ah, ah ah, this is every news lying from burle that nato puts up a united front, vowing to strengthen its eastern borders and sent more a to ukraine at a crisis summit in brussel secretary general again salton burke says the alliance is facing a new security reality as the russian invasion of ukraine enters its 2nd month, he also says needle will boost will bolster air land and sea defenses. this, as you creased navy is not backing down, says it has destroyed a large russian landing ship off the port city of brad yachts. as it continues its

fierce resistance to russia's invasion and in another geopolitical challenge, north korea test fires a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile that lands and japanese territorial waters. tokyo says it may be a new type of missile and calls the firing an acceptable act of violence. ah, hello everyone, i'm black. thank you so much for joining us. all. as the war in ukraine enters its 2nd month, nato leaders are vowing to send more military h, achieve and to strengthen the alliances. eastern frontiers. speaking in an emergency nato summit in brussel secretary general young start in bert said nato is facing a new security reality. mister gothenburg said 40000 more troops are being sent to

eastern europe. the alliance is also boosting air and naval defenses. and he added and repeat it, that nato will not send claims directly into ukraine in order to prevent that conflict with russia from spilling over a from a through school that we can take you now to at nato. h q were standing outside is the corresponding terry. sure. terry is the invasion of ukraine making nato. we think it's options well lately, what we just heard in the press conference with secretary general stoughton break is that nieto is re thinking it's own security. and in this case, i mean specifically with regard to chemical weapons, we've of course heard a lot of talk in recent days about increasing concern that russia would use chemical weapons inside ukraine. now, secretary general still to burg, told us in this news conference that the alliance is activated what it calls defense elements in its own chemical and biological defense capacity. and that

means that allied countries are going to be activating forces inside their country to, to deal with a potential chemical attack, not just in ukraine, but in case it spills over the borders. so that's something certainly that we've seen a tick up in concern with them. now what i understand is that nato is not getting involved as long as no nato member is under threat. that's right, nato still maintains these, these a very strong lines of that. it is not going into ukraine, that it is not going to provoke a direct conflict with russia. but what we understand is that it is increasingly concerned that what russia does inside ukraine, in the case of a chemical weapon, could spill over the borders with contamination as, as stilton berg put it. and that could be an attack on, on an allied country. that, of course, does not mean that the alliance would declare article 5 or something that rises to that level. but they certainly are beginning to take more precautions to protect

the populations. an earlier precedent. latimer zalinski ukrainian liter addressed nato. up did it influence any of the measures that nato plans on adopting it didn't and, and this of course will be a, the heartbreak for presidents zalinski one more time. and in increasingly, also nato allies call these very painful decisions. they're forced to make that they will not provide more support to ukraine than weaponry than money and, and we did hear that allies announced at this meeting more support for ukraine. more anti tank missiles up, possibly anti ship missiles and drones that secretary general stilton burke says, have been very effective, but there will be no nato boots on the ground that hasn't changed. there will be no no fly zone created by nato. and jerry, in terms of the terms, the military like alliance rather deliberately not drawing any red lines from what

i understand from your reporting. what message is nato trying to signal to president putin? this is a good question because of course, when you put red lines down and this is the reason they're reluctant to even use that term, then if russia were to cross it made a would be drawn into action. so they are hoping that their strong language, that the fact that they are sending more and more defensive into allied territories and into ukraine itself, will somehow turned the tide of this war. i don't know if anyone believes any more that there is a way to convince president putin diplomatically that, that he needs to stop the war. so what they're doing is making sure that, that the hardware on the ground is as strong as possible for final thoughts for terry. yeah, the secretary general had a message for china. that's right, m is one that has been stated before, but now it was a stated by all 30 nato leaders. and that is that china needs to stay out of this

