the, the is this, the, the we news lying from berlin, a russian attack on ukraine problems and un security council emergency meeting in new york. let's try calling to keep childrens hospital sparks, international condemnation. the one says it's highly likely. it was a direct russian strike, but the kremlin denies responsibility. also on the program. nato has of state gather for a summit in washington with russia's invasion of ukraine high on the agenda grant in president rowland. where's the landscape says he's ready to discuss more aid for his country and a lift off for europe's our jani. 6. the rocket over the new chapter for the

european space launch industry, attempting to re establish its own access to space. the article relates to those of you watching on tvs in the united states and all our viewers around the world. welcome to the show. it's great to have you with us. nato leaders have been gathering in washington for assignments with supplying ukraine with what it needs to find out rushes invasion top of the agenda. this comes after the un security council held an emergency meeting and response to the missile strike on ukraine's biggest children's hospital greeting. officials say moscow deliberately target at the hospital, meanwhile, and keep people are still coming to grips with the scale of the destruction de 2 of the clean up to ukraine's largest, the children's hospital. hundreds of patients,

their loved ones and stuff were in the facility when the miss, i'll hate on monday, the facilities director explained the impact of the strike. someone how little know that that's the most significant loss is the loss of life. unfortunately, we lost a highly professional doctor, was very dedicated to children and prevented major casualties. we've lost the young qualified specialist as well as to the renewal and of course we also lost the building. it's completely destroyed for when the sub dialysis for kidney failure, an acute toxicity issue was conducted in that building. now there's no building left and no equipment. we also lost critical infrastructure. we lost the ability to supply electricity to both the new and old buildings. but even though ukraine has published photos of what it says or recovered fragments of

a russian cruise to me. so that struck the children's hospital, russia it denies its involvement. un experts back up keeps claims that moscow was to blame. hospitals have special protection under international humanitarian law. intentionally directing attacks against the protected hospital ease. it will crime and perpetrators must to be held to account mister president, these incidents a part of a deeply concerning part in a systemic attacks, humming health care and other civilian infrastructure across ukraine to the hospital strike was part of a bi raj of nissan attacks in different parts of ukraine on monday, dozens of people were killed. the ukrainian president, 5 to retire the 8 on tuesday. moscow says ukrainian droned, strikes, killed,

at least one person, set fire to 2 powers substations and an oil depot in several russian regions. is back in teeth, there's hope, the nato summit and washington will lead to an increase in support for ukraine and then turn better air defenses to avoid more bloodshed. w correspondence, alexandra phenomena is covering the nato summit for us in washington, dc. and i asked her a short while ago whether ukraine will be at the top of the agenda. yeah, you totally rights and the call of course military support for ukraine is on top of the agenda. i here at the summit with many diploma. it's telling me that they view the reasons rushing the attacks on ukraine and in particular, at the heart we freak attack on the children's hospital hospital there in kids as a, remind how urgent you cray needs more support in terms of defense. and in terms

of long range missiles and the allowance to swipe targets a deep in the russian territory when it comes to a defense of allies. here are quite optimistic that there will be new pledges for ukraine that they will receive more petra systems to protect their civilians and their cities when it comes to long range missiles. we don't expect any new announcements there. and of course, the big topic here is, as well as we have just towards the end, the reports ukraine's wish to join the alliance spot. so we can say for sure, 100 percent there will be no invitation issued for kids to join the alliance. but there will be a bridge help for them to get ready when conditions on the ground are mad and when old allies, if we on that and said the financial help that has been already improved,

approve the 40000000000 us dollars. this is a of important help for ukraine, and financial will also to take over a co ordinating role when it comes to military assistance and the training of ukraine and soldiers. so all of that is what you create and i think can expect from this summit. but, alexandra, not all nato members agree on how to support keep going forward. there is a lot of uncertainty going into the us presidential election in november of this year. how do you think those challenges will be addressed at the summit? well, not officially. that's for sure, because new to a country, it's one to send a strong signal of unity strings from washington d. c. but behind the scenes and in european capitals, they're working on contingency plans. what it could mean is donald trump will get

elected again, uh and uh, what it means for nato and support for ukraine. uh, he has the rails against a nato and now he is repeating that on the contain trail. and we know that he's also making a piece plan for you, creating one of his priorities. have many here fear that he could offer russia if a concessions at the expense of ukraine, so many here that you are p and a very concerned still. this is not the official topic. and we also have to mention that there is a lot of political uncertainty in europe as well. french president, my call will arise here, fresh of contentious parliamentary elections. there is a new british prime minister. there is a big to all, but i'm here also will be here and hungry has already up to out of a supporting ukraine with a military assistance. so there is a lot of what certainly, and i think we can expect that some of it will of

