what more do you think germany should be doing? the german, they have to stop and even possible way to stop by and rush and gas because the germany is sponsoring this war. and the germany was account re, blocked weapons that supports, i mean, was wrapped around, apply for them. and for them for a very long time and you blocked it. and if we had these weapons before that we have that now we, we would have totally different situation. so germany in this fear, all 4 or 4 taken parts in the war didn't, haven't seen. and didn't understand that, that isn't you have collect and germany decided to make the same mistake. but another way, you know, not having the dictator and money, but tolerating the dictator and money. and we are really happy that germany change of german change of mind. but you know, we would like you would you do that before? well, thank you so much for joining us and outlining your position for so clearly. demetrius go in a member of the cranium parliament, stacy take a look at some more developments in this conflict. a

germany. germany had always regarded itself as a kind of a bridge builder between the western russia over many decades. and now of course, with this invasion, that whole role that germany has played is being thrown into question germany very much coming down on the ukranian side saying that this invasion a justifies providing the ukrainians with weapons with which to defend themselves against the innovation that is not justified a tool, and as you just mentioned earlier, some weapons have already be supplied. so this would be essentially that the 3rd of tranche of that the germans, so are stressing at the same time that there's a limit to this. this doesn't mean that germany wants to sort of weighed in to become part of this conflict, and one of the ministers responsible robert har bag. he's the ministry of the economy. also, the vice chancellor was stressing that speaking to reporters, saying that we will not become a conflict to the party, to this conflict through actions like this. and that there are clear boundaries that we will always draw right. despite that though, the money i

there were how answers that were built when eastern germany, when germany was divided and because of rules and regulations, you know, had been sent to stone. yes. only had to ask permission from germany and they could send it to you. and they said no, that was kind of an easy no brainer. they could have just let this tony and send it . it had no money had to change hands, nothing. but there was such strong disagreement on that. so i think the, the parameter has moved dramatically in germany and i think the public, we've seen the protest, and i think that this idea of, you know, rushes influence carefully cultivated influence network across europe has crumbled . we've seen all of these former leaders who are on the boards of russian companies in their articles and in leading newspapers, citing all of these german or austrian british leaders who are russia payroll and they have resigned from their positions and noted former german chancellor schroeder has not so he's kind of a weird outlier, but he's been, you know, eating at the russian truck for quite a long time now. and i think tha

and germany decided to make the same mistake. but another way, you know, not having the dictator and money, but tolerating the dictator and money. and we are really happy that germany change its german change of mind. but you know, we would like you would you did it before. well, thank you so much for joining us and outlining your position for so clearly. demetrius go in a member of the canadian parliament state, say well, despite those attacks on the merrier paula, the escalating attacks across the country. russia is struggling to take cities like the capital keith, the w alex forest whiting, has an update on the progress of the war. as the war enters its fault week, russia continues its advance across ukraine from the south east and the north. well, let's look 1st at the capital key, which is a city that russian needs to take control of if it is to win this war. but that is proving more difficult than anticipated. it appears that advancing forces have a face significant logistical problem, such as running out of fuel and food.

and that criticism has been international, but also here in germany, that germany simply allowed itself to become far too dependent on russian sources of energy, oil and gas, also colbert, particularly natural gas, where as we've been hearing that the usage of natural gas even exceeded 50 percent for, from russia times, and it's quite interesting to watch robert hobbit, so the minister has been announcing this, he's the minutes really in the middle of all of this action of back trying to find different sources of energy because he's from the green party and he's basically been saying, we told you so about this dependence on russian gas, the green party of who's with this agenda of tackling climate change wants to reduce fossil fuel use altogether. but in particular, it's been very, very critical of russia. and in fact, he was hosting an international conference yesterday here in berlin on the transition towards clean the forms of energy. and he is very start language about russia. germany is dependent on russia describing it is being stupid that germany, in hindsight, enabled this kind

the approval process is considerably long here in germany. they want to see a sped up in tesla might be something like a blueprint for that. for stephen, this factory also faced a lot of resistance, particularly from environmental groups in the community around the factory. and now satisfied i think depends which community we're talking about. when you look at brandenburg in general, this is a region outside of berlin. it's very thinly populated. it hasn't had as many industrial um, herb plants here, industrial employers here that might offer jobs like in other parts of germany. so this is very much welcome from a job perspective. the local community has been a little upset about water issues here that will continue to be a problem at this facility is going to need the water of about a $40000.00 a population city um per year. so that is something that is going to take a massive resource from this area. it's probably going to require more wells to be dug for residents of this area. but the officials here say that the water is there and that it

