turn organizations that are here are struggling to be able to respond because we do not have enough really supplies to be able to meet these needs. these situations, these places are not set up to receive large numbers of people. and each and every day, more or more people arrive. steve arrived from the international red cross. let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. the us state of maine has barred former president donald trump from taking part in the states upcoming primary elections. lawmakers called for trump to be disqualified over his role in the attack on the u. s. capital in 2021. trump is expected to appeal to really a russian court has sentenced duration to 7 years in prison. for resizing a pool against the war and ukraine argue i'm come. martin was arrested during an anti mobilization protest in september last year. and has since accused police officers of torturing him in detention. the danube river has overflowed its banks

and the hung gary and castle, but it passed, reaching its highest level in 10 years. ducks and roadways have been flooded some business days along the river were shot on street cars cancelled down you've is expected to return to normal levels by the weekend. and the u. s. military secretive robot space plane has launched from cape canaveral in florida on its 7th mission. for the 1st time, the space plane has been launch to top a space maxwell kit, which completes it into a higher orbit. depends gordon has reviewed very few details about dimensional booster separation. we confirmed that of sticking with the u. s. the government has approved what could be its final package of military aid to ukraine. the deal is worth up to $250000000.00. president joe biden has made supporting ukraine against russia, a key priority, but republicans in congress have insisted they want authorize any more funding unless democrats agree to stricter measures to limit migration. thank you. to our

correspondence, sonya fall in the car and keith told dw more about what could be the last us a package for you. great. what it is pretty significant has has been welcome to preston's uminski. uh to this uh, you know, welcome to this and said it would be ukraine's most pressing military needs. now we've already heard of a shortage of minute munition affecting ukraine's upfront line operations with, you know, ultimately cruise a saying they don't need to ration shows. there's also another component in this package, which is all about a defense of munitions, which is also very significant. just this week we saw rochelle launch renewed, but roger of drone attacks on cities like what they saw and headphone and causing, you know, kind of a, that's an damage to infrastructure. and so ukraine, of course, you know, kind of intercepting the actual things on these drones before they hit the targets means a goes through these, a defense munitions quite false. but of course, that is confirmed you about wavering west, on a ukrainian officials of said the plan to ramp up domestic production of weapons

next, steel that would into long range strike cones, which a queen has been using to strike fall behind enemy lines. for example, your target russian warships in the black sea, it was dw sonya saw on his heart and keep the war has led nato to reevaluate security, especially on his eastern flank with russia. germany's reason tonight is spent of a permanent trip deployment. there is just one change, dw star shows reports. when the russians were a new crane made, made them take another look at moscow and in the mirror, resulting in the biggest reconfiguration of the alliance. since the soviet union crumbled. more than 30 years ago. the new plans were approved, nato is building a summit in july, we took major decisions set to adapt all reliance for the future. we agreed the naples, most of the details under bus, the defense band, since the cold war, defense plans that look like those from the cold war,

dividing alliance territory into regional commands, outlining extraordinary operational detail in thousands of highly classified pages . it's kind of how many ships do you need here? how many soldiers do you need there? then of course you take it down below that, and then you get into the real nitty gritty of how you would move the ship to right . and how you would move the soldiers around how you would we supply in great detail, all sorts of things that you would expect to have in place where they have a need. were they ever need it? just the plans and vision, 300000 troops, could move to nato's border with russia. within 30 days. one big change may seem painfully obvious, but wasn't automatic. identifying russia by name, as the alliance is main adversary, any opportunity to not consider russia as an enemy is being lost. but what we've seen in ukraine in the very fact that we've written it quite clean, you know, clearly, and it's being a, it's being used in our documentation. this political shift is huge for the alliance

. finally, allowing open strategizing about how to beat it's most likely. opponent says military analyst alexander muscle are there is a much um hi or degree of detail that is available for a military planners up to, to, to work with in terms of exercising in terms of planning and, and thinking through the campaign design. despite the political differences among allied governments that come out and other places here at nato is military headquarters in mullins, belgium. admiral blount says everyone's on the same page, but will that change now that they've got $4000.00 new pages of plans to implement? each like will be required to provide specific capabilities, equipments troops, and to keep them at a high degree of readiness. this will be expensive and some governments aren't yet even close to spending the 2 percent of g d. p on defense. it's now a minimum expectation. still admiral blount and says,

do you none of us approval of the plans, demonstrates unwavering unity within nato. and we haven't seen anything about that seem to view claim as being illegally invited by russia. professor model are says, it's important that the agreement has been formalized and writing on paper. you, you have, that's that consensus there, that, that nato machinery can, can build upon. even if in practice he notes, there's still a handful of allies less than fully committed to their new responsibilities. not hitler says rushes actions are a constant reminder of the risk of not doing so. well. our correspondent terry schultz, who just filed that report, told us that nato is actually looking for the past re shapes its defenses or for infection they nato's, for we're looking plans, actually look more like the way the alliance. it positioned itself during the cold war. in the sense that you needed more equipments and more troops, pre positioned along the front line, closer to the russian border. and that's what they're going to do. now. they're

really going to put a spotlight on what research sources they have and where and how quickly they could move if needed. if russia actually posed more of a physical threat to nato territory, that means every country is going to have to literally say, how many ships it has, how many tanks it has, how many troops it has, how quickly can they move? and that's going to make nato a lot more practically able to move, should it, should it have to. and now, for course, in hopes that this is a deterrent effect. and then it doesn't actually have to go to work with russia. but as i mentioned in my report, for the 1st time there, naming russia as the most likely threat to nato territory. and they're also getting ready for just how russia, wages war. not parts of northern and central europe are on alert for more flooding, following heavy rains rivers. and 1st, there banks and many areas, flooding homes and prompting evacuations for cost as $1.00 the worst could be still yet to come with water, low levels in the elbow river,

nearly sorry. are nearly 6 meters above normal and still rising. europe got stuck with a rainy christmas and the unwanted gifts are piling up. the low lying netherlands have planned for events like this and prepared accordingly. lots young. this is really to see. lots has been invested in recent years to make reading for the river . and yes, it is that high go, but it can still be okay. conversely, is what's and what's the way the flooding, let the villages cut off by water students returning home for christmas reach their homes by boat flooding and central germany caused christmas evacuations. some residents were forced to leave their homes. the worst is still expected near the eastern city of dresden. authorities have declared the 2nd highest alert level on the river. elbow. waters are set to peak 6 meters above normal.

upstream in the czech republic, high waters on the elbows, stuck his boat under a bridge. the law offices of all, as always secure with the boats, with the steel cables. so that if there was a release, it would cause have it somewhere further down the bad. further south in hungary, the danube river has overflowed its banks and the capital, budapest, reaching its highest level in 10 years. docks and roadways have been flooded as conditions normally associated with springtime. hit early. the reason i remember big floods but not in december and december, the dining of use to freeze. i remember when i was very young, the ice around the chain bridge had to be broken off with the explosive soul. but then the kid i figured out the danube is expected to return to normal levels by the weekend. of more rain is forecasts for parts of northern europe, including germany and the coming days. and that is all for me for nice and more
