just together asked the alliance. the child is just that they're also trying pulses to our security straight to nate her age q in brussels and where we joined dw correspondent teddy showed welcome terry. so we just heard you had stolen about saying, no new cold war with china. so how will nato respond to china's more assertive nature? hi, feel. well, in the end, what nato has to work with at this point is words. china doesn't directly threaten nato. it is simply all of these different activities that secretary general stalsen bring listed that has allies, very concerned. china spends on its military far more than european allies. it has the 2nd largest military in the world after the united states. and it already has the largest navy. so this is not something that a military alliance can ignore. as tilt and berg mentioned, they are not happy with china's anti democratic behavior. and the message in the

final communicate will be to china that if you are going to be a major after on the international state, you need to act responsibly in line with international norms. ok, so with terry, because of course china isn't maiter's only challenge and we'll hear from german chancellor, the angular medical alliances, other big problem. and as soon as the door come, the leading hybrid challenges are becoming increasingly significant, such as cyber attack, especially when it comes to russia. of course, this information campaigns, this partner in many nato allies, including germany, also affected by this is in due to us. we will talk about the situation in ukraine while we are also seeing big challenges and about the co operation between nato and countries like georgia and ukraine organ caught, you know, vendor. and we will, of course, speak about the threat, such as we are seeing in belgrade, where human rights are being trampled on. so, terry, shelter,

you are saying that as far as china goes tough, a words from nato. what about russia? what form is nato's response likely to take? well, certainly with russia, it's a different question because russia borders, nato allies, several nato allies directly threatened by moscow regularly. so it's certainly had a greater geo political stake in what moscow is doing at the moment. but again, there have been many, many very strong statements against russian behavior and it hasn't seem to have any impact. the relationship is going nothing but down. so in fact, at this point, they will likely reiterate those messages. but all eyes are really on this meeting . on wednesday between president biden and putin, and i can definitely say that as president biden heads into this meeting in geneva, he is carrying the wishes of european allies on his shoulders. they all want to see very, very strong statements from president biden, drawing some lines in the sand and telling russia it may not go further. it needs to stop these malign activities. so president biden is in europe over the next few

days, essentially telling europe in leaders that they, the usa is back and is committed to its international obligations. so here at night, so we hearing about concrete actions from the us or is he just telling them more of what they want to hear? well, in terms of security fail, words aren't meaningless. the words that president trump issued against nato were really hurtful to the alliance and didn't fact create a lot of the business. so when, when president biden comes back and says over and over again, the u. s. is back, the u. s. is there, the u. s. will defend its nato allies. it does mean something. it's not just atmospheric that does create more of a sense of security among these allies who are bound to go to war for each other if necessary. and, and the truth is that during the trump administration, he didn't make a lot of changes on the ground even though he threatened to. so most

u. s. reassurance measures physically are still in place and everybody is, is very much welcoming these the words from president bite and that tell them if needed we will use our defense mechanisms to protect you. our allies. thank you for that territory. show that nature headquarters in brussels and the german marshal fund is a nonpartisan policy organization that's aimed at strengthening trans atlantic ties . dr. carina 1st is deputy director of the brussels office and joins us now. welcome. dr. natal leaders are working towards an up dated strategic a concept. how is that likely to be different from its current form drafted in 2010? good afternoon. thank you for having me. it is hugely the friends, as after 10 years, it was really time to update this list done into 2010. they came up focus

on terrorism, and the g cutoff depends lee, that was seen as a stress and actually was very much engaged with the plasma conversation with russia 11 years later when a very, very different place. so this year, really focusing on how a rivalry and china is one of them, the hybrid that i'm going to mention. and then the climate change that is up to now having picked up by nato. and it's actually interesting because in the recent transatlantic tends to be from the german massive funds. climate is also seen by the general population. and, well, countries as you know, one of the key security challenges. so it's the timely endeavor that they had. so states are made, so i gave them today. ok, let's talk about the hybrid threats that i'm going to, michael mentioned, because one does wonder if nato is the right tool for that particular job. when we talk about hybrid threats until the election interference and malware attacks and,

and disinformation campaigns, that's not really nato sphere of influences. it it isn't, it is not i think for me, it is one of these, some fact message that really points to the need that they collaborate with other partners multilateral organizations, as europe, in the european union, but also the private sector. i think it is good that nature is that of picking it up because again, i see nature as one of the key multilateral organizations where the united states is very closely working together with europe and europe and the u. s. leading in the us. so natal is the right place, but not the only play so much time as well. there are lots of people in certainly in europe, lots of countries in europe, wary of adopting the u. s. is confrontational approach to china, 30 different countries in that alliance?

