because lensky has made it very clear what he needs most right now is more weapons . more ammunition, poland announcing that its 1st batch of a fighter jets has now been delivered. is germany expected to follow suit? well, we've heard that, how big ends lensky spoke about upping the delivery of ammunition, which is sorely needed in ukraine and also continuing with the delivery of other heavy, heavy weapons like tanks. a recent batch of leopard tanks was delivered by germany to ukraine last week after ukraine. really push to get these, these tanks delivered and promised by germany and germany finally accepted to do that earlier this year. now, there has been talk over the last few weeks about fighter jets being delivered to ukraine, about having said that this was not a topic of conversation with president lensky and germany's position has been that they do not plan to deliver fighter jets. you can't use to ukraine also because just that ukraine is seeking to get our, the f, 16 us made fighter jets, which germany doesn't even have if we just take this into the big pict

the polish president welcomes all of them, is a lensky to warsaw and promises to send ukraine more. make fighter jets? ah! i'm here until in berlin. walk up to the program. i once president sy in when the has met with us. how speaker kevin mccarthy. the 1st meeting of its kind in the united states for decades, the face to face outside los angel's comes on. what is technically a stop over for the president kevin mccarthy's position is how speaker makes him number 3 and he was political hierarchy. therefore, the most senior american figured to meet the taiwanese leader on us soil since $979.00. the trip comes to spite warnings from china, beijing claim self ruled, ty one as its own, and resents what it sees as us meddling in this domestic affairs. for chad shun, yea, is g w's correspondent, the taiwanese capital, taipei. i asked for earlier how important this meeting is for the island? yes she now and this historic meeting is regarded as new milestone for you asked taiwan relations like usually i tie in one is the 1st ever how on these preston to meet the number 3 in us politics on yo

so lensky calling the one our conversation a long and meaningful call. it was the 1st contact between the 2 ladies since russia invited ukraine, that last year, chinese state media reporting that she world zalinski negotiation is the only way to end the conflict. the chinese foreign ministry also says it will send a delegation to ukraine to seek a political settlement to the crisis. president lensky has appointed an ukrainian ambassador to beijing the 1st in more than 2 years. the white house welcomed the fine covert says it's too early to tell whether it could be a step towards peace. we spoke to d. w. rowman gone to ranko in cave and forbade clara in beijing on why the 2 ladies fuck. well, we do not know exactly much. oh, what was before the score was this story round the remarks by the chinese ambassador to france, who seemed to questions, christian ukraine's full independence and also live independence of former soviet republics. he was criticized for that by eastern con, eastern european countries. ukraine restrained from harsh criticism, and now un

look, for instance, lensky. how do the western place, the corporate media insisting about his big team award is. ready it is commitment for the good against the bad russian and so on and forgetting completely and hold his skull loose. investment is a real estate properties in florida. in london, you can reach where with it by the palm drop it, but you have no mention of pandora papers and zalinski forts and how is using money laundering money and putting is money in florida. you are never that kind of mentioned because it's, it has been put aside. and by the you can, i said the drawing of course, the positive message message about them. forgetting all the bad sides. the darker sides of this kind of what people in the case of jan and ski, it's obvious for people who are knowing his biography. but if you are just a regular he called reading from time to time a newspaper. ready listening to radio, you cannot know anything about his dark past because it says been completely concealed, completely heathen. and it's ea

also on the program absurd and destructive ukraine's president will. autumn is lensky. react with fury. as russia takes charge of the un security council of presidency. it comes as keith makes plans to launch a counter offensive. and in sports, a gold keeping house or helps buy and unix, the title rivals, bruce your door to go back to the top of the boon this weekend. with 8 games left. this is ah a warm welcome to viewers around the world. i'm michael ok. cope francis is leading the palm sunday mass in the vatican saint peter's square. just a day after being released from hospital, the 86 year old spent 4 days receiving treatment for bout of bronchitis, but his said to be feeling better. a crowd of 30000 faithful have crowded into the square for the pontiff address. today's ceremony marks the beginning of celebrations for the most important week in the christian calendar. joining me now here in the studio is d. w. religious affairs correspondent martin, gac to talk with me about the palm sunday mass in the vatican. martin, welcome to the program. this was a well time departure. i mean

