{an2}The nightly news with Barbara Hahlweg. {an2}Good evening and welcome to this overview of Saturday’s news. {an2}Rudi Cerne will have sport for you a bit later. -Hello and good evening. {an2}The chancellor calls it “a very serious matter”. {an2}Intercepted: Russia is said to have recorded a conversation among German military officers {an2}about Taurus cruise missiles.

{an2}Support from the air: The USA drops aid supplies over Gaza. {an2}And a shower of medals for the women’s bobsleigh team: {an2}World Championship gold, silver, and bronze went to the Germans. {an2}Three hours ago, Germany’s ministry of defence confirmed: {an2}An air force conversation was intercepted. {an2}Yesterday evening, Russia published a recording

{an2}of a candid, online discussion among German officers {an2}about how German Taurus cruise missiles could be used in Ukraine. {an2}There are a lot of questions, such as how Russia obtained the recording. {an2}Nicole Diekmann reports. {an2}A line in the sand for Germany… {an2}High-ranking air force officers in a confidential conversation.

{an2}40 minutes of dialogue not intended for the public, but somehow revealed {an2}via Russia’s state broadcaster “RT” of all places. {an2}It’s caused such an uproar that the chancellor called in from Rome {an2}after his private meeting with the pope. {an2}What is being reported here is a very serious matter.

{an2}Therefore it’s being investigated very carefully, very intensively, {an2}and very quickly. That’s necessary. {an2}The ministry of defence confirmed the incident {an2}and has launched an investigation. {an2}Is Russia now systematically spying? {an2}In Berlin, there’s a lot of concern about Germany’s cyber security. {an2}This is an extremely serious matter.

{an2}And we must now clarify as quickly as possible {an2}whether this is an isolated incident {an2}or a structural security problem in the German government’s communications. {an2}The debate about sending Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine {an2}is still gathering steam. {an2}Chancellor Scholz is against it, because German soldiers would have to be sent with them.

{an2}But the military doesn’t seem to view it that rigidly. {an2}The FDP is turning up the heat on the chancellor. {an2}He’s had quite a learning curve this week. {an2}I hope that the chancellor’s office will draw the right conclusions. {an2}The CDU is more pointed.

{an2}The federal government has got to get up to speed with communications technology, {an2}because this is certainly only the tip of the iceberg. {an2}We also need to clarify {an2}why our nation’s chancellor is making false claims in public, {an2}when he says that the German military needs to be involved on site.

{an2}Berlin, one day after the leak. {an2}The concern is huge and the ramifications still unknown. {an2}Let’s check in with our correspondents from Moscow and Berlin. {an2}First, Diana Zimmermann. Why is this such a sensitive subject? {an2}The Russians have obtained a conversation {an2}among high-ranking German officers. {an2}This is of course a massive security breach

{an2}and raises the question, “What else do they know?” {an2}The chancellor has promised to clarify the situation. {an2}He says the situation is very serious. {an2}You could even say it is potentially dangerous. {an2}It’s certainly very embarrassing. {an2}Air force inspector Gerhartz, who was involved in the conversation, {an2}is now under massive pressure.

{an2}He could lose his job. {an2}That would be a massive loss for the ministry of defence. {an2}It’s said the chancellor doesn’t want to supply Ukraine with Taurus missiles, {an2}because that could indirectly involve Germany in the war. {an2}Does the officers’ conversation contradict that? {an2}That’s what the opposition says. At first glance that seems true.

{an2}In this very long conversation, the officers come to the conclusion {an2}that it would be possible {an2}to train Ukrainians on these cruise missiles. {an2}But during this lengthy conversation, {an2}the four men come up with some pretty creative ideas {an2}as to how these cruise missiles {an2}could be secretly programmed by Germans.

{an2}It becomes clear that they think {an2}that this would be the technically superior option. {an2}They assume that Ukraine doesn’t have the necessary missions planning data. {an2}The chancellor seems to be confirming this, {an2}along with the statement made that the Taurus is not the deciding factor. {an2}Still, the four men also say

{an2}that the chancellor doesn’t have the political will {an2}to support Ukraine with this weapon. {an2}Thank you, Diana, let’s move on to Armin Coerper. {an2}Whose interest is Moscow serving by publishing this? {an2}I think there are two interests. {an2}Firstly, the Kremlin is trying to put pressure on Chancellor Scholz

{an2}to stick to his “no” on the Taurus. {an2}If he changes his mind now and delivers it after all, {an2}after the officers have discussed it behind his back and without his knowledge, {an2}that would look very, very weak from Russia’s point of view. {an2}The other point is the timing.