it's the 1st of the 3 steps in the gas emergency plan for germany. economy minister a call about topic announced that a crisis team will now closely monitor supplies so that further steps can be taken if necessary to go to your home supplies or secure or contracts are being fulfilled and gas and oil are arriving in germany as planned. so this is a, prevention will precautionary steps prevent yawns or falls, oregon shied on. there is concern that russia could cut gas deliveries to europe unless they are paid for in roubles, which germany and other g 7 countries refuse to do. but germany is heavily dependent on russian gas importing up to 55 percent of its total supply from their hubig. it's also calling on everyone in germany to reduce their own consumption. you know, i'm respond to every kilowatt hour of energy saved, helps. and that's why i would like to combine the triggering of this early warning for gas supplies, with the appeal for companies and private consumers to help your help in germany, you're helping ukraine. when you produce your use of

and over 200000 are in germany as well. and this is only the beginning, the longer the war lasts, the more citizens will seek refuge here moving and they will find it just a few days after the russian invasion on the un joined forces and competency of the you particularly said they would take more refugees people feeling the war and i'm glad about all of the volunteers who for weeks now have been working to try to support the people who fled their homes and come quite, you know, to, you know, germany, they have opened their hearts for the people, fling ukraine and have opened their doors to them as well and their homes. so this is a wonderful example of european solidarity and talk to us. i hardly spoke. i spoke of a turning point in history, and this means that you must be better able to defend itself. germany has decided to strengthen its armed forces. many countries have also announced that they plan to do. this is robert at the nato summit. this turning point in history means also that you must become more independent f

how exposed is germany? it's the eu's biggest exporter to russia, and relies on it for its energy needs — we find out how businesses in europe's biggest economy are reacting. and in other news — digital payments without a smartphone? we check out how india is solving the problem. more now on the energy war that is emerging between russia and the west, causing global prices for oil and gas to soar. russia warns it may close its main gas pipeline to germany, if the west goes ahead with a ban on russian oil. deputy prime minister alexander novak said a "rejection of russian oil would lead to catastrophic consequences for the global market", causing prices to more than double to $300 a barrel. he added it would be "impossible to quickly find a replacement for russian oil on the european market". this in reaction to the us exploring — with its allies — a potential ban on russian oil as a way of punishing it for its invasion of ukraine. michelle fleury has the details in new york. a growing number of us po

no, you just said that germany did too little too late and that it looks as though it was wrong for germany to essentially only go for diplomacy and not increase defense spending. for example, implicitly you are criticizing anglo michael as the german chancellor who was in office for 16 years. did uncle michael's russia strategy fail? i don't know if it failed. he was. she had a very close relationship, not like friendship, but a close relationship and a good connection to vladimir putin. but he moved putin as we all know. he speaks german, former german chancellor mega is fluent and russian. that helped in many situations of tensions, of crisis. so i think she had all reason to use that to use this and i would not say she tried to. she did appeasement policy politics. but in the ends it was not successful. we have to admit that i think also if we, if we look to put in over time he, as a person, as an individual changed. there's always this, you know, people are referring to this speech that he hold here in the parliament some years ago. i think it was 2007 or 5 or something where he made a

how important is this moment for germany? it's an important moment for germany, but it's also a watershed moment for the european union. it's not only germany spending more, it's the european union for the 1st time setting up a, a program massive program where the united well sort of where the european union is, per chasing weapons is delivering weapons is even having a ready made standing force in the future in the strategic compare, so it's a watershed moment for berlin, but also for our union to some people around the world used to look at germany and sort of think of it as a sort of a big switzerland you know, country the like to make money and kind of keep it, it's hands relatively it clean. yeah. is that decisively over with now that time? well that's in with, in our hands it should be over. it should definitely leave over. and it should have never been happen in the 1st place because we cannot be allowed switzerland. we are as germany, especially after the 2nd world war. after our experiences, we cannot be neutral. we

the environmental is green party is one of germany's coalition partners. and so far it hasn't been ready to give up. it's ambitious planned to face out coal by 2030 and for more and that we asked influential economists, veronica grim if germany could handle a sudden stop of gas imports from russia. i think e and it you could be managed, but it is, of course, a severe burden also for the and german economy. there now, various studies that have looked at the scenario of the supplies of russian gas. some of those and the steel was the security of supply up energy supply and others with economic impact of a supply of russian gas in the bottom line is said, it is feasible and without getting cold in the household. but it would have significant economic consequences. and in the short term, there might be high financial burden and individual energy suppliers that can can lead to cascading effects. so preparations must be made in honor to support critical utilities and especially to prepare the next winter without russian gas and sticking with commodities after we