a shadow. this summit of unity here in washington, dc. alexandra phenomena at the nato summit in washington, dc. thank you so much for the latest. and we can get more context out from this ciocca, a u. s. policy expert to joins me in this area. so good to have you here. now, this is the last nato summit before the presidential election in the us. there is a lot of talk about trump proofing the alliance. what do you think those efforts could look like? i mean, already as discussed, front and center, that will be ukraine. what kind of um, support both financial alexander was talking about the approved package from the states that's already been put through. that's vital to kind of trump proof the us financial support. but also that talk of, what does that bridge look like? what does that membership pass look like? there's conversation around making that membership past irreversible. and there's been talks from, you know, kind of sources from the white house saying the white house supports that language

and putting something in place now. but if the conditions are met, couldn't be undone, if things go sideways for the us in, in november, some analysts or calling this a week of reckoning for jo 5. and how do you expect the discussion that is happening not only inside the country about his fitness to continue in office to run for another term to, to affect the summit. i think it'll be really interesting and we're going to have kind of 2 ways that it can affect it as always on policy and on political, political and political theatre can, one could say. so on policy, he has proved a strong ally. he runs on a record of expanding nato on supporting nato. already the german chancellor has come out and said, i had a great conversation with him. he was alert, he was incredibly prepared. the new bride, british prime minister, also had really positive things to say. so as a policy, there may be less concern then that bite and can do the job and do it well then

politics. and he has to both assuage the foreign leaders who feel like they really need him as well as the public. he's going to do a press conference as this is he's going to be strong. is he going to be able to deliver his message and kind of make up an end that do cycle that came up after the debate. but with all of this going on, even just the, the discussion that is kind of the legitimizing isn't, is, is he the, the leader need own needs right now. again, i think nato and the american domestic political news are 2 different stories. i think a bite and has consistently stepped up for nato made nato stronger brought in new partners has pushed for that full funding from other countries that has achieved a lot of it. so in that sense, in his policy staff and remember he's not the only one attending this, his staff is attending his advisors. important other officials. so yes, on that front it's can he called the spears that,

that he's not up for the political theatre task. and also will he distract from the story and that might be the case. and so as you already said, this is going to be a testing week for him. and he's got to kind of cover both of those bases of actually getting his policy agenda through which he seems very capable of doing well. also the thing he's less capable at which is ending that new cycle and kind of assuring folks that he's up for the task. yeah, and there is a very real possibility though that this might be his last summit as president and trump's team is reportedly working on a radical re orientation of nato. what could that mean to it? as, as already been discussed, it's not great news for the stability in the future of nato. one of the things they can talk about right now is okay, if we trump proof, can we get through for years without the support of the us or with a very different type of support. i think it creates a lot of instability in a time when an organization like nato, has been a source of stability,

both in europe and around the world. so they really need to look at what is the strength of the other partners. how is the u. k. how are, is germany, how are the new members living up to their end of the bargain? so that if there is some instability in the us, nato as an organization can continue on us policy analysts. lucille good, thank you so much. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. the german government says it will not issue replacement documents for military age ukrainian men living in germany. that's according to how books interior minister keith is trying to address a shortage of troops for its war with russia and has temporarily borrowed military age men from obtaining passports abroad. russia has ordered an arrest warrant for julian, nevada, the wife of late opposition, politician. i'll explain of only accusing her of participating in what they call extremist groups of aaliyah who lives outside russia has balance to continue the

work of her husband after he died in a russian prison in february. this year thousands of people have been killed and a parent is really your striking gaza according to palestinian medical officials. the tense of displaced families were reportedly hit outside of school in the town of us on near han units. there was no immediate comment from the is really military the european space agency is already on 6 rock. it has successfully blasted off on it's made and slights here. it's newest rocket launch from the european space ford into blue and the french kiana for nearly 3 hour flights comes 4 years later. and initially plan companies from 13 different countries were involved in the rockets construction and development. that's intended to transport satellites into space for commercial and public clients at a much lower cost. and it's free to assess the harry on 6 is meant

to help lead europe space industry out of a crisis. it's designed for those to launch satellites into orbit and to make missions to the moon and more as possible. that's why there are 2 versions of the rocket. the smaller has to saw with boosters that can transport lighter payloads into space. it's big brother has 4 and can carry 2 satellites with an upper stage that can be ignited several times, europe's new rocket will be able to launch satellites at different altitudes and carry them to practically 10 of your vet. the area on 6 is meant to provide you of once again with independent access to space for around a year. now european satellites have had to be put into orbit on us launch vehicles . technical problems have delayed to new rockets several times one. go with the area on 6 is to make space travel more competitive for europe. space has turned

