the, the, this is the, the news coming july from berlin that says ukraine is pointing a reversible path to membership leaders at the blocks fifty's the 75th anniversary summit and also pledge billions in fresh a recent deliveries has helped install rushes, offensive, and eastern new crane near its 2nd city, crushing a trail blazing german, empty chooses to step down to spend more time with his family for revealing races. death, threats against him. we speak sur, carumba the out the about his decision and thing,

when football fans go wild as their side progresses to the euro, 2024 football final after meeting the netherlands to what the hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. a joint statement by nato's 32 members, dated says that ukraine is on a quote, irreversible path to membership. at the alliance of 75th anniversary summit, they also pledged 40000000000 euros of a to keep next year. current support ukraine is getting appears to be making a difference on the battlefield. following rushes, spring offensive with khaki in the cross hairs. nato partners gave you credit the green light to use the weapons they provided inside russian territory up to a point that's helps stall moscow's offensive, which some metal is c. as

a turning point of the aftermath of russian showing in the harkey region in early may, initial gains by russian forces seemed to catch you cleaned off guard and raised appears that ukraine 2nd city hockey could be in danger. potentially paving the way for another attempt to seize keith. it's thought that moscow strategy may have been to force ukraine to move its forces from the battled town of cha, cpr on the eastern front to the hockey region in the north. to enable a breakthrough in the doughnuts, greeted president below them. years of landscape vowed hockey would not be allowed to fall and appeal to keeps the western allies to drop some of their limits on the use of missiles on russian territory. in response, ukraine's western backers including the united states and germany, looked at some of their weapons restrictions previously seen as

a red line. the us said keith could now wire american made long range missiles, known as attack comes across the border into russian territory where many troops are stationed directly on the other side. some analysts say its been one of the bloodiest campaigns in russia's war on ukraine with up to hundreds of poorly trained russian soldiers being killed every day. but while ukraine and its allies focused on preventing hockey from falling russian forces did make advances in the east forcing the withdrawal of some ukrainian troops from cha, cpr. still cube has demonstrated it can adapt quickly maintaining its defenses and preventing russia from making deeper territorial gains. more of this, i spoke to gustavo russell, he is a senior policy fellow at the are being council on foreign relations. i asked for his assessment of where things stand on the battlefield in ukraine as well. there

are, there are some, some of the offensive, or the major offensive for this is still going all. um, i would not yet call uh, ukraine being on the other side of the hill. uh, i, i guess that will have some 2 to 3 months still. but they have to train the new recruits, recruits a personalized, quite, quite stretched. uh, fox, uh ukraine. uh, size patches, the russian offensive. uh, quite well so full. uh, some minor reset stuff they will mine on. um yeah, point by all to him. of course the tight uh could, could stall, i would say, but the, the thing is of course west and the systems are, is good for the end of the year or into the spring. but then we have the us presidential and latest latino elections. and we will have to see the international assistance gary's uh, from that, and i spelled the year on the phone. oh,

yes. given the circumstances, things look better. now, at the nato summit in washington that just wrapped up ukraine was told that it's past and to nato membership was quote, irreversible. but keith was not given a timeline for joining nato without such a timeline. commitment can we really say that keeps nato membership prospect have improved? this must really because the principal of the open door has been there since ever, basically on the fee. remember back of the infamous bucharest summit declaration that george and ukraine would join nature, but says nothing at all. i do not define point in the future. it is pretty much the same. well, on the other hand, um a political invitation. uh, where is a clause that is conditions are met with be of course has thrown a signal. but of course in practice you trained knows that as long as the voice ongoing in the core and face and age,

membership is pretty difficult to achieve. even the off top box of the signal, of course, uh uh, to the ukrainian population. that is, that is the important thing. these days that you train finds for its independence and find for its sovereignty. you frame uh, trying to choose a different path then a russian satellite uh full decades and they see natal membership as kind of the long term cru see and security guarantee that they will not be ever again a reference. that's a lot. and that's why and so there's the reason people thoughtful, they didn't die for any particular president or for political party that died for their kids growing up in a country that has chosen the pulse of independence. and. and so i think a, the stronger the signal these days, the best of l native members at the summit have pledged to stuff up delivery of f. 16 fighter chance to ukraine. how important are those jets for ukraine?

