burbock said she didn't even know.en it can happen circle today we took a very important step and not just a formal one on our way to the european union, ukraine submitted the second part of the answers to a special questionnaire that every country that wants to become part of the european union must fill out these few books in the photo answers to the eu questionnaire, ukraine finally filled them out. actually. this is a mere formality if all eu members would be in favor, but in the case of ukraine, this is far from the case, even the minister kuleba suspects another evil. if we don’t get candidate status, this means only one thing, that europe is trying to deceive us and we are not going to swallow it germany promises new supplies of weapons and training of ukrainian soldiers so that they can use it, otherwise it will turn out like with these fighters i found territorial defenses with eyebrows, our weapons consist of machine guns and machine guns and shovels, with which we must dig in to the front, they are already t

that's after a visit today by germany's foreign minister adelina burbock. she is the 1st cabinet member to travel to ukraine since russia invaded the country back in february. germany has been facing a lot of criticism for its initial reluctance to provide ukraine with heavy weaponry and for it's all reliance on russian energy. their book used today's visit to dispel delts and to witness 1st hand what russian forces have left behind in ukraine. she's on a difficult mission. german foreign minister emily in a bare voc visited butcher tuesday morning, accompanied by reporters insecurity guards. she's the 1st german cabinet member to visit ukraine since the russian invasion. this town represents the atrocities like nowhere else. and barrack is demanding an explanation. as cynthia, dean of fun surety, we owe it to the victims on these victims. you can feel it strongly here, at least these victims could be us. yes, i'm which i assign butcher is a suburb of key emphasis. it's light potsdam, near berlin, manage be it. you can see playground, supermarkets and peopl

naples door is open of aggression does not pay the meetings. host german foreign minister, and alina burbock, added an enthusiastic note she and on finland, if you are ready, we are ready fandango soon. after sweden's prime minister answered the call, thus just unprovoked invasion of ukraine is, sir, not only illegal and indefensible. it also undermines the european security order that sweden bits it security on. as the member of nato, sweden will not only achieve more security, but also contribute to more support to more security. one potential problem. turkey has expressed reservations about letting the 2 nordic countries join anchor a blame them for sheltering. curtis activists that turkey considers enemies of the state. there should be absolute security guarantees here. and this is not just about to candidate countries, but also about allied states who need to stop supporting terrorist organizations. but officials said they were certain, those differences could be resolved quickly. meanwhile, nothing will change right away. the finished parliament must ratify the decision and the nato ap

criticized for its initial reluctance to provide heavy weaponry and its reliance on russian fossil fuels. burbock used the visit to dispel doubts and to witness 1st hand what russian forces have left behind. she's on a difficult mission. german foreign minister emily in a bare voc visited butcher tuesday morning, accompanied by reporters insecurity guards. she's the 1st german cabinet member to visit ukraine since the russian invasion. this town represents the atrocities like nowhere else and bare bach is demanding an explanation. as cynthia, dean of fun surety, we owe it to the victims on these victims. you can feel it strongly here, at least these victims could be us. yes, i'm which i assign butcher is a suburb of key emphasis. it's light potsdam, la berlin, manage be it. you can see playground, supermarkets and people on the way to work in, and then you see the worst evidence of crimes right next to them attacking. get now done even more than $400.00 bodies were found here after russian troops with through. ethan is just a few kilometers away. this other, the kia was also on the massive rushin

supplying ukraine with heavy weapons, the activists turned on the sirens, shouted into the targeted burbock, the instigator of war and the liar, it soon became known that the event with the participation of the head of the german foreign ministry was canceled as reported for security reasons? today stands out the force of a number of important innovations - memorials of military memory with an eternal flame. now they will be supplied with gas free of charge, and the opportunities for obtaining maternity capital for single fathers are expanding. in particular, after the death of the mother of the children, even if she was not a citizen of russia, the acceptance of applications from low-income families for a new payment for children from 8 to 17 years old begins, this can be done through public services, additional documents are not required, another law concerns consumer loans. it prohibits writing off lump-sum social payments to pay off debt. bis without the written permission of the debtor. well, finally, the rate on preferential mortgages on a new building is reduced from 12:00 to 9%, and