into an important gross market. more satellites were launched in the last 4 years alone, and in the 6 proceeding decades, the industry is growing rapidly. by 2030 more than 60000 satellites could be in orbit around the earth. the new rocket is entering a hotly contested market to wide one that's dominated by space cx. the private us company offers commercial satellite launches at bargain prices. space x is also in the lead when it comes to technology. it's rockets are built with stages that can be landed and reused many times, which conserves resources and reduces costs. in the past year, the falcon 9 space x is work horse rock. it took off almost $100.00 times to keep

up, the launch is a v i re on 6 full half to drop in price. there are plans to also develop a reusable stage, introduce innovative production processes, and raise the number of annual launches. 30 orders are already on the books. the new rocket is slated to launch for the 2nd time. by the end of this year, a half dozen more launches are planned for 2025, and it's hoped 10 a year. we'll take off by 2027. and for a closer look, i can now welcome journalist and david, are you still? he's the author of the upcoming book, open space. welcome to the w. and how big a deal is this launch for the european space agency? and i think you should market calendars now. the july 9th is space. your space independence day from now. and i think you have a lot of very happy people within the european space market. um, as the piece that you ran just before this mentioned a lot of people who are waiting for this there is there's been

a heavy reliance on us partners, particularly space x, which is dominated the lawn space. europe has not logged and not been using us. so he's rockets from russia for, for quite some time now and because of the ukraine war and europe has its scale away. oh uh, navigation system that it really needs to launch in some of these. some of these talking 9 equivalent or 1000 heavy type type rock is into leo, and it just hasn't been able to do that in a homegrown way. so around is really europe's answer in an answer that's been way that's been coming for about 4 years and delay. and that's been because of political setbacks and funding issues and technical problems. but also really the 1st time that you're able to launch a homegrown market since july last year, when air in finance edits last last void. so a really big day in europe, obviously. and you mentioned a couple of reasons there. but are those the only reasons the european space program is lag behind or was it just not a priority until now? maybe you know it's, it's difficult, right?

it's these, these programs are difficult any way. and if you look at sort of the commercial space and really almost de la capacity outside of space x, it's just, it's an industry that's just it, right? but the ways these things are complicated funding issues inevitably come through federal contracts when the policy exchange sometimes of funding levels or the priorities change within that. but i think, you know, in the context of what this rocket represents, it represents a growing interest in space. commercially, particularly in leo, but you know, you make a good point in the context that this is still not a reusable rocket and it's 2024. and the fact that are there is on valence of new rockets that are not really usable at this point is, is a real head scratcher. and now you, me, you talked to isa and the european space agency, and they'll say, you know, there's, there's only a certain number of launches. we're going to be doing that this year. i think there's 6 in 2025. but if you look at this basic manifold, i mean,

i think there's 6 before the end of the summer. so there's a, there's a long road to catch up. space 6 and others do it, which deeply. that's partly because of the culture. it's basic. it's partly because of the usability of the rockets. so i think until you get the usability in the area on 7 that comes out later on and coming years, you're probably not going to see that the kind of competitiveness that european european industry leaders are looking for. that said, there's just a growing interest in space and you know, clearly from an economic perspective, from a technological innovation perspective, i think countries increasingly really recognize the importance of putting more resources into lowering earth orbit. at least that's not even dimensions this lower space. so we're going to see more of this coming up in the weeks months. here's a space journalist, david ari also. thank you so much. thank you. so it's been 5 years now since

a historic wave of pro democracy protests swept hong kong and response. beijing imposed a sweeping national security line, essentially transforming every aspect of the city since then. over 10000 people have been arrested for protests and security offences. many of them students, for those who have now been released many are finding the city has changed completely. and now they face major challenges and their daily lives, our corresponded phoebe con, much to young dissidence, were determined to stay in the city despite all the change, while your team and century, and a packing up to allow you to be shipped out of hong kong. but they are not the ones leaving. china is increasing repression of civil liberties here has lost a huge x of this. so we will hold all, i'm now, since i've been in jail, most of my friends have left hong kong people who shared my values less visible. now that makes sense to learn the number. i'm still grieving while i was moving on

is not the kind of work, say, or the pos with usually to, but most of the firms not willing to hire them. this moving company keeps work to yell people, prosecute us. the protests relate to all political offences. one got fired on the 2nd day of his last job, which is false. claims on pressure from high up to also says his bank accounts have been suspended from time to time. it is followed and so failed that includes activity. i use a very direct impact. the house of everyday life perform a political prisoners in this era, like just leaving a normal life is already a huge challenge. i don't that to imagine my future with you right now. oh, nice are long and sam, what part of the huge pro democracy protest movement that makes mobile head lice? in 2019 vision was funded by imposing the nation security laws which gave the

