the, the, you want to do the unit was coming to live from berlin, bolstering the north atlantic alliance, how sweden's military capabilities and know how will strengthen nato, now that it is officially become a member. also coming up on our show today we go inside the training and hospital dumped the survival factory by doctors helping to save the lives of injured frontline soldiers. palestinians begin the muslim holy month of ramadan. amid a dire humanitarian crisis, where basic necessities are out of reach for many. and it was a night of a few surprises at this year's oscars. christopher, no, not. oppenheimer sweets, most of the major prizes at the academy awards,

including best picture and best director with kelly and murphy, also picking up the gong for best doctor the i'm quite richardson. welcome. we started in brussels, where sweden's flag is being raised later outside nato's headquarters, after and officially joined, has to be 30 seconds member of the transatlantic military alliance, sweden's, a session and decades of post world war 2 neutrality. as concerns about russian aggression in europe continue to grow, follow nordic nation. finland joined in april 2023 with nato members cleaning the expansion to be a major blow to the kremlin. sweden becomes the seconds. no dick nation in the past year to join nato. and its membership brings with its

a number of advantages for the airlines. firstly, by following finland in abandoning neutrality, sweden descending an important message to those nations still on the fence about russia's invasion of ukraine. it's time to pick a side. so the reason is now leaving 200 years of neutrality, a non alignment behind. and it's a big steps to see. we must take that seriously of the war. but it's also a very natural step that we're taking the car. furthermore, the kremlin can no longer claim finland's a session was an isolated incidents has made. so seeks to develop defense plans for eastern members and at the tearing rushes advance suite and brings considerable experience in understanding health accounts. so that threats sweetens military capability also makes it a powerful new member. the nation boasts cutting edge

a croft and anti aircraft missiles as well as states of the tanks and submarines and a considerable fleet of ships wave embrace a 500 year old navy in the navy that is among the largest in the baltic sea, which you'd remember nathan doesn't have very many large, mavis sweden's geographical position also makes it useful. firstly, as a land transit roads to reinforce the members no way in finland. and secondly, by allowing nato to take control of the baltic sea in any conflicts with russia, via sweden's, enormous coastline. in return, sweden now has security guarantees from nato and member states, should it come under attack from russia, or anyone else in future? and the message from russia's opponents is clear both nights so i'm sweet and

a false stronger. as a result of this agreement camera for 8 seconds to w, brussels correspondent terry schultz is at nato headquarters ahead of the flag raising ceremony marketing sweden's a session. let's hear what we can expect while the pomp and circumstance is just being rehearsed in front of us. and now soon as we define minister of kristen and nato secretary general young souls and berg will come. they'll say some words to the press. they will add a swedish flag behind me now, where which, where you can see a space between turkey and spain. they are also practicing, raising the sweetest leg outside, integrating it with the 31 other allies. this is a lot of symbolism because as you mentioned, sweden is already a member technically. but this is still going to be a very emotional moment for sweden. it is really when you see your flag rising there you hear your national anthem that you really feel like you are now in your place here at nato. and so it's great news for sweden. what about for nato is sweet

and succession here. now a cause for anita victory? well, it's certainly there's a lot of release here. i've heard people expressing that here this morning as they're milling around everybody like shoot, we made it. but you know, the fact that it took sweden 2 years to get into the alliance. the fact that 2 allies held out until there were, you know, basically some transactions made in the end, it took the unit, the united states guarantee, guaranteeing jet fighters to turkey. and it took, took a new deal with hungry for, for groupings from suite in itself. those kinds of things sort of have brought up some ugly corners of how the alliance works. but in the end, as victor or bon agreed in the end, this means when they are altogether that unit is all for $1.00 and $1.00 for all in the end, they are ready to fight and die for each other, which is what? joining nato really requires of every country and jerry for looking at the potential of a russian military. right. what do sweden and finland bring to the table for nato?

these are definitely 2 of the best trained, best equipped militaries in nato. you know, sweden brings as, as you heard in that piece, just incredible military technology. it has a huge weapons manufacturing program in it, it on its own. and remember that these 2 countries had planned to stay on their own . and so they were ready to be self sufficient, and so now they're bringing all those capabilities to the alliance, and their geo political position cannot be overstated. you've now got the nordics lake sealed across the top right there in the arctic where russia keeps the crown jewels of its own weaponry and its own military. so this is certainly something that the kremlin is not going to be happy about. and we have heard the russian foreign ministry say that it's going to see how sweden behaves in practice and then decide if it's going to retaliate. terry, thank you very much for that. that is our brussel correspondent, terry schultz. which one is the most pressing issues facing nato members as the war

