BBC World Service - Newshour, Germany gives green light for tanks for Ukraine

After weeks of building pressure, Germany has confirmed it will send tanks to Ukraine.

After weeks of building international pressure, Germany has confirmed it will send battle tanks to Ukraine.

The German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has confirmed that his government will provide Ukraine with some of its Leopard- Two battle tanks, and allow other countries to do likewise. Also on the programme, the Indian government attempts to crackdown on screenings of a documentary which examines Prime Minister Modi's time as Chief Minister of Gujarat. And, five months after North Korea declared "victory" over covid, there are reports that a five-day lockdown has been ordered in Pyongyang because of an unnamed "respiratory illness".
