the, the, this is the, that we knew is long from berlin, needle pledges on ending support for ukraine in the war against russia. leaders will declare, keith is on an irreversible path to joining the alliance. nato 75th anniversary summit is expected to approve billions of heroes in a fresh aid for ukraine. also coming up. president joe biden host the gathering in washington, but face is growing calls to the van and his re election campaign. actor george clooney, a powerful fundraiser for the democratic party, are just fighting to leave the race and israel opens an investigation into

an air strikes that reportedly killed at least 2 dozen people at a school being used as a shelter in gaza. the incidents could threaten plans, peace talks, and the health cost of global warming, high temperatures, kill more people than any other weather hazard. we look at how extreme heat affects us all the nicole for links to everyone. joining us on p. b, as in the united states and all our viewers from around the world. welcome to the program. it's great to have you with us. ukraine is on an irreversible path to nato membership. that is the assurance given by us and european leaders at the alliance is 75th anniversary summit in washington. although once again, with no clear where timeline nato cvn stolberg opened the meeting of the north

atlantic council. that's nato's main decision making body by emphasizing that quote, support for ukraine is not charity. it is our own security interest. the warranty green and further military and financial aid for keith has dominated the 2nd day of the summit. but us president joe biden called on the other nato leaders to increase military production in the face of russia as aggression. on our summit, 2 years ago, we launch to plan to modernize our to turns and our defense. today, we have to ask ourselves, what is next? how can we keep making the shield stronger? one answer must be to strengthen our industrial base. right now, russia is on a war time 40. with regard to defense production. they have their significantly wrapping up their production of weapons, emissions,

and vehicles. and they're doing it with double china, north korea and iran. as we cannot in my view, we cannot allow the lions to fall behind. the w is alexander phenomena is in washington dc. following the summit for us and i asked her what messages job i'm head for the nato members present. i think that there were 3 key messages and they called the president of bite. and we are assured allies that to you as is and remains committed to the alliance and to defending every inch of nato territory. and it was important, of course, especially for those countries in eastern europe or in the politics who are afraid to fear that if you crane falls, they could be next president fight and also praise the

accomplishments of what's new to was able to accomplish under his leadership the fact that the alliance welcome to new members, the fact that there are no spending more on defends that they have hundreds of thousands of troops on high alert. but there was also a 3rd message with president fight and urging allies not to be compliance to be aware that they need to do more. for instance, to the spring, some their defense injures to a base, to be ready to address any potential threats. and for more analysis, i'm joined now by angela stand. she's a senior fellow at the brookings institution and alter of prudence world russia against the west end with arrest angelo, welcome. it's a pleasure to have you on the show. new pledges and promises of hell for you. free and coming today at the nato summit. what difference will it make on the ground as

well? hopefully it will help the ukrainians to continue holding the ground because at the moment they're in a defensive position. the russians have made somebody mental games, although it huge human cost over the past couple of months and what the ukrainians need to do is to keep defending the territory they have. and hoping that next year in 2025, they can maybe take back some of that territory. so all of this assistance and particularly as defense systems and things like that very important to us f. 16 planes are about to arrive in key if any, every mom any moment, and they, we need to continue supplying movies. and another major headline that came out of the meeting today was the us in germany announcing, but the us would start deploying long range and hypersonic missiles here in germany starting in 2026. how significant a commitment is that for germany and for nato?

i think it's a very significant commitment. uh, you know, because we all understand that the turns against russian failed to, to stop russia invading ukraine. we don't know what will happen in the future, what russian ambitions integration will be. and so i think this renewed partnership between the united states and germany and the deployment of these weapons is a very important sign also to russia that we mean business in trying to, to, to future regression. me, it is a message that they surely do not like to hear. how do you think moscow will respond as well? they will obviously complain. they'll threaten germany, which of course they've been doing any way since the beginning of this kind invasion of ukraine, the mock germany for the new battle of the united states. all of these things that they've been doing for some time, but, and then they will probably threaten to as little as tutors, or what do you said that they want to deploy some new intermediate range nuclear

missiles? me and they told countries he's already said that another big topic at the summit is of course china. there has been reporting about a draft communicate actually calling china, one of russia's main enablers in the war against ukraine. how do you think nato should address beijing's growing influence in the in know, pacific for one, but also in his partnership with russia? so that when the 4 key agent highlight is attending the summit, nato class for like japan, south korea, australia, new zealand. and i think everyone understands that europe, innovation, security, a really indivisible, now they're linked together because of what china is doing to support russia in this world because of what north korea doing. so that has to be pushed back. that has to be a strengthening, i think of the nato asian partners, blogs. but the other thing is that have to be probably more sanctions on china.