and as we've seen from reporting from a germany's build daily, it seems like a system that germany is focusing on that would be considered good for germany, is the arrow 3 system and, and this is what is being discussed right now according to build the system would have a cost of around $2000000000.00 euros and would be able to be deployed starting in 2025. now, the radar system that would come with this or defense defense system would be a station in 3 different parts of germany. and then the data collected by the rater would come to one central military analysis point where a soldiers would check for any, any threats coming up from, from afar. and at that point to the arrow missile could be deployed to destroy any incoming missiles, up her high above, above germany, and destroy it there. so this is what is being discussed at the moment, apparently. ok, but julie, if we look at the geography, germany has known borders, all of those neighboring countries are friendly allied countries. so is this a bit unusual for the country to feel the need to defend itself in this way? i think this

shopping criticizes germany's failure to address the growing threat posed by vladimir ha, the russian hip hop stone is risking his future to run against the war. ah, god else as well come to the program. ukraine has accused russia of committing further atrocities in the besieged port city of mario poll. ukrainian officials say russian forces bombed the theatre that was sheltering around a 1000 civilians including children. president vladimir zalinski says it was one of a number of attacks on civilians and just the past 24 hours. and this calling for more help to defend his country. a warning i'll follow the following report contains some distressing images. smoke colors from the theatre mario paul, after it was hit by a bomb days before satellite image showed the russian white for children, written in large white letters at both ends of the building. but that did not stop had being targeted when, when you really bla god, the more money blockaded. maria paul, the russian plane intentionally dropped a super powerful mom on a drama theater in the city said, hundreds of people were hiding

collins, germany is chief negotiator. oh, he says that under international law such negotiations can only take place between states. i not individual groups or there are many groups who say unfortunately were been not part of the negotiations. and if i would start to count these groups, i come easily about 101520 groups who are complaining not to have been included. but argues kapoor after the holocaust, germany didn't only negotiate with the state of israel. it also negotiated directly with many jewish groups on and others yelp. but i would of there when i, you don't know media web later and i, when i g of it, it won't matter which one, whether the outcome says caputo is that the namibian government has failed to secure direct compensation for the rarer instead the $1100000000.00 euros, which germany plans to pay will be administered by the namibian government. and the im when you go on bad g yang drive your he'd only she called me and one on india. you were an amoeba. you. what did you wound rogers you to the with the a

one of several anti war demonstrations across germany. jack. 7 lou, lou sean ah hello everyone, i'm layla rock. thank you so much for joining us. it's day 26 of russia's war of aggression against ukraine overnight the capital keith came under attack. russian showing has destroyed a shopping mall in a residential neighborhood, killing at least 8 people. and the besieged port city of mario ball has to fight a russian deadline to surrender. the european union's top diplomat says what's happening in mario paul, is quote, a war crime. a blast that shook the entire city of keith fires interrupted amid the wreckage of the mall that was hit by russian shelling, fire fighters that rush to the scene were able to pull at least one person out of the rubble alive. but the aftermath is a scene of devastation. parts of the mall were completely obliterated when those blown out metal twisted craters in what used to be the parking lot civilians killed in the bombing of civilian infrastructure. fresh and troops have been hating keith with a series of strike

our defense capability in germany. and to ensure that we are able to guarantee the security that we want guarantee multiple to have lots of. we also talked about economic cooperation and indeed there is a great deal of room there for improvement as the whole not really does of touch president has already informed you of some of our agreement that we have. and we want to establish specific dialogue out of regular dialogue on the options in order to take this even further. hi this, this is important but not just with germany and turkey in this sphere, but also between the european union and turkey. hope of obviously energy cooperation is at the top of our list. you'll be aware of the fact that germany has set itself the abs, vicious aim of phasing out fossil fuels very quickly for months if you are in not even 25 years less than that. that means for power generation from renewables winds former offshore onshore and solar bio capacities we need to improve as well. we're going to have to import some power to listen and wil