a very, very impulse, some deep voice. basically one of the under reported sides of this whole war. we have seen a devastating missile attack a few days ago of these cruise me. so i was can be intercepted by fi patrols. ukraine has not scientists in the a to cope with them. unfortunately, because their core in soviet era of sciences, very much worn out and the lack of a me sizes for these fighters, they don't have sufficient flights of controls, india to, to cope with the defensive counsel. jesus. the other thing is of course the to keep a russian find up on was a way for me ukrainian aerospace, that's an important task. and for this task is roughly estimates the ukraine needs about 80 operable scientists and we are on for centrally very much below the benchmark. now ukraine has been given permission to use some of his western weapons

to strike russian targets within a limited range of the border inside of russia. talk to us about the limitation, how significant is as well for ukraine, the listing of the previous limitation notes was frank ross at all was tremendously important because restaurants being a sanctuary. now of course they have a 100 kilometer range limit and of course, all the targets they strike inside russia with less than what comes down per year uh, arranged with, uh, a us and soon need to come on in germany uh the that agrees on the top is to be struck now uh the, the kind of individual uh, target coordination thing that works pretty well. and i think this limitation is more of a problem. the range limitation for ukraine is a problem, especially when we look at air base is a lot of the light bones, the tire russia,

come, drops out, flowing from braces inside russia are relatively curious to ukraine from the rest of funds on the bottom. i spend all of these area and here of course, are you brain would love to strike these out, but he has to move the russian scientists further away because the further away russian cycles, all stations, the more time that has to spend flowing in and out the see it to and come fly so many saltisha day and i but of course ease the pressure on a ukrainian from the lines. but it was on a series curious that a bullet or that a bombarded by the i phones pretty much on a daily basis. do you think that 100 kilometer limitation will be broadened? the ukraine might eventually be given permission to strike deeper into russia? i think it will. i are, you have to say that all these kind of general limitations make no military sense.

you have to look at and what's going on, what refers preparing, how much a given target plays a role in ukraine's defense is. and then i have to wait. the risk of allowing you train to strong keep was at the risk of allowing a target to be there and do with stuff. and whether you do that, whether you wait the risk on a target that is 30 kilometers away or 250 kilometers a may, doesn't really matter. and i think it'd be the target coordination that has been put in place with the ukranian since the beginning of the delivery of record of taylor assistance has worked for over 2 years and ukrainians have on their, their previous commitments. they know that if they don't, they don't get any supplies of these missile systems anymore. so of course, the reasons you all know that, and i think this kind of a case by case judgment is the best way to go. all these chimes general assumptions, basically just give the russians on idea of where to base that base their own

nation that we saw systems to be all side to strike range and do whatever they do and wanted you and b and b as it falls us into a debate on perceived russian red lines, stuff we, we have to cross again and again and again and again. so thank you very much for talking with us today. that was good stuff, russell, a senior policy fellow with the european council on foreign relations. thank you. i much i so let's take a look at some other stories. the 1st 2 here related to the native cell itself being present, you yokes your, the unit, so fuel and japanese prime minister from you can see the of metal on the sidelines for the nato summit. they agreed to continue security cooperation and voice concern of a growing ties between russia and north korea. thankful leaders are set to hold talks with the 2 leaders, a and counterparts from australia and new zealand. well,

native leaders have gathered at the white house for a social dinner with president binding toasting the neighborhood of nations. the gala uh, the trans atlantic alliance summit was scheduled to feature a fly over of us war planes. but organizers canceled the show due to the gathering of storm clouds. well, as us president joe biden was seeking to demonstrate this leadership qualities at the nato summit, pressure is mounting on him to a band and his bid for reelection. a blow came from actor george clooney who is also one of their leading fundraisers for the democrats in the new york times cleaning roach. we're not going to win in november with this president. that's not just my opinion. that's the opinion of every sen. member of congress and governor, i've spoken to in private and for us. how speaker nancy pelosi has refused to say whether she backs biden's cat or to see she said on m. s. nbc,

the decision is up to him, up to the president decide if he is going to run a 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 cost is. it's not for me to say i'm not the head of the clock is anymore, but he is beloved. she is respected and people want him to make that decision. securing the land, one of the only fro german lawmakers in the bonus tag and stepping down weeks after revealing death threats against him. carumba the i'll be says he wants to spend more time with his family and make way for younger talent in 2013 to be entered, the driven parliament on a wave of optimism, but his tenure has been overshadowed by races to tax dw. met him. that with him to

talk about his groundbreaking career, he was the 1st african born m, p to sit in the been the stag carumba, the abbey's political career, has since been beset by recess. the tax on death threats have disability. nobody's moving on to spend more time with families. he insists the extremists have not one is good now that's no advantage and exactly what the other sides, except that you are tired that you intimidated. i can only repeat that. i would not be intimidated because i know that the vast majority of people support me if that's a mission. in 2020 a, no one attacker saw the abby's office in the eastern german city of holla. last month, he published a chilling death threats sent to him. everyone hate you on wants to see you, burn it, read. i quote, you're all going to end up hanging from a lump. post vinny fairfield, if we don't publish it, the investigating authorities can't do that job. that's why a populace this and this case is extremely,