{an2}The recording was published by Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of “Russia Today”. {an2}She’s Vladimir Putin’s chief propagandist. {an2}She’s not doing this when she wants to, when it occurs to her, {an2}but rather when she is told to. {an2}So a message is getting sent out {an2}exactly two weeks before the presidential election. {an2}It says that the Germans

{an2}are threatening to send soldiers to Ukraine. {an2}They would be helping operate weapons {an2}that could hit the Crimean bridge and even Moscow. {an2}This evokes the collective memory of World War II. {an2}And who could possibly protect the people from that? {an2}Only Vladimir Putin, of course. {an2}Thank you for this information from Berlin and Moscow.

{an2}That was Armin Coerper and Diana Zimmermann. {an2}One day after the funeral of Kremlin critic Navalny, {an2}people are still flocking to the cemetery {an2}to say their goodbyes in person. {an2}At least 128 people in 20 cities {an2}were said to have been arrested during yesterday’s funeral services.

{an2}Among the mourners who laid flowers at the grave today {an2}were once again Navalny’s mother and mother-in-law. {an2}Eyewitnesses described the situation as calm. {an2}The police apparently let the mourners through unhindered. {an2}The fate of the people in the Gaza Strip is upsetting. {an2}The EU is now calling for an independent international investigation

{an2}into yesterday’s incident involving an aid convoy. {an2}More than 100 people were killed. {an2}The US government today {an2}began airdropping aid over Gaza. {an2}However, this is difficult when people are crammed into such a small space {an2}and the social order has broken down as a result of the war. {an2}Elmar Thevessen has more.

{an2}These are probably the first images of US aircraft {an2}on their way to deliver aid from the air, {an2}at the US president’s request. {an2}Together with our friends, we will drop aid packages {an2}with food and other things. {an2}At Friday’s meeting with the Italian Prime Minister Meloni, {an2}Biden was visibly angry

{an2}about the terrible events during the delivery of aid by truck. {an2}More than 100 people were killed and many more injured. {an2}The US is now examining all available video footage {an2}to determine the extent to which Israeli soldiers were responsible {an2}since they opened fire.

{an2}Innocent people are just trying to feed their families in this war. {an2}And you’ve seen what is happening. {an2}We must do more, and we will do more. {an2}Jordan, France, and the Arab Emirates {an2}are already dropping parcels. {an2}But the aid often doesn’t reach those who need it most. {an2}Israel’s actions are angering the US government.

{an2}The latest incidents could impede the ceasefire and hostage release {an2}that was just recently negotiated. {an2}We are not there yet. {an2}We’re getting there, but maybe not just yet. {an2}Aid deliveries are getting underway, and Washington is hoping {an2}that both Israel and Hamas will agree to the ceasefire. {an2}Let’s check in with Elmar Thevessen in Washington.

{an2}We’re hearing from the USA that Israel has agreed to a ceasefire {an2}if the hostages are released. {an2}Can you tell us about that? {an2}A high-ranking government official here in Washington {an2}has apparently confirmed to several US media outlets {an2}that the framework conditions for a deal have been agreed on

{an2}and that Israel has also agreed in principle. {an2}It would be a six-week ceasefire, {an2}which could possibly turn into a longer ceasefire. {an2}The main prerequisite for this is that Hamas has to agree {an2}to give Israel a list of all surviving hostages {an2}and then to release those hostages. {an2}Other conditions have apparently also been discussed.

{an2}The question is how many Palestinians will be released from prisons in Israel. {an2}There should be another round of negotiations this Sunday {an2}in Cairo, Egypt, {an2}but without Israel’s taking part because it’s Hamas’ turn now. {an2}US Vice President Harris will meet with Israel’s Benny Gantz {an2}at the White House on Monday.

{an2}He’s a member of Israel’s war cabinet. {an2}They’ll discuss the next steps. {an2}Thank you, Elmar Thevessen in Washington. {an2}The Houthis have been attacking merchant ships in the Red Sea {an2}since the beginning of the war in Gaza. {an2}Now a cargo ship has sunk there, {an2}after an attack about two weeks ago.