and ukraine and keeps repeated plea for more arms, for germany. that debate is now focused on a british proposal to swap cruise missiles. it would see germany give it that taras missiles to britain, who would in turn send you crank more of its own storm shadow nestles german foreign minister. and elaina bare bach has said she is open to the idea. a chancellor will laugh schultz has so far blocked any moves to send the long range weapons to key if he has concerns. but they could be used to hit targets in russia and that german soldiers would need to be involved. let's get more on this from d w as chief political editor, mckayla cross. now why are we hearing these very public mixed messages from the german government on taurus muscles? because they are very mix takes on whether to supply this cruise missile. it's an open secret that 5 minutes to another in a bad box who describes the sending them a to britain who could then send its missiles to ukraine. would be an option. she's

was in favor of sending them straight away and determine tanza is completely set against me supplying any such weapons, particularly this tower system, which is seen as a pretty much the best of it's kind of make in the world because he's concerned. first of all of a german soldiers potentially being involved in the targeting of this. and the 2nd be that these missiles have a range that if they were known for a particular project team crane, they could hit moscow. so the over arching concerning the task or is that somebody could be seen as a policy to this concept, something to i'm trying to solve, wants to avoid a total cost limit those concerns from berlin. we saw david cameron travels with berlin last week, trying to convince the german government that supplying cruise missiles ukraine would not result in russian retaliation. do you think he was at all successful with

that message? while he was preaching to the converted cuz he was meeting, not even a bad bulk of was in favor of supplying those weapons, but he was also more specific in what involvement would mean the brits on now saying that would mean in the totes sold to actually actively, being in combat with a russian soul to these various interpretations of this. we've also seen fonts unwilling to roll out boots on the ground in the future. having said all of this gemini, particularly the dumb and cancer against the opinion of many people, leading people in his own coalition, doesn't want to take any risk towards moscow. and some, including the for monday to the secretary general, criticizing this as a lack of leadership. or thank you very much for that update that is database chief political editor because of course, the inside ukraine, a doctor working at a hospital just a 100 kilometers from the front lines has been describing their experience after

years of war. thousands of patients in need of life saving treatment are receiving care. at new pros, a mentioned a cost hospital. a facility now dumped by metix as the survival factory. it's just another morning at work for valentino lisney cha. she has a soldier on the operating table who's only reading with one long a bullet pass straight through the other one. the surgeons want to remove the clotting the chop, but we get going on our operations at 9. 7 or so recently we've been starting at 9 and finishing dues. whenever we finish the kinship. we're at the mentioned a called hospital in the pro 2 thirds. the patients here are soldiers wounded on the battlefields. before the war, mika worked as a programmer and leave. he tells us he thought his injuries would kill him when it

was put on them all. i got hit by bullets in the front and both my lungs so my ribs and chests were crushed by the doctors here called their hospital, a survival factory. and in this conveyor belt of new patients that doesn't even stop for the air raid siren. the soldier has a mine injury as well as trap no rooms to both his lower limbs and the lower back say it's, it's like we just bought of a sudden and found ourselves in this world film and can't get out to become our life. it's in wash, it's not something you can describe in words the 1st time you have to see it with your own eyes. up a bunch of this, the 17 years department specializes in treating sepsis patients. these patients

have the most dangerous wound infections. she came here as a student and now leads the department. there's been fighting and don't bus on the pros, doorstep since 2014. but in the last 2 years, the number of admissions has gone through the roof. last, what changed is that the 1st aid soldiers get after injury is much better than it was. patients who wouldn't have had a chance of surviving the evacuation process before are now making it to us alive. so we get patients who are much, much more ill. gosh, because it's not just the patients that have changed. the medics have become faster, more efficient. but they've also burned out. yeah, nickel, my colleagues and i have stopped asking our patients how they were wounded. he can only they tell us themselves, tell us their story. show if we started asking too many questions, you just can't function or we're basically always at work. so the controller,

so the days over, but valentino isn't going home. she has a night shift ahead of her. it's been that most new patients are brought in from the front lines. the doctors here don't have to read the news. they see how things are going by the number of ambulances arriving. they can bring you up to speed. now, what's other world news headlines to ukraine's president will let him hear zalinski has hit back at comments from pope francis calling for peace negotiations with russia. the landscape that the pope shouldn't try to mediate from thousands of kilometers away in an interview with swiss tv. the pope said that ukraine should have the courage to raise the white flag and to negotiate authorities. in bolivia have declared a state of emergency after heavy rains that struck the capital of has rivers broke their banks over the weekend, inundating several neighborhoods. the president has pledged to send 3000 troops to

