you good to see you terry now can you tell us about the reception that mr selenski received. yes i mean many people may be asking if you elect a comedian is he going to be taken seriously on his foreign trips abroad but selenski has been quite wise in his planning he has acted like a serious president and it was very smart to make his 1st foreign trip to brussels where his citizens want to be members of both the european union and nato and that was something he reiterated today in his meetings with both european commission president john klobuchar and the nato secretary general stoltenberg president selenski made clear his country's future is here in the west and that was very well received by the chiefs of both of these institutions now his main priority is to end the war of course in eastern ukraine can the e.u. and nato play a role is there an appetite there for them to step up their involvement in that conflict. well both the e.u. and nato already play a role there's no getting getting out of this both france and germany are signatories to the minsk accords which are desi

launched on hand to see it for himself ukraine's new commander in chief president full of demons selenski it's a picture repeated along the 400 kilometer front line where positions have remained frozen for years to stop the political process in which both sides insist the other take the 1st step all the while the killing continues. in the russian night british putting an end to the fighting in donbass is our main priority like. i said not or should not i'm willing to do almost anything to stop our heroes dying but the caveat soon followed with more than 10000 dead and millions displaced in this conflict many people in ukraine are in no hurry to forgive and forget president selenski freedom of action to strike a deal is far from a given. but at this checkpoint between government and separatist held territory hopes are already running high that an end to the conflict could now be in sight that's why i think we have an 80 percent chance of peace because selenski is really serious about it and only direct talks with putin are going to resolve this which. there is some hope of peace there was

control for now selenski is keeping his cards exceedingly close to his chest. and before i let you go and remind you of the top story that we're tracking for you this hour the u.s. president has told british prime minister to make. that britain stands rather a quote. trade deal with the u.s. one. of the prime minister deserve more credit for homework negotiating a bridge the deal. you're watching from berlin coming up. with a special edition on the women's world cup in france you know we get you can get all the latest news and information around the clock by heading to our web site that's e.w. dot com one little rock on behalf of the antarctic thank you. kickoff . ranks number one and defending world champions machine usa. what makes the joyous women's national soccer team so good now dead become so popular back home. a favorite for the 2019 women's world cup. double. odds time to take one step above. time you're up just such they are not. and find for the truth. time to over come down trees and connection. it's time for. the dove it is coming up ahead. minds.

conflict could now be in sight that's why i think we have an 80 percent chance of peace because selenski is really serious about it and only direct talks with putin are going to resolve this with there's some hope of peace there was not with poroshenko fighting want to achieve anything wrong at the ship some sort of i think he'll manage to end the war he talks in a totally different way of course we want to be together again we want these board accused to be over. in his inauguration speech is alinsky made much of wanting to win the hearts and minds of people living in separatist held territory speaking to them rather than speaking about them but as his 1st weeks in office draw to a close selenski still owes ukrainians a no answer what diplomatic steps to see intend to take and what concessions is he willing to make to return don't you it's going to haunt sgt ukrainian control for now selenski is keeping his cards exceedingly close to his chest i want to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world sudan's opposition has rejected a plan by the country

selenski ukraine to a greater extent with more lethal weapons than under pressure because the united states at the end of the day doesn't want a conflict between a military conflict between ukraine and russia they don't want that and they want the situation solved as quickly as possible donald trump would like basically to waters hands of ukraine because to him is a secondary issue and therefore the policy will be please could you come to some agreement with russia if that's possible when we don't have a whole lot of time left but i did want to ask you if walker clearly preferred parsing himself why is he saying this sort of claims at the. well you can make statements like that the year when the e.u. policy has always been busy the ukraine becomes pro western and if you develop a relationship with the e.u. it is developing a relationship with the e.u. and so on and i think the crisis at present because they there's one big question and that's brics that therefore everything else is secondary so therefore very often it's policy is not really very direct and very clear. it will be ther

