small systems weapons, equipment that allies neutralize, are not delivering to ukraine. germany made announcements, norway made announcements and other countries made announcements for additional support media to support to can the netherlands also made announcements on more heavy weapons to, to ukraine. so part of this is something we do. it's also of the message in deeds, but also in words those indeed. but i think also it's very clear that eyes are prepared for long haul. it was, wars are unpredictable, but you have to be prepared for it all. and doctors, all that was on the message to all of us in the room from presence and get our answer was yes, we are prepared because they are fighting for their independence. but they're

also fighting for values which are important for the filament, for the sovereignty, the total integrity of every nation on the on. therefore, these matters for our security and our folks now is to support ukraine. this war will, as most of the wars psalms stage and at the negotiating table. ah, but it is important that ukraine is able to get an agreement on their terms, which is acceptable for ukraine. and therefore, we know that there's a very close link between what they can achieve around the negotiating table, and there's things on the battlefield. and therefore our focus is to support them on the battlefield with many different types of little unknown, little support. that is the focus and then of course we have double started today that natal door remains open and we also reiterate the decision made into christ on membership for you train spanish television. that was 9 seconds generally installed,

but best speaking at the nato summit in madrid. russia is the most significant and direct threat to allies security. he said, nature has responded with strength and unity. ukraine. he said, can count on us for as long as it takes eyes will deploy. so additional forces on eastern flank they've agreed to increase may so common funding of also endorsed a new strategic concept to address the threat of terrorism as cyber attacks. let's go live to madrid. antwan diplomatic correspondent james base diplomatic editor. i'm sorry, james, who has, who's been watching that too. what did you make of it, james? well, important announcements coming from nato as they have been for some hours now. now the formal invitation has come to finland and sweden to join nato, to become

a member straight away. there's a whole process of ratification that takes a bit of time in many countries. it has to go through national parliaments, but an important moment also adopted the new 10 year plan for nato. the strategic concept. let's discuss this and other issues i'm joined by the foreign minister when you gabrielle is lance burgess. first, your reaction to what has happened in the last hour or so formal invitation to 2 countries that are new to your own country. well, strategic steps have been taken today and alliance has proven to the members of alliance and to the world that it's ready for the, for the threats and challenges of the 21st century. many have been wondering before whether it be aligns to has a purpose. it's not the brain that the lions as it was, the microphone as it was mentioned. yes. but the questions were that, and i think that all of them were answered today, where able just to teach equally, address the issues of current days. as you know,

presidents lensky spoke to nato leaders that was not broadcast life, but the cranium released the video. he said off to ukraine, who will be next. and then he said russia wants to slave lithuania. is nato doing enough to protect your country? well, president zaleski mentioned that it's, it's not the war against the cry, and it's the war against the west sentiments of what, in that sense, against nathan, it's checking nato. and as the countries of on the border with the russian and beller us, we were the ones who are a possible we crane and probably the most heavily affected by, by the war. and therefore, we looked into the, into the summit as well to provide us for additional security guarantees for the countries on, on the, on recent fund. i can tell you that the subs have been taken, obviously, as it is understandable, you know, coming from, if any we would like to see more faster decisions. but obviously that ground has been laid for, for strengthening leasing in defense and the baltic states. your country recently

been threatened by russia. there is an enclave of russia called colleen grad to get supplies, that there's a train line that goes through territory. that's the only way they can get things that you've been imposing the sanctions that russia doesn't like that. are you that the country and nato most at risk right now? well, 1st of all, it's a misconception that there's, that the only way to supply calling about this really thing it can be easily supplied by c and to poland. it's the same, same rule. it's actually going from us to my opponent to, to kill anyway. so obviously the thing was chosen as, as a target because it's a small country, easy to believe seemingly and trying to press lithuania and actually and european union to reduce and remove some of the sanctions. or at least some of the explanations how sections should work. so we are in process with consultations with europe in commission of how best to address the situation. but currently about 0.7 percent of a traffic that goes from russia to clinic. being stopped by why we think we're

seeing more forces now being deployed by nato. particularly on these eastern flank, we're seeing the americans deploying more forces. it's interesting that i looked at the figures. in lithuania, you have in terms of allied troops supporting your lithuanian army. 17200. when you look at poland, it's 122500. i mean, is this all being spread fairly well? what i can tell from our perspective is that we believe about the territory between russia and bell is commonly known as well. quoted or is a particularly vulnerable cetera. so therefore, we would always like to be it to be addressed. specifically when we're talking about, you know, which points need to be need to be strengthened. but my belief is that the german promise of bringing a caling up battalion that is currently in the brigade level is a sufficient deterrent and the possibility of defending also this. well,