prevent further damage and several major news agencies are withdrawn. this photo of britons, princess of wales, saying it appears to have been manipulated. the royal family published the picture on sunday after weeks of speculation about the princess's whereabouts following surgery in january and the many branch of the as well as notion group volcanoes as its leader, hollywood, all but tar fee has died, but have not provided further details. the us government and put a 5000000 dollar bounty on the saudi born militants had saudi arabia's king has used his ramadan message to highlight the suffering and gaza calling on the international community to bring an end to what he described as the brutal crimes taking place. in the territory efforts to secure a cease fire before the start of the muslim holy month of stalled. and amid acute hunger agencies, a international efforts to ramp up the deliveries of humanitarian supplies by air and now also by sea are not enough in parts of gaza. from it,

then decorations and food are still available, but not the price is most people can afford to give you that there are no jobs left. no walsh or no electricity. people are selling their belongings to live. right. sounds good to me. i don't run into is very hard on us. what are the ones that i've just done on this? for most palestinians food to break rama downs daily fast will be hard to come by. my well, wow. yeah, i mean, we rarely each it is whether it is rama done or not. yeah, i mean it's a hyundai, you always remain hungry. it's amazing that goes back in and mister bell as well as eve and rougher parents are getting creative to help children celebrate the sun. ramadan is very different. this year we're not in our homes were intense,

but we insisted on putting up decorations and celebrating. we just pray that by the end of ramadan will be in our homes and give them a bunch of you others from the fighting between a mouse and is really forces too much to bear. children reportedly injured admins rarely bombing or rushed to the hospital. and this central gaza strip ongoing is really air strikes, are also taking a psychological tool of all of us. we are tired, i swear, please feel for us, please. we want a ceasefire and an end to this. what do we have to say? we thank god for anything or a lower level without a ceasefire in time for ramadan. and it is really ground of solid interoffice. still a possibility. the suffering of ordinary palestinians continues without the least insight. so i'll jean from the n g o team. humanities spoke to us earlier from

rossa in gaza. he told us of what he is seeing there as people begin the holy month of ramadan. a little experience that there is like a change. like i'm everything like people need sleeping no diapers to do hygiene stuff. and it's really, really hard to help because there's so many people i think they're older, one point to lean on and off on. and your organization is delivering donations to those in need. if i understand correctly, how many people are you able to provide food a to, to their um, so its an influx of egypt until august, and 140 trucks over 140 trucks inside plaza. and i can't even give you another number because we just be legal in schools. refugee camps uh, tends everywhere, so it can thousands and thousands of calls. like tell me more about the arrival of

this 8 on these trucks from egypt. can you describe for me what kind of, what kind of checks are going on at the board or how difficult it is to get the aide in into the gaza? and then what your distribution challenges are, once it arrives, please basically sending trucks from egypt with packing and everything and we're sending out. i know there's rumors that as a lot of trucks, the border there is. but sometimes people sending things that is not useful in gaza, and that's the also big issue. and what do you send trucks? we know exactly because we have to progress here. you guys are sending water flower blankets and 2 packages. and when we so we send them it arrives deposit, we just the right back last week. so a realtor the trucks, we've got to 8 and we've started packing anything or dies and everything and go

to the places where people are reading of this was just all of the procedures going . so it's difficult, of course to do a while you have, you're a cause of the bottom to you constantly. and jones flies and people are and why is this right? you mentioned that some of this aid is more useful than other kinds of aid. what, what is most badly needed there at this point and what is not worth what is not worth sending? they need everything. i see 70 percent of children don't a, she's 70 percent babies because they ran out of the house. and they just don't have shoes. will need to close water through the process of medication. maybe it is everything. imagine the whole 50

whole district is gone. they need every thing to think. i can, they can so, but i wanna thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on the date of your names. that is salon all dean from teams. humanity many thanks. we can turn to portugal now where the center, right democratic alliance has claimed a victory and a tightly contested general election. the vote took place 2 years ahead of schedule . after a long time socialist incumbent, prime minister, antonio crushed us, stepped down and made corruption investigations. the result of left in no party with a majority while a search and support for the far right. weeds of the country facing an uncertain political future. the v for victory, supporters of the democratic ally, and celebrate as the leader of their central right party luis montenegro takes to the stage to claim victory. mill cool, louise. my commitment is to respect for will freely and democratically expressed by

