so i think nater hasn't never been but well protected and bad secure after today's decisions. and that applies to every member country of nature, a building for a stone, but it's still is it not the u. s. that's doing the heavy lifting. it's the u. s. that made the most commitments again. and interestingly, the vast majority of the u. s. forces are focused in poland, they got many more forces in poland, protecting poland than you have. i think the u. k. is the lead nation in your country, protecting estonia. do you think the distribution of the forces is fair? i think the distribution of forces will be for sure, because that's precisely about the whole point. but with the job integrated planning, we do the boxes and then of course it's for military defense for people to, to defy which country which skills, which kind of equipment fill certain books as. and as i said, i mean, we are going to, to work together with u. k on a divisional law structure to have a command structure in place. so that we will be capable in having that defense capability from minute one to defend every

other. russia accused nato of acting with imperial ambitions and using ukraine to assert its power. nater says it's facing him more dangerous and competitive weld as it presented his strategy or the summit . the alliance promised more troops in europe and declared an unshakable, long term commitment to ukraine. as part of that president joe biden announced a permanent u. s. army base in poland and additional land and sea deployments across europe. the u. s. will also send 2 more f 35 fighter jets squadrons to the u. k. sweden and finland were invited to join nato during the summit, marking historic shift in european security and nater sad. it continues to view its nuclear arsenal as a deterrent only while rear to rating its commitment to the non proliferation treaty. for the 1st time, nato leaders vice concern about the threat they see china posing in the future. so i and i is so substantially building up its military forces including nuclear weapons, bullying its neighbors and threatening tie bomb investing heavily in critical infrastructure, including in allied countries, monitoring and

and why does the memory of belinda us to divide people ah ah, ah nater calls russia his most significant and direct threat of the block invite sweden and finland to become member state for further expansion of the alliance is present for russia's borders. plus, ah, a call for justice over an alleged cover up of the real number of victims and a mass killing of migrants. the, you know, just a probing to the death of at least 23 africans at the hands of moroccan security forces. after a crown tried to storm the border into a spanish city up to 3 years in prison for jer.

he said, but we need to cleanse ukraine of the nazis and all that we need then you deal with nater is not getting back. so again, i don't quite understand what his and gay yet president biden's words in warsaw the weekend, supposedly off the cuff to the fact that putin can't remain in power. how do you think that will have been understood by the various factions inside the system? back in russia, those who may be thinking, but also putins time should be coming to an end while that is wants strike can difference from what we see now from what we so our and falls into full g. and when we saw on next and the station of me back then as a russian broker say, there was an army as a russian security is the all on the same page. they all support future. they believe that there was a right think that everybody got excited and unfortunately a lot of population also believe, but it was the right thing to do. now is a big shift. so people might still believe that something should be done with the ukraine, but they think that the way it was done was not very good one and they blame one guy was in

coming up this week, there was a little i instead a polar across nater, citizens and they stood support strong support for the increase in, in, in, in defense spending as well as in being nato members. chris, him, what indians shomberg say about the alliance's commitment to ukraine. what we know for sure that at this summit ad there is going to be a renewed sort of a commitment to ukraine in the form of a new special assistance package. i. it has 2 components, assistance in the short term assistance in the long term. in the short term, it's equipment. for example, anti drone equipment are in the longer term. it is the, the, the commitment by nature to help ukraine ad transition from the sort of soviet era style equipment to more modern nato standard equipment. so that match and more that we can expect along those lines at the summit or on christine, thank you very much. for that cra, same one word for us in brussels. south african authorities are investigating the mysterious deaths of 21 young people. the teenagers were celebrating the end of school exams at a bar in the southern town o

now all of these changes, some of them unprecedented coming as nater redefines itself and the security risks of the 21st century. we have more now in this report. sweden's prime minister, magdalena anderson, arriving at the nato summit. if all goes to plan a country along with finland, should soon put aside decades of neutrality to become members of the military alliance. and this is the man making it possible. after weeks of wrangling turkey's president reject tight, edwin has dropped his opposition to them joining, giving current members something to smile about at the summit. all the full lines gonna welcome finland and sweet historic application for membership and their decision to move away. busy from neutrality and of traditional neutrality to join, no life is going to make us stronger and more secure, and nato stronger. the summit comes against the background of russia's war in ukraine, which is forced nato to rethink its mission. we face a radical change or to our security environments on strategic competition is rising around the world so that they leaders have endorsed naples

all of this of course, is nater saying that we are responding to an increasingly dangerous world. and what about new expansion? we norgard sweden and finland want to join nude or we also know that remember turkey standing in the way of their going there? was there any hope of movement on that fraud this summer in the drew there. so they are going to be movement. are brent in the way of a meeting? are we know that are the sweetest prime minister, the finished president and a turkeys president? i are going to be meeting i add to this summit, nato secretary general at sort of well dampened hopes that there would be some kind of a breakthrough at this particular summit. a very different june 2 year. the swedish prime minister magdalena anderson, who spoke at a press conference, her alongside the nato secretary general. she was expressing more optimism, add that the issue with turkey would be resolved it. it essentially comes down to turkey's accusations, or that the baltic states are sort of supporting or that terrorists or groups that turkey has designated as a terrorist, sir, for hi