that's not accepted to come see girls lensky as the unique superstar. and the unique global. i don't know if the good, you know, plan that. why? because in the south, they're not sensitive to the scandal book. we see both of these kind of double stand up. why? because they're accustomed, they used to get the bombs on the heads. where now drug dot go with this plan that got bombs dropped in year. man, there were broken afghanistan in iraq then, sir, yeah, libya, you know, and these people, the people of africa, of muslim country, they cannot show up, is kind of publication. because that know they had experience how the west is using to scan of media publication to justify it until then, chance is bumping. it's killings in the global south mainly which is delayed the victim of this kind of by the population. so i think the thanks to god, thanks to 2 or wellness good populations of the global. so more conscious of propaganda tend to we are us, we in the rest of the world than we are aware of game, aton is gonna stay with us coming up next. the human need to worship, are these po

and some solely off to his phone call with the chinese leaders, other miss lensky. we have found his intention to return ukraine to it's 1991 era borders. do you think such a hard line stance from kia? these actually helping to reach a solution to the conflicts? or course no. this is simply another event to spring things along and procrastinate in order to get ever more western weapons. it comes out to be an american native initiative. they told you what to do, just out with the men's agreement, which listened to you in order to procrastinate and justice with the turkish peace plan. we can order that out over the last minute. so if this is this, this is a plan to give more time to continue the war and add more fuel to the fire. and i think that's one reason why the chinese said, we don't want to put more fuel on the fire because it big the west. so i think it's tend to procrastinate. my don't get your building initiative. i see native behind is completely back my neutral form. my initial common sense, a baking has stressed isn't the line. the diplomacy is the only p

but what also is important in the case of, of the lensky. is that your so? yes, a special look, you know, and you made a campaign. and yet you made a campaign electoral campaign. 192019 saying, oh, i am new on the scene. i am not corrupted as on our past president, and i will bring you the piece so the made promises to quinn and our citizens saying i will bring peace. i will set the conflict under crises redraw, shut the door, so made promises with which he betrayed as soon as he was elected. but before the election use this, let's say she's new with a past or non politician as an advantage to be elect elected. and after you betrayed but it after the election, that's why you was in my you successful and sure. i know how to talk argument. we can see you had the support of the main early docs of good country. so he had plenty of money to support team during his electoral campaign, which is very important in politics without money. now in the democracy, we can, you cannot be elected. now the one is just one example of someone who seems kind of plucked from that

but he hasn't had time to speak with the lensky fund. elaine said that she expressed the willingness to speak with the lead sky when the time and conditions were right. so that was not a certainly not a guarantee that he will do. so can, can i just pick up something you said that did they really expect china? you said they went, they're expecting china to condemn russia's actions on what basis was that hope based? well look, i think it certainly the expectations a year into the war, more than a year to the war that china is suddenly going to shift its position and publicly condemn russia in a, in an aggressive way. are, are fanciful. i mean there's no, i don't think even michael expected, a strong condemnation rush. i think they were hoping just as she did back in november when german chancellor old shots visited when he voiced his position to a nuclear escalation in ukraine. getting some language like that. not, not right on the nation of russia, but something indicating that she opposed russia's plans to europe. have any leverage at all on china to, to make that hope. anything like

and it is indeed very important that a president lensky and the chinese new the have spoken. finally, i'm that we will see what we've got will come out of it. it is very important that china will said an envoy to ukraine. this is something that ukraine has been asking in calling for 4 months now. finally, and the u. s. has warned china clearly against providing lethal aid to russia. is this phone call a sign that china won't now send weapons to russia. was seizing ping, china's head of state already made their promise relatively straightforward. when french president manama caught and are also a funder line, the president of the u commission visited beijing recently that was already quite credible. and i think to understand this call from the chinese perspective, it is a clear am signed towards the european union and to give them a diplomatic concession em seating ping has promised to am called with zalinski when the time is right actually several times. and notably, he did not give their promise towards the americans, it was according to the europeans. and this call has produced in m

