During a press conference in Berlin, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius says that Germany is planning a new military service model as the country looks to revamp its depleted armed forces in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "We need around 200,000 more reservists" he explains, citing estimates by the Bundeswehr and NATO. Under the plans, young men will be required to register for potential military service, though it will remain essentially voluntary, according to government sources. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