all this discourse that actually nater is guilty or ukrainians are guilty, or even public messages. or we have to to learn ukrainian lesson which normally means otherwise put in is going to invade us. also. across the denisa trans mysteries hauled line lead by them crushed wholesale ski was also quick to condemn . sanders in you hopes she mal davids were surprised. indeed, they pointed to to rascal trans mystery of soviet era capitol with its legions of lenin statues. as a grim example of what they would like to avoid. many trans mysteries though, seem happier to imagine life under russian rule. since 2002 more than 200000 of them have taken out russian citizenship that are so limited and looked at and look and find this idea that we're on a close to neighbors, republican, moldova, like crane and the on this to rhetoric. there are there russians citizen, and they can use these dr. or introduce smith, that it will pull this data thought. many mill davis believe that this attempt to build a narrative around safeguarding russian citizens is merely to establish a pretext for eventual ag

the real danger involved in allowing president putin to paint this conflict as one between russia and nater. thank you so much, donna hall reporting from madrid. well before some of those leaders arrived in madrid, they were at a summit of 7 of the world's riches democracies. in germany. leaders there pledged 4 and a half $1000000000.00 to fight global hunger. that's the conflict, pushes up food prices, adding to the economic impact of the pandemic stuff. austin reports from germany. it was a summit of throng language, amid scenic views lead us up to 7 highest income country, stressed how united they are in the condemnation of russia's war in ukraine. missile attacks on keys and the crowd is supermarket and common joke taking place during the summit. only increase their anger, we have addon fighter, we will continue to hold up and drive up the economy and political cost of this war for president putin and his regime to that. and it's important to stand together also during the long haul, and that will surely be at stake here long interest. and we will also resolutely counter the russian nar

it's overhauled this key policy document for the 1st time in 12 years. nater saying is the most that russia is the most serious security threat right now to be alliance. also naming china saying that to china proposes a systemic challenge for the alliance. and now china has responded to that, alexandra saying that the accusing the alliance of maliciously attacking and smearing the country. and it said, it says quote that nato claims other countries pose challenges, but it is nato that is creating problems around the world. is nato taking this on board? because there has been some criticism of nato, not just from china, but from other countries as well. yes, but according to nato, it is important for these alliance, which is at a fans alliance to be ready to address the current threats and challenges. and that is why, from their perspective, that is important to update their strategic concept. the last one was approved in 2010. and since then of course, we understand that the whole security assessment and the security situation they euro atlantic area has massively change with the war

clear over the last few months and i think sense, i think that it's been the change of emphasis for nater. it's been crucial in sort of redrafting sort of their own for the institution itself. i think the russians are well aware and have been talking about this, having to say that nate is focused on rushes. a threat for the last few years in a says, actually, domestically from put his point to be it, this is kind of paying it to his hand, because now he can turn to the russian public and say, look, we always told you that nature was us. he said imperialistic, that they will, it's against russia. no one believed us, but now they've actually, you know, written it sort of into the agreements. and so i think, you know, we have to see how he's also plays out into for different audience. it's yeah, i mean, and it remains to be seen if time is on the russian side, or if it's on the west side, we will see dr. alliance net cove of university college london. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank. thank you. thank you. russia says that it has withdrawn its forces from u

all of course, leading to the much larger nater summit, which begins on tuesday in madrid. and he dealt with the issues in general themes, the threat of china and russia, cyberspace. and of course, the war in ukraine. let's bring in our diplomatic editor james bays, who's been listening to that. obviously, all of these summit she got the g 7. where you are, james, you're going to be heading to madrid to listen to what a insult and berg, another nato members have to say about the current situation, not just globally, but obviously focused with ukraine. he talked about the east and flank in ukraine. he talked about the funding of nations, so that could pre position armaments and weapons in relation to strategic threats. yeah, it's something that will be discussed a great deal in madrid that some it was discussed here as well. to be honest, because if you look at the g 7 most, a nato members, the only one that isn't, of course, because it's in the different part of the world is in japan. but japan is actually coming as a guest to the nato summit, i think, showing the increased

the lines of trying to assert its supremacy and worn that moscow will respond to any nater deployments in sweden and finland fresh look of it's a she'll see even fluid will not need. there's nothing that might concern us in terms of finland and sweden becoming night. i, members, if they want to, please go ahead, but they should clearly understand that they didn't face any threats before this. now, if nato troops and infrastructure are deployed, we will be compelled to respond and kind and create the same threats to the territory. that is now creating threats for us. it's obvious what they don't understand that everything was going fine between us away and but now there will be tensions. this is obvious and inevitable. the i repeat, if they pose a threat to us or growth, no rush, an attack on a residential building in southern ukraine has killed at least 4 people. this video released by civil defense all authority shows the aftermath of the shelling in the city of mich alive. search teams had to use power tools and ladders. to rescue people trapped inside the building. and rescue worker

we heard from nater leases, arriving this morning, saying nato. he's back rather echoed president biden statement last year that the united states is back. is there an elephant in the room here? a fear perhaps? what if in 2 years time, donald trump is back in the conversations that we've been having with european leaders? of course there is some concern about the upcoming mid term elections in the united states in our congress and about the future presidential elections. that is partly why there is a sense of urgency about providing the assistance the ukrainians are asking for and they need in order to change the balance on the battlefield. so as a democrat, as a supporter of president biden, i'm optimistic about our mid term elections. i'm confident about the 2024 presidential elections. but of course that is a concern in the background for everyone. most of the people in the gone a capital a crawl, have gathered for a 2nd day of protest against corruption. and the stuck dating economy demonstrates the angry about rising taxes, fuel prices, and a
