that we're working with the chancellery in 2010 when it was clear what was going to happen in hungary. the oppression of the media, crackdown on civil society and so you do realize where this is going. and are we going to any point accept all this? >> no thanks to the german chancellor that it is moved in a different direction. i would push back on the one point. your point is taken and we need that balance is so important. that's why i asked you. you're the person here who is you know, in a sense but partisan. you are part of the government. you were appointed as ambassador towashington . and you've worked quite closely with the german chancellor through all of these security conferences and i'm kind of want before we go to the audience i want to give you a chance to express personal. you must do little bit of your relationship with her. share an anecdote or two that matters to you. that would reveal a little bit of the person so just between us friends here in the panel. >>. >> my tenure in washington have been subsequently in london but i think it's typical for the way she worked.

the petition of czechoslovakia by germany, poland and hungary. the beginning of world war 2. having realize the danger in march 1939 and the soviet union proposed an anti fascist alliance to western countries. this i've been trying to rally the west, make a stand with them against fascism. they opposed munich. they oppose allowing hitler in to check his ma vakio. but nobody would do that. so wasn't just in 1939 when the soviet proposed in elias britain and france against hitler in a bit actually throughout the late last half of the 19th. thirty's, that the soviets were pushing for that. had that happened, we could have stop hitler. we could have prevented the holocaust. we could have prevent the world war 2 because hitler was weak and knew he was weak. and he was bluffing. and assuming that the west was not going to stand up to him at the west, was hoping him any real elements in the west. we're hoping that he was just going to go east and so in the thirty's. the soviets are the ones who are most strongly opposed to the nazis. ah no one else seemed wrong. when i was just a to

its ruling is likely to provoke massive tension between the in you, in poland and hungary. what the ruling does is essentially means that the cash handout suit member states across the block will be dependent, says, or can be dependent on them, trusting in law abiding by the rule of law, the primus, you've, you know, which some say is the cornerstone of this block, it's been a source of contention for you. and the court made that decision today saying that the primacy of, you know, had to stand. now what we have heard over the last year from the news that poland and hungary countries which are sliding back when it comes to democracy, that they are undermining the primacy of laws. the laws such countries that join the you see that they will abide by their attention to the whole sways of things such as the judiciary, meteor, independent, women's rights, and also migrant. so many, many issues. and now the court is keeping the european commission this ability to with holes payments in the future. that has, of course, already been quite extreme reaction on that from colon. let's

the moves box outrage in poland and hungary story on law off to the break. the ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation community? are you going the right way? or are you being that somewhere direct? what is truth with in the world corrupted? you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. but i'll be speaking to guess all the world politics sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. ah. welcome back. the candidates prime minister's feeling the heat offer him peace round on on him, for triggering never before use emergency paolo's to deal with an ongoing protest by truck drivers against vaccine manders and his opposition leader told him it would have been better if he just stayed at his cottage where he was accused of escaping take when the protest 1st flared up. isn't it true that the prime minister's actions could serve to actually make things worse and not make things better? keeping canadian saf

it's a major defeat for poland, hungary. we should challenge the use freezing of billions of years marked for the countries pundum. recovering himself, he shot at the whiskey with more its ruling is likely to provoke a massive tension between the in you and poland and hungary. what the ruling does is essentially means that you cash handouts to the member states across the block will be dependent. it says can be dependent on them, trusting in the rule of law abiding by the rule of law, the primus, you've, you know, which some say is the cornerstone of this block. it's been a source of contention for you. and the court made that decision today saying that the primacy of, you know, had to stand. now, what we have heard over the last year from the you is the poland and hungary are countries which are sliding back when it comes to democracy. that they are undermining the primacy of law is the laws that the countries that join the you see that they will abide by their attention to the whole ways of things such as the fishery me de

they are going to relatives in hungary. i spoke to an elderly lady whose grandchildren crossed the border last night, but she stayed. she just came across this morning for food. shops on the ukrainian side are empty and a petrol is hard to come by. many elderly people do not want to leave their homes with several saying that the russians are still too far away from their region. the q at the border is slow, with many more trying to cross to day. and in the coming days, oliver toss reporting. now china has come under pressure from western countries for his refusal to describe rushes attack on ukraine as an invasion. u. s. president joe biden says that any country that backed russia's invasion would be stained by association. in the news briefing this morning, chinese foreign ministry spokesperson a one when been hit back country whose reputation will be stay. and he said, is that to which in inferred in other nations, internal of interfered in other nations and internal affairs in the name of human rights and which went on t

