resistance to russia's invasion, and in another to your political challenge, north korea test fires a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile that lands in japan's territorial waters. tokyo says it may be a new type of missile and calls the firing and an acceptable act of violence. ah, hello everyone, i'm my rock. thank you for joining us. as the war and ukraine enters its 2nd months, nato leaders are vowing to send more military aid to keep and to strengthen the eliasis eastern frontiers. at an emergency summit of alliance leaders in brussels, secretary general young sultan berg confirm that nato. we'll send 40000 more troops to eastern europe. he also warned that russian use of chemical weapons in ukraine

would, quote, fundamentally change the nature of the conflict. on mr. as thornton berg and said, russia's invasion of ukraine had created a new security reality and welcomed pledges from alliance members to increase defense spending. one month since the start of russia invasion of ukraine natal security environment has for the mentally changed for a long haul. and we are responding, but the kid a but security doesn't come for free and doing more will cost more. so nate to leaders agreed to read double efforts to meet the fence investment pledge we made in 2014 allies will submit additional plans on how to meet the pledge in time for a madrid summit in june. and i welcome that the number of allies to day announced plans for significant increases in the fans spending. at this stage,

this time constant again to ansolaski are viking europe on north america outstanding. i will continue to storm strong together, take you to a nato headquarters in brussels correspondence air shields, is a standing outside very strong words from nato secretary of fulton, berger at the press conference. what stood out for you. i think 1st of all, layla was the secretary general's acknowledgement of ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, impassioned plea to nato. to please send more weapons, give us more support. of course we know ukraine wants a no fly zone. we know nato continues to reject that. we know that ukraine wants fighter jets from poland and other allies that have these mig 29th. so far, nato has not managed to send them and we don't even know where that request is at the moment. but secretary general suttonberg said some allies did step up with more

assistance for ukraine. and there was another interesting thing lately, you know, we've talked a lot lately about increasing concerns that russia would use chemical weapons inside ukraine. and the possibility that the impact from this could contaminate allied territories just to day stilton burg announced that the supreme allied commander for nato has activated a special task force inside it's rapid reaction. forces to look at how to protect allied populations, nato territory. in the case of a chemical attack. so that says to me that, that their concern is, is becoming ever greater that russia does plan to use a chemical weapon. and the secretary general had also a message for china. that's right. china was mentioned in the leader statement, put out at the end of the meeting, and we've heard it. we've heard president biden, for example, and secretary general silverberg say this before. but once again, now in black and white, telling china to state out of this, to not respond to russia's request to help supply

a weapons or other technological pasadena that it may be lacking due to sanctions. that the liter statement says china, you are a member of the un security council. your job is to try to keep the world peaceful . and we expect you to do that. social. so reporting from brussels or ukraine says it's navy has sunk, a russian landing ship in the occupied port city of birth, yonce. it comes as present. vladimir zalinski appeals to the world to take to the streets and a universal show of solidarity or shall continue. st. ukraine's major cities with airstrikes and artillery. ukrainians have prevented russian takeovers in several locations. the un says the conflict has already driven half of ukraine's children from their homes. in a hospital in cave, ali ice feeding her daughter victoria, who was 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 business,

those sure order creed, sharla. i woke up because polio was screaming and it was accompanied by the sound of glass crushing an alarm. fire a catastrophe. ah, i just heard all your shouting turned over and thrill blanket over them. so cornered leisure, cuz she's attacks 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 viola demerits. lensky is also working to build up morale, re, 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. rush 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 metals. 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 reject you now to the ukrainian capital i did of you corresponds mathias brinninger is in keith mathias. how are things in and around keith? ah, yeah, we have just returned to key. if we've been away for a week in with western part of the country and in the mood has changed slightly here. um we see more shops open. for example, addresses are open now they used to be closed. um, most of the shops are still closed, but

a few more businesses are operating. you see more people on the street, you see more traffic. so it feels like the city is making its way back to normalcy in very small steps. it is of course, still a city in an extraordinary situation. you can still hear shelling and in day time and at night or from the outskirts the ukrainians have driven the, the russians a bit further away from the city. that at least what we hear. but the fighting is close enough that you can hear it in if you are in the city center. however, it seems to be like at the trent simself shifted a little bit. that's the feeling here on the ground. that's really interesting that perspective that you bring us there at mathias. what does that tell you? is there growing optimism that they're able to hold off a russian troops from capturing a key? what's the mood at the moment?