war. there is concern that china would help provide support for russia in material ways, in weaponry. and other tech tech, technological capabilities that perhaps have been cut off to russia due to sanctions and message from these 3030 leaders is china. stay out, you have a responsibility as a member of the united nations security council to help make peace. and that's what we need to see you do. standing outside of the allies headquarters in brussels made of correspond. terry schultz. thank you very much for your reporting. are ukraine says it's navy has sunk, a russian landing ship in the occupied port. city of bird yonce. he comes as president of a lot of years landscape peals to the world to take to the streets in a universal show of solidarity. or she continues to hit ukraine's major cities with air strikes and artillery. but ukrainians have prevented russian takeovers in several locations. the un says the conflicts has already driven half of ukraine's

children from their homes. in a hospital in keith aaliyah is feeding her daughter victoria, who is just one month old. the baby survived russian shelling because her mother used her body as a shield. her father recounts how their apartment block was targeted. oh, sure. oh, good charlotte. i woke up because polio was screaming and it was accompanied by the sound of glass crushing an alarm. fire. i saw a catastrophe. ah, i just heard all your shouting turned over and through a blanket over them, so cornered that shock, which is a tax on residential areas. schools and hospitals have become a daily occurrence in the war. with russian troops mostly stalled outside ukraine's main cities. they are resorting to bombing from afar. ukraine is fighting back. it's navy reported that it destroyed

a large russian landing ship in the port city of bed of young ask a boost for ukraine's forces. come in, president vladimir zalinski is also working to build up morale, great, and garner, international support life. come to your squares, your streets, make yourselves winnable and hoard. see that people mentor free? the matters piece matters you. great matters are us is trying to defeat the freedom of old people in europe, of all the people in the world. it tries to show that only crude and cruel force matters. despite the destruction russia has wrought. ukraine says it will not give up fighting. but the price of its defiance is a country laid to waste. well tracking developments in ukraine is dw corresponded funny for sure. she joined system live in western ukraine. funny. can you give us an update in terms of the developments that you've been hearing about and seeing

today? you really wonder just how much more shelling, how much explosion is going to be, especially for example, if you look at the ton of money poll that's been already reduced to basically nothing. actually. the citic also said a couple of days ago that quote, it is basically a, it's full, it's like a place of ashes of that land. so given that formulation, you really wonder what is more to show, but despite that, there is more shedding, there's more explosion we are just hearing now that the key, apparently, at least this is what the ukraine defense ministry said. we cannot verify yet that they could successfully, i make sure that some of the russian troops are, are, are going back. but it's all clear, just what that means in terms of trying to install, call the city as a whole, what russian to for trying to do over the course of the past 4 weeks since this rule has begun. now, in the midst of all of this presidency, lensky is basically trying to keep up the spirits here on the ground by selling

people go to the street, take to the street. it is about the freedom of this country. but in that public video, that announcement he made an english ukrainian russian. he also call them basically everyone are not just people here and you prayed. but of course, all the political leaders that he's been video linking out with you in the past. during the past couple of weeks, as we know, there's a, a, something going on a to saw maybe you saw made as so many stakeholders are speaking right now. actually about the future of this country as this will continue to develop. we met up here in living with various people. those who are about to leave continue to flee towards poland. but also those who want to resist wants knows, well, actually returning to ukraine and want to show resistance by being back here to water country. here is more ah, they escaped horror. their last trach boarding, one of these trains to poland. you bound her 2 grandchildren took 4 days to get

label. it's impossible to leave my team behind award for them, but i need to give people jobs 0 in the future. yeah, that's why i am here from we're thought we have about him. my return is about supporting ukraine. and those who don't know whether to return on what to do, how to live with the dye, li, shaken by the brutality of this war, she says she wants to secure jobs for her team, or had to flee from keith. she's able to give work again in this wedding dress factory. she found a temporary workspace message lousy. knock my message to all women who are abroad on who may think about returning. and what to do here is just all i want to tell them. shawn, we have the strongest men in the world and you said shall have accused him. we will win and can overcome any things the lion long. despite the optimism, the war is present here to our interview interrupted by irrate, silence air now. so there it siren again. as ah,

