22:41Now PlayingGerman Chancellor Olaf Scholz will be facing questions from lawmakers on why he's refusing to send Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
He's so far blocked moves to send the long-range weapons to Kyiv. He's worried they could be used to hit targets in Russia – and that German soldiers would need to be involved. But Scholz is under pressure from his coalition and international partners. One option on the table to bypass his reservations is a proposed cruise missile swap with the United Kingdom. This would see Germany give its Taurus missiles to the UK – the UK would then, in turn, send Ukraine more of its own Storm Shadow missiles. Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has said she is open to that idea.
For more on this, we talk to our chief political editor Michaela Küfner.