people will have come across each other by the time they get to office but with a newcomer like selenski someone who wasn't on the political scene just a couple of months ago this really is the 1st time that they will ever admit there was a lot of head scratching after he won that landslide victory back in april people really not clear the establishment politicians not knowing how to deal selenski what kind of leader he would turn out to be so that's 1st and foremost broadly there's a lot of agreement on a whole range of issues between germany and ukraine but there are the as you mentioned the issue of sanctions against russia some fear here in ukraine that there are a growing voice in germany for ending the sanctions on russia while chancellor merkel herself has said that she will fight to keep them in place there have been growing voices across the political spectrum to end those then there's gas the pipeline that russia is building to germany which goes past ukraine which ukraine says undermines its energy security so there were some contentious issues there but i think more than all

to ukrainian control for now selenski is keeping his cards exceedingly close to his chest. that report by nick connelly of japan is a country of many contradictions stick sex for example the subject appears to be out in the open with pornography comic book sold at nearly every convenience store but japan is also extremely conservative with parents tiptoeing around the subject of sex a survey released last year suggests sex education at school is minimal leaving many students confused and in the dark about the most basic facts. it's no ordinary school day here at tokyo's conan middle school. sex education is on today's lesson plan in what is probably the industrialized world least in lightened country when it comes to human sexuality classes separated boys here girls there are. not all of them will get advice from their parents you know hannah and i can talk about it at home and i don't have any older siblings either. in class we don't go into much detail with some of the topics but this plenty of information online much of it is h.d. strict but it's easy to get around so we

was initially cautious about selenski as a presidential. and it fearing he might end reforms but has since welcomed his election during his campaign the only european leader who met him was the french president emanuel micron in one of the us state department special representative for ukraine could volcker has accused europe of preferring zelinsky rival the defeated president petro poroshenko. and so i think there is a little bit of frustration in europe did drive to the show you know engagement with the u.s. did not do that very pleased with this in fact president poroshenko was complaining to us that we weren't doing enough to support. our response was consistently we don't pick people and selenski won a landslide victory with 70 percent of the the u.s. embassy was 1st congratulated also thanked poroshenko for his efforts to further democracy in ukraine the u.s. claims it was new to him regarding who would win join the election campaign the ambassador was asked if selenski was the right person for ukrainians to unite around and his reply

man and also a lot of our putin even said he remembers how of all of them are selenski took part in some of the comedy shows that were very popular in russia however mr putin said that what's happening in ukraine right now is not funny at all according to the russian leader in order to solve the conflict in east ukraine there needs to be political will on both sides and what the russian president is also stressing that the fact that the cranium leadership right now is refusing to refusing sorry to hold direct talks with the breakaway republics in east ukraine is unacceptable because according to mr putin the only way to get to peace in that region is to start these negotiations these kind of direct contacts earlier mr putin even received a phone call from kiev you were saying that these questions are mostly from russian citizens is that right but he's also getting messages and phone calls from abroad and the question from kiev was about the ukrainians that are in custody in russia in fact they were arrested after the current straight incident a last year. mr putin says that these th

while receiving selenski she was briefly seen trembling in the hot midday sun. america was asked after the incident if she was ok and if people should be concerned. as a help inspiration and since then i've trunk at least 3 glasses of water which i apparently needed and now i'm doing very well it would. be a chance they're focused on reassurances both about her wellbeing and about her intent to maintain the sanctions aimed at forcing moscow's hand. and we can talk now to our correspondents are covering this a bilateral meeting in berlin that we have our political correspondent and many russia as and in kiev w.'s nick calmly want to start with emma here in berlin we saw others the troubling pictures of chancellor merican visibly shaking she said it was due to dehydration. exactly she down played the health incidence later on at a press conference after meeting. the lenski but indeed the images of her shaking were quite impressive to watch so like i say she done played incident saying it was due to dehydration but the german news agency d.p.a. reported that this i