let me just look at that promise because yes, they say they're going to allocate more troops. they will be trained in lithuania, they'll learn your local terrain. but many of those neutral tricks won't be permanently face that we face don't generally that you go on cold streets is not good enough. well, the promises that once latrina is ready to accept them, they will be stationed in pena. this is, this is the promise that we got from john government and we will be doing everything in our power that we would be ready in 2 or 3. yes. to accept the german brigade, the only thing now for permanent notation to the permanent residence. you know that recently the stoney and prime minister said that if russia invaded natal currently would have to let the baltic countries fall and then get more reinforcements in from, from other nato nations 6 months later try to liberate your countries. i mean, do you think that has changed as a result of the announcements?

what happened here today? that was a strategy ah, sort of, you might call it a defense strategy, but it's not a defense strategies, you know, kind of seizing the territory and then trying to regain it after the 2014. now it's changing. now we're talking about about defending every inch of nita territory and when your defendant re insert me said you cannot let it go, we kind of see that there. you have to fight where in a, where the attack happens. and to think of it, especially, well the troops of estonia, latin latina, they will be defending the territory in case of an attack, sounded now it's a reasonable expectation that our allies stand shoulder to shoulder with us. final question, how do you think vladimir putin watching all this? i'm sure he is in the kremlin, will view what has happened here in the trip? well, from our perspective is a huge loss to him. a strategic loss that he, that rushes, this is facing. maybe the yes, some advisors that probably can explain it to him as a, some sort of a strategic ah win. but i don't think that they are being honest gabriella lens

book is the foreign minister of lithuania. thank you very much for joining us. on our jazeera lithuania, as i say, one of the baltic states, one of the front line states closest to russia. and those are the countries that really, we've been talking about most the day at this nato summit, which continues some of nato's part the nations are now meeting in the coming house . will be back with you james. a little later in this news. our for the moment, many thanks. did our diplomatic get us a james base there live in madrid, when ukraine's president has called for the united nations to expel russia. vladimir zalinski addressed the security council after russian missiles hit a shopping center in the cranium. city of graham and shook, killing 18 people. so lensky showed video that he says, shows the building was the intended target. moscow says it hit a near by weapons depot, and that a subsequent explosion triggered a fire at the model. i'll just hear as chris from salumi reports from the united nations, ukrainian president vladimir the landscape 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 have 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 death, instead 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. but listen, you will that 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 criminal cook road machinery plant. those weapons and ammunition were spread throughout the warehouse area for further shipment to cranium troops. in dawn bass fil a group of western council members accused russia of attacking residential areas and civilian infrastructure. in recent days, a un official noted the latest wave of air strikes and muscle attack happens far from the front lines, killing or injuring many civilians. according to the un since the start of the conflict, 4700 civilian ukrainians have been killed and other 5900 injured and those are just the casualties who have been verified british social lives. given maxwell has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping the financial jeffrey epstein, sexually abuse under age girls. she was convicted in december, the recruiting and grooming girl for epstein during the $990.00 s and early 2,

the program will hear how ecuador was president survived that impeachment attempt. why he's pulled out of talks and protests against the government. nearly a quarter of the people in hong kong say they're ready to leave, can it still leader? persuade them to stay? we'll find out that it's for a time, a return to form for this olympic champion. ah, fully u. s. president donald trump wanted join his supporters as they stormed the capital . the stone congress certifying jo biden's victory. that's the testimony given by a former white house aide who appeared at a hearing and to last year's riots. the aid said the trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the presidential vehicle, but he was told that he wasn't being driven to the capital building on to cirrus hydro. castro reports for washington had,

we're going to the capital on january 6th, 2021. president donald trump did not accompany his supporters to the capital to disrupt the certification of his election loss, but he wanted to thank you very much. according to cassidy hutchinson, the 1st former trump white house employee to testify publicly. trump finished his stop. this deal, speech bored at his limousine and was surprised to learn from his security chief bobby angle that their destination was the white house. the president said something to the effect of, i'm the effing president, take me up to the capital now. to which bobby responded, sir, we have to go back to the west wing. the present reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. mr. trump then used his free hand to lunge towards bobby angle. and mister, when or not, i had counted the story to me, he had motioned towards his clavicles. hutchinson did not see the episode herself,

