he added that putin likens the conflict in ukraine to the fight against nazi germany. that he says is the falsification of history. neither with dog. i'm the fellow citizens of this country. yes 77 years ago to day saw the end of the 2nd world war in europe. when the weapons fell silent on the 8th of may 1945, it was like the hush of a cemetery. descending on the graves of more than 60000000 women, men and children often flocked. millions of them fell on the battlefield. millions were murdered in their towns and villages in concentration. camps for extermination camps. and it was germans who perpetrated these crimes against humanity. on roof laptops of live through it is all the more painful to witness how to day a 77 years after the end of the 2nd world war. barbaric violence is once again, making a mockery of justice in the heart of europe, to witness in russia's army murdering men, women and children in ukraine, the producing cities to rubble and even attacking people as they flee. this violence is these, for me, my, this is an 8th of may like no other than that me.

and accountability is germany. going to insist on that in any p steel that is agreed with russia now. but it's clear that it cannot be, it can only be a solution when the ukraine or crease to it. okay. and is the sovereign state and we cannot act for the ukrainians. this is their business and we should, we shouldn't do that. i mean, that would be very arrogant. they have to decide what they want to do and we have to decide how we can support them as good as we can and you will submit whatever there are probably will. you will support them, whatever they ins. no, no, that wouldn't now, and that would be, that would be irresponsible because of course we are responsible we are doing and as i said, and besides, that's exactly what the opinion is of president brian and also president my call and that's ne don't, doesn't want to get involved in this war directly. that is the position everybody shares and i really want to stress that because sometimes i have the impression people think that it's germany who holds and prev

as germany holds the d 7 presidency, germany has demonstrated that it backs ukraine also, ever since the annexation of crimea, almost 2000000000 euros in german money has been pumped into the ukranian economy. and germany has also crossed its own red lines in supplying weapons and supplying heavy weapons there. of course also is this invitation by voting music, then ski full of souls to come to key if. but that simply is not going to happen, not least because he's meeting him on a mac, on his 1st 4 visit, as freshly re elected president or sam by mckayla schultz as also positioned himself, as we said on the side of ukraine. but he also spoke about germany's legacy from world war 2. this is what he had to say. auster. we have learned a crucial lesson from the disastrous history of our country. between 19331945. it is never again, never again war. never again, genocide, never again. tyranny. although and yet it has happened again. war in europe, ukrainian presidents lensky, referred to this to day in the, in the current situation. this can only mean defending justice and liberty from 5

today, germany followed the u. s. and the u. k. and took the very symbolic step of reopening, as embassy in the ukrainian capital key, a show of solidarity with ukraine. now in its 3rd month battling a russian invasion, germany's foreign minister reopened the embassy to day and also announced war weapons deliveries to you. grant of the issue of weapons deliveries. it remains delicate. ukraine has been sharp and its criticism of germany for an initial reluctance to supply heavy weapons and fort germany's economic ties to russia. now the rift really opened when german president front walter stein meyer was in warsaw, poland, getting ready to depart on a visit to keep ukrainian president zalinski, then sent word to stein meyer, telling him not to come apparently due to his past, as the german foreign minister in which he championed closer ties with russia that said to day on the line of iraq began her visit in boucher the town near keith. that was the sight of widespread atrocities when it was under russian occupation. she said that g

the only problem is that so many countries in europe, including germany, a totally reliant on germany and russia rather full, that oil and gas. sure, the chancellor is signalled dead that germany is going to win itself off by the end of the year as far as oil goes, but that won't be quick enough for the ukrainians. they're telling us that up to a 100 soldiers dying every day in the eastern parts of the country. there are citizens who are being targeted and killed, and the heretic stories and accounts way hearing here in the pictures. ah, just that horrify. i'm going to bring in a julia who's here with me in studio what stood out for you. but definitely it was and a show by shots of what germany has done so far for ukraine. the chancellor has come under criticism of both in, in the country and outside for germany not doing enough to help you. crane ukraine itself has criticized germany for not delivering enough weapons and weapons that are not heavy enough. and it shows today, wanted to show that germany is there for its partners, is there for ukraine, and is doing as much as it can to

apparently training, training on the whole bits are, are about to begin in germany. but also this is actually what people here and ukraine we're looking forward to here. hearing is that germany says we are going to support germany, is going to support ukraine when it comes to your membership. however, at the same time they of course want to keep and all of that realistic saying that this is not going to happen overnight is not going to be a short when it comes to you memberships have. and the have to remember people took to the streets and of 2013 here, and key of people who are dying because of they are longing towards the vast towards the european union. in fact, a coolie about the foreign minister of ukraine said, this is an issue of life and death, the e u membership. but once again, here, germany really wants to keep those hopes quite realistic that this is something that's not going to happen overnight. having said that, were there any remaining points of tensions? it seems for now, especially now that presidents lensky and foreign minister babies have met as w