how are they going to speak with one convincing voice against china? they won't, and i think that might probably be one of the reasons why the press conference is delayed. i think the general consensus is posing a particular challenge, but the wording is already and indicative. russia is a threat. china is a challenge. i think the 30 countries are many of them. i really agreeing on china being instrumental when it comes to tackling human rights abuses. but it does play a role often cyber security because it's one of the countries that is doing phone interfering. and it's also one that contributes to climate change. but china is a competent competitor, you know, and europe in particular is relying on china when it comes to, to supply chain in the past,

and even interest or infrastructure building. so it's evident that you're con, quite go on with this in the same, whereas the united states with the conference and i think that will be the device, the subject matter. and just much is made of the change of personnel in the white house. now we've got a nice mr by him against nasty. mr. trump. how does that change personnel in the white house? how has that? will it affect what nato actually does in the world? i think that is a huge change. you know, as i said earlier, on, words matter tone matter, and respectful engagement matters. and so having president by and now in europe as 1st, foncher is hugely significant. he's something new to me. thing now he's in brussels and they told me as well as the european union,

the thing and then he goes to geneva to meet president. it says a lot of by and has again, you know, really use the language that he has use is important to convey trust and confidence. and we are relying on the personal interaction. but it is off the peer . he still has american interest in mind and you know, one of the priorities is how to deal with china. could talk us very clear, dr. dr. corrina hearst from the german marshall fund. every d. w brings together media professionals and decision makers from a range of fields to discuss the most important socio political issues of our time . german chancellor, i'm going to michael started. this is global media for a special message. there was also an address from lash at a party colleague who hopes to succeed her as chancellor disruption and innovation

is a theme of a 2 day conference with conspiracy theories and artificial intelligence amongst the topics being explored. google search or who will d w editor in chief, manuela casper claridge spoke with armand lasha and questioned him about some of the foreign policy issues he would face if he became chancellor. mr. lasha and you shipped and transatlantic relations seems to be open. now. what's your take on this was key on so the u. s. is returning to the walls, health organization and it's engaging at the united nations again, and it's reviving 37 processes we just saw over the weekend and aunt and i believe we should cease this moment. the president's idea of a coalition of democracies around the world that work closely together. it's a particular opportunity for europe and for germany to be strongly involved. y'all starts on getting a clear us then poured towards russia. what does that exactly mean for you?

and it has to keep calling for a tougher approach, need to say what they mean by a tough approach happens. we have sanctions of breaking off diplomatic relations or anything like that will be wrong. then when things get difficult, you have to talk more not last week. this is, that's why it's a good thing that joe biden, the american president, will be meeting president putin in the next few days in the american and russian president's meeting again at last. and that's more important than never in times of crisis. denton bass power describe the increase inside their talks between the u. s . and germany about not trying to what are the preconditions for that not for him to connect legal on life. these are pipeline high play must not be used to black male ukraine or the state of poland, poland. but once it's been built, it will be an additional good part of free energy supply as all the orders and the

pipeline will go into opperation this year. name and, and when the gas starts flowing we need to keep a close eye on these geopolitical rules and the protection of ukraine. and that's been agreed on a european level to the human rights abuses and below growth. that part the discussion as she says meeting you met settler, not to her, not come up personally. she's the opposition leader levels and she's asking for tougher things. shoes. what could tougher sanctions look like? the s, as soon as you have the 1st sanctions that we decided on the below rationale and from flying over european union territory, fuqua's asia like why not flying from our side over bela ruth, which also hits the state financially was up to then putting officials involved in human rights violations. rec, you under rectally on the targets it's sanction lifted. some of these officials have their own business interests, including president brushing himself. these are in their activities that companies

need to come into the european union sanction regime activity. and thea, and film and listen, wanted us as soon as you know that hasn't happened yet, and that is what i would like to see expanding the sanctions to increase the targeted pressure on president lucas shank of president and question mr. lasha. thank you very much for the interview. let's take a look at some of the stories making news around the world. jailed bella luce, in journalist around the savages, appeared at a news conference in men's. and so to be yet another statement made under duress, mister savage said he felt fine and has not been beaten since his arrest. last month made several appearances, including the one in which she appeared to confess to plotting, overthrown president lucas shanker. to americans to plead guilty to helping format nissan boss carlos a goen fleet, japan. while he was on battle in 2019 special forces,

a new coalition government led by former netanyahu allied nestali bennett, even further to the right than mister netanyahu and promising a fresh start of to 2 years of political style might the on the streets of keller, vive celebration to mark the end of an era and the dawn of a new one. after a frantic round of deal making the increasingly unpopular prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been pushed from power by an unlikely alliance. i celebrate i me and my friends who are celebrating the new government because it's something new, something fresh, good for you and all the sides of the country. i mean the right side, the left side not only side, i think it's agree with every child. netanyahu is replaced by enough tally bennett, who's a party. government was confirmed by the connected on sunday. and the few clumsily