but said she heard it from tony or nato. the former white house chief of operations and with angle present the president of the anecdote was the most startling of many shared by the former white house ada, today's hearing one that was urgently announced after the committee said it received new evidence, white mail police audio from january 6, revealed guns had been spotted among the crowd, gathered near trumps, rally hutchinson said backstage she heard trumps say the event should not have had metal detectors. i ever heard the president say something. i don't think that they have weapons. they're not here to hurt me. the ensuing violence contributed to the death of at least 7 people and injured 150 police officers. hutchinson said she watched the riot unfold from the white house, just doors down from trump. she recounted this conversation between her boss, chief of staff, mark meadows, and the white house is top lawyer. i remember pat,

say, mark, we need to do something more. there literally calling from the vice president to be i think, hong and mark had responded something to the effect of you heard him had, he thinks like a girl that he doesn't think they're doing anything wrong. the he was trump. according to hutchinson testimony, she said, trump was reluctant when he called off the riders more than 3 hours into the violence. we have to have peace. so go home, we love you, you're very special. trump weighed in on tuesdays hearing, saying he hardly knows hutchinson and denied many of the accusations. hutchinson also says meadows and at trump's former personal attorney, rudy giuliani. both thought presidential pardons and she says many members of trump's inner circle were concerned that the cabinet would use the 25th amendment to remove trump from office. committee members say they've seen concerning signs of

witness tampering. the plan at least 2 more of these hearings in july, heidi jo, castro, al jazeera washington. let's bring in richard trustee who is a profession professorial lecturer of the department of political science, george washington university. he joins us now. live voskus for washington. good chevy with us. richard, what do you make of for cassidy hutchinson's trustworthy? well, what cassidy hutchison provided was a very granular and visceral, a testimony about what actually happened within the context of january 6, a fair. and you know, if you look at a scheme of the white house, you see that mark meadow's office is in the left hand corner and her office is right next door to here in the oval office where she heard a commotion reportedly,

a taking place with planks being thrown against the wall after attorney general william bar to president trump, the election was found that any accusation of stealing the election was nonsense. this. this gives us a really on the grounds appraisal of the president state of mind and of the chaos and what, how different actors within that context of what their behavior was about. and so what she's telling us essentially is that she's giving us a lot of father for a lot of evidence that the president has basically demonstrated of what you might think of us. and then the praise didn't difference the human life

in the context of what happened here in terms of his lack of concern for mike as well. there is lack of concern for the welfare of the democratic leadership and seemingly out of control behavior in the white house limo known as the beast because it's so big and heavy where he was was reported to have to grab the steering wheel of the car because he was frustrated about being driven by the capitol recruit, according to kennedy hutchinson's testimony. the president knew his support as well armed and probably intended to cause harm, and yet he still directed them to the capital. did the president and his advisors now face whitening legal exposure? thanks to this testimony?

well, one, no one, no possible charge that has been recorded in the washington post for the january 6th insurrection has been obstruction of justice in terms of the plan to rail the certification process for the election of president biden. but there are several charges that could be leveled against the president, and that includes sedition. that includes a conspiracy charges it a host of different charges that that could be leveled against the president. and there are charges. i mean, it goes back quite a bit. there charges that can unrelated to the january 6th in terms of

broad where by white white house officials a key to raise money to build the wall. and this was just a fraudulent exercise. so there are a host of different charges. but within the context of january, say, you have some bare very fundamental charges. what's interesting about hutchinson, she's very young and she got to where she was in terms of doing internships with ted cruz and with minority with in the house of representatives, representatives. steve's the lease and she is not hesitant at all on like a low the white house council and mark meadows himself who are essentially defying congressional salinas can tell it as it is as it was. and

so she is giving us some very compelling testimony, and she was very, according to reports, dissatisfied with not only the overall tenor of response, but with mark meadows in particular, who seemed somewhat disengaged. when told that the president was essentially signing off on people with weapons and there were reports of lost style weapons. they are inside of weapons. and that she was a irritated which in what initially appeared to be a basically disconnected what was happening. richard, really good talk to you many thanks to the to being with us, which is just how the, the in washington thank you, lisa for with people protesting against the government and peruse capital lima, the demonstrators, an amount that president federal kasteel increased teacher salaries and support for

pensioners astir himself as a former teacher and union leader. but he's faced political good luck on rest since taking office last year, truck drivers of declared an indefinite strike until morristown to tackle higher fuel prices. and dozens of truck drivers in argentina have blocked a major access road to the capital in protest against fuel shortages of rising prices. caused what backed up for several kilometers until the demonstration agree to open up one lane to point us out as the government has promised to guarantee the supply of fuel, which has been restricted by the war in ukraine. hey, marcella, charlie ice. sheila, we continued suffice on the idea is to bring the voice of all truckers who a mobilizing nationally on the diesel issue and on the issue of rights. we want performing prices to start at minimum rice and to include a trigger clause that when fuel prices increase fuel. so do al, right? i'm in a kudos president of survived and impeachment vote and suspended negotiations with