by north korea would spell the end of the regime in pyongyang, ukrainian president invalid rumors, lensky and his chinese counterpart. she's been paying have spoken by phone, their 1st direct contact since russia invaded ukraine last year. soleski called the one our conversation a long and meaningful call. chinese, the media are reporting that she told the lensky that negotiation is the only way to end the conflict. spain is experiencing record heat this april, which the meter, a logical agency attributes to climate change. and the unusually high temperatures are exacerbating a long running drought that poses risks to both people and wild life. these tourists from england are getting a sneak peak of the spanish summer. we love it. absolutely. it's been so cold and where i am even the day you went to the ample. it was right. 80 degrees for him with rain and when day. and then we landed in our me it's you beautiful sun so lovely. but many locals are less thrilled. it's already unbearable. it's only april if this is happening in april. what's it going to be like in june? it wouldn't be spain

and if it did, where and by whom it was done, ukraine's president followed him years lensky spoke of systematic terror, or by russian forces and demanded consequences. building him every one must react to it. every leader. don't expect it to be forgotten. we are not going to forget anything. neither are we going to forgive the murderous ukraine's s p u. security service said on wednesday, it had opened a probe into the video la rochelle, parliament assigned often an overhaul of the conscription law. legislation makes it harder to dodge a military coil up and allows draft orders to be delivered by email. ukraine is expected to launch a spring condo offensive, and the speculation moscow was planning a 2nd wave of mobilization. it happened very quickly. both chambers of russia's parliament fast track changes to the conscription law that has already been on the table for 5 years. now any one who does not report to the military after receiving a draft notice will no longer be allowed to leave. russia is doable here, as apologies. love those who repeatedly do not report for duty can have t

and as president lensky awarded the highest state honor in the company of his wife all in a. so, you know, certainly one aspect of this is that this is a broadening, a deepening of a very close alliance. they weren't always close allies. of course, at between these 2 neighbors, potent has been hugely instrumental in coalescing european support behind ukraine taking in all those refugees to ukraine. once all of that, to continue, there is another aspect to it which is taking the opportunity perhaps to just pay for over a couple of very small cracks beginning to show in the lines before they become anymore divisive. notably, the flow of cheap ukrainian grain into the european union into poland in particular . terrorist, great and bringing the price of grain down and upsetting domestic producers. domestic farmers in a number of countries in the pony pharmacist threatened to try and disrupt this visit. they hadn't done so yet, but during the course of the morning, the polish agriculture minister resigned in protest at the european commission's decision to continue to allow poli,

one year ago, meanwhile, ukrainian president followed them is lensky says he believes his country has made good progress on the past towards national membership. it comes after lithuania promised, inviting ukraine to the block at and at the alliance's summers in july. speaking in his nightly address, lensky also thanked poland for feeling the commitments it made to deliver tanks to the country. meantime, you can intelligence reports, say russia has largely failed in its attempt to destroy ukraine's unified energy system. we can speak now to franklin, which, who served as an officer in the british royal navy reserve. today is a military analyst, frank. it's great to have you back on, there's a bit to talk about in terms of lent the lent skis, speech. let's start with these tanks now. as we know, western tanks have been on the ground in ukraine for a few weeks now. do we know if they're making any kind of a difference yet? good morning, john is the issue with taxes to for 1st of all, present zalinski was refer me to the polish donation of refurbished russian times, which actually quite

mister lensky has denounced brutality and demanded that russian forces be held accountable for dish has sparked international outrage. some viewers may find the images and sounds in the following report to be disturbing. brutal and gruesome footage has appeared on social media. the video allegedly shows what appears to be a russian soldier. cutting off the head of a captured ukrainian prisoner of war. screams can be heard as a voice in the background says, do it. the video which appears to have been recorded last year is now the focus of international attention. have more information or information on the veracity of the video. having said that, if confirmed this is yet another brutal reminder about the inhumane nature of the russian aggression killing of prisoners of war is a very serious breach of the geneva convention and demonstrates once more russia's complete disregard of international law and particular international humanitarian law. moscow has also responded to the video kremlin spokespersons me. 3 pis scoff, said the images needed verification show in. first of all, we need to

