in the meantime , uh, steinmeier spoke about sidzinpin's visit to russia . peace initiative will be successful only when there is a willingness to talk with ukrainians. germany's frankfurter steinmeier cannot assess what the results of the negotiations in moscow will be, the german president said, he can only say that every peace initiative, regardless of who it originates from, will be successful only if there is a willingness to talk with the ukrainians with the ukrainian president , steinmeier said, he would like if china played a constructive role, but the german leader added that it is necessary to understand what a just peace means, it involves first of all clearly stating who is the aggressor and who is the victim in this war against russia this is such an extremely important signal of ukraine, well, there is already a reaction to the decision of the international criminal court of the international criminal court in gaza from the united nations , the spokesman for the office of the un secretary general stefan eh duzharyk, his name is the following, w

battlefield and berlin instead of paris was launched by king charles iii he was met by president steinmeier on his first state visit abroad in berlin . let's start with today's leading event. in the very morning , hundreds of believers came there, prayed inside and outside, the church service was led by archimandrite laurel metropolitan pavlo in the sermon after the service. he said to leave the walls of the church representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church are not going to meet and have already filed a lawsuit, now they are waiting for a decision, well, since the very morning, my colleague vitaly chervonenko has been working near the lavra, and we will talk with him about everything, vitaly. greetings to you. by eye, about half a thousand of them passed, maybe a little more, everything went very calmly, even surprisingly calmly , because they expected that there might be some provocations, yesterday there were some clashes in other regions, but everything went very well, no opponents of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, they did not come to the police, there w

walter steinmeier.isable all around the world. absolutely. absolutely in the same way his mother was she was most famous, most photographed woman on, the planet. and i think charles probably is the most photographed man , the photographed famous man, the planet. just getting now planet. he's just getting up now the got his speech the king. he's got his speech with him. he's shaking hands of . the local premier so we're going to go live now to listen to our king charles, who said addressing the first time by a british monarch the german bundestag said make do well, dig ahead to hear this president say get to throw bundestag's president in there. but it happened. diamond terror is his and gross error created by eden's . minus. throw me eden's. minus. throw me a deutsche ziv feel does via of minor and iceland's rise as koenig knocked deutschland angel out in . the hunt for alarm does out in. the hunt for alarm does see here sprechen dove um does this to french shoved and sort of linda to a new. new script

walter steinmeier is one person who decides nothing. really is there is a conspiracy theory that actually solves, but we take that reigns, but wrongly came to another person who does not solve anything. and now people are being presented that this is democracy . the question is who manages the scholz, whom no one trusts, and in a few years the 70th anniversary of the fifth republic should be celebrated . on one disk of this france , the discussion platform argued that the fifth republic would live to its seventieth anniversary, or because no republic in france had lived for so long. well, the model means she died. i read that degul wrote a5 to the republic. you just put the macron and the definition of degulya de gaulle wrote that the president should be the supreme arbiter with unquestioned authority, which i quote almost verbatim, which reflects the interests. nations and can conduct them. just imagine a macron and these definitions were degumming. it's not even close. in fact , macron is the gravedigger of the fifth republic, she doe

these are long-suffering agreements, and the steinmeier formula, then there is a mechanism for the entry the law on a special procedure for local self-government in the donbass, uh. after all, this was also a part of large agreements, serious agreements on how to get out of the deadlock associated with the fact that this law does not enter into force, that it is necessary to hold elections and they talked about elections for some time. uh, serious enough, very tight. let's just say it's worth the point of view when everything collapsed. that's when it became clear that everything would be nothing, how far from the war from the war of action. i think it's e. what's first call? uh, there was a failure here, well, the first one out there from uh, maybe not. there , the last three last two, the failure of the agreement on the establishment of a coordinating council by representatives of the public of ukraine and donbass is the beginning of the twentieth year, if i am not mistaken. ah, when this agreement, although it seemed, uh, so completely symbolic, but it assumed that it was possible to

welcome will be held at the brandenburg gate, it will be hosted by the german president, frank—walter steinmeier it is also a big moment in germany because no post—war head of state has ever had a full ceremonial welcome of the nature that king charles is about to receive. 0ur correspondence there, watched a little earlier the red carpet being rolled out for king charles's first state visit. this has been a visit that had to be changed at the last minute, he was due to go to paris but because of unrest on the streets over the government's pension reforms, president micron suggested the trip be postponed and so now he is in berlin. people waiting silently, it looks as if there king' arrival is likely to happen soon. let's just give it a moment. there will be much more on the king's trip on the bbc news channel. let's take a look at the weather. there will be sunnier skies between the downpours, but tonight the conditions will continue right into the evening, the best of brightness in the west but outbreaks of rain to see the day out and some heavy bursts in devon and cornwall as the evening showe

members of the local british community, they were accompanied by germany's president frank—walter steinmeier and has since been postponed. you're watching bbc news. stay with us, bye for now. hello, the last day of march was unsettled across the southern half of the uk. plenty of showers and areas of heavy rain and strong winds, but this area of low pressure will clear away during the first part of the weekend, and into the start of april, things become a bit drier and brighter and more settled and we should start to see more sunshine on sunday. this area of low pressure has been pulling away into the near continent, taking strong wind with it but leaving a legacy of cloud. further showers and a weather front bringing further rain to northern ireland, parts of wales, southwest and southern england, some of the rain heavy at times. further north, a lot of cloud across north sea coasts but western scotland and northwest england seeing the best of any clearer skies are so temperatures may take a bit of a tumble. for saturday, still an area of low pressure pulling away very slowly to the near co