striking indigenous groups. several people have died and violence during demonstrations or the shortages of food, an oil, or latin america editor lucille newman, reports from kito. o. indigenous strikers gathered outside of kito basilica, reacting angrily toodle to meet him issued by ecuadorian president key and more lasso. oh ha, ha, ha, ha ha, thank god, i hope we will radicalize our strike. we won't leave quito without results. long lived the struggle. ha ha! into the 3rd week of a crippling, nationwide strike, led by the confederation of indigenous peoples. it appeared that negotiations with the government inside the basilica were making headway. but in overnight attack, against a military convoy, escorting fuel from the oil which amazonia region left one soldier dead and 12 injured. the government blames the confederations leader lonely thus isa. who in turn suggests it was the army that attacked an indigenous community. first allow

him president lasso rushed to end the talks battle normal with him, or has him thermal. hello. that we will not sit down again at the negotiating table with lenny does he sing? who only defends his own political interests and not those of his union members. indigenous brothers, man, you deserve better than this opportunistic leader who has deceived you and the entire country. ah, the ultimatum is seen by many indigenous communities. as a declaration of war, ramos are one. we are going to resist him until the last consequences we want surrender. if we have to die, it will be standing up is not on our knees any while the national assembly prepared to vote on a no confidence vote. against law, so you know, your own, the leader of the legislature, appeal to the president, to return to the negotiating table. the president strategies obviously, to try to divide the until now united indigenous breakers. but it seems unlikely that they will want to turn their back on the charismatic leo need as isa,

at least in the short term president lasso has refused to cave, into demands to lower fuel prices. and repeal a decrease that expands mining in indigenous regions rather than put on them for cannibal. sooner or later, the government will have to understand the situation is unsustainable. and given the situation of ungovernable to here is dramatic value. but lasso is remaining firm knowing full well that in the last 26 years, 3 ecuadorian presidents have been forced out with the help of the combative indigenous movement to see a newman al jazeera kito. we're approaching the midway point in this news. alan got a wonderful cast, his kara hello there. he continues to dominate the story across the middle east, in particular for western areas of iran. we've seen temperatures pick up to nearly 50 degrees here and they will continue to rise. iraq to similar story. lots of hot conditions. baghdad,

a historic summit, projecting unity and strength in the face of a news read. this conflict in ukraine is not a regional issue. it's a global struggle between democracy and they'll talk hassey. nato is rewriting its own playbook, boosting battle ready troop numbers across its eastern flank and with plans to vastly increased. rapid reaction force numbers from 40002300000 troops by 2023. russia's deadly attack on a shopping molding. se ukraine on monday for shadowed this summit until recently considered a nato partner, russia will, for the 1st time since the cold war officially be re designated an enemy threat. we meet in the midst of the most serious security guards says so we have faced the since the 2nd world war president zelinski appealed as he does relentlessly at

international events. football help time in the team with him. i'm not about guys, and he was the leaders present that russia's next move may be against one of them. and nato is determined to do what he can offering a further package of non lethal assistance. this defensive alliance, careful not to be seen to be joining the conflict. but we never wanted to have an escalation with russia. all we want is to live in peace in europe. and therefore, we are making crystal clear that we are ready to defend our self. and preparing all this truck so, so for what we need, the summit began on a high note after arms and security agreement was reached, allowing turkey to lift its objection to bids by sweden and finland to join the alliance. so sweden and finland attend this summit as official invitees. their membership bids approved by all 30 leaders to be ratified by national parliaments

in the coming months. turkey said it got what it wanted, while so did nato able to project both the united and expanded front and gaining superiority over russia in the baltic region. president biden announcing and expanded us military presence in europe, said the airlines had never been so galvanized a major shift to a state of readiness for whatever turns russian aggression may yet take. jonah, how al jazeera madrid once again go live to madrid. diplomat to get a to james bay is, is at today's house on, at james very important developments that have been taking place in recent hours here. adrian, at the nato summit. let's discuss some of them with my gas. crystal please can, is the chair of the munich security conference. he's a veteran diplomat, former german ambassador to the united nations for foreign policy adviser to angular medical. so you've seen what's happened in terms of new nato forces,

moving to different places, sweden and finland finally signal long time, but they are find the invited to join nato. how important are these developments and how, what ridge do you think clinton will be by all of us? well, 10, 1st, this is really a check. we have sweden and finland for years. they didn't even think about joining nato and now putting aggression against ukraine, putting invasion into a country without any justification. mason say, listen times have changed. we have to do something about security. we have to protect ourselves and they joint, they joint nato. and this is an important step, and it's part of the read juvenile probation of need to i had hoped that we don't meet this, but we need strong nato now and with finland and sweden joining, it's really be even stronger. so it's good news. the u. s. said being more forces, the u. s. is doing all the heavy lifting, isn't it?