the lensky today even talked about poland, forming a coalition to supply more warplanes. so how much pressure does that put on keys other allies? the step obeyed? i think it definitely puts a lot of pressure and it's a strategy that has worked in the past, especially with regard to the main battle tanks brought up the the leopard tanks earlier. so i think this issue is, is maybe a little bit different because u. s. and our other allies have indicated that they're not really considering wider just at this time, but i think it's, it's a very important signal on, on behalf of poland to keep the momentum going. yet they are taking the lead. they used to say, you know, will, will be the 1st, but we don't want to be the only ones. are we now seeing them take a different approach? seeing that, you know, neither the you esther me, france or the u. k. have made any moves when it comes to fighter jets. yeah, i mean i think they're just committing what they have. as i said before, i think they really see this as an existential struggle and realize that ukraine needs all the help tha

here she has presented at 12 point piece plan without ever having spoken to ukrainian president lensky since the war broke out. so how can you expect is efforts and his interest in peace to be taken seriously? it's wonderful question. it's when i would post to the chinese directly, i am from my perspective. i think that the interest remains in peace and stability in the world. china has played a larger mediation role than expected and other areas of the world, including recently in bringing together and to be new, saudi arabian, or ron, to come to an agreement to restart diplomatic relations with each other. so china clearly has the capability to via convenor, that might be the best position for it on the ukraine crisis. but it would involve president, she taking that big stack of talking to president zalinski so that he is seen as a neutral convenor. should that negotiation on behalf johnson in china's interest in portraying itself as a force for peace you spoke about around in saudi arabia. they're big enough to take a step towards ukraine. and the west starting may be by acknowledgi

is the lensky soap buck also a disrespect to ukrainian soldiers killed in the 14 months long hold? let's go to w as in manuel shaws in the key of a surprise visit that. is it a more than symbolic? hello? well yes, it is more than symbolic and it was much anticipated if anatomy zalinski had invited again, stilton barber at natives or general secretary here in here for over a year now. and a fact that stoughton berg was here this morning. the fact that he paid his respect to a full and sold is the fact that he spends a some time to talk to as the lensky about ukraine's or candidacy to nato. this is heidi is significant here in ukraine. you know, especially given the fact that ukraine a possibly a joining nato was one of the arguments used by letting me put in to launch it's a full scale invasion against ukraine and perhaps more significant the even is, was chilton beg, fed her to day when he said that ukraine's rightful place, ease in the euro, atlantic family, ukraine's right rightful place is in, at nato, and other positions of nato remain unchanged when it comes to her to the supp

that is as president balloon mirrors, the lensky keeps pressing for full a needle membership. lensky raised the issue during a visit to keith by nato secretary general young, stolen berk, a long line of western leaders have made the trip to keith. and to this square, where you crane proudly displays destroyed russian tanks. on thursday, it was the turn of nato chief against oldenburg his 1st visit to ukraine. since the russian invasion, president lensky highlighted the symbolism of stoughton bikes arrival. only one group to see you. soon, bruce, when we see this as a sign, consider it as fine a sign that nature is ready to open. a new chapter. ukraine is pushing to join the alliance. here in the capital's europe square, the nato emblem towers above all else. but members have been wary about letting ukraine in, in 2008 at a summit in bucharest, ukraine's membership was shout does a question for the future. at the insistence of van german chancellor, anglo merkel, with russia's invasion ukraine, joining nato seemed more unlikely than ever. last september, ukraine submitted a new applic

