a commitment to natal. told transatlantic alliance on all the contributions over spain, the 2 hour. the turns on the fence. many thanks to you without a let me. thank that me dar for being present at the beginning of the meeting, and we will continue in just a moment. all right, i so you're watching the live pictures there from that nato summit in the spanish capital madrid. let's just go back to a james bay's archived. magic editor was a monitoring events that james, we heard from the spanish are prime minister paras sanchez there about sweden and finland membership, strengthening native. but what more did president biden earlier have to say about this? increase in u. s. force posturing across nato countries. what's he giving to nato? what he's giving more resources to nato has been announced from the u. s. president . he's going to have currently there are 4 guided missiles, destroy is

a spanish base us base and spain the road to the right to naval base. there are 4 and that's going up to 6. he's also going to send 2 additional f, $35.00 squadrons, u k. he's going to stand up a new army headquarters in poland. now, when, when you look at the various nations. ready on the east and flank of nato close to russia, the lead nation, the head of the battle group in poland is the u. s. so they're increasing that that troops. ready area where they have responsibility. they also have troops in romania, they'll be an additional rotational brigade in romania and were told that be an extra $3000.00 troops on rotation. and then also our homes that rotational deployments to the baltic. so certainly what we've heard before that nato is trying to reinforce. ready it's eastern plank is happening, but i have to say there are some questions about this as well. nato has said that

it's rapid response forces of the nato response force. ready is going to go from 40300000. that's pretty impressive. but i haven't seen the sums yet where all those troops coming from. and we haven't gotten the the detail yet. it's been announced. but we don't know quite how they, how they reach that figure of 300000. with regard to these battle groups that are on the eastern flank, they are going to assign a troops extra troops to these. but in some cases, those troops will do the training in the new location, little about the loan, the local terrain, but they won't actually base that they'll be on call in their home countries. so there are some question marks about the things that nato is, is, is announcing to yes, but clearly what you saw just a moment ago was important because you saw that, that meeting around the table with a 30 nato allies. and the, the thing that's happened, which i think is pretty important,

is those 30 nato allies almost certainly now going to be 30 to nato alice or i to order my to get is a james, my life was there in madrid. james, thank you. well, the ukrainian president, us call for the united nations to expel russia. vladimir lensky. address the security council a day after russian missiles it a shopping center in the ukraine in city of credential killing 18 people lansky shed video, which he said shows the building was the intended target. moscow says it hit a near by weapons deeper, but a subsequent explosion triggered a fire at the mall. kristen salumi as more from the united nations, ukrainian president vladimir lansky, called russia a terrorist state, and demanded that the united nations expel it from the international body during an emergency meeting of the security council. in an emotional speech, he called for a moment of silence. after reciting the names of some of the civilians killed in recent days, including children and the elderly. i have a question for you ladies and gentlemen,

who if you does not agree that this is terrorism. if any other parts of the world, any organization acted just like russia who is killing ukrainians, if they kill peaceful people, that would definitely be recognized as terrorism. russia joined the other council members and standing for that moment of silence, but took no responsibility for the deaths and said, accusing ukraine of waging and information war in an attempt to get more weapons from the west. he said it was weapons, not a shopping mall that was targeted in the city of command ship. we are listen, eco will dark when you, when you, unless you in reality there was no strike on the shopping center. the russian armed forces use precision weapons to strike hangers with western weapons and munitions received from the united states in europe and countries in the area of the crumb and shook road machinery plant. those weapons and ammunition were spread throughout the warehouse area for further shipment to ukrainian troops in don bess was still a group of western council members, accused russia of attacking residential areas and civilian infrastructure in recent
