the, the business dw news line from ballot. nato street says via lions is bigger and stronger. office suite accessed the sweetest slide is raise of nato's brussels headquarters and a special ceremony installed back hit south at brush as president vladimir putin climbing. he has failed and it was denied a few surprises. this is oscar. christopher know when i opened, i'm a sweeps. most of the major prizes at the academy awards, including best picks up best director and best extra.

the gulf is welcome to the program. the swedish flag is now flying up, nato is headquarters in brussels. it follows a special ceremony not to full box. we succession 17, its place as the military alliances. 30 seconds men coming to us up to the noted countries applies to join the following. rushes full scale invasion of you, the ball, those, the gen attending sweden's prime minister and, and they chose the secretary general yet still who had this when pressed on tooth and launched is full for scaling nation 2 years ago. he won't, the less, nate, the more control over his neighbors. he wanted to destroy ukraine as

a sovereign state. but she said nato is bigger and stronger. ukraine is closer to nathan membership than ever before. the security situation in our region has not been the serious since the 2nd world war. under russia would stay a threats to you. atlantic security for a foreseeable future. it was in these light, sweden applied to join to the native defense alliance to gain security, but also to provide security to have used brussels correspond the type of shows has been an age a headquarters to dana also is people that know, taking a victory lap off the wall, it's been a rocky accession process for sweet after, as you say this very long, 2 years. and especially even this last year when finland was admitted to the alliance. having gotten all the, the approval from all the other allies

a year ago that live sweet and in a position where it felt very vulnerable, almost like it had a target on it. there was new member of finland on one side in norway on the other side. but sweden was not in and so there's a huge relief sense of relief. you're around nato headquarters, both swedish prime minister of christmas, and the secretary general again, stolen berg were, were clearly happy, even laughing a little bit. and you don't see that very often here at nato, so everyone is really in a good mood that this finally, this process finally has come to an end with the right raising of the swedish flag here. now we heard a moment ago from the swedish prime minister, and he said the russians threat to euro atlantic security tip the scales for a sweden to join nato. and that brakes for the long tradition of neutrality. why the sweet and st joining nato is a safer bed and staying neutral? well, one of the points he made this morning and, and we notice also from nato's change and as military pastor is it, they don't believe this threat from russia is going away any time soon. not only

will the war in ukraine, not be over quickly, but then russia will turn to other neighbors perhaps. and that's, of course, if you're in the baltic states or you're in the nordic area, you feel like you could be next. now this, we just defense minister who we've spoken to many times on our air used to say without article 5 without being a nato member. we can hope we can wish we can even assume that other countries would come to defend us. but we cannot know. we only know once we have article 5 and that's what nato membership gives sweden, w. so it's bundling socials that we bought in from brussels. now let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. or at least 26 people have been killed in flash flooding, a bland slice of indonesia, 11 others are still missing on the island of some options. of flood waters are receiving best gas. it's uh, being handled by power outages and damaged roads. the chinese nationals, people's congress has wrapped up his annual gathering in badging. delegates signed

off on a 7 percent boost in defense spending. it was business as usual, as the routing communist party planned, formerly a universal support to portugal now of the center, right democratic alliance as claim victory in a general election. the type, the contested vote took place 2 years ahead of schedule because long time socially as prime minister tony cost us step down facing corruption investigations. the results have seen a surge in support for the fall. right. but gave no policy and outright majority leaving the country facing and on such a political future. a 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 promised tax cuts for companies. and the middle class and a voice to united, portable after 8 years empower the socialist party's conceding defeat, candidates, federal and you know santos already stepped up to congratulate the victors, even before the count was complete. believe the good joseph everything indicates the surface polity 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 che goes headed by ex, but ball commentator audrey 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. and this time the people have said what they want you like to think they set the right wing must go better. and that's the right wing to govern deals. is it worth it just lost the wound up on monday this the govern portugal 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 seemed to be turning toward new parties and a new direction. now the few surprises. this is also because

