Congratulations on achieving GOLD attendance.
As we have been hearing, Chancellor Olaf Scholz is facing mounting pressure to authorise exports of German-made Leopard tanks.
And there are even divisions on the issue within the German government.
Speaking to the BBC earlier, Alexander Muller, a German MP from the liberal FDP party - which is part of the country's coalition government - said he was confident that the delivery of tanks to Kyiv will be authorised by Berlin.
"I hope so," he said. "Greens and Liberals are a long time in favour of sending main battle tanks."
"Our Social Democrats have a lot of pacifistic people within them and they have a great historical Russian-friendliness within them, but they see the pictures of the war and a lot of them change their minds."
"He [Scholz] always said we [Germany] want... to act in common with our partners, and he cannot be the single guy that blocks everything."

South Bank Taekwondo was named after the university the lead instructor Master Richard Lymer (6th Dan) attended back in 1999. He first taught and created the club whilst studying for his BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science at South Bank University. He has more than 20 years experience of teaching and is a qualified kyorugi and poomsae judge.
South Bank Taekwondo is a London club practising the Korean Martial Art of Taekwondo, including WT Olympic and traditional Kukkiwon Taekwondo. We utilise training and protective equipment to allow full-contact sparring. You will receive WT / Kukkiwon qualified black-belt instruction at this friendly London club.

Later the school began to teach what came to be known as Taekwondo. In turn, TCGB is a group member of British Taekwondo – the National Governing Body for Taekwondo in Great Britain with regular competitions, gradings and seminars. We have been operating in London since 1999.
