i'm good. how else is welcome to the program? ukrainian president, florida. miss zalinski has addressed the g seven's annual summit. that's county on the way in germany, he joined the leaders of the world's richest democracies, as well as the european commission president via video link landscape called for tougher sanctions against russia and the delivery of air defense systems to fight moscow's aggression. he also said he wanted the war ended before the winter sits in europe. there 3 day, summer g. several leaders are seeking to signal unity as concerns grow over the wes long term commitment to ukraine. somehow joint in the studio by melinda granted. obvious chief, political correspondent and in elmore d, w, brussels bureau, chief of us, are phenomena join sort, joins us from the site of the g 7 summit. let's on, let's start with your g 7. just released a statement on ukraine. tell us more. while it is a strong statement,

as we expect that in this statement that the 7 leaders are showing that there are united and committed to continuing to help ukraine to uphold ed serenity and territorial integrity. and they're also saying in the statement, they are ready to support ukraine as long as it takes, which is a strong statement. i would say they're also speaking about to plan for reconstruction and rebuilding their country. so there are committed to helping ukraine in a long term. and of course, you can also find a very strong condemnation of russia's brutal war on ukraine in the statement. molina, as i just mentioned, reconstruction of ukraine, all of shawls has suggested that ukraine should get something like the marshall plan. i. so what does he mean with that? and is it likely to come out of this summit?

the marshall plan was the plan that of a enormous financial and, and economic support that the u. s. provided for europe and especially for germany, although in fact it was the defeated enemy of the us at the time following the 2nd world war. and it was that aid that basically stabilized an economy that otherwise would have been in free fall, thereby enabling germany to get on its feet not only economically, but also politically as a democracy. and essentially, when all f schultz promises a marshall plan for ukraine, he has is the same twin goals in mind. both economic stabilization, in the face of the enormous tragic destruction of urban urban centers, of infrastructure, of residential housing. and of course also the death of many, many ukrainians. so economic stabilization,

but also political stabilization to ensure that ukraine can be a vibrant democracy and ultimately a member of the you and of finance ministers from the g 7 countries in fact met. prior to this summit of the leaders and said that they would commit 19000000000 in reconstruction aid, the you taking also a very significant portion of that and ongoing macro economic support for ukraine's budget. because obviously it is also enormously strained by this war . economic help is wanting reconstruction a but also zalinski asked for more sanctions today more can you tell us about those sanctions? there's been a good deal of disruption discussion about a cap on the price of russian oil and gas. and this because essentially we've seen

something of an unintended consequence as the effect of western countries trying to win themselves off of russian oil and gas has not put depressed prices for those fossil fuels for coming from russia, but actually sent them soaring, meaning that vladimir putin today, or is a great deal more for selling his exports of energy, although they are now being diverted to other countries, no longer to, to the west, but he's earning more than he did initially. and that of course, is helping finance his war. so the idea of this price cap is that it would essentially target the main insurer of russian oil tankers. tele, not ensure, if you don't sell at the price that we demand, we will sanction you. and that essentially would theoretically prevent prevent sales at higher prices. it's a very complex mechanism detail still have to be worked out by g 7, finance ministers. and they would very much like to have other countries on board

because in fact, russian exports are being diverted to countries like china, like india. india is present in this meeting today and certainly that will be a topic on the agenda, whether it could be persuaded to put some distance between itself and vitamin putting when it comes to purchase as of energy use transmission. belinda india is one of the countries that have been invited as guests to a meeting that in the bavaria, the other countries, argentina, indonesia, synagogue on a south africa alex of the these leaders were invited to join. why is that so important? the german shall so all of shoulds made it repeated need to clear that from this point of view, it is important not only to focus on the west, but also to pay more attention to the large democracies in their latin america and africa in an asian of course are inviting those leaders

a he invited key swing states that are important in very many ways. when we speak about russia and holding the russian president vladimir putin accountable. it is important for their g 7 nations to convinced indonesia and india argentinean. of course, south africa and synagogue, that it's important to join the west to condemn russia's war on ukraine, on, of course, to join the international campaign to impose sanctions on their regime in moscow. and sir, in addition, when we talk about other challenges that the world is facing, for instance, climate change, of course, you need those countries to be on board to have her am bold term and it targets to have ambitious commitments. when it comes to tackling climate change. and of course,