because we know that china is sending components to rush and that it's using it. it's one ukraine ended strengthening versus defense industrial base. so i think sanctions are part of the answer and then building stronger ties with the asian allies. now, at the summit, we're seeing nato for tre, an image of strings of unity. but we have seen in many member states, arise a far right populism, of politicians. very open the critical of nato. and what it stands for, how is the aligns, working to future proof itself as well then trying to neutralize the potential that some of these far right parties and by the way, fall elect parties as well. of course, who escaped skeptical about data when, who like watching and to try and neutralize it, but it's a real challenge. and i should also mention that was something that's going on. a

number of european leaders have been meeting with some of our president trunks foreign policy advisors because they also have to worry about what might happen after november in the united states if president trump were to be re elected. but the american pastor on data would be what it costs around russia would be. uh, so there are many challenges facing nato as a whole, but also the european members of nato. as angela stells and thank you so much. she's a senior advisor to the center for your region, russian and east european studies. pleasure speaking to you. while he was president, joe, by mistake, to demonstrate his leadership qualities at those nato summit. pressure is mounting on him to a band and his bid for re election upload came today from after george clooney who is also one of the leading fundraisers for the democrats in an op ed in the new year times cooney road. we're not going to win in november with this president.

that is not just my opinion. that is the opinion of every sen member of congress and governor. i have spoken to in private former us how speaker nancy pelosi has declined to back by his candidacy as well and urged him to make an early decision on whether to stay in the race for the white house up to the president. just aside, if he is going to run, we're all encouraging him to, to make that decision because time is running short of the, i think overwhelming support of the, of the call it's, it's not for me to say i'm not headed. the clock is anymore. but it to fit his beloved is respected and people want him to make that decision. and we can dig deeper now with our washington bureau chief amos pull in his 1st nancy below. see then george clooney calling president, binds canada seem to question how is more? well it's uh, it's really cool this despite the whole of the volume compared to come down to the

bay divided by it and sickness, and also really use the nato summit kind of to show what a successful president biden boss and will be in the future. nothing really is coming down here in the united states. quite the opposite. you just talked about. george clooney is very, very popular. he's a major donor. and, and he said that he just wrote him this, the new york times piece that he just saw him lately in the tea by them is still the same man. i quote him here. we all witnessed at the debate. and then we also mentioned that there's, of course, the still very inferential, former speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, who talked about by him in a very prominent tv interview. and when she says we are all encouraging him to make that position because time is running out, this is kind of a typical wait for her being such an experience policy maker to didn't directly urge bite and to reconsider his bit for the next the next. but ever since the

debate, the white house, and most of all by himself, have been trying to shut down the discussion. now, seeing all of this unfold doesn't mean of those efforts have failed, or yeah, they're not working. it's true. they're working behind the doors and in front of the doors, and joe biden has as many appearances as a possible, but she's just really not able to kind of create this positive momentum. he would need to shift the overall move cheese, mainly reading from teleprompters or scripts. so we shall see how he will function tomorrow. during this press conference at the nato summit at the end of the nato summit, where he has to answer questions throughout the script. and we of course, will follow that very closely. this is a debate focused on the president, but it's also a debate about the, the democratic party. i'm,

i want to know from you because you have an ear to the ground. obviously. is this beginning to affect the democrats chances in the house and senate race is a november, so i'm glad that we're talking about this because everyone is so focused on the white house understand of the soul. but i think we're seeing this during, this is so cool. how important senate, the senate in the house are. and indeed the latest polls indicate that vide and might not only lose the white house, but taking the senate end of the house with them. and this would give up possible. next president donald trump nearly unlimited power, which i'm sure many i'm afraid off not only in the united states, but also around the world, especially with the latest supreme court ruling, which basically guarantees a president in unity for all actions. he takes as a president, so um,

i mean, i think we all assume, i think we all remember the storming of the capital and the role donald trump played and it or the praising words he finds for president to put in. so that is indeed a lot at stake here. now that was the w. washington very. and she's even full, always great speaking to you. thank you so much. i or israel's defense minister, he off go on, has updated law makers on the extent of the damage inflicted on him, off by the is really army since the start of the war and gaza who's speaking in israel's parliament fixed asset. let's listen it please. so, but, so we've eliminated a wounded, 60 percent of homeless terrorists who involve, we've disbanded $24.00 battalions. the vast majority of them shall we for 2 and half the hostages and are determined to return the rest at the shop. meanwhile, the is really army, has urged residents of parts of gaza city to evacuate. the military has dropped

