training alongside the u. s. warship. it's a site that may become more common here in the baltic sea. if finland and sweden are admitted into nato. that something president biden told the leaders of both countries he fully backs. de. i'm proud to welcome and offer the strong support of the united states. for the applications a to great democracies, and to close highly capable partners to join the strongest, most powerful defensive allies in the history of the world. but while biden may be keen to welcome sweden and finland into native se, if you would have turkey's president, edwin has made clear that he has objections in his europe. addressing the turkish parliament on wednesday, he accused the 2 nordic countries of supporting kurdish militias of turkey considers terrorist groups i go on and up. we have finished. president said that

they were trying to address techies concerns. the whole aaliyah's assa nato allies . we will commit to turkey security, just as turkey will commit to olive security. we take terrorism seriously. we condemn terrorism in all its forms, and we are actively engaged in combating it. we are open to discussing all the concerns. turkey may have other nato nations, a confidence the turkeys reservations will be overcome. but for now, at least it looks like it may be some months before sweden and finland can take part in these baltic drills as nato allies. earlier i spoke to jonathan cats about nato's potential nordic enlargement. he's a senior fellow at the german marshall fund, and i asked him what is needed to shift to turkeys opposition to allowing finland to and sweden join nato. yeah, i sure i share the belief that, that, that these,

the objections the tricky is put in place can be overcome. and of course, turkey has experience terrorism and loss of life. the p k. k. terrace organization is listed as the chair organization in the united states and elsewhere . so there's, there's some legitimate concerns in turkey side about is security concerns. and so it's raising them right now. you've heard leaders in both sweden and finland both say that they will respond. there's diplomatic efforts under way to engage and so on one hand that process is taking place. the most important thing is that this doesn't become for mr. eric one, a political football for him domestically given his poor standing and potential for upcoming elections. and so we want to take this out of, of turkey's politics. let's put it back into the important security. and right now

we have the most furious security situation in europe, in decades, finland and sweden right there. i need the support to move forward as quickly as possible, as president biden said today. and so let's hope that diplomacy works in this move forward. jonathan, how important is joe biden's show support to sweden and finland. this is, this is critical. and of course, a year ago today, we would have never have thought that the suite in finland would be moving in this direction. the entire effort and present abide in this place. such an important role is really highly the importance of the trans when the community today to address mr. putin's war in ukraine, the by an administration has been the lead on with partners and allies. and so having to present support, send a strong message to all nato members and including the us senate, which is going to have to vote on this. this next step is to bring these 2

countries along with other parliament and other activities across native membership . so this is a real big, important jumpstart, and that's why you saw the president with the prime minister and president today, talking about moving forward, moving quickly, membership, the nato. now you said moving quickly, now it can take years for a country to join nato. how long do you expect the process to take for sweden and finland? well, the expectation in the united states, what i understand is that they're going to try to move this as quickly as possible . hopefully before august. if not, then in september. so i can talk about the us in the us senate approach, of course, senators have their own mind and how they want to do this. but we already see strong signal to support both from republicans and democrats in washington to move this forward. now each need members state has their own process and the one, the one simply block that we see right now is what you raised earlier, which is jerky. you've got a, you know,

address these issues right now and move forward. but i don't see any stumbling blocks across the nato allies that we couldn't see this move forward quickly, but it's hard to tell what each government is going to do. this is all being laid out right now for the jonathan katz from the german marshall fund. thank you. thank you. hundreds of ukrainian soldiers are facing uncertain future after surrendering to russian forces in the port of mighty you pull. moscow says most have been sent to prison camp in eastern ukraine, controlled by russia. cave hopes to get the soldiers back in a prisoner swap, but moscow has threatened to put some of them on trial. soldiers surrendered to an unknown fate. this footage, released by the russian defense ministry, shows ukrainian soldiers laying down their arms after weeks under siege at the as of south steel plant. of the 1700 soldiers, russia says,

bodily contact or bodily fluids. while the world health organization says the general public should be aware of unusual skin rashes, expert stress, there is no need for alarm. it can then spread from person to person, but it's not very efficient at trench matching. and so what we normally see is maybe one or 2 people getting infected from that case, and then it dives out cuz it's not very infectious within human population. while authority stressed of the risk to the general public as long as they're urging any suspected cases to self isolate immediately in football and after i talked to frank for it's thrilling when in the euroleague. on wednesday, the team arrived back home to a hero's welcome in the city. around $100000.00 fans packed frankfurt main square