there are other problems when we look at the state of the global economy and those countries invited here. i also impacted by the economic follow of the war in ukraine. and it was clear that is what the german chancellor made clear that he wanted them to be here. he wanted to discuss those issues with them. and he wanted to make clear that that g 7 leaders didn't want to discussed the issues about or what's going on about those countries without having them here in person. i some of them out there reporting from alma, from the g 7 some. thank you very much. know so thank you very much. melinda crane, our chief political correspondent, here in the studio and for one summit to another. now i had of a nato conference in madrid. this week, secretary general again start back says the alliance will drastically increase its rapid response forces as a result of rushes unprovoked invasion of ukraine. we will and hands are battle

groups in the eastern part of the alliance, up to be gade levels. we will transform the nato response force and increase the number of our high rudeness forces to well over 300000 will also boost our ability to reinforce in crisis and conflict. including with more pre positioned equipments and stock points or military supplies. more forward deployed capabilities like air defense, strengthen command and control, and upgrade to defense plans with forces preassigned to defense specific allies. nato g vianza, stoughton mac speaking, there are, am, are joined by did abuse a christina montoya in brussels when nato is headquartered. accuracy,

nato currently has 40000 troops on his eastern flag. so how is the alliance intending to boost its reaction force to 300000 troops? scared everything that we've just heard from the nato secretary general. or in that sound bite over there is all part of nato's new strategic concept. this is a 10 year plan that will be unveiled at this historic summit coming up later this week off of nato alliance. members, it is effectively nato responding to what the secretary general says is a more dangerous and a more increasingly dangerous world. it, it is all about increasing a large part of that is about increasing the alliances readiness to respond, making it stronger as well as making it more agile. he talked about battle groups there and since rushes invasion of ukraine, nato has doubled. for example, it's number of battle groups from, from 4 to 8. we've seen the size of those battle groups also increasing. beyond that, there is also going to be the, what they call the forward deploying. the says, for example,

as germany recently announced troops, i is a being stationed and trained in their home country, but i added in a position where they are very quickly and easily deployed at to another country. so in the case of germany, it would be a brit grade offer of troops that would be easily deployed to lithuania, for example. so that have to have an understanding of the terrain that they're going to be deployed in the event that that becomes necessary. this comes at a time where, where nato alliance members are also, as the secretary general put it, reaching or exceeding that 2 percent at defense spending at targets that you seen. he said mo member countries are looking at it at that 2 percent figure. rather as a floor or rather than than a ceiling. it also comes at a time with recent polling to shoot as the head of the summit that citizens are in nato countries support this increase or in terms of defense spending, they see that as important. so overall, this is a nato responding to

a more dangerous world, gearhart. so what else can we expect for when the motor allows music madrid low to this week? while china is going to be a big part of that, while russia has been designated as well as in this new strategic concept that i was talking about as the most significant and direct threat to nato. for the 1st time, you're going to see nato discussing the challenges that china poses, the threat that it poses to nato's interest at native security. we're seeing, for example, this pattern of this attack on, on, on, on the international rules based order seen as being perpetrated by moscow in beijing. and so you will see for the 1st time as well, members of the asia pacific, several countries are from the asia pacific region with strayer, japan, south korea. and that is being invited to the nato summit to take part in that conversation as well. okay, heart casino brother in brussel. thank you, christine. and before speaking of the g 7 summit,

ukraine's president warned russian pilots that he would find those responsible for multiple explosions that rock the capital keith over the weekend officials, they're say more than a dozen russian cruise missiles have hit the city, strives damage residential buildings and nearby and nearby school on sunday, killing one and hooting several others be warm before it is on monday. won't civilians to urgently evacuate the eastern city of lucy chanced that's in the don boss. region us, russian forces push to capture it onto w's new, commonly is in the ukrainian capital clear from earlier i asked him if russia is actually winning the battle in the don bus region. i think on the local level says that he chanced, yes, this is going in the way that the russians had hoped will be much more slowly and with much greater losses than they had expected. but i think if you kind of zoom out and look at the bigger picture, dumbass, they still only control about half of the done yet region. yes,

