There also increasing support for the military shot and survivors of a nightmare boat journey are rescued of tapered in the atlantic. More than 60 people are believe to have died on the 5 week voyage as migrants tried to reach here the. Im pablo police. Welcome to the program. Germany is set to by the advanced arrow 3 Missile Defense system from israel following us approval of the sale. Its part of german efforts to build up a sky shield in response to russias invasion of ukraine, developed jointly by israel. Im the u. S. B arrow 3 is capable of intercepting High Altitude Ballistic Missiles and is used in israel, so called iron dome. Israel says the system could be delivered to germany by 2025, and could be fully operational by 2030 feet 3500000000 dollar deal will be israel. Biggest ever defense . So whats bringing my teeth . I can, he is an analyst in the defense and Security Research group at the round Europe Institute in the english and city of cambridge. Welcome to dw, so with b r o 3 system, germany wants to strengthen its own, and europes defense capabilities in the face of russias invasion of ukraine. So what i want to know is this purchased the right decision by berlin. Yes, the arrow 3 is a very capable and the ballistic Missile Defense system and what versus full scale imation of ukraine in february 22 showed was that there was a lack of ground air base Defense Missile system, air Defense Missile systems in europe. And so the early 3 will certainly compliment a german air defense capabilities and by extension, white or Nato Air Defense capabilities. In this regard, are we talking about countries, whether European Countries like the baltics uh, potentially uh, the uh, the uh, error 3 is, is very effective as a, as a medium range altitude. So for example, the intercepting missiles that were, were to be launch from collecting grad or, or, or so on. But yeah, yes, this is a very capable i ag system that, that would be able to protect in the 1st instance germany, but also potentially highlights further afield. Such as in the baltics. Now israel says arrow 3 is the most advanced system of its kind, but what kind and can to protect against . So there are 3 is primarily designed to intercept the ballistic missile, se intercontinental Ballistic Missiles during whats called the extra atmospheric f a part of its flight. So in other words, during its space based portion of it, of it, of its flight. And what makes the are 3 unique is a, it has what its called in bird motor technology. In essence, we can changes direction very, very quickly. And this makes it a very capable intercept. So thats what, what makes it unique and is its unique selling point right now, especially with arrow 3 germany is uh, were planning on building up a sky shield for a huge part of europe. So how will this actually work exactly . Well, how will the other European Countries with their air defenses fit into the system . So thats a good question. I think thats one of the challenges that is facing skies shield is how to for this european integration and cooperation through sky shield. Whatever 3 does is give sky shield some much needed emphasis and kind of confidence, particularly in the High Altitude air defense and, and, and to ballistic Missile Defense system. But i think its no secret that other European Countries might have wanted to see a, a european system, or possibly even a us system to further closer defense cooperation in europe. But the are 3 is nevertheless, a very capable system for european defense. Right. When youve touched on it, there. So how are germanys European Partners and allies likely to react to this deal as well . Well, that will have to leave that to the so the allies and the partners to, to respond for it for comment. But i think france has made no secret to, for example, of its fact that it would like to see greater um, uh, corporation on, on Missile Defense in, in europe. Uh, nevertheless, i think this is the success of, of every 3 years. The fact that germany is buying error 3 gives some much needed confidence and boost to to sky shield and shows that sky shield is, is a viable platform for european Missile Defense. If not indeed, the, the only viable platform for, for Missile Defense cooperation throughout europe. Its going to take some time on till arrow 3 is delivered and it wont be fully operational until when at least 2030. So does not leave germany exposed to until then. I wouldnt say so we, i version attack on, on data or germany is still very, very unlikely, especially given that russia is bogged down in, in, in ukraine. But even in a worst case scenario, there are other air Defense Systems available. Germany, for example, already has the Patriot Missile system that has been deployed and ukraine ad that is capable of, of intercepting, im a Ballistic Missiles. I both have medium and High Altitudes and indeed the us army uses a patriot and then enter ballistic Missile Defense role. So now germany is not a defense list and the lead up to are 3 coming online and there are there systems available and, and then attack on germany. Oh, and nato is still very, very unlikely. All right, well leave it there to yes, i can from the rand your Research Institute in cambridge, thanks for joining us on data. Thank you very much. My pleasure. The ukraine says it has read, taking the village of china in the net screech, and its part of the counter offensive to reclaimed territory. Occupied by russia. Chief has made slow progress since the counter offensive began 2 months ago. A shell is loaded into an american. How its a cannon. This is the frontline of ukraines counter offensive. Since june, the army has been pushing back from active positions that extend more than 1200 kilometers. And despite the supply of weapons from the west, there only making limited progress with limited power and its forces stretched then. But even small advances could turn out to be technically significant. This week ukrainian troops on the south Eastern Front claimed to have re take in the small village of rush china, located within a 150 kilometers of the ports of russia occupied mary, you pull and buddy and. And if you create and where to take those cities, the land bridge that connects crimea to russia through occupied ukraine would be broken. But getting through heavily fortified russian lines wont be easy. Theyll need to cross open fields which are extensively mind, where they also run the risk of attacks