ah, ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, more united than ever. that's the message from u. s. president joe biden on nato as the war and ukraine enters its 2nd month at an emergency summit. biden's says the united states and its allies are determined to help ukrainians resist moscow's assault. he also says bratia should be booted out of the g. 20. also coming up on the counter attack. brains, navy says it has destroyed a large brush and landing ship off the port city of britain. the vassal had been

used to supply russian troops with armored vehicles and north korea to have fires effected intercontinental ballistic missile that land in japanese territorial waters. and tokyo says it may be a new type of missile and calls the firing an unacceptable act of violence. ah, i am abby, quite awesome, while come to the program. you as president joe biden is in europe to discuss the ongoing collective response to russia, an invasion of ukraine with allies, the e, u. g. 7 and nato are all meeting not only to send a united message to the kremlin, but to impose and strengthen penalties on russia for its attack on a sovereign nation. biden says, russia should be removed from the g 20 and has asked ukraine to attend the group's

meetings. he also says his country is ready to help europe resettle 100000 refugees with an aid package of $1000000000.00. and by reiterated that nato is more united than ever. good was banking on, nate, obey split my early conversation to them in 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 new crime, he's near correspondence, her shoulder is at the alliance headquarters and brussels. terry. good to see you now, biden says nato is more united than ever before. he's in europe to show his solidarity with allies. but the alliance has made it clear once again that it will not directly intervene militarily. that's right, abbey, nothing's changed on that. president biden said that nato had achieved all of his

goals in the beginning, and that is to impose harsh economic sanctions on president putin, to build up his own eastern flank and to help ukraine militarily and financially. but as you said, that does not involve putting any nato soldiers inside ukraine. it hasn't even meant getting fighter jets to, to key of as, as a president. zalinski has repeatedly asked and asked again today, but nato staying united president biden was very bullish on that. now in terms of china, he also spoke of china, do you have a message for beijing, terry? that's right. he said that he had spoken with president she about a week ago and made clear to him and bite and said, you know, it wasn't a threat. but i, i made sure that he understood that his, his goals to, to draw closer economically to the you, to the european union and to the united states would be put in jeopardy if it were

to support russia. he said he made that absolutely crystal clear. and that european commission president ers of ursula of underline, would be delivering that message again to china in the coming days. so a president biden, a as a secretary general un stolberg putting china on the spot to say, we know that russia is asking you for support, and we're telling you that's a very bad idea. let's listen to part of what stilton berg had to say about nails. new security strategy. today, nathan leaders agreed to reset our turns on defense for the longer term to face and you secured it the reality on line. we will have substantially more forces in the eastern part of the lawrence at high year readiness, with more pre positioned equipment and supplies in the air. we will deploy more debts and strengthen our integrated air and miss on defense. at c,

we will have a carrier storage groups, submarines on significant numbers of combat shapes on the persistent basis. so bolstering as eastern flank there. terry, what do you make of that statement? that's right now at 1st listen, people might think that this is just more of the same what nato has been doing since even before the invasion of ukraine, sending more troops to his eastern ally, sending more equipment. but one thing we should listen to insult him brief statement is that he said this is going to be a persistent presence. and that's something that's been changing at nato. just in recent days, the alliance has decided that it will make longer term plans for these forces to stay there. this is something that wasn't possible before, because there was an agreement with russia that there wouldn't be permanent basing of troops along russia's border. they say this deal is out the window and now they are looking at making these reinforcements permanent. let's talk

a little bit about the possibility of russia using chemical biological or nuclear weapons in ukraine. nato says that would change things. but what does that mean, terry? what more would the alliance do then? that's right, a secretary general stilton berg says this would really be a sea change in the war. and that is because not only, of course, would it be a catastrophe for ukraine and, and nobody wants to see more of that. but with a chemical attack that doesn't stop it, you cranes borders. and so there's a high likelihood that un and nato l. i could, could be contaminated by a chemical attack, and in fact, abby, we heard that today, nato has activated for the 1st time ever, a task force on chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons. and that it is now looking at how to reinforce in its own allies counter measures in case such an attack occurs. so that's an historic event that we heard today, and that just indicates how high the concern is that russia really may be looking

at using a chemical weapon in ukraine. president zalinski also providing without warning. and today he renewed appeals from further weapons from nato. and he's asking now for one percent of needle weapons and address today, how did need react to his request. i nato secretary general stillberg was asked directly as was boris johnson, how they would respond to this, this very specific request. and neither of them had an answer that you know, that nato is, is not itself providing weapons to ukraine as individual allies. stilton berg did say that, that countries had made announcements in this meeting today that they would be providing for their equipment to ukraine. and some of that equipment, as we discussed earlier, would also be a to a, to counter a chemical possible chemical weapons attack. so there would be medication and a and other gear needed for this. once again does underscoring, this is nato is very, very worried about this war, escalating in a,