the trip is about energy and reducing germany's dependency on russian gas. germany wants to replace russian gas with gas from guitar. after talks with the amir of guitar, the german economy minister said a deal had been sealed. goes on to your eyes. oh, it's great news. and that was the purpose of this visit that we've agreed on a long term energy partnership. part most often, the companies that have come with us will now enter into deeper contract negotiations with the could sorry side. i'm just, i'm at austin's, i to, in different parts 102 french died. many of the top german business leaders are traveling with havoc. the visit is being seen as an opportunity for german companies to do business with guitar. despite open questions about democracy and human rights. after visiting guitar, the german delegation traveled on to the united arab emirates for talks unsecure in green hydrogen, produced with renewable energy that spring and d. w. 's are chief political correspondent, melinda crane. greetings, melinda. remind us again. why they're stripped to the golf was necessary and did germany ge

to digest is that germany has been on a completely wrong track. and what's hard for the jumps to digest is germany sees itself as a sort of enlightened power that it took the lessons of the 2nd world war, which it caused the lessons of the cold war where it was really, you know, absolutely on the front line of it that it learned those lessons that the applies. those were progressive way, that it stands for peace, that it stands for brute building bridges. not was. this was part of the thinking behind something like north street to lensky is essentially saying, no, this, this whole approach is wrong. that this kind of, you know, what he would see is maybe a passive approach to, to, to the real politics of great powers today. can actually contribute to was a not help to prevent them. i think that may, it will be really kind of trickling through the jump political system. i said you said earlier that it might hit home, but will it really that didn't even have the bait after? so then the speech actually, if you, there's been, there's been outraged abo

and germany said that today they want to keep social cohesion. because and here's the answer to the 2nd part. prices can still go higher. all it takes is more debate over the morality of giving funds to the aggressor or another sanction headlines. and there you go, a price of spike, and we saw that at the end of the session today for the status oil either we've also seen, you know, we nickel as, as we heard that report really i, having a very volatile trading day is going up significant percentages, what does this mean when the u. s. is already a seeing inflation at 40 your highest so this means just a lot more upset. people who have to continue to budget themselves harder. look who wants to spend more and not receive more. it goes against common logic and if you want to talk about the impact on a person's life, or on a personal myself less than a jewel from alan, from pennsylvania to brooklyn, new york, that's a 150 kilometer drive. i did the math and 2 years ago the same drive, so a guess at 289 ago and now it's 449, a gallon combined with 40 y

war zones with a place to stay in germany. the city can't cope on its own. the government is working on a plan to coordinate the distribution of refugees, but all of germany states have pledged to keep -- take people in. >> i want to say thank you to germany for helping us in the situation. and i will try to help the country in any way i can. >> it will take time to settle refugees across germany. until then, berlin will have to continue rolling out help for new arrivals. claire: to find out more on the situation of refugees arriving from ukraine in germany, i'm joined by a member of german parliament from the social democrats and a member of the committee for internal affairs. a warm welcome to helga. around 10,000 refugees are arriving every day germany. most of them are coming to berlin. what is the city doing to help? >> i think it is in a situation and the city is doing everything on the local and regional level to build accommodation, to acquire new accommodation on the state of berlin. there is a huge corporation with n

it's a big problem for germany in this comes right now. it's not just germany because of the european countries have this problem. they're all dependent on russian fuel one way or another. it takes time to disengage. i think it is true earliest continue with this policy of dollars. that was michael's policy for much longer than other capitals thought was a good idea. it really looks like a mistake now. it's not angular medical alone, of course. well actually to was finance, right. is there for a long time under wrangler medical they both have to take their shared responsibility. nick, let me ask you, were you expecting the german chancellor today to announce a huge new package of aid for ukraine? similar to what you as president biden did yesterday. i think definitely in ukraine there wasn't the expectation there was going to be some big bank overseas that has been a lot of praise, especially in the u. s. for germany, revising it's for foreign policy upping defense spending after years of resisting demands from dc washington d. c, that ger

they beat germany in wilco qualifying in germany with another let go now they've beaten italy in italy and of course not macedonia were at the euro's last year. it was their 1st major tournament and they really held their own. so yeah, an incredible forms. we have to make it clear that they are not yet qualified for the will cut. they've got to play against portugal in the play a final on tuesday, but they've got a chance, a few teams. you have definitely qualified this week. japan, saudi arabia, ecuador, uruguay. we've also got the african qualifying the player starting tonight and finishing on tuesday. and what about ukraine? because they didn't play, did they? can they still qualify? they can indeed, i mean, ukraine were meant to play scotland last night in the playoffs. and the final, understandably, it was decided that they couldn't play the game the moment. it's been postponed until june, possibly september. it has to happen before the woke up, obviously in november. and if they beat scotland, they would then have a player final against wales. now russia will also do to play pola