they were injured when trying to come in to hungary . and of course, there's been a lot of controversy these past several years about the use migration policy. when you see how different the response is right now, to refugees from ukraine, who obviously should be given safe harbor. but when you see how different the responses to the refugees from ukraine to what the actions were when it was refugees coming from syria, iraq, afghanistan, and other countries. what do you make of that? i think this is something that we need to reflect over and i think, you know, this is a, it's an incredibly important principle in international law that anybody who is in need of safety should receive it. where they, where they might be able to get it. and this is in the position of the norwegian refugee council as well in the last, in the last several years. as we have seen, people from other places other around the world seeking refuge in europe is that we have to let those with real protection need in and to make sure that they are safe as well. and you k

so hungary right now appears to be aligned with its fellow e. u members also on sanctions so far. and that is a welcome change compared to some of the behavior that we have seen in the past from hungary. thank you for the update of the chief political correspondent in the cry. you're watching dw, i rolling coverage of the russian invasion. if you can, re, crane continues in just a moment with nicole relish i with with who ah 3 should ship or was more what? which genetic game mansion, bulldog. they're out there some way i should. booth with who is the aggressor? to chose this war? have to budget with with in many countries, education is still a privilege. tardy is one of the main causes some young children walk in mind jobs instead of going to class others can attend classes only after they finish working with millions of children all over the world. can't go to school with, we ask why? because education makes the world more just make up your own mind. d. w, made for mines. some are driven by merciless greed. others are fighting the destruction. forget to limit the invaders came to

mr orban, i put it to him that hungary has been slow to defend hungary has been slow to condemn russiaet vladimir putin himself in moscow a few weeks ago. he'd shared, he said, all the information that he got from putin with nato, with hungary's nato allies and basically i think there is a shift in the hungarian government position. they were reluctant to condemn russia, they have been very proud of their friendship with russia, despite their eu and nato membership and now, they are really falling into line, i would say, with other eu and nato countries, condemning the russian aggression and doing what they can on border crossings like this to help the people streaming across. nick thought there on the hungarian border. when russian media suggested that president zelenskyy had fled ukraine, he posted a video to show he hadn't and when america offered evacuation, he said i need ammunition and not a ride. ros atkins has more about ukraine's wartime leader. president zelenskyy addressed the nation. translation: the enemy has marked me as the number one target. _ my family is the number tw

and those who do it with a credit imposed since they've hungary will now enjoy guaranteed long term gas supplies off the budapest times up a major deal with russian energy giant gas prod, giving gary and the cheapest price in the e. u. in and around the kremlin will have no way to hide. we will make sure that those who share responsibility will share a happy, told the british foreign secretary is tough. so con, russia has met with laughter in parliament as m. p. 's notes, the government simply trying to shift attention from it's a huge party gate scandal with no job, no job, no way. canadian truckers continue to take a stand against kobe mandates on the scathing was the prime minister. he's called me a racist extremist. what have i done to the u. s. is continuing to on saudi arabia raising key questions. i have a president biden pledge to help, and the world in yemen with a very will welcome you're watching all the international with the latest world news updates. it's great to have you with this out. i. we start with a developing story in the german city of hamburg, where a schools on

will do what hungary does.t's still incredible for a country to come out and say it. it puts it right out in the open and it opens the door to others. how significant is that? >> very significant, erin. the big thing here so keep in mind, that is as key as hungary is to certain things that nato does, it is not france. it is not germany. it is not britain. so those are key factors when putin looks at this in that way. because those countries are going to be very important to the cohesiveness of nato. the smaller countries are important. but the key countries are big countries. if they stay together, then putin has a lot of pressure that he has to deal with and he'll have to calculate differently than he would otherwise calculate. >> which brings me to the questions of sanctions that you raise. obviously, germany is reliant upon russia for its gas coming to the pipeline that goes under ukraine. germany has been low to support the military in anyway. today you heard say sanction doesn't work. so is he right that s

have you looked, for example, at the freedom of the media in hungary? really? i see.e loan you took from russia in 2014. so, let me talk a little bit more about your relationship with putin. first of all, you regard putin as a friend, don't you? a man that you have great sympathy for. crosstalk. so, let me be specific. you say countries have interests — i understand that — but let's just look at what the french people could expect in foreign policy terms in terms from marine le pen. you said quite openly "berlin," — i'm quoting you — "berlin is not the right partner for paris in terms "of driving forward a european agenda." you have said that it would be absolutely wrong for the united states and western partners to impose sanctions, more sanctions on russia. you say it would be absolutely wrong for the united states to pressure nato to bring ukraine into nato. you say ukraine has no place inside nato. seems to me, in this current crisis we see in ukraine, you are quite clearly on the side of vladimir putin. you think that vladimir putin is only practising deterrence.