that's also quite a stretch for germany. not uncontroversial in germany. what about energy imports from russia? melinda? because, you know, they are obviously essential for russia to keep up it's war machine to pay for all of that. did we learn anything more about how fast germany can wean itself off of russian gas and oil? we heard from the economy and climate minister who has been working tirelessly to do just that. and who has some pretty astonishing numbers to present russian. a gas used to be 55 percent of all germany's fossil fuel gas imports. it's now down to 35 percent. an oil is down from 35 to 12 percent. that is pretty astonishing in a matter of a couple of months. and that's crucial because as we heard today, the use going to move ahead on an oil embargo and germany, a powerhouse of industry really relies on those fossil fuels to run its companies. so a lot of jobs depend on this. the chancellor had been very reluctant to go along, especially with a gas embargo that appears to have moved on oil. germany's economics minister open hawk hobbit was

one of the major suppliers claims it can easily replace russian gas supplies to germany. the carriers dock at the floating storage ree gas if occasion units the f s are use i la f as i used to yet st with that type of hard to contract was signed today for a face i use. well, it will provide a quarter of germany's gas meets at dodge, got at a significant amount doctors not to the for the german government and will be a step closer to having independence from russian gas in. so we're not paying as god follows as we have goes, but here and val himself and on the north sea environmental concerns are dampening the mood the coast is home to the harbor porpoise, a protected species, conservation of say, the ellen, geez, endanger the sea animals. so they are going to take legal action lavender from lead me with of course, the boring of you that we hear right now have you causes vibrations under water that can disturb, porpoise habitat, zebra, fine. but the main threat to that is actually the fisheries and nuts. now, there might be driven away from the area, but this can be adequa

it needs to be in germany, even in some, somebody don't know germany or english at all. so it's, i think it's a main broad problem. but also, and sometimes it's hard to connect to correct to her or if you g with there, ah, professional, because in ukraine they've got some level of professional. but it's not the same in germany. the job platform for ukrainians has been around for close to 2 months since then they have filled more than $5000.00 jobs across europe. marco's digman is one of the initiators of the project. the idea came up immediately after the outbreak of war and was implemented in just 5 days and nights. vacancies are not only in europe, but all over the world to close the whole sort of list as the biggest challenge to be very clear is that it's highly educated, men and women who come to us and that we will find the right job for them. according to their training and that the i t x bird is not placed in a nursing home, but can find a real job in their profession. and someone who's a great nurse then of course, gets the job in nursing. that's the biggest chal

germany move away from russian gas. it's definitely positive. everything that makes you more independent is always good jobs. yeah. yeah. jobs too and it's good for business. yeah. but environmentalists are critical of the construction. if you're serious effects on the coasts and inland waterways. germany still imports about 35 percent of the gas. it needs by a pipelines from russia before the war. that share was well over 50 percent. the government is now planning to stop using russian natural gas altogether by 2024. in no small part. thanks to these floating gas terminals and a reminder of the top business story we're following for you this. our data shows that consumer prices and turkey increased by almost 70 percent an april compared to the same period last year. turkey now has the 6 highest inflation rate in the world . and that's it for me and the dw business team for more check us out. i d, w dot com slash business, and the d to view news, youtube channel. we're also on facebook and healthy delaney and berlin. th

and germany said yesterday, it would do so. and that's not necessarily an easy matter for a social democratic chancellor. there is a lot of concern within the social democratic party. we've seen it in a recent open letter to the chancellor about whether germany essentially is becoming a party to the war. whether germany is becoming a martial power as it was by focusing on heavy weapons deliveries. so once again, a big topic for this cabinet to discuss both these of the ukrainians and, and the northern european countries that would like to join nato, but also their own policy within the cabinet. definitely will definitely be touching on that again. but today, in just a few moments, we're going to be hearing for both the economy is to end the finance minister. why is that and why? that's a significant? well, we've already seen a budget that contains a number of special provisions for dealing with both the reforms to the german military to finally investing in bringing the bond is fair up to speed. there's been under investment fo

also in germany that germany is backing the ukraine military by actually sending weapons. this always in the context of the 8th of may, that was, is seen as a moment of liberation here in germany, from the nazi regime. and on this commemorative day, the russians, the ukrainians, all the allied forces with the heroes of this story. and we heard the german president earlier on both come from the social democratic party, say that the dream of a joint european house, where everybody has a room, including russia, had turned into a nightmare. and all assaults backing this up by saying that and saying never again to the war actually now essentially means standing up to the russian aggressor. very strong, worse than i will show. so clearly position himself on the side of ukraine, seeing that russia will not win this war. how the speech like could be received in keith. well, i think it's see, there's very much welcome have, but he does stop source of what key it would have liked to see which is the german chance that actually come to key if on monday, tomorrow when russell celebrat

ah, smoking quote in germany is about to get easy. a cheaper cleaner and more responsible can already be in possession of a small amount of marijuana here. and for lisa, fairly relaxed about you smoking it, but you're not allowed to grow or sell it. i'll get to the business case in a moment. first, why germany's new green leaning coalition wants to legalize it is how fe alongside the, the, for a long time them could belief was that fanning cannabis with which stop consumption camire through people consume cannabis. but at the moment, people are consuming canvas where they don't have a clue. what next to the plant material is inside. you can be mixed with all sorts of nasties and contain heavy metals from the soil. it's grown in. and if you can fuel candidates today, you're directly supporting criminal organizations, that you're directly supporting other drugs. and this will be changed by the consumption in the regulated market. emilio certainly, i'd prefer that these people obeyed the law, paid taxes, and stuck to the quality requirem

