nancy phase of to the conflict in the middle east. now, european union leaders have agreed new sanctions against iran following last weekends. attack

u. s. and germany are stuck in a power vacuum. it's war against russia continues to escalate. on to the point we ask germany's downfall kind of new governments and turn things around the welcome to this weeks to the point in time. so yeah, i guess it's good to have you with us. let's meet today's guests, which i like who's not is detail use chief political editor here in berlin. felix me is a geo economics editor at germany's in soup budget sites on the game. and melinda crane is a journalist moderator and political analyst specialized in the us. and of course, anyone who paid attention will have recognized the linda as a familiar face here on to the point of a long time host of to show it's so good to have you with us. now on the other side of this table. welcome home. well, crazy times here in germany, it's really um, uh, especially a new particular situation. as a few years ago, jeremy was still a beacon of stability and comic power steering europe. now, pretty much every sector of this country is in crisis. miss. i would like to start with you, how did we get here? well, um

u. s. and germany, where they came to an agreement now who followed who i wouldn't even say masses that much. the fact is that the left. so it's can go out to the german public and say, i am not going to go it alone. he's repeated this an every discussion about every new weapon system that ukraine was asking for. over the last 2 and a half years, germany doesn't want to be seen as an attack by russia. and you have to add that in the notes, the stresses that ukraine has, the right, according to international load, to carry out those attacks on military infrastructure. because attacks on foreign territory are colors by international law. that's how the general government sees that if they serve the purpose on self defense. and one last thoughts on this latest decision, it appears to show that germany does trust the ukrainian leadership so far they've always had head to the limits they've been given by the allies. but the could this cause of re think on germany's decision not to deliver those towards a long range. it caused me signs that ukraine has been asking for lots of deadman sounds like k

u. s. and germany was that they are not against them. they have no limits on using their weapons. except for this strong set in stone shuttles. so i'm saying that key if did this invasion incurs without asking in the rest or even without asking about for help dependent on says key of still gets intelligence information and that didn't exclude the crust, squeeze the region. so here is help the key of went into course without asking me i used to a reference for that because officially that was for been because it, this is unreal. so this was planned with the west or even by the west. i don't know, but the west can say they didn't know this. they were surprised. this is unreal. well, like said the us claims it has nothing to do with the cross border attempts but the lens, he's a aide as a mid to spare. key of is consulting with his part. the said, well, he didn't mention any particular country, so likes, but as a point to get washington despite this denial was, will take on that. oh yeah. well, the question is, was like, if it was like it was as well uh, we consulted we, we talked ab

u. s. and germany suspended that under a funding as a result of the recent investigation says that israel has not provided evidence that certain on right employees. what members of terrorist organizations w, spoke with germany's development administer about the unrest investigation. she had this to say about the agencies walk on that report. so it's very clear that algebra is able to do the job here, that it's not part of our mazda to separate the phone, them us. and i think these reports of, we will on the list these and these a lot of these reports and data. but the 1st uh, what we see is that this isn't very important for us will be poor to, to show that otherwise doing a very good job here. jonathan falla is the spokes person for the you, an agency for palestinian refugees unwrapped. welcome to g w. jonathan, thanks so much for your time today. can we begin with your reaction to the news that germany will now review corporation with your organization? i mean, this is a very, very positive developments. i do want to stress that the gemini last month that already come forward with fresh fun

u. s. and germany? and so i, i think the answer is, is yes. the, the, the bind for united states is not new, which existed has been the case that various levels and was of intense frustration the higher or lower. but for decades for longer than my career and my career goes back to the early 19 eighties. the us is committed to losing israel's sovereignty, survival and, and the success is the state and also committed to a 2 state solution. and then domestically has a challenge challenge because no government and no society ever speaks in one voice . and so the us pulled in conflicting directions. so ultimately it is can consistently decided and it will continue to, i'm sure, does that. whatever the frustrations that we have with israel united states does for a, for anger, of the us may feel at errors that israel is making. that if it has to come down to a binary solution of support israel so that it can, it can survive. so that's what will happen. all right, thanks so much glen, call the one of central garza's main hospitals along so has been ha

u. s. u k, and germany have suspended funding, totaling some $450000000.00 under a chief felipe. and as it really says, the agency's ability to fulfill its mandate is now on the serious threat. adding to that moving a 150 or more facilities have been targeted by is really as strikes since the war began. as i spoke to tomorrow, i'll revise folks one minute for and i'd be gone by asking just how much longer and i can survive without adequate funding. we go through us for a few more weeks. thanks to the news. the for the new funding we got from some of our donors who are still supporters of the agency and believe or is in the mission of the despite the decision by some of our other largest builders. this is better. so for example, ireland just gave us $20000000.00 euros. for example, we managed to advance the payments by some of our donors. so payment that was supposed to be scheduled for later in the year. it was paid in advance to allow us to hold on for another few weeks. and the real question is, will that take you now to the hague, where the international court of justice is on