control for now selenski is keeping his cards exceedingly close to his chest. here's a recap the top story that we're following feel today mom 30 years of the chinese government counted on a bloody crackdown on student protesters intent on one square security has been stepped up around the square in central beijing where the massacre took place. and u.s. president dollar trump has offered britain the possibility of what he called a very substantial trade deal once britain has left the european need a union meanwhile but just as against from says it had been gathering in london. that's it for me i'm to touch him on the news team and have more news for you at the top of the l. a look forward to seeing you then. fire up the lifeline mechanics as if. they're really spinoffs that protects us from. along the canadian amazon. the river still runs its nature. claims. the car is going to maine has big plans to develop the region. to the former environmentalist indigenous peoples. who saw the names on the list. will go to the new duramax new 2 channel. mode a goldmine of

seems to be very much the supporter and supported by both the europeans and the americans to me selenski was not really their preferred candidate but they're making the best of the situation because let's face it is alinsky is one and that's that's why it's so they've got to work with what the goals. and what do you think volcker has taken such a stance what game is he trying to play with ukraine and its partners. well i mean the problems for any government in the ukraine a pretty a pretty serious economic problems remain very bad i mean really the phrase reform that you just used there in your reports and it's very halts what the vote actually means what they mean by you know this is a language that was used 20 years ago during the during the you know the collapse of the former soviet union and the whole issue of reform just became a kind of. a code word for privatization deregulation and you know basically theft on a grand scale so when these people use the word reform. or raise my eyebrows because of course there's the risk that there is no real reform in saudi crane in terms of that

what selenski did was say you know i think we'll offer ukrainian passports to russians because with a russian passport you can get arrested for holding demonstrations you can never have your free rights guaranteed so will one of you president putin and give those suffering russians passports and i'm told that that really upsets upset the kremlin so it is does alinsky well to have a good sense of humor and it seems so it's a bode well for his presidency president putin seems to be rattled by him right teri schultz in brussels tonight terry thank you well after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day for now we want to leave you with a reminder of our top story remembering the massacre on tiananmen square 30 years ago although when mainland china the crackdown has been erased from history in hong kong memories are being kept alive we have images for you of the vigil in hong kong's victoria park. the. their super sharp. many eyes themselves away. secretive then you'll hear the jingling of coins and super rich definitely around 20000000000 more or less. how do germany's w

or russia for that matter selenski won the election well today he was in brussels to meet with the european union and nato allies he needs both the e.u. and nato as he tries to reinvigorate efforts to bring peace to eastern ukraine ukrainian army has been fighting russian backed separatists there since 24 deemed his efforts are being watched closely by the more than 2000000 displaced people who have fled their homes in the region. ports. until 5 years ago this was a place where the people of the region came to pray and enjoy views but when conflict broke out in 2014 to think he just quickly became a place of refuge for thousands fleeing the fighting for a time refugees outnumber the locals $10.00 to $1.00. 5 years and some of those refugees are still here around 200 people have found home in the ministry taking the place of pilgrims who once came here in large numbers it's mainly the elderly and single parents who haven't been able to move on. is one of them and that's the beauty. of a sudden they were how it says around where we lived and they were firing but we waited for a few days befor

soldiers on the ukrainian side but also on the separatists dying even in the last few weeks i think selenski will very soon find that he's not able to change as much as maybe he's been hoping to promise in his 1st months in office he spoke very eloquently in his inaugural speech about wanting to prevent ukrainian soldiers dying at the front and doing everything he could to do that. except rather. giving up ukraine's sovereignty to crimea not all this in his hands the kremlin is the place that is the main player that isn't hasn't been engaged in these talks currently they are very influential in terms of what the separatists do and even if he were to find some kind of compromise he could make to really move things on there is a very active civil society here in ukraine hundreds of thousands of people who have fought the front thousands of people who've lost their lives there so there's a big picture of the constituency as it were who are really watching his back and will not allow him to make any compromise that they see being against ukraine's interests and emma finally had to go back to the