that's a huge american ad base here in germany. the americans sort of stood up and said, wait a minute. this hasn't been coordinated with us and this is not happened, but it was the americans in recent days were floating the idea of trying to help provide i suggest to the ukrainians via sort of swap. so what did each leader say about this? well, allow schoultz was particularly interested about what he would say because bass is, of course, in germany. yeah. it kind of talked around a little bit. but he said that, you know, germany has been providing a lot of support for ukraine and much more to many expected. and we think carefully about what we do. and it most surely won't include providing fighter jet. now he wasn't specifically saying whether it was ok for another country to provide fighter jets and, but i think maybe we can detect an implicit criticism in there from shows that maybe it's potentially is that too far to provide fighter jets. interestingly, just intruder also said that is important when considering what to provide,

about here in germany. the government is activating an early warning plan to prepare for possible shortages of gas deliveries from russia. economy minister hold at harbor it says a crisis team is being established to monitor gas supplies. this follows moscow's demand for payment and rubles which germany and other importers have rejected. harvick who's with the environmentalist green party in germany's government, also urged industry and households to conserve energy. we are then do i know that we are in a situation where i have to say clearly that every kilowatt hour of energy saved helps understand. that is why i would like to combine the triggering of the early warning level. the gas supplies with the appeal for health to companies and private consumers. you are helping germany. you are helping ukraine when you reduce your use of gas and more energy and general lucky in school and i'm spawn ablative correspondent, a. jared read is following this story and joins us now. jarrett, what is this early warning

2016 as like a bunch of the clean cut wants to see if germany was for me. the last few years have been quite arrive early in touch with. i've already done the homework when it comes to jem a bit and of course oh would look right in the eyes. birch is, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby at $900.00 on the rep route. i want to be in the news. barry person, i recall, but when you're feeling altogether, you'll realize it's called just another way of living. are you ready to meet the dad and then join me right to do it on b, w. b o. whether for digital transactions or as an investment crypto currencies are becoming increasingly popular across the globe, even as an official currency. what do you need to know before investing in crypto? and how does the digital currency work in everyday life? our topic today on shift, ah, crypto currencies are booming and social media. you can find plenty of people bragging about the profits they've made. celebrities like influencer kim kardashian and bully. what story? solomon. com even advertise, crypt occurrences. more and

so germany 1938 the austrian angels. 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 939. 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. they 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, that the west was hoping in many all 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 ar

is politics that always align with germany, sir? for germany's economy minister. energy has been high on the agenda as berlin tries to win the country of russian energy threatening good, i'm it. we're now counting on becoming independent from russian gas, with few exceptions. by summer 2024 already chron. germany has turned to cutter. one of the world's leading producers of liquefied natural gas, or ellen gee, it could help germany wean itself of russian energy. but the gulf country has a tainted human rights record, including the exploitation of migrant workers, the discrimination of women, and restrictions on freedom of expression. but germany is desperate for new trade partners. so should it still put human rights more the forefront of its trade relations? but even though the doors against the background of german history, it's a very important topic among everybody should think about this from buying products that are constitution, says human dignity is inviolable. that also cancer, other countries from which we purchase product

you are helping germany, you are helping ukraine when you reduce your use of gas or energy. >> germany's industry would be disrupted if the gas flow were to stop. lawmakers are working on a plan to support the sector. >> some industries, you cannot just turn it off and on. the whole production line is broken. it is important that weeep things running and, therefore, we are working hard in the background on some measures that will help small, medium, but large companies in germany through these rough and tough times. >> is far germany's gas supplies are not directly under threat, but the countr once to set up all possible precautions if supplies were suddenly cut. >> i am join with someone from german watt. it is good to have you on the program. the german government says it is triggering its early warning for gas supplies. do you see germany headed for an inevitable shortage of natural gas? quite -- >> it is too early to tell. the first level of the plan is about propulsion and preparedness. by definition, that means there are serious indication that a shortage is possible. with what we

