the, the sweetest flag is raised at nasal headquarters in brussels and stuff, but claims russians, president vladimir putin has faith in you also ahead we go inside and ukrainian hospital cold, a survival factory by dr. saving the lives of wounded frontline from invest . little to celebrate for palestinians beginning the muslim holy month of ramadan with basic necessities out of reach for the most sense of the great and good of holly about his the red carpet for the biggest size of the here in showbiz christopher know will not be off the bus to open. i am a suites, the major awards of the oscars scooping best picture, best director. and best that the

i'm gonna have both is welcome to the program. basically, this flag is now flying at nato headquarters in brussels rainy ceremony, as formerly welcome to still calling into the alliance as is 30 seconds. remember, we applied to join off the russians invasion of ukraine in february of 2022, based on the 2nd. so generally installed success, the alliance is now stronger than that 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, southern states. but she said the 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 threat to you. atlantic security for a foreseeable future. it was in these light, sweden applied to join the native defense alliance to gain security, but also to provide security, sweetness, location, it's military power and its experience in dealing with russia. i mean it's membership is seen as important boost for night. so that's a big step for suite in itself, which is moving on from 2 centuries of neutrality. sweden becomes the seconds nordic 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 a band and in utility, sweden, they sending an important message to those nations still on the fence about

russia's invasion of ukraine. it's time to pick a side. so how do you let him know there's weaknesses now, leaving 200 years of neutrality? a non alignment behind, and it's a big steps to see. we must take that seriously war, but it's also a very natural step that we are taking the car. furthermore, the kremlin can no longer claim finland's a session was an isolated incidents as as made. so 6 to develop defense plans, the eastern members ended the tearing rushes advance suite and brings considerable experience in understanding health accounts that that threats. sweden's military capability also makes it a powerful new member. the nation posts cutting edge across the cross missiles as well as states of the tanks and submarines under considerable fleets of ships

wave embrace a 500 year old navy in the navy that is among the largest in the baltic sea, where we should remember. nathan doesn't have very many large, mavis sweden's geographical position also makes it useful. firstly, as a land transit routes 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? the message from russia is opponents, is clear, both nights so and sweden, a far stronger as a result of this agreement camera for 8 seconds. and then i also w as process corresponding terry shows where the sweden joining is being treated as a victory financial 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 of 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, and secretary general against oldenburg, 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 re 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 noticed 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. i did have you corresponded terminals that we bought in from brussels. now, nice as top priority is, of course the board and ukraine then keeps repeated requests for more arms. germany is considering a british proposal now to swap cruise missiles. germany would give it

a taurus missiles to prison, which would enter and send you crying more of its own storm shadow with a german 4 minutes to another in a babble cuz said she is open to the idea. but the shots that will show us a sofa road outstanding, long range weapons to tease these concerned about germany being dragged into the wall of the w as chief, political as a me say the troops now told me why the german government is sending mixed messages on taurus, because they're a very mix takes on whether to supply this cruise missile. it's an open secret that 5 minutes to another in a bad box will describe the sending them a to britain who could then send it's miss else 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 set 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 job and soldiers potentially being involved in the targeting of this. and the 2nd v 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 top 3 is that somebody could be seen as a policy to this concept. something to i'm trying to solve wants to avoid this whole cost. this is a chief political out of time if you're looking for that. now inside ukraine, doctor walking at the hospital, just a 100 kilometers from the front lines, has been describing the experience of gears of war. thousands of patients in need of live saving treatment, receiving carrying me prose, missionary call hospital. that's a facility which has been now dubbed 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 passed straight through the other one. the surgeons want to remove the clouding the chop, but we get going on our operations at 9. 7 recently we've been starting at 9 and finishing dues whenever we finish the kinship. we're at the mentioned to call the hospital in the pro 2 thirds the patients here are soldiers wounded on the battlefields before the war mika work as a programmer and leave. he tells us he thought his injuries would kill him. when it was put on the mall. i got hit 5, bullets in the front. here in both my lungs. my ribs and chests were crushed. i have well to 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 and become our life. it's in the wash, it's not something you can describe in words the 1st time you have to see it with your own eyes. a bunch of this valentine use departments specializes in treating subsystem 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 to 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 start asking too many questions, you just can't function or we're basically always at work. so the scriptures, so the day's over, but valentino isn't going home. she has a night shift ahead of her. it's been the 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. i see the display

is with the international committee of the red cross. he joins us now from key if i feel after 2 years of will hundreds of thousands and of bombs. and this house dropped tens of thousands of deaths. what shall we take from the story like the one that we've just seen? wisconsin by focusing on the consequence of one single level that as well as the piece that you have just shown exemplifies. we see that the areas that are located near to the front light has suffered immensely in the past 2 years from the proximity of the active fighting next to them. we see that buildings are discharged, including all of those, including hospitals, including schools. and we see that those who remain in these communities are typically among the most vulnerable, such as children, people with disabilities and elderly also, when the people included with soldiers. so we can see that the, the,

the proximity to fighting means that public service is essential services. people should have access to our extremely difficult to reach. and the, you know, the international committee of the red trust is 12 minutes or an actor that is able to provide some numerator and assistance to communities next to the front line. but of course, what we are able to do is not enough. we have provided just last year over 300000 people, which essentially you monitor and assistance in the form of food or hygiene items. but we know that the deeds are best. and what we're able to do is not enough. what really needs to happen is that the protection conveyed by the geneva conventions by international you made your last are protected. this is on our respect to this is our main message in this conflict. as in others, even more for the rules, and these most exist to protect the spelling. let's talk about fatigue. it is a major factor in the boat, a story of this war. is it becoming more effective for those patching of bodies and