really depressing because my team is also black, made and fries. my team off dot braswell the on the door. would that he's not alone across to many politically motivated crimes have doubled in the last decade. but it seems like these mass protests against the far right alley of this year that offer him your group of when the group of people in this country who's practice the hatred and insight into these people exist. the group is a small group. they allowed their present, but you have to realize that the best majority of our society is open minded and tolerance. and the vast majority of fighting for cohesion in our society, you're going to man, hard to get for you to examine how was it a good sense of us living colleagues across paul them into paid tribute to his contributions and see his departure should be a wake up call. i really regret the tease retreating. we need his voice.

emerson, the, we need to think about changing this climate in our country. and it certainly won't be changed by aggressive language. the central, less politicians as part of the reason he's stepping down is to make space for the next generation. yup. and either i'm giving you a peer to these young people to join the parties, join the tribes, we didn't get involved and really participate in the elections and invited in our mitsubishi. i can, he's not quite finished. he will officially stand next election in late 2025, plenty of time then to make a difference and reflect on the state of german democracy. let's get more now on this from our political correspond to matthew moore who filed their report. matthew job himself says his decision not to run for office again was not prompted by the racism he's been facing. what do you make of the so

yeah, so sites every time the d, i be told us that basically the reason for this was, was, was not by don't predominantly racism, but really it was but family reasons. however, it's hard given that you know, the, the, the attacks that he's being subjected to over the years, especially the one that we mentioned in that report last month, not to, to ignore the fact that racism has played a role. kind of a big role in his political career. now he will be $64.00 when he wrote, when he reached on starting at the next election. so he is heading towards retirement. but ult, fundamentally, his story will be marked by this, this basically relentless, where he says on these attacks on his is constituency office that we saw there in the report. and also this, these death rates. right? and one thing to remember is that he's, he's, he's sitting in the heart of each job many in a place where the fees isn't quite a beach is growing in popularity there. and so he's the claimant in this country is really kind of, it's a, has, it has, has, has led to a situation where he is really kind of decided the time is enough,

is enough. i was struck that some of the interviews that we did with him and threatened to read that you've given he's really keen not to have the focus on the attackers and on the extremist. he says, but you know, for all the heat he receives, he also is use of a huge amount of solidarity from people when he says that as we do full testing, generally this year, the kind of showed the silent majority is there that it does condemn racism. or that it is told her in an open spot again, his message there was to the, to people to, to, to, to not to shy away, but to get more involved in politics. speaking a message, you were kind of message. what do you say that carumba, the obvious case, sends to people facing similar discrimination in germany, as it will surprise that his story has generated a lot of attention here in germany and around the world. and it's unfortunate because i mentioned this dentist is a bad one. right, he was supposed to represent modern german and inclusive jeremy. jeremy was comfortable in his own skin when he was elected. unfortunately, his,

he's been subjected to soft racism. and these attacks over the years, the ultimately, you know, it doesn't send that message. it sends a different message, but it comes in the context of growing ideological kind of attacks on politicians in germany. and we've seen a shift and the talked about this. we've seen a shift between people who would, who would write things to people who would carry out physical attacks. and he has been, unfortunately born a lot of the front of fox, your thoughts, politicians to shoot this week. and they said they should really be a wake up call for, for us as a country to, to really consider the twin that we use and to, to, to and to, to down the rhetoric. really, matthews, thank you very much. your reporting that was our political correspondent, matthew, more sports though in england have beaten the other ones to one in the semi finals of the euro. 2024 uh football championship here in berlin. chubby siemens opened the scoring for the duction just the 7th minute. but then harry came fired in

a penalty for england to make it one all. and in the 1st minute, the added time, all the watkins sealed the victory and of course england fans went wild at the final whistle. you unofficially team pencil. it's coming home, rang out in london and all over the country, england face pain in the final on sunday. to add some more of this, i'm joined now in the studio by my sports colleague, daniel barcelona, who has been following this tournament from the beginning. the english score, again in the dying moments of the semi final last night to beat another ones and book a place in the final against spain on sunday. what do you say that england's wind was well deserved? depends what you ask. i think netherlands, they will feel a little bit hard done by they had a few questions of the referee, especially on the penalty shot call. but that being said, those were the strongest side that england had played against. and it was a very,