we shout them. what a girls if you want to go down, go hide this the over him. i had cerebral diarrhea. i am on. yeah. jagow use, i'm afraid because it's unpredictable. but that the cost of life, sun, nebraska, soil doc, a lamb. we need to stay alive for those of us at the factory can be a target to lily explains as we had to the bunker, but just how responsible is it to ask others to return to you quain? now, lilia makes clear, gotten that book daily, and everyone is responsible for their own actions. listen, but in my, in law edition, on the 7th, and every one decides for themselves what they do, this is what they say, the choices they make. what you crane me just annual clean. all right,

this is my choice yarbrough on that a stock. and the consequence of their choice of leaving or returning plays out here at this train station in living for our reporting there and funny, you know, watching the lives of to so many people being destroyed in just 4 weeks time. and the terrifying speed with which this war is progressing. did anyone expect this one months ago? no, no about to put to really briefly put no, i do remember actually the day before the school started and the explosions and keith the day before there was a pension in the air, but still nobody believed the people i've spoken to. but also, you know, we did our team then in fact eve is going to be attacked on the very 1st day of this full scale invasion. and if you look at what happened during the for the 4 weeks now, and you really wonder what else is to happen because so many things so been

destroyed, so many towns, so many lives lost in was actually a pope. po francis referred to as a indefinite i'm, that's like a basically. so given all of that given the situation in your grain and even though you hear the music behind me by the way, this is a minutes or orchestra playing right now. people are longing for peace and it's been only in quotes in quotation marks, full weeks into the old, but 4 weeks way to march ukrainian swampy. and they want the end of this war that they say they didn't provoke, and they do not deserve funding for shar, reporting from levine and western ukraine. honey, thank you for your continued coverage. let's the speak now to we're natalia people, she's a member of the ukrainian parliament and i'd like to welcome you to the w news. the

war enters it's 2nd month. everything happened so quickly. how have the past weeks been for you and your family is it was horrible. especially 1st days, 1st days. then you don't understand what happened and why it's happened. you don't never think about and believe that can be in 21st century. so cruel the war. everybody is in the 21st century. that is can be war for, it's like a brain technologies. this is just about a cruelty to children, no boot and some sicknesses. and they don't understand what it can happen in french 1st century. as for my children, it was horrible to i was in cave like member of parliament, my children to who are in leave. and i am just by phone for the day after

and after the a go to the to and it does it in we was more colon and in k, for example, a bot. but it was not simple because you might go a few every hours to the basement and and but for all us it's not understanding how it happened and be especially with our crew crane not a lot about like rush and gruel, but never believes that it can be and for a small change, and if i'm believable to i wanted to ask you about that natalia as a parent of course, you know you, you want to provide security for your children. so i can't even imagine what your family is going through in so many families in ukraine. how are you helping them

process? living with insecurity, not knowing what comes tomorrow or the next moment. security if this is clearly, but like invest part of ukraine is more calm and a lot of conscious like for example, a great example like the rest bark to cry. ukraine or the last part of ukraine is more it's more in face to then other part of your grade. just reason why we spend a lot people in the, for all different part of ukraine and bought, who's all about to be, are really interesting is, is this people come to leave and, and can be in safety. now we don't know, obviously when this terrible war invasion will come to an end, already the human toll is just so immense. of course we are thinking about people

in me. are you poll especially what options are there for people in ukraine today? the question is, what to do? yes. if you, if you it will be quite long, especially a few months or yes, i understand. all right, well i was wondering in terms of, you know, how, how are you preparing for the future? if the conflicts continue from remax him can to about a like a can or mic and be my son can get both indication and to be my thinking about safety and 3 of my kids that this work and he and not one month, but a lot of mine says and can be $1.00 oh $2.00. yes, it is like you sent. my son can get both long distance and 20. it will be quickly. you will please bring their van into, belong the station and you will be prepared. it will be bad for dislike. today is