as you know, germany has provided a for germany, unprecedented number of weapons deliveries to ukraine, including anti tank weapons antibiotic or so again, yes indeed. and that is an absolute to breach for germany until now with it always said it does not send weapons to conflict zones. that was what the chancellor then decided on the 27th of february in his historic speech. and to this same body, to the bonus tug saying that germany would now move beyond what had been a post war taboos. so of course that support is also going to ukraine, as is support for humanitarian aid. they are in the country also flowing via the european union. so a number of different dimensions, but stopping short of a crucial measure that has been proposed by other nato and e u. member states, and certainly by the us as well. namely, an embargo on russian fuel imports. does a germany have a plan though, on where all this money is going to come from? good question. that has not been spelled out yet. the one word we haven't heard in this budget date debate so far as the tea word, namely taxes. and i was listenin

and this is a red line also for germany also for the united states where germany of remains very firm indeed that that contact must not take place. there must not be any kind of a claim be made by moscow that a nato country of would take part in that war. and this is where germany still stands very firmly having. and i must remind a soul because a week feels like a year at this point in time. and after it took a german chance that would have so it's in only 48 hours after the russian attack to move from no, we will not deliver any weapons to declaring that those 1st deliveries surface to air rocket propelled grenades would be sent. we've just been looking at pictures here from the boat as i live and seen all our shots sticking there to the head of his party. we also saw the foreign minister anna, lena burbock. just now richard, coming to you now. this addressed to the german pearlman. it comes just a day after volota, mister lansky addressed the u. s. congress. what did you make of that speech? yeah, it was, it was extraordinary. this is just the latest it in the series of these kinds

so real estate might be less a problem than in other parts of germany. and then also if we think about the high degree of automation that we do see in today's industries, labor is not such a big factor as it used to be in the parts. but overall it is mainly there still strong german, a car industry that does attract a lot of investments that it we, bas battery makers, chip makers, or car companies investing into germany itself. okay, and scott, a in new york. thank you very much. rang as your effect return to ukraine, now, my pharmacy last year, harvested around a 100000000 tons of grain of exported around the world. now because of russia's invasion, many fields lying fallow. however, there are brave farmers who are continuing their trade despite the heightened danger. ah, farmer said he, vann york helps with the birth of a calf if an animal that will need to be fed despite the war this farm west of keep his still operational, they have to take care of their animals for as long as they possibly can. who yakima watch life goes on? calves are born. the lau

and a long germany to become dependent on, on, on russia's energy supplies. were you what, what was your feeling about that? you know, my party is fighting for many, many years to get independent of oil and gas from russia, especially. and she strengthened the when uber and angie and i think this is really important at this time. and minister bamberg and minister havoc are working tirelessly, is that we can strengthen renewable energy. it's also secure to reason and get independent from rush and gas. and oh, but this doesn't work by night or yesterday, president biden gave a speech to congress after zalinski spoke to the bonus. doc went straight back to schedule business to day after the length is bitch. why was there no debate? the bonus tag has another political cancer than the u. s. congress. for example, we are working in every single subcommittee of this house to make sure we do every sing for ukraine. we can do as i it is for in paula's foreign policy or it's human italian aids odds defense policy max looks their member of the german parliament foreign

and germany sign a naval agreement. 1938. the okay. france and italy agree to the petition of czechoslovakia between germany, poland, and hungary. 1939 black via and estonia, assigned non aggression acts with germany as law claude us. and i'm an golf from deutsch front door to want brandy's of it's on your knees, pushed him to mass numb echo from heter citizen type point dan viva. cassandra carlos ish give isn't oh, the magnet folks gave me. well, i guess he wagner. in england's state on the arkansas amino field is was well known american author, dean henderson thinks of past events. poland and hungary invaded czechoslovakia before hitler invaded poland because poland and hungary work and already with the nazis and france in england basically threw czechoslovakia under the bus. and they don't really want us to remember that part you see, but they just abandon them and. and again, if hadn't been for stolen coming on the eastern front, they would abandon a lot more people in eastern europe as well. mm hm. however, on september

so i think there is a change of heart here in germany. the ukrainian president today accused germany basically of being an enabler, allowing vladimir putin to become the warrior that he is right now. and he also said that you are continuing to enable him by continuing to buy energy from him. that's right. it was an extraordinarily tough sort of accusation. in the address from zalinski i thoughts, french and z also said that the german is often repeated slogan of never again, never again war and aggression by germany that stand. he said that it has no value and no meaning because of what germany has done or failed to do as he sees it. well, you know, it's, of course he's, he's right in the sense that europe generally and germany in particular continues to be incredibly dependent on russian oil and gas. hundreds of millions of euro's going in daily to russia. and supposing this war effort, therefore, indirectly. but it's not so easy to just yourself off that day to day. i, you know, it's a transition that the german government says it wants