leaflets, showing escape routes from the city. funerals have been held on wednesday for victims of and is really your strength on a school being used as a shelter in southern casa, as many as 30 people were killed in the attack near the city of on eunice, dozens of others were wounded. israel has been stepping up airstrikes and its ground assault against him. us militants, with often deadly consequences for civilians. these pictures from algebra, tv show the mainland to these radio strike, hit witnesses say with the un school to and shelter in about time. a town, yukon, eunice, on the ground, accounts told of fear and panic and civilian casualties of the by the school guides. 6 i went out to get there and so my children, when the strike happened, a huge explosion. people are flying in all directions,

never know ambulances that took about an hour to arrive. 2 israel's minute treat, told the reuters news agency. it was looking into the incident. it says it was targeting chemist policies in the area. and that is at the scene of the striking stress that the victims with civilians. lovely and without probably a warning luckett society towards a few people who were using the internet signal that they weren't side to is they didn't have weapons and they weren't involved in any resistance up of the nation. the civilians and most of the children and the these pictures show the extent of the devastation in hong units of to israel's campaign in the area. part of its response to the how mass up type of the 7th type of attack on southern israel. the dose ortiz say,

killed around 1200 people. and so hostages taken this latest as strikes as calm as the 2 sides resume efforts to secure a sea spot and hostage release promises won't. the israel is renewed. ground is sold and compartment could jeopardize talks. let's take a look down some of the other stories making news around the world. german foreign minister and elaina babble says she wants to focus on her current duties and is not planning to run for the top job. of chances are, again, she told us, broadcast or cnn that russia's war of aggression and the situation in the middle east need of more diplomacy, not the far right alternative for germany party, also known as a f. d has announced the formation of a new right wing group and the european parliament is made up of 25 m e p's from 8 countries, including 14, from the a. if the itself, a minimum of $23.00 legislators is needed to create

a new group. last month was the hottest june ever measured, breaking last year's global record. and as the heat waves continue even to july, people in many countries are feeling the effects. doctors weren't that extreme heat can be fatal of the 51 degrees celsius in counting people in mexico. has northern state of california, i used to sewing temperatures in the middle of the summer. but this time they exceeded the average readings by nearly 10 degrees, making new records, and bringing more hardship out of my age. it's very difficult. i'm 72 years old and i've lived here for 50 years or last. how do you deal with a sheet? well, i spend some time in an air conditioned room and outside. that's what we do. climate

scientists say not only the temperatures are getting higher, but also the stretches of holidays are getting longer. in portland, in the us state of oregon, people are trying to cool down as the cd seagulls, temperatures routine, 39 degrees celsius, or 100 foreign height. a long time residents says it's becoming the new norm. when we moved here, there was probably the really exciting and a big deal if there was like 5 days over 90 during the summer. so obviously these temperatures are a lot different than when we move. yes. such heat waves are increasing the region locations so the nor where the locals are unprepared. in calgary, in west and canada, authorities have issued

a heat warning local and jose, i trying to help those who may be well rebuilt. of the you can't go more than a few hours without without water and heat like this. and you start suffering some pretty, pretty serious health issues. and that's the sort of thing we don't want anybody to have to deal with folks that are out there on the street don't have easy access. so it's really important to have it, have it available to them. it's been a similar story around the world. experts say climate change has made huge waves, more frequent on practically every continent. the world health organization has found that extreme temperatures cause more depths worldwide than any other related factor. to you as author, jessica total has written extensively about climate change, and his most recent book is the heat will kill you 1st. i asked him what it was

exactly that made extreme heat so deadly. well, you know, what makes extreme heat. so it definitely is, you know, like all living things, human beings have thermal limits. we know our bodies function very well within a certain narrow range of temperatures. i think all of us intuitively understand that we all know that when we go to the doctor, the 1st thing the doctor does is take our temperature into our body. temperature is even elevated slightly. it's a sign of something wrong. so maintaining the stable temperature is really important, and all it takes is sort of, you know, a minor change in our internal body temperature and things start going. you get into danger zones very quickly. your heart starts beating fast. you're trying to circulate more blood to cool off, you start sweating. and you know if you're in good health and you can and you can handle that kind of increase metabolism and stress in your body, you might be okay as long as you cool off. but if you're have any kind of heart

