days of pressure on berlin from ukraine's western allies. from it came, reports, a consignment of german weapons makes its weight eastward. these are elements of a patriot missile battery, which is being deployed in poland. they're being sent there to protect the polls against malfunctioning russian rockets. that may miss targets in ukraine to be around mid poignance on slightest. let's give you told me the most of poland after slovakia is now our 2nd area of operations and the training of ukrainians on the patriot system is also running simultaneously. therefore, it only makes sense that for the time being this deployment in poland will be limited to 6 months. and then we will have to see how it will continue in the future on phone. but in ukraine, the need is for tanks. specifically, the german manufactured leopard to main battle tank. many analysts consider it to be the perfect weapon system for ukraine, which would give it a material advantage of a soviet era tanks which make up part of the russian forces. the leopard too is in the arsenal of many e u countries and several of said they want to give some to the ukrainians, but can't without german permission. since they manufacture the tanks, they hold the re export rights. now poland says it is considering sending them to ukraine even with no german authorization. we will seek this approval from germany, but this is a secondary issue even if we don't get such an approval in the and we will give our thanks to looping and us with an, a small coalition of countries, even if germany isn't in that coalition for months leopard to issue has been growing an importance in germany, many politicians from within the coalition and without on now arguing in favor of releasing them, including the foreign minister who told french t v. on sunday. if asked, germany would not stand on the way until night the weapons systems germany is allowed to be deployed to ukraine have been predominantly defensive. but main battle

at that particular point of staying with us. now glen, the call is a former c, i a deputy national intelligence officer for trans national threats. he joins us from boston vos guys, welcome for the program. so put simply then what you make of this controversy. well, i controversy. it's a problem for the counterintelligence authorities of the us, the f b i j a and so on. and it appears to be a classic targeting success by the washington service. one of the top priorities that are foreign, that in the telephone service has, is to penetrate the other services sections that work against them. counterintelligence is what mcgonigal did against the russians. and so for the russians to succeed in manipulating completely recruiting someone in that position is a major, major success for the russians espionage prosecutions. by the very nature of evidence, a quite difficult to prove that day. but it is, it's a, an endless problem for the law enforcement authorities in the department of justice and united states. it's very hard to prove that treason and espionage, and even when the law enforcement agencies think we can prove this in court, often they decide that it's wiser not to do so because to do so. of course, you have to, you reveal evidence and doing that shows what you, the counterintelligence agencies, united states in this instance know about the russians targeting successes. there are gaps there, methodology, many things that you don't really want other intelligent services to know. so it's a delicate, it's your point, whether to prosecute or not, and very hard to succeed, getting a conviction and giving what you say would there be concern that it could result in other or could result in some agents or assets as they call them, becoming exposed as a result of this was very possible, we don't know at all as far as i'm aware, the how the f b i came to know that one of their own was spying for the russians. really. and that could be true. aberrations in his personal behavior in his spending patterns could come from a human asset. the united states has some place. it could come from following other individuals who of interest to them lead the f b i to mcgonigal himself. you always are looking for anomalies in behavior and patterns and then pursuing to pursue them. and we don't know how that is where it could reveal the evidence, if it were shared, would reveal some of that which no intelligence service would let others know. and in a wider fence, how damaging could this be for the eyes? reputation? oh, well, for the reputation, it's certainly a black mark. but in the world of less than that, this is what intelligent services do. this is a major success for the russians and their failure for the united states. there's no question about bad sins, but this is what the states do and what every intelligence service seeks to do and to stop the impact. we don't know either, but i am aware as all my colleagues are of any number of cases broadly similar to this which led to the deaths of numerous people helping the united states. so it's a grave matter. okay, we leave it that then carla very much appreciate your time. thank you for

are saying the same thing to say they grew too quickly during the pandemic. they were lowered by a false sense of strength in the economy. and now with potential recession, particularly in the us, but also elsewhere in the world that our prospects aren't as strong as they thought they were going to be. so we have the same message from daniel, lactic today, from spotify, as we did from send our p shy from google, as we do from fasting adela from microsoft, south penmark sandburg and all of the rest. every single one of them is saying we grew too quickly. we hard too many people. we can't

population decline, the number of bus going down every year, more than a decade from minnesota from year cuz she says the country must act now to address the crisis. his government has promised to introduce more child friendly policies in an effort to reverse low birth rates. japan as the oldest population in the world, with 30 percent of people over the age of 65 wario. the seto is a journal that japan forward. she says, while the country is not alone and having a falling population, it is facing unique challenges. what is particular about? japan is the proportion of the population that is over $65.00 and therefore is putting a financial stress on the budget for just also on a country that has to sustain what is now becoming an increasing part of the population that will not be working. and it will not be contributing to the productive workforce. you know, there's a lot of repercussions for society, the cost of it, the economy has to reshape itself due to the demographic shift like there's going to be a lot of things that need to change. and hence, not function as the prime minister said. he spent a very long time talking about young families and breaks for those who do decide to have children. and this includes like several demographics families, but also for example mothers. and i think actually this is not just to deal with the declining birth rate, which is obviously the important thing in the agenda. but it's also a little bit learning from the pandemic because these also some of the demographics and stuff at the most during the economic upheaval that happened during covey. 19, but quite apart from that, he also specifically mentioned, for example, financial breaks for those who have kids in schools or you know, for education purposes and so on. so there's several things that i think will be addressed in this. essentially, it is financial breaks, though to make it easier to raise children. italy is celebrating the return of the 60 artifacts that