{an2}The badly damaged Rubymar sank in stormy seas during the night, {an2}according to Yemen’s internationally recognized government in Aden. {an2}It had 41,000 tonnes of fertilizer on board, according to the US military. {an2}An oil slick had already formed beforehand. {an2}German Health Minister Lauterbach says Germany’s healthcare system {an2}needs to be better prepared for war.

{an2}Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, {an2}some changes need to be made. {an2}Lauterbach told the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” newspaper {an2}that in the event of an alliance conflict, {an2}Germany could become a hub for caring for the wounded from other countries.

{an2}At least eight people have been killed in new Russian drone attacks on Ukraine. {an2}Seven people were killed in Odesa alone, in the south of the country. {an2}One of those was a three-year-old child. {an2}A drone hit a multi-storey house during the night {an2}destroying a total of 18 flats.

{an2}There were further Russian attacks further east in Kherson, {an2}and in Kharkiv in northern Ukraine. {an2}We heard already that Germany’s federal chancellor is in Rome. {an2}He had a 35 minute private audience with the pope, meeting there with him for the first time. {an2}Scholz also spoke at the meeting of the European Social Democrats.

{an2}They chose their lead candidates for the European elections on 8 June. {an2}The only candidate was Luxembourg’s Nicolas Schmit. {an2}He’s the European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights. {an2}Isabelle Schaefers introduces the 70-year-old. {an2}This man has never had this much Europe-wide attention. {an2}Nicolas Schmit was chosen today {an2}as the European Social Democrats’ lead candidate.

{an2}No one in the party is contesting him. {an2}This is his platform: {an2}I will not give up on opportunities for our children and young people; {an2}I will not give up when it comes to fighting poverty; {an2}and I will not give up on protecting our planet.

{an2}The Luxembourger is currently EU Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights. {an2}The 70-year-old is now taking on his much better-known boss, {an2}European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. {an2}She’s expected to be the lead candidate for the conservative European People’s Party. {an2}Ursula von der Leyen was also unknown outside of Germany.

{an2}That’s just the way it is in Europe, {an2}that people are not immediately known everywhere. {an2}But we want to vote for the best person, not the best known. {an2}The European Social Democrats are currently in second place in the polls, {an2}well behind the Conservatives.

{an2}EU-critical and right-wing populist parties are also on the rise in some countries. {an2}That’s why one concern in particular can be heard again and again. {an2}What they want is a nationalist Europe. {an2}What they are trying to undermine {an2}is that our nation states can only remain strong {an2}in a united Europe.

{an2}They still have three months left {an2}to convince European voters with their party platform. {an2}And their lead candidate. {an2}Demonstrations against right-wing extremism and for an open society {an2}took place in several cities again today. {an2}According to the Duisburg police, 15,000 people took to the streets there.

{an2}The German Confederation of Trade Unions had called for the demonstration {an2}under the motto, “Duisburg is really colourful”. {an2}Numerous associations and groups joined in. {an2}People also protested for an open society in smaller towns, {an2}such as Köthen in Saxony-Anhalt. {an2}The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees is to open a number of new positions

{an2}in order to speed up asylum procedures. {an2}Specifically, 1,160 additional posts are planned. {an2}Interior Minister Faeser announced that in the “Welt am Sonntag” newspaper. {an2}A ministry spokesperson spoke of full-time positions {an2}that are to be filled as quickly as possible. {an2}The ministry currently has around 8,000 positions.

{an2}Germany’s highly specialised factory farming has been criticized for years. {an2}Demands for better animal welfare are getting increasingly louder. {an2}Animal-friendly quarters, space to roam and bedding cost money. {an2}The German government wants to support farmers, {an2}starting with pig farmers. {an2}The funding program is just starting. {an2}Scarlett Sternberg has the details.

{an2}Livestock farmers should have an easier time. {an2}Those who opt for better husbandry, like farmer Martin Schulz, {an2}will receive financial support. {an2}With “housing system four”, his pigs have 1.5 square metres of space per animal, {an2}access to an outdoor enclosure, and straw for digging in.