independent russian website has been killed and keith, news outlet. the insider said oksana. belinda died when russian forces shelled a suburb where she had been filming damage from an attack. at least 5 journalists have now died since russian troops invaded ukraine. 4 weeks ago, the head of the international committee of the red cross, peter morrow, has held talks with russian foreign minister, sergey elaborate in moscow. the red cross president told russia it must abide by international laws on humanitarian conduct in war. mara also plans to discuss the issue of prisoners of war with defense officials or submit to problem to provide the german parliament is debating a relief package announced by the government in response to spiraling energy cos triggered by russia's invasion of ukraine. the measures include a 3 month reduction in fuel tax and a discount on public transport. if he was with massey,

russian president vladimir putin announced on wednesday that future payments for his countries gas exports must be made in roubles when he seen effort to undermine western sanctions. and prop up rushes, struggling currency, as explained by put in the new rule would apply to countries sanctioning russia, but still receiving its gas exports. a list that includes the e. u and japan did hear them as a no murder western countries have taken illegitimate decisions on the so called freezing of russian ass only was a model securities. this collective west is actually drawn a line under the reliability of its currency. so was that you've already spoken about this, across the trust in these currency to hear from old navy good. but existing contracts are in dollars and euro's making the move dubious, at best done. couldn't you go on? the announcement to pay in roubles is 1st and foremost a breach of contracts, and we will now talk with our european partners about how we respond to this on

fortune. it's also unclear how payments would even take place. western banks don't trade heavily and rubles, russian banks could exchange the currencies. but that would undermine sanctions. giving russia much needed foreign currency. and in turn, strengthening the weaken rubel. i don't think it is practicable and we already healed. not only germany, but italy and australia have already declared that they will continue to o d u o with gus brom. according to the existing contracts, which means that their payment will be made in a euro or dollar. which also means that putin's demand further complicates the ears long and painful to force from russian fossil fuels. natalia. but other news now where north korea has fired a long range missile in what japan is calling an unacceptable act of violence. japanese defense officials say it may be

a new type of intercontinental ballistic missile. so here says the projectile flu for over an hour and land at some 150 kilometers off japan's west coast. in the countries territorial waters while if confirmed it would be pyongyang 1st intercontinental ballistic missile tests. since 2017 an earlier dw spoke to correspond to frank smith the in. so we asked why north korea has launched a long range missile successfully for the 1st time in 4 years. right now we're, you know, the world's attention really is captured by what's going on with the war in ukraine . and a lot of people might think this has something to do with that. i'm not really sure that's the case. well, this is, you know, it's been for years since north relaunched a long range intercontinental ballistic missile. it's done 12 missile test. so for this year, if we go back to, you know, when north korea previously launch such

a missile back in 2017 or so in 2018, it had a summit. kim johnson and the leader of north korea had a summit with former us president donald trump. there kim agreed to spend essentially a moratorium on long range missile launches in nuclear tests. he's kept his word so far in return. he expected a change in what north recalls the hostile policy of the united states. specifically, north korea is talking about the sanctions of the united nations security sanctions that remain on north korea. otherwise, right now we just had an election here and so create a new conservative president. that vows to take a hard line with north korea units. so fuel has come to power here. so this is also a message to south korea and to the united states that it wants to see some negotiations on sanctions relief. after 4 months at the international space station,

german astronaut, my ts mauer has finally had his 1st chance to experience a space, walk. omar exit at the i s s, together with his american colleague ra, shop, cherry, and spent 6 and a half hours floating in space. while during the space walk, the 2 astronauts repaired a cooling system to place an important camera and installed a new electric and data cable. to exciting stuff you're watching, you know we news. there's a recap of our main story. nato secretary general young fulton berg has called russia's invasion of ukraine, the quote biggest security crisis in a generation of crisis. someone in brussels, he warned, of russia potentially using chemical weapons. he said the alliance would move some $40000.00 additional troops to eastern europe. he also promised to send more military aid to ukraine. washington news live from brawl and on