in an incredibly dangerous way. dw correspondent terry shoals. thank you for this. terry. after a month of war, russia invasion of ukraine has bogged down reportedly with the ground offensive stalled. in several places, the russian military has been increasingly targeting civilian infrastructure, and yet despite the huge number of ukrainians suffering, the country's military has so far been able to keep russian forces at bay against all odds. flames and smoke billowing from a russian transport ship in the harbor of russian occupied baird. yonce lines for humanitarian aid. stretching in front of bombed out apartment blocks in the heavily struck city of mar, you pull a month into russia's war and ukraine. every days, full of images that only weeks ago were difficult, if not impossible, to imagine in modern europe. the sun was shining in keys and no bombs were falling

for the moment as soldiers and civilians reflected on a month of war, grains as legitimate ukrainians have united as never before perhaps under god. this makes me very happy. the pin and the russians made a big mistake coming after our country in our land, where we will fight their throats, which our homeland fellow shuddered them massively away. morale is as high as on the 1st day and it will remain so until the last day. victory day, he remain determined. ukraine has proven its resilience, but sustained bombardment, bodies in the streets, and life in bomb shelters with limited or no power or heat. we are bound to take their toll on even the bravest. with my furnace was id egless. i feel hopeless to help with a lovely one doesn't know what to do next and how to behave. am i? so i try to keep calm and only hope that everything will be over years city can all,

will be fine, as it was before for over to and to see the smiles returned to people's faces. and our chances to enjoy life returned to us. they read you think i left you a month ago. no one knew how long ukraine could hold out against russia. and yet, despite the told to human life and infrastructure and the sheer size of the russian war machine, the underdog is still standing. a correspondent that she is billing or is in keith and sent us this assessment. we have just returned to kia. we've been away for a week in with western part of the country and her. 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 rations a bit further away from the city. that at least what we hear. but the fighting is close enough that you can hear it if you are in the city center. however, it seems to be like at the trends, simself shifted a little bit. that's the feeling here on the ground, 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, i'm, while russian troops have advanced to these places around key of where they are now quite quickly. they have 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 north 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. here's a look at some of the other developments in the war. a reporter working for an independent russian website has been killed in keith news outlet. the insider says,

excellent by nina, died when russian forces, shall the suburb were 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 mauer, has held talks with russian foreign minister, sergei love rob. in moscow. the red cross president told russia it must abide by international laws on humanitarian conduct in war. now are also plans to discuss the issue of prisoners of war with defense officials was injured. to with the german parliament is debating a relief package announced by the government in response to spiraling energy costs triggered by russia invasion of ukraine. the measures include a 3 month re debt reduction rather, and fuel tax and a discount on public transport as if it world health organization says about half

a 1000000 refugees who fly ukraine will need treatment for mental health disorders . the w h o is stressing the need for immediate support. as a refugee crisis grows with many struggling as our families are torn apart. the country is bordering ukraine have become a haven for millions of people fleeing the war. they arrive in poland and moldova desperate for safety. natalia escaped shelling in michel naive, but left her husband behind. oh we are, we fled when they started bombing. that's why we decided to leave our home 500 meters away from us. there was a rocket explosion. it was very scary. that's why we decided to leave with. many families have been separated by the fighting and i took a risk and fled with my daughter, but i relatives the 2 scared. my older daughter with her child was too scared. how could she manage? yep, he's only 4 years old,

but it's also scary here. we don't know where to go now. those as, as soon as life with those so been the conflict, has created the worst refugee crisis since the 2nd world war authorities are doing what they can to help you arrivals. most of the children here are without their fathers who are required to stay in ukraine to fight. the world health organization says arrivals are not only suffering from a range of physical health problems, but also psychological distress. the need for psycho socialist support because people have been suffering or not children are displaced from their family. so this is tremendous mental health threats. number one, number 2, or what we call non political diseases for chronic diseases. people with high blood pressure. we've got to do vascular disease with diabetes. host treatment has been

interrupted. and the 3rd one or the comical diseases. first and foremost of it, 19 several you states on taking ukrainians in. but while these refugees have reached physical safety, many will need a lot of support to help heal the mental scars left i want, they've experienced not branded other correspond, max xander, who is standing by at the polish ukrainian border max. we know that poland has already taken in more than 2000000 ukrainian refugees so far. how is the situation unfolding where you are one month into this war? right, so the situation here on the ground in fallen in the border region is evolving pretty much everything that's happening on the other side of the border in ukraine, sooner or later on. we'll have an effect on what's going on here right now. but at