{an2}We need around twice as much working time as a conventional barn {an2}and these additional costs have to be compensated for. {an2}There are also biological issues that come into play. {an2}The animals can move around more, {an2}so they need more feed to cover their daily energy requirements. {an2}More feed, more space, more electricity…

{an2}The additional running costs are a problem for many farmers. {an2}The number of pigs fell nearly 50 per cent between 2010 and 2020. {an2}At the same time there’s been a dramatic concentration of the market. {an2}This program gives small, traditional farms in particular {an2}a better chance on the market.

{an2}More advanced types of farming receive this money. {an2}Experts say the government is providing 250 million euros annually {an2}for the conversion of livestock farming, and that’s too little. {an2}Around 1.2 billion would be needed per year. {an2}From 2030, even around 2.4 billion. {an2}Another point of contention is the funding for the ongoing additional costs.

{an2}It is limited to seven years. {an2}It’s a challenge, of course. {an2}Anyone building a barn is going to spend millions of euros, {an2}usually borrowed from the bank as a loan. {an2}And they need investment security. {an2}Security that the government cannot yet offer in the long term.

{an2}The program is intended to be just a first step {an2}towards a more animal-friendly future. {an2}”Look, and be amazed.” {an2}That’s the promise of an exhibition at the Frieder Burda Museum in Baden-Baden. {an2}It shows how art has managed to amaze its viewers, {an2}even well before the advent of artificial intelligence, {an2}by illustrating the seemingly impossible.

{an2}Petra Otto had a look. {an2}Something like this can happen with art. {an2}A 1,609 metre tall skyscraper: {an2}that’s exactly one mile tall. {an2}Historically, building this tower would have been unthinkable. {an2}But it’s theoretically possible today. {an2}The “ImPOSSIBLE” exhibition in Baden-Baden {an2}is about the fusion of possible and impossible.

{an2}The imaginary and unattainable has always fascinated artists. {an2}M. C. Escher made water flow downhill and uphill simultaneously {an2}and there are unmistakeable Escher elements {an2}in this computer-animated work. {an2}Escher’s work is human architecture, {an2}so it’s something that’s built, so to speak. {an2}Here the course of the river appears more like a natural phenomenon,

{an2}which would be totally impossible in the real world. {an2}I love paradoxes, {an2}and this is the perfect exhibition to really indulge in them. {an2}Letting your imagination run wild. {an2}Playing with the power of magic. {an2}Just 60 years ago, this photomontage, “The Leap into the Void”, {an2}was revolutionary. {an2}We have completely different technical possibilities.

{an2}We work with new media. In the field of artificial intelligence, {an2}we work with similar, manipulative, means as in art. {an2}But art is used to do something good: to question reality. {an2}A surreal room made of plastic waste. {an2}The work of artist Daniel Knorr invites you

{an2}to become part of the exhibition yourself and turn your thinking upside down. {an2}One correction: I accidentally said earlier {an2}that the incident involving an aid convoy in the Gaza Strip happened yesterday. {an2}Of course it was the day before yesterday. I apologize for that. {an2}”The older, the better.”

{an2}This applies to few people as much as the dazzling Iris Apfel, {an2}US fashion icon and designer. {an2}She liked to describe herself as an “old fashion starlet”. {an2}She died yesterday at the age of 102. {an2}Apfel was known for her extravagant outfits and huge round glasses.

{an2}She was already over 80 when she made her breakthrough on the fashion scene. {an2}Before that, the native New Yorker worked as an interior designer {an2}and, together with her husband, {an2}advised nine US presidents on furnishing the White House. {an2}A quote from Iris Apfel. She said,

{an2}”I never think about my age. It’s just a number.” {an2}Now to you, Rudi. {an2}With sports. The German women achieved gold, silver and bronze {an2}in the two-man bobsleigh at the World Championships in Winterberg. {an2}Lisa Buckwitz and Vanessa Mark took the title ahead of Laura Nolte and Deborah Levi

{an2}and the defending champions Kim Kalicki and Leonie Fiebig. {an2}In the fourth and final run, the leading Lisa Buckwitz and Vanessa Mark {an2}were put under additional pressure by their German rivals {an2}with their respective track record runs. {an2}Buckwitz remained unruffled {an2}and finished 0.05 seconds faster than Laura Nolte.