were at the start of new day's hardships and it's not an exaggerated word. the hardships of establishing the unity governments are behind us sob. now the eyes of the people of israel, of everyone are on us. and now we have to prove ourselves. bennett, who made millions in it, was a netanyahu protege, the right when nationalist has dislodged the dominant israeli politician of his generation. netanyahu served as prime minister for 12 consecutive years after a 3 year term in the ninety's mill. 10 minutes the new government was forged by centrist leader. yet you're lucky. it includes era, lawmakers, 1st for israel, they say joining the government is ricky, but worth it. when i came, we are aware that this step brings with it

a lot of written and difficulty. but the opportunity for us is huge. to change the equation and the balance of power in the method is and in the new government. applauding. even as the fragile majority pledges to heal the countries deep divisions, netanyahu aim to stoke those divisions in search of a come back. but i will leave you on a daily fight to overthrow this dangerous left wing government. and with god's help, it will happen much faster than you think they must shut them was we let the departing prime minister most pressing battle might be the corruption charges. he's facing charges that have already played a big part in derailing his premier ship to pakistan. when a town in the southern send province is stopping with an outbreak of h, i v. first cases were reported in 2019 and most of those affected by babies and children in later emerged that the majority of cases appeared to be linked to one

doctor. authorities did take action, but many families say that tragedy could have been avoided. this 4 year old girl is one of many 100 stiff contracted h i. v, near the town of raw to darrow's, in southern pakistan. her mother, her kima shaw, is now also h. i v positive. she's saying they're getting some help from the government, which is not enough. and she's afraid. so he's in begging about how can one get mentioned to a child for a lifetime. sometimes we forget sometimes a child makes a 4th. we very pool a wake up with sunrise and start working, so who can give her medicines regularly? this medical center was set up in response to the mass outbreak of h. i. v among children in the town in 2019 percent to hammer out the anti retroviral drugs used to treat h i. v for free that families have to cover all other calls. they say this is wrong,

especially as the tragedy that hit the community 2 years ago. could have been avoided, talk to him, an extra body was the one who raised the alarm about the growing number of h i v cases among children. in 2 months, i had all been be cases. all those would be the same as 3. those would be the same symptoms and the positive felicia said the cases will link to the reuse of $33.00 inches by one doctor in the town. he denied the charges he was arrested, but he's now out on bail. some accused the authorities of scapegoating the doctor to try to cover up the government's own shortcomings. and it's failure to provide even basic health care for the majority of people. in the aftermath of the disaster, the regional government tried to improve the situation by checking doctors were following the rules. but critics say they've since become less strict. and for the

families and children in the communities hit by the h i v outbreak. they still know engine site to their suffering in take a closer look at this with fasfa mia, who is associate professor of pediatrics in child health at aga. com university in karachi. a welcome to d w. so in this case has the source of those h i v infections not been definitively established and the outbreak stopped. so good evening from good archie, thank you for having me. we conducted a case control study to look at possible causes of the outbreak. and even though a case control study can definitely give you saw, it can give you likely causes and are likely causes with it to her blood transfusions, multiple injections and mothers with intro, be positive status, which basically told us that there was a parental route,

which was predominant of this outbreak when mother to try and transmission as a 2nd major goal. right. your 2nd part of the question was, harvey interrupted it. well, we identified the causes. the immediate response was to set up a treatment center for all these positive children. and i think we succeeded in, in creating treatment centers and linking these positive children to care. but by the time, by the time it was signed and strategically and aggressively handled the complete lack of infection prevention and control practices in large con dental corbett. take the what, and it basically di, worker's attention and necessary funds away from the infection control strategy. right? so does this, does that mean that we've, we've, we've covered a raging around the world, that there is a likelihood that these h i,

v infections will, will pick up again? was definitely testing had slowed down. so i think the fact that yes, there is a couple of new cases over the last year, but it has been a flu, a flu, thankfully, flue rate of new cases. which does not for your sure us because definitely testing has dropped down. so that's what corbett has done the, the attention of a weak health system has gone completely towards funding. panoramic mitigation, you see, and this was all in attention which could have gone towards improving testing in the populations. and poverty is a complicating factor here, isn't it? we, we heard in the report that alright, or sources have active, but it is expensive for us to get access to these free drugs. it's, it's basically

a combination of poor maternal and trying to help poor primary care. which means nutrition, vaccination coverage, and poverty of course is like, you know, it's a, it's a confounding almost every childhood in this. so yes, the government provides a r t. yes. the government provide free testing services, but definitely there's a big gap in care. we thank you for explaining what it was. understood, thank you so much for explaining that to us a fatima mir associate professor of pediatrics and child health aga khan university . in the on the 1st much of today's group stages of football european championships has ended with the check republic defeating scotland. and the game featured the shot of the tournament. so far. a check republics at patrick to shake, lofted a shot from mid field with the goalkeeper. well off his line,