minds? of course, when you talk about a key, this is something that's r t e. unfortunately, every day when we go to communities that have been so hard effected by a military facilities that their doorstep for 2 years, but indeed for 10 years as your peace was saying for some of the eastern regions of ukraine, people are incredibly fuzzy of having to deal with the consequences of on conflict next to them. it means they just can't live a normal life. they tend to have a relative sense of safety. so they really need to be supported. and you know, it's hard to imagine the total that the space, especially for the frontline community, is having to live as your, as your piece with showing with the error rates are and constantly going off to sticks. a huge store also in people's mental health and psychosocial wellbeing. so there is this sense of fatigue that people want to go back to having a normal life. having their basic needs met,

having access to food or the access to water. i think their kids able to go back to school families that have been separated. you to be reunited. but that's why it's so important that you minutes are your needs in ukraine to remain a top priority for the global community. and it certainly is for us as the international committee of the red cross. thank you very much. joshua display from the international committee of the red cross in t. thank you. thank you for having the time now to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines. at least 26 people have been killed and slash flooding and blind spots and indonesia 11. now those are still missing on the audit of sumatra of flood waters receiving risk assets being handled by positives and damaged roads. the 3 libyan leaders have agreed to form a new government to oversee delayed elections that libya was meant to hold the vote

in 2020 well enough to more than a decade of conflicts. but it was postponed off the disagreements over candidates and the election rooms. the king of saudi arabia has used his ramadan message to highlight the suffering and gaza king solomon condemned. well, he called brutal crimes efforts to secure a ceasefire before the start of the muslim holy month of sold and agencies say the international operation to send a motion to terry and supplies is not effective enough. in parts of gaza. ramadan decorations and food are still available, but not in prices. most people can afford motivated. uh there are no jobs left, no walls or no electricity. people are selling their belongings to live. right? sounds good, but to me i don't run into is very hard on us. what i'm going to get done. i michel

for most palestinians food to break rama downs daily. fast. will be hard to come by . my well, wow. yeah, i mean, we have rarely each and is whether it is rama done or not. yeah, i mean it's a hyundai, you always remain hungry this amazing that i quoted, i couldn't miss that as well as eve. and rafa parents are getting creative to help children celebrate that i'm about to send around. the don 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 leave them a bunch of you. others from the fighting between a mouse and is really forces too much to bear. children reportedly injured him in his rarely bombing or rushed to the hospital and this central cause a strip of the 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 salt into rough, a still a possibility. the suffering of ordinary palestinians continues without belief. insight that someone using brief for you. the gemini bron shelf is the midst minutes in group. i'll tell you to says it's lita college of a toffee has died but have not provided for the details. the u. s. government has a put a $5000000.00 bounty on the saudi minutes. instead. authorities believe you have to create a state of emergency as heavy rains bass with a capital a pos, rivers have broken, the banks flooding several neighborhoods. the president has pledge to sent in 3000

troops. the chinese national people's congress has wrapped up its annual guides organ badging, delegates signed off on a 7 percent boost in defense spending. it was business as usual, as the routing come in this pontiff, 1000000 the versus the for the great and the good of hollywood hit the red carpet for the biggest night of the year. and chavez, the also cuz the nuclear blockbuster, open eyed, dominated, cer, certainly, christopher nolan's epic school 7 to was including best field, best director, and best actor. the period comes and my, i see oppenheimer often hymer talked. it's a night of domination with the award for best picture. it's 7 when included christopher nolan for best director rober disney junior for best

supporting actor and kelly and murphy winning his 1st oscar for best actor. we made a film about the amount of 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 to international feature. when to echo the films method you to account to 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 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, really i least may have won the award. but ryan gosling stove a night to with his performance of i'm just can from barbie. an oscar where the

performance in itself, the dw film expert scott brooks's brother, gave me his take on the best picture when i opened 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 limit 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 coda 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, um, it's more sort of mainstream commercial live and 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 in, out of favor in the last couple of decades. really. it was the sort of rise of superhero movies and, and franchise movies. so, so this uh, oscars i think, was 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 can really do proper any nominees that you think what role of a deserving when well, i was among most people expecting that literally gladstone would win the best actress oscar for killers in the flower moon. and she was the 1st thing to just women dominated for that honor. and i expected, as most people did, that you would be the 1st 10 digits of 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. d,

like we'll armstrong performance about 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 where's lead gladstone performs includes the flower room is a bit more restrained, a bit more subtle. and so maybe that cost or um so i would have liked to see where the gladstone, 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 it. awesome. so you mentioned international productions earlier in the german language from zone of interest. one that's 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. and after i saw how it was received the surfaces, specifically in the us, i expected it to win a best picture. it was the 1st time a u. k. a 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, a glazer is comments because of this feeling. he said, although it is about the whole costs, 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 war and gaza and 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. did you feel next? good scott or box for that? thank you very much. scott albertsons, princess of wales as apologize to us and several major news agencies with drew a photo of us saying it appear to have been manipulated. princess catherine said