the movie sparked outrage in poland and hungary, that story much more short breaks where this is our national the ah for months the u. s. in the u. k. of warned and russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians submitted abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable. saxon powers, total war, russia pops about secured. ah, welcome back. this is our t international. now, canada's prime minister is feeling the heat after m. p. 's rounded on him for triggering never before used emergency powers to deal with an ongoing protest by truck drivers against the vaccine mandates. canada's opposition leader accused the prime minister of escalating the situation in the country to my the prime minister . this is canada. this is not a dictator. 3 gasoline on embers, things are d escalating as we speak. so why is the prime minister using this hammer on canadians? isn't it true? he's doing it just to save his own political skin. the threshold was met with the emergencies, and now across the country, releases of jurisdiction have the t

the remaining will gary and was back in hungary, south of the us sent an additional $5000.00 soldiers to poland and romania as nato up to the anti western media outlets have been celebrating. the writings reportedly preparing to fight off russian invaders. one of them is the 78 year old grandmother who's been featured while the time's b, b, c, and d, c, brandishing forums. what none of those outlets mentioned that she's being trained by far right militia group called the as a battalion. some communities are taking matters into their own hands just across from russia in the city of maria, pull some ukrainians, are preparing who's ah, and he is another so called ukrainian hero, profiled in the british tabloids. the son website features a video of a slide called vulnerability. disco shooting at people in the east of the country. that apparently dates back for 2017 liz. erica is active on social media, frequent expressing foreign views, including hate messages targeting black people and homosexuals, and praising adul figler. yet in 2019, she was invited to speak at the nato headquarters.

ok, nick, thank you for. that, on the hungary-ukraine border. that, on the hungary—ukraine border. all 18-60 government has decreed that all 18—60 year old men should be prepared to fight. well, in a news conference in moscow today, russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov, again denied moscow wanted to occupy ukraine. he claimed russia's assault was to demilitarise and denazify the country so that ukrainians could freely determine their own future. with more, here's our diplomatic correspondent caroline hawley. they are chanting "no to war," a show of disgust last night in central moscow in a country where many are still in shock at the invasion of ukraine. it takes bravery to protest in president putin's russia. across the country, close to 2,000 people are now reported to have been taken into custody for taking a stand against what the kremlin has done. translation: what happened is a shame. many of us have relatives and friends from ukraine and this is a betrayal towards them. translation: i am expressing my protest against what is happening i because of my country. i'm surpris

i would push back again hungary isn't a one-party state and there's a decent possibility that oregon actually loses the upcoming elections in the next year. eddie conversations i had conversations that said you do realize where this is going and o at any point are we going to express this. we need that balance. the other person here that is in a sense the partisan, you were part of this government. furthermore you worked quite closely through these munich security conferences, and i kind of want before we go to the audience, i want to give you a chance to express something personal. givef a little bit of your relationship with. she arrives at the airport. i was trying to talk with her about gordon brown and so on and she interrupted me and said you should be interested in taking over. i wasn't prepared for that question. so, madame chancellor obviously you want to get rid of me here in london you have a successor in mind? know, of course not. youid can stay here. she thinks from the end her argument responding to me was think about what happens in two and a half years when you reach

the long years of the cold war brought a lot of suffering for hungary. that's why i've had gary and another people of the single to hear a needle. here. we are interested in. i mean desk collating tensions between the west and the east and to do. and i think we can to prevent all the cold war and to decrease because pressure and the tension to ease the tension and to avoid raising the tension. we need to talk when it negotiation, when it dialogue and i welcome out of a lot of dialect between russia and our western allies, straight between the guest when you, which for thought and thought i'd go, i should, like i said before. and as i said to all our allies, i see i keep saying how important it is to stay engaged in this dial like and to use all diplomatic tools to resolve this conflict. to resolve this tension, what can we offer? we can offer an gary model where you are not in politics. there is a hungering model, and we are members of nato and the european union. but nevertheless, we can maintain great relations with russia as well. it is possible and w

he's be meeting the hungary and prime minister victor all been talking about the situation. the problem is all about has said that the e u is united and no one wants to conflict with russia. and he said that's especially true of central europeans. they want to in these tensions between the east, in the west, the russian president for his part, but to be approved and it says the u. s. and his allies have ignored russia's main security demands. so let's go live to carswell and in moscow. also jabari also tell us more about this ongoing meeting at between vladimir putin in hungarian prime minister and what they hope to achieve. hey, well nick, we just heard from the officials that are there at the kremlin out as we speak. this press conference is ongoing. but apparently this meeting between the 2 men took 5 and a half hours. they discussed various issues. and this is the 1st time that we're seeing, the russian president vladimir putin speak a live on camera, about what he's thinking, in terms of what the americans have come back with in terms of their response to the security c