{an2}In third place, Kim Kalicki completed the German medals sweep. {an2}In the men’s four-man bobsleigh, {an2}double Olympic champion Francesco Friedrich took the lead. {an2}He was followed by two other German bobsleighs {an2}with Johannes Lochner and Adam Ammour. {an2}German double success at the World Cup in Sigulda. {an2}Jessica Degenhardt and Cheyenne Rosenthal won the women’s doubles

{an2}ahead of Dajana Eitberger and Saskia Schirmer. {an2}In the men’s event, six-time Olympic champions Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt {an2}finished second in the season finale, {an2}missing out on overall World Cup victory. {an2}The former underdog biathlete Benedikt Doll has made an impressive comeback. {an2}One day after reaching a disappointing 74th place,

{an2}he achieved second place in the mass start at Holmenkollen. {an2}3rd place for the German ski jumpers in the team competition in Lahti. {an2}The DSV eagles Andreas Wellinger, Pius Paschke, Stephan Leyhe and Philipp Raimund {an2}flew to 3rd place for the second time in the second classic team event of the season.

{an2}The Norwegians celebrate victory ahead of Austria. {an2}The afternoon results of the German Bundesliga’s 24th matchday. {an2}Borussia Dortmund collected important points in the battle for the Champions League place. {an2}They won over Union Berlin by 2:0. {an2}RB Leipzig achieved a clear 4:1 win at VfL Bochum. {an2}Eintracht Frankfurt stopped their six-game downward trend

{an2}with a 2:1 win against Heidenheim. {an2}Mainz vs. Gladbach 1:1, {an2}Darmstadt experienced a debacle 0:6 against Augsburg. {an2}Yesterday’s Freiburg vs. Bayern Munich 2:2, {an2}An evening highlight will be Wolfsburg vs. VfB Stuttgart. {an2}That’s tonight on “das aktuelle sportstudio”. {an2}Leverkusen has a seven-point lead over Bayern {an2}but could still improve, as could Stuttgart.

{an2}Dortmund remain fourth, with Leipzig within touching distance. {an2}The second half begins with Augsburg. {an2}Wolfsburg, in 13th place, are even with their pursuers {an2}Union Berlin and VfL Bochum. {an2}Mainz and Darmstadt are in the direct relegation places,. {an2}You can see more on “das aktuelle sportstudio” {an2}at 10:30 PM in the ZDF mediathek

{an2}and at 11 PM on ZDF. {an2}Swimming world champion Angelina Köhler is tonight’s guest. {an2}Max Verstappen has won the year’s first Formula 1 race at the Grand Prix in Bahrain. {an2}The three-time world champion celebrated a commanding start-finish victory {an2}ahead of Red Bull teammates Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz piloting a Ferrari:

{an2}a dream city for the defending champion. {an2}Lots of winter sports tomorrow at 10:15 AM, just so you know. {an2}Thank you, Rudi! {an2}Most people will have plenty of sunshine tomorrow, Özden Terli has more in just a minute. {an2}Marietta Slomka is hosting the “heute journal” at 10:45 PM.

{an2}The whole team wishes you a nice weekend. See you tomorrow! {an2}WEATHER REPORT {an2}Good evening and welcome to the weather. {an2}Some pretty warm air is on the way {an2}ahead of this low that’s getting closer. {an2}It’s coming from the west towards the Alps and won’t reach us.

{an2}But here in the Alps there’s a lot of rain and snow {an2}due to the moisture and warmth. {an2}There will be plenty of sunshine here. {an2}Let’s look at tonight. {an2}There will be dense clouds and some rain in the west. {an2}Elsewhere, fog or high fog will form.

{an2}Temperatures will drop to zero degrees in the southeast {an2}and 8 degrees in the far west of Germany. {an2}Tomorrow we’ll see plenty of sunshine from Bavaria to the Lower Rhine. {an2}Some denser clouds in the east. {an2}There may also be high fog here, with a few drops. {an2}But overall it will remain dry.

{an2}Temperatures will reach up to 18 degrees in the southeast. {an2}That could even be higher here depending on the wind. {an2}18 degrees in the Rhine-Main area, 17 degrees on the Lower Rhine. {an2}But even in the east, it will still be 14 degrees. {an2}The next few days,

{an2}some rain on Monday, but still relatively pleasant at 8 to 15 degrees. {an2}From Tuesday on it will be much more mixed {an2}with rain, and some cooler weather. Have a nice evening.