♪ eric campbell: germany is letting go of coal. europe's biggest economy has closed its black coal mines without sacking a single worker. now it's phasing out the brown coal it burns for electricity. but climate activists say it's still not enough. we find out why a country built on coal believes coal's days are numbered. and we join a raid with young activists fighting to stop coal now.

i was born and raised in germany. i am very, very aware of germany's dark history. for me, it's so real to see how the term anti semitism is being misused, to silence palestinian legitimate narrative to silence jewish individuals and jewish organizations. if their narrative does not fit the german narrative in germany, we have nazi's in the police. we have the right wing terrorist attacks by nazis. anti semitism is real and shifting the whole debate on anti semitism towards silencing people who speak up for palestinian human rights is really, really dangerous because it down plays the real threats of anti semitism and racism . and finally, almost 60 years ago, the german jewish author, hannah rent wrote about the fearsome banality of evil that underpinned the nazi movement that carried out the holocaust. it is a phrase that echoed again this past week with the release of what's being called, the syn jag police fight. this huge trove of data was hack from internal police networks in sin, jang, and handed to adrian sans a researcher based in germany. and one of the mo

now, germany is among those countries delivering the most and most powerful weapons to ukraine. so the political class is certainly grateful. and in the no, and they understand that germany has been evolving on this issue and changing its mind, especially since they've seen that the reaction from russia is not quite what they expected. in other words, a germany had long been worried about escalating the conflict by sending heavy weapons which does not seem to have happened. russian forces have moved mostly to the east, but i would also add that most people on the street are not following the day to day visits by a top political brass from around europe almost every day. a new politician or foreign minister visits ukraine. so i think most ukrainians just want, ah, the humanitarian and weapon supplies, and they're not really keen on understanding who they're getting it from. ok, what a boat is that something is coming in that relations are on the opposite. michelle ukraine. cold, this visit in historical tony point relations with germany, g d with great why it certainly appears to

but energy in general, germany took the other approach. it followed this flawed oh, politic policy where it was trying to actually entrench its energy relationship through the now defunct north string to pipeline. and these are the sort of things that germany is actively moving away from and getting onto the global market is, is really, you know, a big, big step. something that other countries like poland and bulgaria and others, which i heard you talking about earlier. they've already taken those steps. germany really need to take a page out of their energy security playbook to become more resilient to kremlin pressure as ever good talking to you. thanks so much for joining us. dr. benjamin schmidt from the harvard smithsonian center astrophysics. thanks so much. ah, and germany is detected its 1st case of the rare monkey pox virus, the armed forces medical service said the case had been found in a patient in munich. now this as a, as a growing number of european countries and others around the world report outbreaks, us doctors are inves

well, finance ministers from a group of 7 leading economists meeting here in germany. i've been grappling with the economic effects of russia's war and ukraine. german finance minister christiane lyndon who's been hosting the talk said the g 7 has agreed to provide ukraine with a liquidity, lifeline of almost $20000000000.00 to insure it has enough money to defend itself against russia's invasion. and the i m. f predicts, ukraine's economy will shrink by more than a 3rd this year and next yesterday. and we stand with you cream, you cream is realizing it is right to self defense. it more than that, if you defending our shared values on the financing and the financial situation was especially the supply of liquid funds, must not be allowed to restrict the possibility of military action. janese soviets was at some, i'm franken and $27.00 ministers of war and that the war is causing global economic disruptions impacting energy supply of food production and export, as well as the functioning of supply chains around the world. are ukraine accuses russia of deliberately targe

it is obviously very significant given germany's historical responsibility given the lessons that germany learned from the 2nd world war. and in this particular context, where once again, there is a war in europe so that, that one component a very clear historical component there. but at the same time, for all of shots and his government, it's about explaining it's about presenting his government's policy on ukraine. this tends to be particularly important in germany. it's important to stress that it is not very common for a german chancellor to talk live like that, or at least present his ideas on a national address on television. and all sorts clearly saw the need to do so not only given that historical responsibility, but also because he believes there's a need to explain his policies much better when it comes to helping ukraine and also countering rushes aggression. how much support is there for the government response for germany's response to the crime will well, it's the, it has to be seen separately. point by point. there are certainly issues where germans are very supportive of t

so germany 1938 the austrian angels. the petition of czechoslovakia by germany, poland. and hungary, the beginning of world war 2. having realized the danger in march 1939, the soviet union proposed an anti fascist alliance to western countries. this has 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 just in 1939. when the soviet proposed and elias britain and france against hitler, it had been actually throughout the late last half of the 900 thirty's, that the soviets were pushing for that. had that happened, we could have stopped hitler. we could have prevented the holocaust. we could prevent the world war 2 because hitler was weak and he was weak. and he was bluffing. and assuming that the west was not going to stand up to him at the west was hoping and many 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 are most strongly opposed to the nazis. ah ah, need to co