from the f and Russian Troops behind the tree line. And if they make it that fall next, theyll face and elaborate. Mays of trenches and metal and concrete and deep tank defenses, known as dragons teeth. Still small advances by the the side will reduce the capabilities of the of the rush. I recently intensified that separation in the northeast, drawing Ukrainian Forces away from most strategic areas in the southeast. Now ukraine is making gains on that front, forcing moscows military to redeploy. But the to and fro cannot continue in its current form for long as autumn and mud the season, fos, the purchase. When oil tanks will be stopped in the tracts until spring a little earlier, we asked to maureen, them youre wrong from Kings College london, how the ukrainian counter offensive is going they um, it is going very slowly and certainly its not as it has been expected because of all the difficulties, those are Ukranian Armed forces are facing. Now they have managed to take and infringe themselves in the village offices are trying, which is important. Theyre in a tactical sense and it remains to be seen whether they can develop that success and push south to toward c o c. So that, that would be the, the idea kind of to cut the Russian Forces in, into however, were also seeing some limited successes, another direction such as the wrong box moved. But were also seeing a lot of activity in, in the black sea where the ukrainian drove and so challenging the black sea fleet. So there are small successes in different locations. But overall, the progress is not as fast as desire is given a number of factors such as the lack of air power. And the good defense is that the russians manage to build. So it will be difficult for the ukrainians to use this window of opportunity to get a big breakthrough before the month. Season starts mandatory on the list marina, around there. When in february, germany pledge to start sending battle times to help Ukrainian Forces retail territory from russia since then, scores of leopard one and 2 tanks have been sent. And with the tanks and exhaust of europe wide program to teach ukrainian soldiers have to use them. So far at 6000 ukrainians have been trained on dw, was given rare access to one of those training exercises. Just a couple of hours from here and bringing. Or its a crash course in loading fighting tanks around a 1000 battle hobb and ukrainian soldiers of being put to the test. And these german bill, black with one tanks, the targets, downtown military hardware season in the hillside. This exercise is designed to simulate a counter attack. The hope here is that these tanks will give them the head like in the school was brought us to the western equipment is different from our old equipment. And you see that in the quality except behind in other areas, you can really feel that youll see its not just operational training, the soldiers that shown how to look after that tanks in the midst of all this 32 year old father was working as an electrician when rush are invited, not anymore cutting those the moody look right. And we will the right to our country over the head, making a future, a good one. The russians should not attack city. So the see and youre going to go to germany. Aims to train 10000. 00 soldiers by the end of the year, positive away to european effort to support to ukraine. Somebody okay, in front of understand what id like to point out is the unbelievably impressive motivation. And the willingness and passion of the ukrainian soldiers who are being trained face is always highly inspiring and motivating for the train is to off before the whole cottage is bulio and one or more to the end of the hospital. The soldiers here have a sick then final week of training ahead of them. Then its back home to the real thing. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world.

One, seduce new order in new jersey to dr. Kabir adamo is a security analyst and managing director of beacon consulting, and Enterprise Security Risk Management and Intelligence Solutions provider in nigeria as capital a booge are welcome to dw. So have any decisions been reached at this eco last meeting regarding the situation and is your oh yeah, they the, what were hearing from the venue of the meeting is that the participants about 11 countries, uh, committed themselves to a military intervention if it comes to god in other words, they have endorsed the outcome of one area and meeting the, the outside building a good job where the shut it out, it costs of military intervention. So it appeared that this is the thinking, their way before the meeting did the corresponding and meeting where the members that i def i divided. And so this meeting was more or less in the end of that, that initial decision to go ahead with the military division if it comes to it isnt mandatory intervention really seen as a viable way of restoring democracy in nature . A. Mr. Lee, um it is an option uh several of the options being you can see that um most of them are diplomatic options. Um they kind of expansions ive been imposed on them from over here in the jar, the fix up to the economy extension about being sold at the moment. I think the intention of vague was member steve is up to the comic sanctions. Would lead to a less then support for the media treatment. And i need that support reduces identity me before to come to the table to discuss a house or a statement of the prison visit. Lets talk a little bit more about the, the sanctions.

We to impose funding in, in for this tension and yet in new jersey is a lot of concrete. It is huge lead boulevard. It depends on the development. 8 phone was about 40 percent of the needs. And so with that is cut off and then like i said already, the effect of the economics mentioned by a cost. Now youve the rest of the wallet, also supports that. And you know, the more attention thing, then the effect would definitely develop. Now the top has been able to control the not rate to make a course look like that, but you know, frontier in order one more thing to do and ill be responsible for the institution or changing government. So i think the combination of the function and then more effort in strategic communication, the type that would redirect this type of thing to. So that might be due in fiji, does not change and government. And then of course, do roll up the one time during the would probably how i changed a bit of the weight screen at the moment.
