everything was going falling between us, but now there will be tensions that certainly will. it is obvious and inevitable. i repeat, if they represent a threat to us, the only hint this unity came from president or the one who'd lifted his objections to finland and sweden's membership bids on tuesday night. after a deal was reached between the 3 on measures that could lead to the extradition of members of kurdish groups wanted in turkey, he warned that if he didn't see swift action on those commitments, while the membership ratification process could yet be held up in the turkish parliament in his closing comments, nato secretary general described a world that is more dangerous and unpredictable, and he wore the things could get worse. a summit that took in climate change terrorism and the weaponized zation of space seldom strayed far from the russian threat. joan, a whole al jazeera madrid and ukrainian official says at least 17 people have been