the portuguese people to bring about change free. that change will be achieved with a new prime minister high school. we have a new government to move pretty much and we have new policies, schools available. it go novice lead, functioning for a ran on a platform that promise tax cuts for companies and the middle class and a voice to united portable after 8 years empower the socialist party is conceding defeat, candidates federal nuno santos already stepped up to congratulate the victors, even before the count was complete, believe the good joseph, everything indicates so safe. this policy will not get the most votes. gotta police . so i want to congratulate ag for its victory but it's unclear if the democratic lines is montenegro will be able to form

a majority. coalition, montenegro has said his democratic alliance will not negotiate with the far right to the party, which solved their share of the vote. search and sundays election. j goes headed by ex, but ball commentator entre ventura, he ran on an anti immigration platform focused on stamping out corruption and easing some taxes. those of them still misquote because i've been to the 4 years of socialism in portugal. at this time the people have said what they want to be like the think they said the right wing must go better and that's the right wing to govern deals as you put together last the wind up on monday, just a given point to go for the next 4 years of the rising popularity of tega indicates a right wing shift in the country. the social is one the last election in a landslide victory. but after corruption scandal and rising inflation, voters seem to be turning toward new parties and a new direction. so we can take

a look at this year's oscars and there were few surprises with the night belonging to the historical biotech oppenheimer, it picked up 7 awards, including for best film and best director. it's star kelly and murphy also took home the best actor prize, period trauma and maria se oppenheimer often hymer topped it's a night of domination with the award for best picture. it's 7 when included christopher nolan for best director robert disney junior, for best supporting actor and kelly and murphy winning his 1st oscar for best actor . we made a film about the mine and created the atomic bomb. and for better or for worse, we're all living in oppenheimer's world. so i would really like to dedicate this to the peace makers. everywhere. to ceremony generally steered clear

of politics. but the brief mentions of international tragedies were powerful. jonathan glaser used his zone of interest international feature. when to echo the films method you to count the humanize ation to upon says, what are the victims of october the 7th in israel? well, the ongoing attack on gaza, all the victims of this tissue. and as i should, how do we resist? what a night when nearly every award was an apparent foregoing conclusion? best actress was the biggest surprise. going to m a student for her performance. interesting. lily gladstone from killers of the flower moon, had been to do with 1300 on the producers, kept the audience on their toes with a few unpredictable moments such as going on,

john. so you know, streaking across the stage to 9 best costume design and the short warming cost to wage the dog from a not to me of a fall classics. and when it came to best song, billy, i least may have won the award. but ryan gosling stole the night with his performance of i'm just can from barbie. an oscar where the performance in itself the earlier i asked entertainment journalist k j matthews, about the impact of political statements at this year's oscars. you know, a lot of people,

it's showing that they don't like that they really don't when they look at their ratings and whatnot from people who've gotten really political. i don't think this year was really that political. there were 2 people didn't mention the ongoing uh you know, more and would you crane and russian. obviously the situation with, with the gaza and in israel in their speech is for winning best documentary. and obviously that's an irrational bmw zone of interest, which was you know, the 1st academy award for international feature film for the u. k. um, but outside of that, i mean, i think they were just wanting piece and wanting a ceasefire. and that's kind of what they hit to that. but i thought the most political statement of the night actually came from jimmy kimball, about 3 hours and 20 minutes into the show when he to digs are kind of took a shot at uh, president trump saying that president trump was tweeting him, saying how horrible he's doing and then he basically says something back to the effect of isn't it pass your jail time instead of saying past your bedtime? so i thought it was interesting that the jimmy kimmel, the host, waited until the end of the show before he brought that as being or in to that was

katy matthews and away. and that is our show for now and all from me. your hard offers be back about half an hour with more news headlines. thank you so much for watching the

pico africa, carbon offsetting projects are sprouting up all over 10 young ladies after that as a predictor. and i'm going to the single unless that's exactly the story. but can these efforts really make a difference? next d, w thinking as a network thing, as one,

it show about vision raised and that project the challenges that can be tackled together for a future. living with a king for a more united well in 60 minutes on the d. w. the race as long because later when we look back, we recognized at all, that's the moment when everything changed. it's all about in the age of artificial intelligence. in 5 years it was in china, the us. oh you're up to control the technology that will shape the future of

humanity, the small, it's new world, the a i race starts march 16th on dw, the a while dismissing a host of environmental challenges and goals. and women are key to testing them out every single level. so welcome to equal africa and especially addition to mock international women's day. i m sandrica holmes that we nobody coming to from complex right here in uganda. and i chris zillow's joining you from the ghost nigeria of a show abra showcase in some pretty remarkable with.
