tourists not, but they ask us for support to join nato lee. all she will do. nasal is a secure, she formation dollars, a security organization without the nurse or we cannot say yes to deprive you know, security organization of security. so turkeys president, roger ty, a bad one has objections to sweden and finland joining the alliance. so i asked our correspondent, dorian jones, in his stumble while president out of the one is hoping to achieve. well, kind of person nerd one. this is all about double sanders. he says that finland and sweden want to join nato because they do have genuine security fears due to the fret posed by russia. but so finland and sweden, he says on not respecting turkey security concerns. he's accusing the 2 countries are providing sanctuary for a group that uncross blaine for carrying out the failed qu, attempt in 2016. and also 4 members of the militant group, the kurdish group, p k. k, which is internationally designated as

close ties to russian president vladimir putin. but the father earth, one has come out strongly in support of ukraine, has been a saw, an opportunity from turkeys, nathan partners to rebuild relations. but this present route has a, posing a major set back to those efforts, but unquote, belief that this is an issue that is prepared to stand for the math question of principal, and also a question of security. and then they, unquote, belief that has an awful lot of leverage to extract major concessions, not only from finland and sweden, but also probably from washington to dorian is the risk of any other countries objecting like turkey has? well i think that, i mean there was concerns about countries like possibly hungry which to has close ties with moscow. but the fact that that the, any country can wield one veto is enough. i think the one that has concerns will the just stand by and be very quiet and watch on crew. take all the flack and pressure and there will be pressure on that is very clear. the talk is for missed

another child for sure. louise in washington, where he'll be meeting with is your counterpart, and this is expect to dominate talks, but on cra at the moment it's any, a very clear message. it is not going to back down. there is concern to uncle could over play hand, but the end of the prison earth, one of his more than 20 years and power has a reputation as a man who doesn't bloss. dorian jones, in his stumble. thank you. russia says nearly 1000 ukrainian fighters have now surrendered at the as of stout steel works in money. you pull in, cranny in authorities are hoping they can be traded for russian prisoners of war. but some real makers in moscow are calling for them to be put on trial and even executed. ukraine says talks are under way to evacuate fighters still in the plant . there are fears, the ukrainian fighter is defended, the as of style plant in marty. you, paul, could face rough justice from moscow. russian tv show defeated troops being led away from the sprawling steel plant. russia says they will be treated according to

international norms, but there have been calls to designate the feared as of regiment, a terrorist organization, or a russian law maker. taking part in peace talks with keith said russia should consider the death penalty for the as of regiment. then the st. louis missouri ports that they do not deserve to live after the monstrous crimes against humanity that they have committed and that are committed continuously against our prisoners . upwards of lustre, bloom, shaw ukraine. officials remain hopeful their soldiers can be exchanged for russian prisoners of war. as national broken from our side, we can say that the negotiation process is ongoing and that the rescue operation itself is also ongoing. one 0, let us try. there is also been some unprecedented criticism of the war from unexpected quarters. sam aguilar enough enough that the main problem with our military and political position is that we are in full geopolitical isolation. and that however much we hate to admit that virtually the entire world is against us.

and that's the situation we need to get out of flats in lat that we got them. are you paul victory? marx, a rare win for russia's military in its 3 month invasion of ukraine. but it could be short lived, finland and sweden have made a joint application to join nato, a further set back to moscow's ambitions to contain the expansion of the block. moscow claims that nearly 1000 fighters have surrendered at the us of style still works. he has his helping for an immediate prisoner swap. i asked our correspondent mathias bellinger, inquired keith, what the most likely scenario could be? well, if for an immediate prisoners, what was likely they wouldn't have for that long? it was luckily a long time ago that they would not be able to win or to get out of there by their own a force. and it was also long clear that ukraine did not have the capacity to break through the lines and get them out of there. so the fact that they have stayed there so long, and so as it looks like even starving in the end,

it was due to the fact that they thought they would be mistreated in russia or possibly even killed. so this anxiety, this is shared by ukrainian society, is still there and we are also hearing from moscow. some signals met people in the politicians in more, in, in russia or public figures, calling for their, for the execution or, or to, to see them in court, et cetera. so all of this is on the table. ukraine is of course, hoping for a prisoner swap because that's the best thing they can hope for. but it's far from clear whether this will happen that is filling our reporting there. the united nations has launched a 5 point plan aimed at averting a global climate catastrophe. the un secretary general antonio quoterush is warning that time is running out as temperature as rise. scientists are also sounding the alarm for key climate indicators hit new records last year. they include greenhouse

a break either that we may thank makes us thirsty or where else are exposed to more heat, to have to work with cloth wrapped over head. and if we don't look at a headache, we cannot afford to stop working. um, because like what i can heat makes people less productive but staying outside for too long as many workers and even children are forced to do chemicals. fatal damage to organs. temperatures will keep rising as long as people continue to burn fossil fuel in a bit to keep whether it streams like this from wrecking communities. world leaders in 2015 promised to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius of the century. the average increased might not sound like a lot, but the effect it has on extreme is a matter of life and death. well, here's