it was very kind of evident that the beginning they started a little bit sloppy, another ones punish them right away, scoring, and early goal. but that being said, it was the best performance we've seen from england so far. and you can really see, especially in the 1st half, they were very quick and they're build up. they were very aggressive when they had the ball and when they didn't have the ball. and something that we saw is actually that when the pleasure of receiving the ball, they look to go forward. they look to attack instead of turning around and playing to the side or playing backwards. and that led to them creating a lot more opportunities and being very dangerous. and that's something that in england was actually criticized for throughout the tournament. and we saw also their quality that they have their side subs coming in, making a difference, scoring that last minute goal that we've seen them do so many times for the tournaments. so that's also a very positive for a team. and i turned him like the arrows, they have that momentum and they can win at the very last minute. so you mentioned sloppy. i mean, the english england team and the coach had been criticized throughout this

tournament for their performance. would you say that criticism is justified? oh yes and no because i mean you've got to kind of feel sorry for the guy because he's been criticized for his tactics for his pragmatism. his team selection, the timing of his substitution. you name it and he's in criticized for it. now i think that comes from the fact that england have one of the back sides in the tournament and in the world. so as a fan, as a spectator, people really want to see something more. they want to see more attacking play, but what you don't realize is that in international football and in tournaments you don't have the time with your team to be able to really instill a style of play of formation. so that leads to change being a little bit more effective, let's say. so what do you have to do? you have to minimize the opponents opportunities on your goal. you have to not take too many risks and you have to kind of get through and do what it takes to win. now that being said, it's effective, it's not so pretty on the eye. sometimes you want to see more from these players.

but what can you really say to south gate? you know, he's made it to the euro's final 2 times in a row to the semi finals, 3 or 4 tournaments. so as an england fan, what do you want? do you want to play a good football and not win anything? or do you mean you want to do what it takes, turn it football, and when a trophy let's look ahead to the final on sunday. it's going to be played here in berlin. it's going to be england versus spain. what can we expect? well, spain, definitely the favorite side, i think coming into this one throughout the tournament. they've looked the best in terms of their performances and how they played as a team, everything positive across the board. you know, their high brands, they're creative, they play attacking football. so it's really a side that has also players that can change the game an instant. and so you think that they have a good chance, but you cannot disqualify england because they yes, they were unimpressive. in the naco stage, or in the group stages,

but they've gotten progressively better throughout the naco, say just, and that's what you want to do. as a team in a tournament, they have that momentum. they have the capability to go down in a match and cloth from behind and get a victory. and they have the quality and the depth and experience in players to be able to give span a very good game. and also when the tournament plus in a final one gave you never know what happens, it's going to be tens, it can go either way in this one, some of the tournaments so far of all these teams playing well, great teams, many of them would you say the best 2 teams will be playing in the final. um, i think it's very, that's a very hard question. i guess i think spain, of course, because in terms of the way they've been playing, they've been amazed. they've been amazing and they obviously deserve to be there. they've also beaten teens on the way to the final like germany, france, italy, croatia, that is no easy run. so definitely from that side span deserve to be in the final

england. have one of the strongest slides on paper and if you look at what this team has done over the years under south gate, they've constantly gotten very, very close. so and with this crop of players and this golden generation, as we would say, you kind of think they wouldn't deserve to win. so yeah, i think from one side, the 2 best teams are in the final, maybe not in terms of performance as you've seen them get there in different ways. but you can't complain about who we see in the final. germany was very eager to host this tournament. uh, they wanted to recreate the wonderful atmosphere that the country experiences experienced when it hosted the world come back in 2006 as this tournament been good from just a football point of view. i think it's been good from many point of views. actually i've had the, the fortune to be able to go to many games and many fans owns across jeremy throughout this tournament. and i can tell you that the over whelming sentiment has

been extremely positive. you know, we saw so so many fans here. it was actually pretty feasible. i mean there were a couple of encounters between fans that, that happens all the time. and fans were extremely pleased with. we saw some great, great match ups the tournament. yes, we did see some lack luster performances, but as we already talked to and that's what it takes sometimes to get a win. and that's the approach that some teams take. but ultimately i think it's a positive tournament. and the final will be a big one. tony barcelona from dw sport, thanks so much. i a watching dw noticed just remote at the top stories were following for you this. our nato members have pledged 40000000000 euros of a to ukraine. next year. recent deliveries appeared to be making a difference on the battlefield and khaki comes after. the lions gave ukraine the green light to use the weapons they brought provided within the limited range in russia itself and nato's 75th anniversary. so it ended with

a joint statement saying ukraine was on an irreversible half to joining the lines of next it's conflict. so on terry martin from me and all of us here in the dw, thanks for one, the
