BBC World Service - Weekend, German weapons can be used against Russian territory - MP says

Nils Schmid said this position aligns with that of all the other Nato allies.

Nils Schmid, who is also the governing SPD's foreign affairs spokesman, said this position aligns with that of all the other Nato allies. He also told the programme that he wasn't aware of any caveats to the policy. This is in contrast to the US. who gave Ukraine permission to use American-supplied weapons to strike targets in Russia, but only near the Kharkiv region.

Also today: a woman who was told she would not live past the age of 16 due to cystic fibrosis has set a world record for running 36 marathons in 36 days; and we hear from Nigerian novelist Chigozie Obiama who has been twice nominated for the Booker Prize.

Today’s guests are Michael Peel, science editor of the Financial Times, and Julie Norman, associate professor of politics and international relations at University College London.
