and that came across very strongly in lloyd austin's press conference idea. but it was a to tread carefully and i think that you created with allies have done quite well here. they slowly increase the support provided to you grain quite gradually so that it doesn't appear as escalator is perhaps actually is when you look when you take a step back and look at the increase in the technical capabilities of what is now being provided to ukraine and i think of course as well the u. s. m. a ticket has worked closely with china and india to, to pressure between dissuade him from, from considering the nuclear option. you know, part of me even wanted is if maybe when the war is over and i can, we can access the archives and probably when i'm very old. so if germany fairly robust support, in fact, which is combined reverse sort of rhetoric of, of not want foot dragging or not. that doesn't turn out to be a deliberate strategy or part of a sort of piece to avoid escalation while still supporting ukraine. dr. jade mclinn . thank you so much for all of your insights. you'

well, when following the results of this meeting, lloyd austin and american general mark milley also went to the press, traditionally they reported what they had agreed upon, the very first question from journalists that they heard was about the supply of tanks to ukraine, the head of the pentagon actually said that you should have heard the minister defense of germany, who previously said that the decision on the provision of leopard tanks had not been made. well, he also said that he could not add anything about the supply of abrams tanks. they also asked how reliable it could be . germany's partner based on the fact that today's meeting ended with rammstein and told luit autumn that in his opinion germany is doing enough to demonstrate real leadership. well, but when he was clarified, e agreed that we can all do more, this is a quote from austin, he also said that all allies are focused on helping ukraine to be more successful on the battlefield, he said that there is a window of opportunity between now and spring and clarified that this is not the case and it takes a lot of time

no one understood this better than william lloyd garrison. no, presidential election has ever occurred at all comparable in magnitude solemnity and far-reaching consequences garrison wrote as the returns of the 1864 vote came in with lincoln's victory secured garrison declared the doom of republic rebellion, and slavery is now irrevocably pronounced. so fundamental and astounding yes. and yet could not have happened without the anti-slavery project without the peacetime project of federal pressure on southern states to abolish slavery in concert with the wartime project of military emancipation and the enlistment of black troops all of it justified by a constitution that lincoln believed made freedom the rule and slavery the exception. take that away and there is no 13th amendment and so we are left to ponder one of the great paradoxes of american legal history. it took an anti-slavery constitution. to get us an anti-slavery constitution thank you. we have a couple of minutes for questions. so please use the microphone's on either side of the

what was the story of his meeting with the us defense secretary, lloyd austin, likely top of the agenda. german battle tanks for ukraine. also coming up, i'm leaving. because with such a privilege, roll comes responsibility. 3rd sponsibility to know when you are the right person to lead and also when you are not in a shock announcement, new zealand prime minister jacinta and says she's stepping down almost a year for her to end. ah, it's been 40 years since floating balloons became a symbol for the madness of cold war nuclear break and shit and launch one of the biggest hit from the german language. we looked back at the phenomenon that was not a non safe look below. ah i'm and you can make an, an. busy come to the program. japanese the minister, bullish pistol. this has been in office for just a few hours, but he's already holding talks with his us counterparts, lloyd austin, and brief statement, the full that discussions austin and peculiar stress. the importance of the close alliance of that country. let me think of nato consultations on friday in germany about further military aid t

lloyd austin, this meeting is open.veryone, i am really glad to see you all at the next meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine. today, we are starting the new year with new resolutions regarding assistance to the defense of ukraine we only seek to strengthen our unity . today we are glad that the president of ukraine joined us online, and volodymyr zelenskyi, who in a few minutes will have the opportunity to address us today, the minister of defense of ukraine, mr. reznikov, visited us personally, and we also see lieutenant general moychuk with us . i think you deserved this round of applause, i know that everyone present here was deeply saddened by the tragedy that happened on the outskirts of kyiv, namely the fall of the helicopter on board of which was the head of the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine and others the representatives of his apparatus therefore want to express our condolences to all the families of the victims. yes, we meet in extremely difficult times, but if you look at those sit

all eyes are on this meeting here at ramstein. lloyd austin, the u. s. defense secretary said himself keeps watching us. the kremlin is watching us, but history is also watching us. and of course, in the days leading up to this meeting, there was a lot of tension in the air. there was a lot of criticism of germany's reluctance, or, of course, the issue of battle tanks is one that is the big elephant in the room. will germany give its green light so that other countries can re export? the german made a battle tanks to ukraine, as they've suggested they want to do like poland for example. and but then of course, of a lot of movement happening behind the scenes. and because it is such a crucial meeting, everybody is well aware of that. and the feeling here is, of course, that they do have to deliver some tangible results, something that can really make a difference on the battlefield. what i thought was interesting, also in the address by the ukranian president zalinski was the didn't just ask for battle times. he also asked for us systems like fighter j