video link. germany currently holds the presidency of the g. 7 german foreign minister, and alina burbock said, the world's wealthiest nations have a responsibility to aid countries suffering, suffering, the economic consequences of russia's invasion. yeah, it stacks in a 3 not still has the strongest industrialized nations among the democracies. we have a special responsibility and we don't just assume this responsibility. we want to work together to ensure that the 141 states that have condemned this brutal war of aggression in the strongest possible terms within the framework of the un or not now left in the lurch and us, yes, but rather we stand by their side and in solidarity with all countries in the world suffering the brutal consequences of this war of aggression lighted. in we see you, we hear you and we support you. you don't actually know. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. a memorial service will al jazeera journalists, sharing a claim has been held in the palestinian city of rama. she was killed while covering, and he's really rate in t

and at the award ceremony in the german, a city of and german foreign minister and elaina burbock praised the 3 women thing, their message was not just for bella. ruth, for the whole of europe. the i'm the thing that you bought out your efforts to remind us that we cannot close our eyes when freedom is threatened. we must never look away, but we must take action early on. so that is the responsibility of all of us. and a part of that responsibility is the reorganizing of german and european policy with respect to our neighbors in the east to develop a new security framework. and we didn't ask for this, but we owe it to our eastern neighbors on shady let's bring out to be now with the other stories making news around the world. the palestinian authority says its investigation into the shooting and death of alger 0 reporter sharina of shows that she was deliberately killed by an israeli soldier, reporters that's 2 weeks ago during an israeli military operation in the west bank cause international outrage. israel's request for a joint investigation was rejected by the palestinian leadership

i think they've believed that ad tables have turned a little bit, especially because of analytic burbock, germany's foreign minister as recent visit to germany, the easing of tensions between germany and ukraine, which have been important for this country. because germany has been a kind of shaping european policy towards ukraine and now with a howitzer as being delivered from the netherlands and germany, which are going to be important in the battle for the dumbass. they see that the military in ports are coming in their favor. now, a humanitarian deliveries are also important. as several countries, including us, have announced another huge package of humanitarian aid to ukraine. and for a lot of people, this is a matter of life and death, especially in areas around mar, you pull harkey, even in the east where people are living off. if you have humana, terry, and aid. i'm sure it's great for morale. when someone like the german foreign minister turns up to you claim it to ukrainians, belief they can actually win this war. now here in western ukraine, there has been an undying belief tha

and elisa burbock, that the german foreign minister saying yesterday that 25000000 tons of grain is stuck in ukraine. they should be out in ships dest into countries where there's a pressing need for food supplies. instead, it's stuck in ukraine because of a russian blockade on ports like odessa in the black sea. so the g 7 plus the world food program, also calling on russia to lift that blockade. but they're also here discussing potential ways of trying to get that grain out of ukraine over land roots by rail and by road the germans saying that they're certainly a willing to help with trying to achieve that. the thing is land roots compared to see roots from massive bottleneck. so the chance of really getting all of that grain out, or without access to, to those ports becoming fully functional. that seems quite slim. so really, the message from the g 7 is to vladimir putin open up those ports to make it possible to get shipped out of odessa and other ukrainian port. richard. anything else we should look out for the meeting today? what we're looking forward to hearing from the ukrainian f

richard walker, deutsch of ellen, many sanks of minister burbock and you're moving on to earth. nato foreign ministers talks, of course, rach, up type ad one. i made a surprise comment yesterday suggesting that he did not support sweden and finland joining the alliance, accusing them of harboring terrorist groups. and what's your response to that, and what is your message to reach her type or the one who appears to have given rather a nice gift to vladimir putin? he had his lung, sir, in all every country in europe. it was on a business cotton as on an over then if a cannot aliana cry and have really decide about its alliance partners or its defense alliance partners, either in the same is true for sweden and finland and the government i belong to has said very clearly that we more than to support finland and sweden's accession to nato. these are both strong countries in terms of their own defense capabilities . and for that reason alone, their membership in nato would strengthen nato. and they are strong democracies who have lived with all of their neighbors for decades peacefully.