um, the russian troops have tried to capture key if everybody understands or, or estimates that there's, that was that top priority to capture key of quickly decapitate the government. and it has not worked. moreover, while russian troops have advanced to these places around key of where they are now quite quickly, they have an almost been unable to make any gains within her 3 weeks or so. and we've also seen some signs that they are digging trenches. now that this is moving towards a war of attrition, rather than an invasion or law or in advance. and that's obviously something that gives people here. the hope that the russians might, that ukraine might be able to catch. you drive the russians out in the end, or 2 or 2 to create a situation. terry has had this before or where the russians would understand that they could not achieve their goal. and then in not negotiations,

they could be convinced to leave the country. that's the hope now it's still not where we are, it's nothing that people expect to happen in the next few weeks or so. but it's something that could be a possible outcome in the longer term. there's very careful, but some optimism is here. very cautious. optimism indeed, unfortunately, and in other parts of ukraine, russian straits have repeatedly hits as soft targets. so mostly a civilian a targets on is this the main tactic that is being employed by a russian at military and other parts of ukraine. it looks like this because the shelling has been much too massive. the shelling of residential court as in mary opal and hark, has been too massive to see this as an accident and a lot of people have died. of course. um, it's, it seems to be a tactics to di, motivate the people there to pressure people into submission or to make them

leave the cities in order to choose to make it easier for the military to capture them. all these are theories what could be behind it. what we know for sure is that it is a tactics that russia has used before. russia has massively bombed grossly the capital of chechnya, in the 19 ninety's, russia has massively bombed a leper, the stronghold of the opposition in syria, with no regard to civilians. are hospitals bombed kindergarden schools, bomb systematically. so um, there are no illusions that this might be anything else, but deliberate. did have corresponding mathias vinegar reporting it from key. thank you very much. thank you. when i tell you what the other stories are, we're keeping an eye on right now. we're emergency crews at the sight of monday's plane crash and china say they have found more pieces of the aircraft and human

remains. they're still searching for the 2nd black box, the flight date up a quarter to try and figure out what caused the boeing 737 to suddenly nose die from cruising altitude. 132 people were on board and all are presumed dead. the on the you got to make us prime minister has told britons prince william that the caribbean island aims to become an independent nation. well, the remarks come during the week long tore a former british colonies by prince william and his wife kate, who testers have been demanding britain, formerly apologized for slavery, and pay reparations turn our attention now to north korea. that country 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. tokyo says the projectile flew

for over an hour and then landed some 150 kilometers off japan's west coast in the countries territorial waters. while if confirmed it would be pyongyang 1st intercontinental ballistic missile test. since 2017 and a short while ago w spoke to were correspondent frank smith. and so we asked why north korea launched a long way, 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 relaunch to a long range, intercontinental ballistic missile. it's done 12 missile tests. so for this year, if we go back to, you know, when north korea previously law and such a missile back in 2017 or so in 2018, it had

a summit. kim johnson and the leader of north korea to summit with former us president donald trump. there kim agreed to spend essentially a moratorium on long range missile launchers in nuclear. tess, he's kept his word so far in return. he expected a chain in what north korea calls the hostile policy of the united states. specifically, mercury is talking about the sanctions, the united nation security sanctions that remain on north korea. otherwise, right now we just had an election here in south korea, a new conservative president 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. he wants to get every news. here's a recap of our main story. later secretary general, yes,

from birth has called russia's invasion of your brain, the biggest security crisis in a generation that crisis, somebody in brussels, he wanted to rush up, potentially using chemical weapons. he said the alliance would move some $40000.00 additional troops to eastern europe. you're watching a dwi life from berlin. stick with the spirit of energy is up next with literature invites us to see people in particular. i like to see if the kids find the strange grown up world may only objective is to show where to find beautiful. did you books on youtube with diversity and the thing i knew.