as president lensky stresses what he needs most is weapons. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. fully u. s. president donald trump is preparing to surrender to prosecutors in new york later today as he faces an unprecedented court appearance. trump is the 1st sitting our former u. s. president to face criminal prosecution. tuesday will see his arraignment on charges linked to alleged hush money payments to adult film actor stormy daniels just before the 2016 presidential election. the former reality tv star turned president is the biggest story in town. again, arriving at trump tower, donald trump, heated quickly inside for more talks with his legal team. his support is rallied loudly nearby, while others demanded justice. guiding him on a hooker's came in 10 years ago or 7 years ago is a misdemeanor. and it should not be a felony case by alvin gregg, i don't think they have anything to walk them up for. i think this is just a political persecution of somebody that they don't work. and on top of that other kids election interference. countries very divide

with russia, the polish president welcomes apology most lensky to warsaw and promises to send ukraine more. make wider gems. ah hello, i'm terry martin. it's good to have you with us. french president mental mc caught says he believes china has a major role to play in finding a peaceful resolution in ukraine. a con, made the comments during a 3 day visit to try elsewhere. the war in ukraine is topping. the agenda he said to meet with president. she's been paying for talks on maintaining trade and diplomatic ties. will be joined by ear commission, president ursula fonda ally, and later today to are expected to try and discourage she from supporting russia. and its invasion of ukraine was crossover to correspondent bobby and crisper in beijing, fabio at the start with the french president, manuel mc con has travelled to china with a huge business delegation. is this trip mainly about diplomacy or trade? well, i think the biggest topic could probably would be a political one lamely the one ukraine or macro m is convinced that he con, yeah. persuade a seating thing to play a big role in t

a lot of miss lensky has condemned the attacks as a night of tara. and that's it. from me and the new scene brent golf, we'll have a well news update for you at the top of the hour. coming up after the break, all documentary, i've got office in berlin for me and the team. i thought would there be a 3rd in the red? it's 10 times more holocaust survivors in postwar, germany for them life after 945 through today has been starting a new and processing the past. the ongoing struggle.

while you cranes, a president voting there's a lensky, also condemned russia as a presidency, as absurd in his daily address. he said, it shows the council is a bankrupt institution name. why? there is no form of charity. russia has not committed and there's no reason to stop the reform of global institutions. in particular, the un security council reform is clearly overdue, so that the terrorist states, or any other state that wants to be a terrorist state, cannot disrupt peace. terrorists must lose, must be held accountable for terror and not to prevail anyway. and mike martin is a former british army officer now with kings college london. he told me earlier what the russian presidency of the security council is likely to mean for ukraine. i think the best way of looking at this is it over the last year they have been to, to was a one is war of rhetoric and the other is a war that's actually being force on the ground over territory. and as we've seen the last year, that has been a lot of rhetoric, there's been lots of talk with nuclear weapons. there's been lots of talk of all sorts o

here she has presented at 12 point piece plan without ever having spoken to ukrainian president lensky since the war broke out. so how can you expect is efforts and his interest in peace to be taken seriously? it's wonderful question. it's when i would post to the chinese directly, i am from my perspective. i think that the interest remains in peace and stability in the world. china has played a larger mediation role than expected and other areas of the world, including recently in bringing together and to be new, saudi arabian, or ron, to come to an agreement to restart diplomatic relations with each other. so china clearly has the capability to be a can the nurse that might be the best position for it on the ukraine crisis. but it would involve president, she taking that big stack of talking to president zalinski so that he is seen as a neutral convenor. should that negotiation come to pass on to him? yeah. in china's interest in portraying itself as a force for peace. you spoke about iran in saudi arabia, they're big enough to take a step towards ukraine and the west starting may be

that's the lensky was going to bring us on the verge of world war 3. that seems pretty fair. while julian is gone, watson, prison, all of you got, you know that check's you because he's in jail for doing your job. and you know what? tucker carlson, a know seymour hersh, but he did something you guys are scared to do to speak the truth and actually be critical of the war. say something about the bombing, we blew up north korean pipeline. listen, don't stand there. well, there are people riding in prison. nobody said anything about who wrote right, a big credit, but that's why we spoke with jose vega himself who said that the u. s. media is trying to suppress versus report on the north stream. last, this event was all the executive editor of the washington post new york times l. a time in some big up person in reuters and the moderator with somebody from emerson, dc. and so i figured what better opportunity than to have press media, right? the ones that say they know everything and they implicitly say you cannot disagree with otherwise, you know, they have this kind of sub list