here they are with president frank—walter steinmeier and the first lady, accompanying the king on hisfrom the german president. we can take a little sound from it. speaks german. prince charles himself speaks some german, not a surprise because the british royal family is german. german, not a surprise because the british royalfamily is german. when the british ran out of royals, not least of course because of the controversial question of which religious denomination you belong to, which caused a lot of wars in europe between the 1500s and 1900s, the british turned to germany, and their nearest but rather distant cousins, in what was then the land of hesse. germany was not a country until around 1870, it was a series of princely states, in those days part of the holy roman empire that then fell away. the president i think is alluding to some of that history at the moment. until the outbreak of the first world war in 1914, which was germany against britain and other allies, the german and austro—hungarian empire and others, they then changed their name to the fictitious name of windso

on to the brandenburg gate where there was an official welcome hosted by president frank—walter steinmeiervisiting head of state. the visit is being seen as part of a move by the uk to improve relationships with its european neighbours. it includes a visit to the german president's residence, bellevue palace, where the king and queen consort signed the guest book and will enjoy a state banquet in their honour. let's hear now from king charles who's been speaking at a state banquet this evening. we stand side by side in protecting and advancing our shared democratic values. this is epitomised so clearly today as we stand together with ukraine in defence of freedom and sovereignty in the face of unprovoked aggression. let's also hearfrom the german president, who was speaking earlier today. translation: this visit, your very first trip - abroad as the new king, your majesty, is a great personal gesture and at the same time i think it is an important gesture for german—british relations and today on the day six years ago when britain began its exit from the european union, we're opening a new

the largest number of steinmeier soldiers visited was the german air force unit stationed in marie in were defending democracy there on the eve of the president of the federal republic of germany, the military personnel of the bundessphere. we decided to show. how exactly do they guard the airspace of estonia and flew to intercept a russian aircraft, tanker 78, flying between our st. petersburg and our kaliningrad german british pilots, but typhoon fighters escorted our unarmed aircraft. at the same time, as western media recognize the airspace . estonia and 78 were not included, but the luftwaffe royal air force decided anyway to show that it is not in vain that they, apparently, eat bread and rise to intercept the pilot, complain that russian ghost planes constantly fly with transponders turned off and understand that it is in the air that a fighter bomber or a roadless aircraft can only be flown up and inspected visually. an american drone in the black sea is not the only mid-air clash of recent days between russia and nato in the baltic sea, german eurofighters had to raise an ala

at the brandenberg gate in the german capital berlin, and meet the german president frank—walter steinmeier so instead, it will be here at the brandenburg gate in berlin that king charles will begin the first state visit of his reign, with british officials hoping for a smoother passage than was in prospect in france. keep calm and carry on. that could be the unofficial motto of royal visits. it wasn't possible in france, the french decided, because of the street protests over the pension reforms. it should be possible here in germany for a state visit which takes place at an important moment in anglo—german relations. state visits often symbolise something significant. roll back to 1965 and it was the state visit to the then west germany by the late queen elizabeth which put the seal on the restored relationship between two countries which only 20 years earlier had been at war with each other. and now in the europe of 2023, a europe with britain outside the eu, this state visit will highlight the bigger picture, the many links that remain and the shared resolve over ukraine. so charles, wh

well, uh, when you're a steinmeier there, it's good with us. this is different. it's not different.hese are our people a little bit of them. now there, of course, diluted now applies to us in the context of the russian ukrainian conflict, the russian-speaking street is not the most numerous. she is there for the most part. anti-russian. so there is no need to tell our people, not ours, our people. here they are our people, just now they are draping to israel, so here are the words. on about our bill, yes, perhaps, once in bright times it was like that, but as the heracles said, everything flows and changes. many of us used to be our people, but as soon as it was locked up, they changed their rhetoric. and the same applies to bibi , who has been absent from the political arena for a very long time. and how it was absent , a lot has changed, when he came, he now in his country cannot be universal solution. well, firstly, enje can conclude agreements, and joint defense, for example, with china and russia, and then the nuclear umbrella and russia, china is right here an agreement. and w

walter steinmeier is one person who decides nothing.t solve anything. and so people are presented that this is democracy the question who governs the scholz, whom no one trusts, and in a few years the 70-70th anniversary of the fifth republic should be celebrated. on one disk of this france, the discussion platform argued that the fifth republic would live to its seventieth anniversary, or because no republic in france had lived for so long. well, the model means, so she died. i read that degul wrote about the fifth republic. you just put a macron and de gaulle's definition wrote that the president should to be the supreme arbiter with unquestioned authority, which i quote almost verbatim, which reflects the interests. nations and can conduct them. just imagine macron and these definitions of degulia. it's not even close. in fact, the macron is the gravedigger of the fifth republic, she does not die. she is dying. in a sense, the meaning that golf laid in the fifth republic this is a strong presidential power, based on the moral authori