the host of the gathering us defense secretary lloyd austin, stressed that germany is a steadfast partner. they are reliable i, they've been that way for, for a very, very long time. and i, i truly believe that they'll continue to be a reliable ally going forward. and not to mention a journey is host to 39000 of my troops and their families, and also 10000 civilians here. and so we've had a great relationship, but throughout all the years and i will continue to have a great relationship and germany will continue to exercise leadership going for let's bring in our correspondent terry shawls, who is in brussels. so terry, we heard quite a lot of announcements of additional military aid from ukraine made by western leaders at the meeting in ramstein. what consequences will these decisions for additional aid for ukraine have on the nato alliance? well, nato, of course, is, is not itself participating in the conflict, but nevertheless, nato cheap instills. hamburg has constantly appealed to allies to send more equipment to ukraine, better equipment to ukraine. and so he'll be pleased to see th

but not william lloyd garrison. none of the recent victories of the so-called slave power. fugitive slave act with the kansas/nebraska act, rendition of anthony burns and none of these were violations of the constitution garrison insisted. if anything, they were caused by the constitution. the source and participate of all the other atrocities garrison declare that had day was the constitution itself which he then denounced as a line of death and an agreement of hell. striking another match, garrison set into flames as well. with that at least part of the crowd turned against garrison welled up from antislavery audience. nowadays scholars and journalists tend to agree with garrison's denunciation of the constitution as a pro slavery document and it's not hard to see why. the constitution contains several clauses that protect slavery and the elite clause and gave holders a constitutional right to enter into the free state and capture their escaped slaves and there was the notorious three fifths clause that worked with the house of representatives and the biggest problem was

and his us counterpart lloyd austin dw is chief political correspondent. nina has a followed that press for us and she joins us now. nina, we saw the german defense minister making his 1st official appearance after being sworn in just a couple of hours ago this morning. can you give us a sense of what he said? well, the to the us defense secretary on the new german defense minister borders. the story is arrived here a bit earlier than planned and a lawyer, austin, the u. s. defense secretary actually joked that he was well aware that borders distorted his counterpart had only been in office for an hour, and that that is quite rare. but an overall lay in their brief statements ahead of that detail meeting. just said that germany and the you se themselves each other as very, very close partners and that they support each other when it comes to this strategy regarding support for ukraine. now they will be preparing tomorrow's meeting of international defense ministers. i've become stein military base here in germany. they say it's not to serve ukraine that's on the gender. it's also other

day hours after being sworn in bodies . pistole was in a face to face meeting with us counterpart, lloyd austin, of both pledge, continuing support for ukraine, but neither commented on the issue. the key of most wants to hear about when the country supply you cry with heavy battle tags, or in germany's case, just get out of the way of those countries who want to. i'm fil gail in berlin and this is the day ah, the most important thing is to continue to support ukraine, including with material from our own armed forces. fairly decisions you are making them good. once you have to speed them up many crunches, we'd like to get this time. but we are waiting for the consent of a country that owns for license. teach is she so you need see if there is not a single reasonable argument. why germany shouldn't do it. the best thing possible for the world is to get this thing done and get it done fast. now we have wasted property, can love with us debates numbers to live also on the day recognition for a prosecuted to people, iraq's u z. these were slaughtered by the so called islamic state. now germ

s. defense secretary lloyd austin said here this morning at the opening remarks. this is something where history is watching us. you said keith is watching us in the kremlin is to while the former russian president, i mean treatment video issued very dark threats a. he was warning that as he put it and nuclear power, losing in a conventional war can provoke the outbreak of a nuclear war. and nina, how much concern is there among the western leaders that russia might actually go ahead and use nuclear weapons? well, of course, nuclear weapons are politically speaking, something that you have so that you don't have to use them that are worked during the cold war as the countries bought nuclear weapons so that other countries wouldn't attack them. and nobody was planning to use them properly. but of course, these threats have come out of the kremlin for a long time now for a, for a couple of months now. and it is something that is being heard in the west, of course. now when it comes to that mid video statement, many people that listen to that and said, what was inter

and if you're just joining us, we've been listening to a press conference by us defense secretary lloyd austin, and the u. s. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, mark, milly, they were speaking at a meeting of nato and defense leaders at the us air base in ramstein. let's go back to d. w. the chief political correspondent, nina houser, who is an ramstein and has been following the remarks made by the 2 of them. neither the us defense secretary, he began by outlining all the new military aid that's being pledged by ukraine's allies. and again, he stressed that it's not just about ensuring ukraine security, but it's also about the security of europe and even the world about the future of the world. what else stood out for you in the remarks by the defense secretary? what i thought was interesting was how the u. s. defense secretary austin said that today was actually a very clear message that the west is united that are, they are resolved, remain committed to supporting ukraine for as long as it takes. they warned that list war, my dragon, and that day to day was a symbol also of unity

lloyd austin will be speaking in english when it crosses to him.defense minister addressing the group there.