this time reporting that the c, i was well aware that ukrainian president log ms lensky and his entourage embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars in usaid. thank you so much. i cipher coming back on. i mean, after revealing that terror attack, tell me about this $400000000.00 of us public money. and, and i think most american media covers the fact that the american public certainly need $400000000.00 for infrastructure. tell me about the latest scandal trading with the enemy. ah, well, you have to know that the budget right now the actual money. i think the, the on my government is spent on that war. is it? about 5 months ago was about $113000000000.00, and it's now up to $120.00. so the $400000000.00 figure when you compare it to the great gross amount of money we spent, there is almost trivial. but one of the things that really bought the piece i learned that just 2 months ago.

let me as lensky as you cream, once, poland, to become a main partner in reconstruction efforts when the war with russia ends. these 4 children have been killed in an attack at a school who, se brazil, a man with an axe, broke into the campus and the sate of santa katerina. he was arrested by police. former italian primers are silvio berlusconi has been admitted to intensive care after suffering and infection that caused him difficulty to breathe. berlusconi who served as italy's leader for 4 terms has been in and out of hospital in recent years, including been treated, recovered 19, and 2020. italy's foreign minister, who's a close friend of the 86 year old, says the infections not yet been treated, but he is able to speak. donald trump is calling on republicans in congress to cut funding for the justice department and the f. b, i until they quote, come to their senses. the day after he appeared in court on criminal charges, the former u. s. president denies 34 council falsifying business records in relation to hush money paid before the 2016 election. trump claims he's the victim o

and he just had a phone call, was the lensky a weeks later. so our, and we remember the chinese and had a few weeks ago, china made public several proposals. kind of a kind of a plan and more than 10 points in it. a saying how this war in ukraine could be stopped. but are they major each year for ukraine? the issue of the occupied territories was not in those proposal proposals by beijing. so 4 key if the big question is how is pay their beijing m seeing this, this issue? how is it going to be resolved? because the ukraine is not ready to, to agree to negotiations or to a peace settlement and that without lu earth or settling the question of the occupied territories, there is no, no agreement on that here in key. if 5 in a china recently successfully broke it a deal between saudi arabia and iran. does this grand b jane extra credibility in this role? well, that's the message sent. and that baiting wants to convey and that this was really a diplomatic victory, but am in europe, there's a really different view in europe. people say that you can

i think the china could take the next step of talking to president lensky, and entering is more of an active convener and mediator. however, i think the china assess, is that neither nor actually lensky are ready to sit there now and come to a compromise negotiation. so i think trying to taking a bit of a wait and see approach, the conflict is still playing out on the ground with absolutely horrific consequences, which i think china is well aware of and doesn't want to drive on forever. but it's the same time, i don't think it's planning to take such an active role in mediating or convening the parties to the conflict at a time when it seems that they are not willing to compromise. murray daniels, the managing director of the age of science policy institute. thank you so much for all those very interesting insights. thank ah, for that and am i am i call france has made no secret of his desire for europe and france to take on a greater role on the international stage. his visit to china can be seen as another example of his ambition to cement his position. as a global statesman, but at

well, a president lensky is, as you say, there at the polish invitation, the invitation of the parish presidencies accompanied by his wife, alina. that's somewhat unusual. they don't always undertake these strips together. and so there is a sense that the couples are out there projecting an air of some confidence in this meeting with, of course, one of ukraine's closest allies certainly is geographically closest ally. poland has been hugely instrumental in coalescing the international effort on behalf of ukraine has done a lot itself as well, including taking in more than a 1000000 ukrainian refugees. but there is some other aspect to this, although neither side is saying as much the opportunity to try and paper over what are still small, but cracks nonetheless, appearing in that alliance before they're not allowed to get any big notably to do with ukrainian grain imports into the european union cheap, ukrainian grain coming in tax terrace, free. that is of course, affecting the price of grain and upsetting domestic farming communities in a number of countries. polish farms threatened