another gresham does not pay the meetings. host german foreign minister and helena burbock added an enthusiastic note. she is on finland. if you are ready, we already feel like one potential problem. turkey has expressed reservations about letting the 2 nordic countries join anchor blames them for sheltering. curtis activists that turkey considers enemies of the state. there should be absolute security guarantees here. and this is not just about to candidate countries, but also about allied states who need to stop supporting terrorist organizations. but officials said they were certain those differences could be resolved quickly. meanwhile, nothing will change right away. the finished parliament must ratify the decision and the nato application process could take up to a year. early, i spoke to edo, sat a k, a political scientist at the university of helsinki, and i asked her why finland didn't join nato earlier. well, i think the 1st reason is that there was to says in a lack of public support, i mean according to the tools somewhere between 20 to 70 percent, only when the date of joining the a

speak to you after we hear from and alina burbock, thanks. and we are back with benjamin alvarez group here in the studio. you're listening to what richard had to say anything, take your fancy. i think what he said, reaching out beyond the club of having these 4 countries, he mentioned india because richard was there and covered also the visit of european commission president, also a funder line, who met with a net vendor morty with india prime minister, who was here in berlin and met with all shoulder was the 1st government consultations between india and germany. and it shows how germany is trying to get to those new allies also as well who think that they also have a special relationship to russia. so germany with the g 7 presidency embedded, 4 countries, we spoke about india, south africa, and synagogue, took 2 countries that the german chancellor will visit in may. and those also indonesia who has the presidency of the d. 20 meeting. that's also interesting because russia is part of the g 20 of course it's not part of the g. and so the h

now using what burbock calls putin's weapons in a hybrid war as the most frightening argument, podolakns for ukraine will be the key to overcoming the food crisis. that is, he, like a potion, will not take it completely under control, despite the fact that he practically does not control it at first special operations, that is, kiev does not hesitate to threaten now to undermine the gas contracts of europeans, the poles are doing the same, prohibiting transit through their section of the pipe. yamal europe yes, well, in response too we will block the gas line. distributed, but the poles after all promise that, in principle, they will cope without us and will buy gas from germany, it will no longer be russian for them, but german economy. they say that germany will not be able to cope if there is an embargo, no matter how difficult it is not only to force sales with threats, it is even more difficult to understand what the european commission means when they announce that any violation of sanctions is a crime in the eu, but to interfere with those who open accounts in our banks, she wil

another burbock performance. i had to cancel the unknown sprayed corrosive gas on the stage. to the chancellor. olaf scholz with a demand not to send weapons to ukraine has already been signed by more than 77,000 users. the rejection of russian gas will force the european union to suspend all the industry claims the german magazine spiegel to fill underground storage with fuel and prepare for winter. will have to turn off the gas, steel chemical and cement plants until the end of july is unclear. will the european union go for it, but experts see no options to quickly replace supplies from russia ?

they are kind of scripting what mrs. burbock is saying, and even what mr. charles is going to say they're putting in this context run to say, starting had already planned to begin a war valid before hitler rose to power. no, this was yesterday on the headline. so they're comparing putin either was started. busy was hitler, but sometimes they're not clear about mr. shawn's likes to link them to, to hitler, and you know, on george, you and i've got, we've crossed this bridge before. okay. i mean, i remember in the new york review book that was like in what was it like 19919293, something like that. okay. you know, a new, revisionist a, and this is happening again, except for what the differences in some of those were crazy academics. now politicians are in, i'm in, in, in on it to go ahead. george, it is no question of that. and that was in the next 1020 years. the willfully, a historical anti historical germans will convince themselves that they were actually victims. i've been well to that. they were actually the victims of aggression by silent when jackson

who is blocking the shutdown of russia from swift one of the main opponents is germany schultz uh burbock others, they don't talk about it. every day they make such statements. they are formally disadvantageous to them, but russia knows perfectly well that behind the scenes germany vetoes. it's uh these proposals to brussels and washington so when we say let's cut germany off immediately. it is clear that germany is something too. and, if germany stops tomorrow, how do you say to vibrate it, well, then you know, maybe then already, when when in 2003, in 2002-2003, the zhretr and chirac stood together with russia against the war in iraq against american aggression, there russia had one approach to germany when the schöder was replaced by another chancellor with a tougher approach to russia and then in the fourteenth year germany sponsored including, but hmm maidan in ukraine, this approach to germany has also changed and now there are even dirty more aggressive ones, then the russian approach of germany will also change, only with regard to the export of oil and other energy resources we w

