and starts april 16th on d, w ah ah, this is due to the news line from berlin, more united than ever us present. jo, bind praises nato as rushes war on you create, enters its 2nd month at an emergency. some advice says the us and nato allies are determined to sustain ukraine in resisting russia's invasion. a comes after nato secretary general young fulton, bert sounded the alarm about russia potentially using chemical weapons. meanwhile,

not backing down ukraine's navy says it has destroyed a large russian landing ship off the port city. a very dance, as it continues, its fierce resistance to russia's invasion. ah, hello everyone, i'm layla rock. thank you very much for being with us. as the war in ukraine enters its 2nd months, nato leaders are vowing to send more military aid to keep and to strengthen the alliances eastern frontiers at an emergency as an emergency summit of alliance leaders in brussels. secretary general in stock number confirm that nita will 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. speaking just right before we came

on air, u. s. president joe, by and said that vladimir putin, as under estimated the resolve and unity of nato ticklish good was banking on nato . be split my early conversations that december and early january was clear to me. he didn't think we could sustain this cohesion. nato has never, never been more united than it is today. prudent is getting exactly the opposite. what he intended to have as a consequence of going to ukraine. us present, they're speaking on the war in ukraine. we can take a now to nato h q. terry schultz is the covering events. there are tell you what stood out for you. i think as we heard in that sound by to president biden, was extremely bullish on the trans atlantic cooperation. and on the resolve that the alliance has had, he said that there were 3 main goals that they wanted to accomplish immediately after the invasion. and that was to help ukraine with military and financial

assistance to impose harsh economic sanctions on russia. and sorry, sorry. and did these things, he says, have been accomplished, president biden said to bit brushes should not underestimate that the alliance is, is able to continue and continue that to stay on one track here. and he also said that he wanted to see russia pulled out at the g. 20 he was asked directly, and his answer was yes. now, the spectre of chemical warfare is, is looming large. and he also addressed that president biden. what did he say about what nato's response would be? should chemical weapons be used in ukraine? a president biden was asked whether he would respond if chemical weapons were, were used, and he said he would not get into the details, but he said we will respond and that echoes went dead. and nato said earlier,

in fact, they said that they are providing ukraine equipment and medication in case of a chemical attack should occur. and nato also announce it for the 1st time ever. it was activating it's a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons task force. and that is to establish in nato member states that capability to respond should a chemical attack happen in ukraine and spill over into nato's borders? or earlier, we also heard from nato secretary general against oldenburg. let's take a listen to what he said to day natalee, others agreed to reset all the turns on the fence for the longer term to face and you security, reality or lung. we will have substantially more forces in the eastern part of the lawrence at hyatt redness. with more pre positioned equipment and supplies in the air, we will deploy more jets and strengthen our integrated air and miss on defense.

at sea. we will have a carrier strike groups, submarines, and significant numbers of combat ships on the persistent basis. terry, that's quite a recess. is invasion of ukraine making nato. we think it's options absolutely later. and now the build up has been happening on nato's eastern flank, even before the invasion, you know, in, in the baltic states and in poland. the us and other countries sent more forces to, to reassure the allies. they've sent more equipment. but one of the things that sold hamburg said that we should pay attention to, is that he said, on a persistent basis. this is something that is a change for nato. these were expected to be rotational forces their while rushes build up occurred, which was also expected to be temporary. now, nato is looking at making some of these basic permanent,

or at least very long term. they say, as long as this new, new reality is that this new normal is in place. they have to keep these truths in place. so what russia wanted was for nato to shrink back from its borders. what it has seen instead is an incredible build up of nato troops on its borders. one of the many unintended consequences of this war, a, terri nato. the one thing that remains constant is that nato will not get involved as long as no nato member is under threat. that's still the case and president zalinski asked as for more resources, he of course would, would love to see nato boots on the ground to help his people fight back against russia. that's not going to happen. and we're told the zalinski did not repeat his specifically for a no fly zone here, something that's been consistently rejected by nato. but he, of course, would like to see more fighter jets fighter jets that something that some nato allies have been willing to provide. but that deal has not been worked out yet,

so as long as there are no, there is not a direct russian threat to a nato ally. there will not be a direct nato response. terry schultz reporting from right outside the nato h q. terry, thank you. or ukraine says its navy has sunk, a russian landing ship in the occupied port. city of bred yonce. it comes as present villamor, zalinski, appeals to the world to take to the streets in a universal show of solidarity while russia continues to hit your grains. major cities with air strikes and artillery, but ukrainians have prevented russian takeovers in several locations. meanwhile, un says the conflict has already driven half of ukraine's children from their homes in a hospital in keep ali eyes 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 as well. oh,

sure, audra creek. 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 leisure, cuz she's 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 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 horde. see that people matter. freedom matters best

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 who can take an hour to ukraine to dw correspond mathias bellinger who is in chief for you mathias. what's the situation in and around the ukrainian capital? well, we have left cave about a week ago and returned to day the situation or is a bit more positive than it used to be in terms of what you can see on the street. more people outside, more shops, open, barber shops, for example,

have reopened. but still you can hear the artillery when you are in the streets, you can hear it from the northern side where they're still fighting. going on. the ukranian army seems to have recaptured some territory and thrown back the russian troops a little bit in the on the east and also in the northwest. so this is maybe a little sign of relief, but there's also still shelling rockets hit the capitol. so it is still tense here, but a few minor steps back to a more normal life i have been taken and people are maybe those who are still here are more confident, maybe in their daily life. now it's been a month, as you pointed out, since the russian invasion was started as we went from you know, right in the run up to the crisis from presidents of an emergency saying keep calm,

carry on to now, what is turning into a grinding war? how are people responding to the prospect of, of this continuing for the weeks to come the months to come? maybe even whoa, i'm depends on whom you ask. of course, the military is trying to make plans, or the government is trying to make plans is telling the people to keep going to, to, to stay firm, to say defiant. but the but i think for most people, it's hard to imagine what will be, i mean, many have already left the country that will stay there until know they know how things are changing or until they see a prospect of returning. and those who are here, they just carry on for their daily life. there is a bit of a relief, as i said before, or or, or hope that things might take a better turn,

considering how well the ukranian army has been able to stop this russian advance and that it's fighting back in some places. however, there of course, other places where it's still looking very grim or you pull, which is taking one block by, by one block by the russians or hard if it continues being sheldon, where again, civilians have been killed were queuing up for military and relief. and whatever we are able to learn from the tactics employed by russia in those particularly those 2 places hockey and valuable. well, i hope nobody learns from them because these are definitely a crimes war crimes. they are deliberately showing the civilian population. i think that's very clear by the amount of selling by the targets that have been hit. they should indiscriminately into residential areas. and we've, we've seen these pictures where you were entire,

were entire districts have been burned down. it's a tactic of course of a to, to break people's resistance to break people's will to empty. maybe the city is also offered civilian population and because they might be easier to, to enter for the army if the civilians are gone. there are several explanations that military people bring on, but in the one thing that we have to see is that it's a tactic that russia has used to before. it has used them in graziani and the capital of chechen in the beginning of the 2 thousands. it has used them in a lot of the strong old of the opposition in syria. all of them have been basically bombed in a large scale and the civilian and many civilians have been killed there. that is billing or reporting from keys in ukraine. but yes, thank you very much. and in other news, north korea has fired