problems or health other issues, once you're but you're, if it's tremendous strain on your body and, and, and if you don't get into a cooler space very quickly, you can be in big trouble very fast. that the longer and more intense heat waves have become more common in the last year, we've had record temperatures across the board. to what extent can we human, realistically adapt to a much warmer climate as well? i think the key word in that question is we humans, depending on, you know, who the we is in that sentence. certainly wealthy people who have access to reliable air conditioning, who can easily move around to cooler places, can thrive in, you know, a much warmer climate when people who do not have access to air conditioning, who live in onto an insulated homes or who can't afford to pay for air conditioning,

or even, you know, on house, people have, you know, there's a, a big variation in this, you know, you, on most of the ways people can survive on mars. and i'm sure you can, if you have billions of dollars and you know, incredible technological infrastructure. but in the real world, you know, i, in my book, i call a heat of predatory force. and it really is, it goes after the most vulnerable people, 1st outdoor workers, people who don't have an air conditioning don't have access to cool spaces. so this question is, what we can survive is, you know, the question really of simon justice and equity 2 years ago. you wrote that we still had a chance to turn this around to avoid a climb as catastrophe. now 2 years on, do you still believe that and what's in that case could be a recipe to get us out of here? well, 1st of all, you know, it is be very clear that the, you know,

the warming that we're seeing these extreme, he waves is longer of longer and longer duration and higher and higher temperatures are a direct result of burning more fossil fuels, which puts more c o 2 into the atmosphere, which is causing this warming. this is a very straightforward science. we've done it for you. no more than a 100 years. that's very clear. so the 1st thing you know that we need to do is to stop burning fossil fuels, and that is the one thing that is most urgent task right now in order to maintain the kind of hospitable planet. but i also want to underscore the, this is not it by an airy thing. this is not like we cross some threshold and all of a sudden the earth is uninhabitable, or all of a sudden we're doomed. every ton of c o 2 that we eliminate from putting into the atmosphere matters. if it keeps, it keeps it cooler. we are not on a kind of a doomsday or not kind of track. it's

a question of how bad we let it get. and the sooner we take action to cut fossil fuel emissions, the, the cooler our future will be and you've traveled all over the world for your latest book. is there one heat related story that stuck with you the most that you could briefly tell us? sure, i think i think the story, the stuck with me the most was the story of that. i'd tell in my book in the opening chapter of a, of a family who went for a hike in california on, on a hot day. they either were living in the foothills of the sierra nevada. not far from you. 70 national park. they knew was going to be hot, but they thought they were ready, they were perfectly healthy. they're in their thirties and forties and they didn't come home that night in their families became concerned and the search party went out and they found an entire family, a husband and wife, a one and a half year old child, and their dog dead on the trail and after, you know,

several weeks of investigation to find out what happened to them, it was clear that they all died of heat stroke. and that, that was a terrible tragedy and very heart wrenching, story to tell that it really underscores how he, we are all vulnerable to he and we are even in, in the wrong circumstances. it can kill all of us. and they control us quickly. and i think that that's really important to underscore, this is not a future event, a future risk. this is something that we all are in danger of right now. and i think understanding the urgency of thinking about it that way, not as a future event, but as a prep clear and present danger is really important. that was to go to author of the heat will kill you 1st from austin, texas. thank you so much. great speaking to you by saturday. and before we go, a quick reminder of our top story today. nato leaders have given an assurance that you bring will become a member of the alliance you as presidential binds,

as nato can, as will defend every inch of its territory. summit and washington is expected to plagues billions of dollars more in support for keith. they're with us now after a short break. i will be back to thank you for the day and i hope to see that the

dancing despite the 16 year old domino aspires to become stop to live his dream. he sees his native ukraine to germany. can you just keep on dogs? an international body competition puts his skills to the test. in 45 minutes on d, w the

conflicts and you do the same to tennis. she survived illustrates thanks to music. he was the nazis favorite conductor. he is martin, the degenerates to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about this sounds of power, inspiring story about survival of the home. go get the tennis. i was the only one who usually came nazi, germany watch now on youtube. dw documentary cost about why does that mean? because like now i'm lisa and the new host to

join us for an exciting exploration of everything in between. the most is a video and audio production by d w. i hope that you will tune in the at the nato summit in washington. russia's war of aggression is front and center. the alliance has promising more substantial aid for ukraine and the prospect of membership eventually. but another nuclear super power is looming large at the meeting. china is seen as one of russia's main enablers and the war against ukraine, but also as a major agent of destabilization in the in the pacific. as why nato has sought to strength and partnerships with democratic nations in the region. china is watching was on ease as australia, new zealand to japan, and south korea, get

a seat at the table and accuses nato stoke and con.