the moment, it seems at various points here in the region b, at the train station and change that which is the 1st point of entry from any training refugees. a clean by train or the border crossings, or places like this one right here in chemistry. in the city the seems the situation has become a lot calmer over the last couple days and maybe just to give you a little impression of what the situation is right now. this is a former warehouse, a vacant warehouse um, which now serves as a registration. now for passengers and for people who come to ukraine, have come from ukraine to poland and i need to continue on and there are n jose on the ground as well, helping out serving some food. and you can also get some medical attention your donations are being handed out collected by volunteers and, and cios and by the municipality. a lot of groups they're pitching in,

but it seems said that as you can see, that there's not a lot of traffic here right now. this is due to the numbers having gone down of new arrival, some by 3 fold. so at the moment this is a much needed rest for, for some volunteers we spoke to for some of the infrastructure here on the ground. and, but everybody knows that the situation sooner or later a could change a could if the russian military mix significant gains in ukraine. this could be that a lot more people could come in. this situation could look very different. very so, max, the polish prime minister has said the european union needs to crash rash. i would sanctions, poland has also floated the idea of the need of peacekeeping for us in ukraine. is there a sense that poland is not fully satisfied with how its allies are responding to this war? right, i mean we, we are very strong words from the polish govern, in particular from the polish prime minister. obviously,

let's not forget that poland is a frontline country, so to say there's a war raging on their doorstep. everything that happens in ukraine and in terms of the war is going to be felt here. people coming from flying from ukraine, 1st and foremost, come to to poland a this being sent a lot of it goes through poland. so suppose has very much to do with what is going on there. but we also have a sense that there's also some, some fear that pulling could face for the consequences in one way or another. so there's a, yeah, a post leadership is very much outspoken and asking for yeah, very for you that for very strong measures against russia. you said rightly show prime minister movies. he's asked for a natal peacekeeping mission. this has been rejected. he's also asked been asking for stronger and more sanctions, for example, the banning of trade on sea and land router with russia entirely. now how much of

this is realistic? is that clear? but the bottom line ism, that polish government definitely is concerned, dw, correspond. max vander at the polish ukrainian border. thanks for this max. naps and the other stories were falling for you. this hour. emergency crew is at the sight of monday's plane, crash in china. say they have found more pieces of the aircraft and human remains. they're still searching for the 2nd black box, the flight data recorder, to try and figure out what caused the boeing $737.00 to suddenly nose dive from cruising altitude. 132 people were on board. all our presumed dead yards. jamaica has prime minister has told britons prince william that the caribbean island aims to become a republic. the remarks come during a week long tour of former british colonies by prince william and his wife kate protesters have been demanding britain formally apologized for slavery and pay

reparations. 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. tokyo says the projectile flu for over an hour and landed some 150 kilometers off japan's west coast in the countries territorial waters. if confirmed, it would be pyongyang 1st intercontinental ballistic missile test. since 2017. joining me now is darcy cloud, a political scientist and post doctoral fellow at the institute of korean studies at george washington university. thank you for the taking time to speak to d w. now, north korea has launched a long range missiles successfully for the 1st time in 4 years. south korean and japanese military officials are calling this the country's biggest test ever. why has pyongyang taken the step now?

well 1st i think we've seen north korea has made incremental progress over time, even though it hasn't launched a long range missile since 2017. it's been, it's been launching short an intermediate range missiles during this time. all it is to say that north korea is one step closer, closer to hitting the continental united states, as well as the stable. i think the reason we just heard the japanese prime minister considering possible sanctions what could further penalties impose on north korea look like? well, japan has, has its own form of sanctions that includes it forbids trade with north korea also to free assets of those that are associated with the regime nuclear weapons program . japan's interest really in this is not only to stave off north korean nuclear weapons program, but also to repatriate japanese citizens that it alleges north korea has, has abducted dorothy talk to us about south korea's response today. it fired

multiple missiles in response to the north test. now there are some critics, i'd say this could potentially lead to escalation. what do you think? i think the south korea responses on par with how it's responded to you. big missile test, the big nuclear test in the past, south korea from vantage point, needs to show that it's ready and willing and able to, to counter any sort of north korean threat. i think that we're not seeing a rapid escalation right now, but rather a brief and finally response to the icbm test. now south korea has a new president. what kind of relationship are you expecting to see now between the 2 countries with this new leadership? yeah, this is a really important question, considering the outgoing president, when jane was largely characterized by a very soft engagement type approach to north korea that we thought

a lot of movement on, you know, who was just elected earlier this month, has a much harder stand in line with many concert in south korea, i think that we're already seeing, and we'll see continued hard line approach toward north korea, and the prospects for continued test to the scale are much more likely going forward. darcy, dr. postdoctoral fellow at george washington university. thank you for your insights. thank you. a major moment today for women's equality and football on the best players in the game. ah, hi. gerberg ended her boycott of international matches. hagar berg said she satisfied with a response to our hiatus and agree to rejoin the norwegian team for the 1st time in 5 years. she was the 1st ever female winner of the ball on door trophy in 2019 while playing for french club leon or international focus has been one greater respect for female players,