she is lena burbock, who just recently severely criticized the turkish judiciary, a dispute between new revealed significant disagreements between the countries of the alliance. but can ankara really block nato expansion? there are precedents in 2008, greece vetoed an invitation to the north atlantic bloc of macedonia because of the name anu, coincided with the name of the historical region of greece, as a result, north macedonia joined nato only 12 years later. now events are developing rapidly finland sweden abandoned the idea of ​​holding referendums authorities decided in order to find out the will of the people enough public opinion polls. on monday, the issue of the country's future in nato will be discussed in the finnish parliament and put to a vote. the head of the finnish foreign ministry announced an application for joining the military bloc. his country will probably file as early as wednesday. at the same time, according to the information of the german press, it can be considered as early as may. why such a rush, if the nato summit in madrid is scheduled for the end of jun

and it's a tra, on just keeping the focus on germany. foreign minister alina burbock, has accused rush of engaging in a hybrid war term, again, which exacerbates world hunger at the same time boon dish diag members say that living costs are in teaching into all germans. well, with some reaping significant benefits. yeah. did virus diag? and once diag prices are rising and eating away people's income and wealth, even the middle class need to cut spending. now, while those who could barely make ends meet before and now in despair, yet despite rising prices, not everyone is getting poorer. in march alone, oil companies declared an additional $1200000000.00 euros and profit. this is brave and profiteering from war, and the government is closing its eyes to this. well, additionally, the european move board has warrant not increased costs, are threatening the survival of dairy farmers and mill production in europe. the main problem is the extreme rise and cost you to higher prices for imports like fertilizers, feet, an energy supplies. the european statistical office also reported a signific

russian flow scheme is technologically impossible. meanwhile, germany's at top diplomat on atlanta burbock has said that on a visit to achieve that her country intends to completely stop is importance of fossil fuels from russia. how may i say we have understood more than clearly that economic dependence does not bring security? if the aggressor simply does not care about the well being of its people. that is why we are decisively reducing our dependence on russian energy to 0 and doing so forever in germany is now looking for alternative energy provider to have turned to the gulf states of car to discuss boosting supplies. but the countries have reportedly failed to reach a deal due to disagreements over key conditions. now cut our once a long term contract for at least 20 years, as well as a destination clause that would prevent the gas from being re routed to other european countries. berlin reportedly opposes those points as it appears, reluctant to lock itself into such a long term agreement without the ability to resolve the commodity. a co director of the institute for the analysis

it's no, i am following a burbock there, the german foreign minister. let's take a look now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. a memorial service for the al jazeera journalist, sharina i will actually has been held in the palestinian city of remodel. she was killed the day before on covering and is really raised in the west bay palestinian leader say israel was fully responsible for the journalist death. israel says it's still unclear who killed her. u. s. senate democrats have failed to pass a bill that would have made the right to an abortion a federal law. the legislation was meant to counter the supreme court expected. moved to overturn the landmark roe vs wade ruling, which originally legalized abortion across the united states. was staying in the u . s. president biden has called for a renewed fight against coven 19 while addressing a virtual gathering on the pandemic in a recorded video message by warned against complacency when it comes to battling the virus. now the same, it comes as the u. s. is approaching 1

we just need to be taught how to actually applies as we have heard there from a foreign minister burbock. apparently, training training on the whole bits are, are about to begin in germany. but also this is actually what people here and ukraine we're looking forward to here. hearing is that germany says we are going to support germany is going to support ukraine when it comes to your membership. however, at the same time they of course want to keep and all of that realistic saying that this is not going to happen overnight is not going to be a shortcut when come see you memberships have and the have to remember people took to the streets and of 2013 here and key of people who are dying because of they are longing towards the vast towards the european union. in fact, a clear about the foreign minister of, of ukraine said this is an issue of life and death the u membership. but once again, here are germany really wants to keep those hopes, quite realistic that this is something that's not going to happen overnight. having said that, were there any remaining points of tensions? it seems for