doesn't europe need to do a bit more? absolutely, we have a, a very good transatlantic alliance. president biden has been phenomenal. the administration also to embrace your to work together. but we have to step up to the plate in europe and we have now in my own country, in germany, really what we call it, fighting vend chain to the times. we're now defense spending will go rapidly up. we will have more troops also ready for rapid reaction. we are sending weapons to support ukraine. something that would have been up and think about a year ago. so there is changes. what does put in think about it. you know, it's very difficult to, to, to put yourself in put in because if you were putting, you would have not committed this to pity to, you know, to, to have an aggression against an independent country. that was part of the soviet union. that was where russia itself actually in u r a u n. correspond that,

you know, ukraine is a founding member of the united nations, and there's russia, another founding that me attacking one and denying its existence. so this is something that this, this is dramatic. what is happening and putting i hope it's impressed by the unity he sees in confronting the way that he has broken international law. so we've seen the military developments here in your country, germany before this, at the g 7. that was developments on the economic front and sanctions, all sorts of strong talk. but that didn't seem to be anything that was particularly new in all of this. and when they did try and do new things, a ban on imports of gold price caps on russian oil and gas, they didn't actually manage to agree that they just that will keep talking. well, we already have 6 rounds of sanctions in place and they're tough sanctions rusher, basically is cut of all high tech import and they have not developed and putting over the decades has developed 2 things,

military weapons and fox are few and that's it. so they're dependent on, on the imports, on electronic equipment, etc, and they suffer. and what is new? the solidarity is new. it was very important to also that the g 7 received leaders from other countries to 7 committed also to help alleviate the consequences from russian aggression in terms of you know, the problems we've faced with. we faced with them enough food stuff, getting to, to people also committing to climate change and committing in general funds for bigger big investment products in also the global south. so there was a lot of strong messages coming out of and you mentioned other countries, one that was that was indonesia. they had the g 20. yes. they've got a bit of a nightmare. have a name because the g 20 has the u. s. on it,

it has brush on it that big some they've invited ukraine. we've got a g 20 foreign ministers meeting and just 8 days time. in 5 minutes, the last off of russia is going to bother you for that. as a senior diplomat is advised, the former german leader. what on earth would your advice to western leaders attending the g 20? do they turn up? do they sit around the table? if i were indonesian i would look after the guy who got to the spot of that year that we have the presidency. indonesia has a tradition of being non line, so they of course have to walk a very tight drove what. what do they do? i think that from their perspective was a smart move to say, ok, we in we invite to teen after all, russia is part of g 20, but we invite so lensky is the same thing. but we believe that putting who has violated international law, who has he is he should be an outcast of the civilization. he should not be invited

. now when he's there, the others have to see what is happening. what must not happen is that putting succeeds in killing the g 20, so i'm against the boycott of g 20 because this is the would be another victory of, of putting and i'm against people are feeling the effects of this war around the world. so finally, let me ask you about the global food crisis, which is impacting people around the world. and do you get the perception potentially, that some people are beginning to look at? people like nature having these big meetings, sending more troops and thinking. this is nature's fault, not rushing. if this is an extremely important point, you know, i was, you mentioned that i was a master at nato at the you and i know a lot of colleagues and when i talk to them, sometimes i believe, well, are we following the same stories? half the realize some of my colleagues said it was rusher that invaded ukraine

without any justification violating all international cheated or what is happening here. and i think it's very important that we make it very clear what is the cause and what is the consequences. and it's a cause for the food crisis is roger rusher. invading ukraine, ukraine, who has been a major export of grain to africa, and this is no longer possible because rusher is blocking ukraine. and i think this is something that also people have to look at and people have to see who is responsible and what are the consequences about the crystal, please get the meaning security conference. thank you. talking to al jazeera, always useful to get the opinions of someone who was a shrewd observer of international affairs, but also has been that alongside those many, some it's near the top table of international affairs. adrian diplomats get, it's