government's new powers to prosecute many kinds of descent. ones local in home comb, since the protest over 10000 people have been invested in that number is still flowing, official thinkers say around 40 percent of those the rest it was students lifelong . and so this starts with a student that to this was after the demonstrations to call for continued resistance, but ended up in jail for around 2 years or conspiracy. insights, obsession seems be released late last year. well, like many other opposition, thinkers usually keeps a low profile. today is an exception. he's launching a new teacher friend. as a pros, protests grocery store, many of his customers are active. this is all, all the, all the pricing is all, seems the less log, you know, i went to jail for sedition because i slapped into dissidents hearing. i am 70 years old. i don't care much about the price when i show up here i live because

it's one little thing i can do to support the release of just to. 5 see how they call her something to the walls. launched a is the same day as hong kong, implement a 2nd security loan limiting defense ease inside of that despite the risk. well, in sam, have spoken out about the alleged abuse of young prisoners and for wong assigned the t shirts. is a sup to way to chaise thoughts with the public symbol some half the smoke in our homeland or the generation. what happened was a trauma that may not get here for the rest of our lives will go my lot for hong kong is painful. it still out ways, hatred to add whatever bad situations we face. we can still have choices and create meeting on either the that's the lesson i learned from my time in prison. for me, i want to walk alongside those still suffering, hopefully. yeah. hold on for the long and sam time to go back to university soon. the used to 3 mostly comedies, social workers,

that political connections with through that. despite the hurdles, the choosing to stay and try to refuse to live in what many called the new hong kong or the hollywood actor. alex baldwin's trial for the shooting of send him a tiger for, for 8 and i'm talking for on the film sets of the western rust is getting underway . it starts with the selection of jurors on tuesday. baldwin's as he was told to point a prop gun in the direction of crew member helena hutchins, and discharged and killed her. prosecutors are pursuing the charge of involuntary manslaughter. baldwin is facing up to 18 months in prison if found guilty. alec baldwin, arriving with his family, the court house in new mexico for the stone to his trial. he faces charges of invalid 3 months worth over the fatal shooting of send him a tucker for helena hutchins. 3 years ago. he denies them

a one more, one more, one more bold. when was the rest of the thing on the set to so western film rust when upfront, prove all that he was holding when tough the shots killed, hutchins an injured the film's director. the key says he didn't know the gun contained real munition and that he didn't know to pull the trigger. right. i suspect somebody put a line in april um or a honda gutierrez, who was in charge of the weapons on the set was convicted of invalid fema flow to in jail for 18 months. and there's a little b b in there. this film industry um are uh says if baldwin is found guilty, that could upset future film productions. we're responsible for rigging a car for us, don, for an actor, we're responsible for setting someone on fire onset. we handle all of that stuff.

it's ultimately our responsibility to now hold an actor responsible for that if he's convicted, that could potentially send a chill throughout the industry because what actor is going to want to get in that car and do that stunt if they haven't personally inspected the brakes themselves. full twins defense on the lines that it is the job as a professional abra notes, an act to to make sure that the guns on such a safe to use the trial is expected to last 9 days. as a reminder of the top stories were following for you, the one security council has held an emergency meeting and response to a missile strength on new friends. biggest children's hospital strikes came during the largest wave of russian attacks against ukrainian cities in length. at least 37 people were killed across the country. nato leaders are in washington for a summit with russia's invasion of ukraine high on the agenda. the focus is

expected to be on maintaining canes arm supplies and how the alliance can prepare for political ships on both sides of the atlantic. for watching the really news from berlin stay with us now. after a short break, i will be back to take you through today and i sure hope to see you there. the the

machine they do. we often contel, but you little bit suspicious is nato the strongest defense alliance in the world. the global self have lost confidence in organization is to treat the you said light on the reasons behind. this would be the knocker. how did we get here? close out in 45 minutes. on the

one of the main kinds, oldest ambitions could be within reach. what is it really is possible to reverse the researchers and sign just all over the world far in a race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube. dw documentary cost about why does that? because now, i'm liza the new host. join us for an exciting exploration of everything in between.

this is a video and audio production 5 d w. i hope video will tune in the nato members and partners are in washington. this week to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the alliance is founding, but it's not all celebration of past achievements with russia's war ranging in europe and an ever more assertive china. this seems to be the moment for nato to prove itself. but there is another task looming for host joe biden, and many heated debates about his age and fitness. the president of nato's most powerful member will have to make the case to the leaders gathered that he is. in fact i.