the night bill to the historical bio pic oppenheimer, it $17.00 a was including full best film and best director. its stock, helium murphy also took on the best active prize period trauma and maria, se oppenheimer, austin hymer talked it's a night of domination with the award for best picture. it's 7 when included christopher nolan for best director appropriate 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 for us, we're all living in oppenheimer's world. so i would really like to dedicate this to the peace makers everywhere because there are many 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 account the humanize ation to a problem 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? on a night, were 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 tempted to wait. 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 cuts away the dog from a not to me of a fall classics. and when it came to best song, really i least may have won the award. but ryan gosling stove and night to with his performance of i'm just can from barbie. an oscar where the performance in itself the the air i spoke to a film expert scott rock, sobriety gave us his take on the best picture. when the oppenheim and the fact that

oppenheimer did so well, uh, that really basically cleaned up the, the oscars issue. i think that's a sign that this was a return to sort of the oscars of old. because oppenheimer is one of those big old hollywood historical ethics, the kind of used to always win at the oscars. but i've sort of been replaced in the last number of years by smaller independent international film spencer streamers. you've had films like code a nomad, land, moonlight, parasite winning the best picture of but here you had another, an old big, big studio of film, oppenheimer winning even beating out it's, it's more sort of mainstream commercial rival barbie. i'm. and i think it's interesting because these are the kind of movies that holly holly would use to really try her and, and warner at the oscars. but they sort of fall out of favor and the last couple of decades really. um, it was the sort of rise of superhero movies and, and franchise movies so. so this oscars i think, was a returned to that sort of old school hollywood celebration of these type of big

epic, a films that really only only with only the steel system couldn't really do proper any nominees that you think was a role of a deserving. when well, i was among most people expecting that literally gladstone would when the best actress oscar for killers in the flower moon. and she was the 1st thing to just women dominated for that honor. um and i expected, as most people did that you would be the 1st 10 digits of a person to win a best actress. if it's kind of hard to say that she was rob though, because i'm a stone one, a best actress for poor things. david armstrong, performance of that in that film as a, as a women's are literally rebuilds herself in this kind of frankenstein like story from your best alonzo. most, i'm so that performance was, was amazing and was really sort of all as they are, where a, where is legalize sounds performed includes the flower movies a bit more restrained, a bit more subtle. and so maybe that cost or i'm so i would have liked to see

really glad. so when i think she may be deserved a to win, but i can't take anything away from emma stone. that was a phenomenal performance and, and well, deserving of an awesome. so you mentioned international productions earlier now the german language from zone of interest one is best international film. it was produced in the okay. did you see that coming? so yeah, most definitely. it was one of my favorite films of last year. um, and after i saw how it was received specifically in the us, i expected it to when a best picture is the 1st time a u. k. or best picture of best international feature. it is the 1st time you k film has one in this category, and it was also interesting to see a jonathan of lasers comments because of this feeling he said, although it is about the whole cost, it is very much a reflection of the world. we live in now and he encourages people looking at this movie to think not about the past,

but about what's happening now. but what he said in his a word, comments about the dehumanization that's happening right at this moment. um, do you particularly signal that the warren guards on the human eyes ation that he sees in the treatment of both israelis and palestinians, victims of complex, so very much very political movie about a load is about the one of the most horrible things of the past. is very much of what's happening at this moment. the w film expert scott rocks for the thank you very much. scott. origins, prince of wales has apologized off to several major news agencies. how to withdraw a photo of a say it appear to have been manipulated. princess catherine said in a statement that she had a deep pride to edit the image and to apologized for any confusion. the royal family published the picture on sunday, which was mother's day in the united kingdom. it came after weeks of speculation about the princess as whereabouts following surgery in january. and

that's, it's from me, the new scene. so now of next women and asia, a serious that tells the stories of women from asia who are breaking stereotypes and makes himself got offices in berlin from the on the team. thanks for the the race has long begun. later when we look back, we recognize that all that's the moment when everything change, it's all about dominance. in the age of artificial intelligence, if i use the eyes booth and literally the only thing.