they control most the lo hunter region that makes up the dumbass. but they took most of that in the 1st few weeks when ukraine basically was fighting a war on several fronts the same time. so they've not made much progress in the best part of a few months. and you remember mario po fell to the russians in may. so basically this, the 1st big city 70 it's that has fallen russian hands now in. yeah, a month in terms of least a child's guess. there is always the risk that people leave it too late. that they don't follow those warnings until they can hear the fighting, basically around the houses, and then either can't get out or get out in a very dangerous way. and we've seen people lose their lives trying to get out. and i think the hope from the ukraine's had been, they would be able to hold on to this a chance. but it has quite a good strategic locations as a river. and some hills that are quite easy to defend. so if they were just fighting against russians trying to get to list a chance from 7 to one yet than they would have quite good chances. but the russians do seem to have outflanked them, are now coming to the other side. but there's no sense that this is a kind of celtic withdrawal and this is going to fall any time soon. this is painful street to st. artillery battles of the kind you're basically hadn't seen

since the 2nd world war. and yet all of this is going very slow with lots of lives lost among soldiers and increasingly, cities that have just been destroyed, wiped off the map, cities that basically no one's gonna be able to go back to what this war ends. the just gone. now keith, as for on time been so bad and the attacks now certain sunday rockets hit the city hard. people there and key of coping. i think it's definitely a very painful reminded that anywhere in ukraine is vulnerable to russian attack, however far away you are from those front lines. the russian cruise missiles, the hit, key of we understand were released were fired from the caspian sea. thousands of clumps away says busy no corner of this country that is protected. does this have been talk that you cranes, air defenses are good enough in terms of protecting from planes ahead and that's why we haven't seen a russian planes flying above you. crane or most of you keep certainly, but against cruise missiles, that's a much harder task and without western cruise,

missile systems of air defense that can deal with this kind of results. that risk is going to stay. i think, you know, there is a certain sense fluctuating if they're not going to let themselves be distracted or frightened that this kind of intimidation isn't gonna work. you still see people out in the cafes on the streets, trying to go about their lives. the people who have come back have made that choice, that they're gonna go back some kind of normality and one strike of this isn't going to change them. ok respondent calmly. they're reporting from keith. thank you . nick. now many teenagers from ukraine, fled to germany. now there are attending special classes to help them get used to live in exile. but as our next report shows that life is still far from normal. ah, music class is also an opportunity to relax a little these children from ukraine fled the country when war broke out, some of them with their families,

some alone. they've been attending this berlin school for 4 months now. and they're beginning to get the hang of the german language. after that, he can several things. i luckily most of them can already speak some english. often they have to translate family members and government offices, or even look for accommodation, all at the age of 14. where the families have a big problem to find a flat. it was so hard for me, for from one letter to the other. and we can't find one where we can stay a long time. and there is a problem with a sledge and also the money that like no one is working because my mother doesn't know the language yet. and of course she is learning,

but how she can like pay for our living and others stuff like that. and the for a huge plus is the teacher a barely wester. life has a social worker on hand to help. she's fully aware that the pressure on these teens is immense. the stresses they face in their private lives means how many find it hard to concentrate in class? it is really definitely tough going. it's not easy for them. it wouldn't be a lie to say that their transition into the mainstream school system will be easy. it won't, but it's manageable and we're here to support them. we're going to start with us and you, dog and schools on touch the will they stay in germany long term. the students are caught between 2 worlds, mornings german school and the afternoons. most of them have online classes with the ukrainian teachers. it's a busy schedule, and they don't have much spare time to get to know germany better. after far,

near flint insurance, through many of the students are taking online classes as well. ah, so let, unfortunately, neither system works very well as i'm pushing on to like a little in german, a little in ukrainian. they just can't learn that quickly. which is chanel learn and the spice to join. the teachers here want to help the students come away with the high school qualification, keepin, if they leave germany in the future, at least they can have something to take with him. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines. but he's in turkey, you have released there on 400 people that were detained during an outlawed pride. mom she central assemble, took his largest city, has van b, l g to hugh events since 2050. but large trout still gather every year, low residence bank to pots and pans in support. rescue as have saved more than 160 passengers and crew from

teenagers, as young as 13, the bars owner who wasn't on the premises at the time, said that young people had come to mount the end of school tests. and then is my place closed at the right time that it's expected to close? what happened is that this function started after midnight with the arrival of more kids from other places. coming to celebrate the end of exams, live with forensic investigations or underway. but authorities have ruled out a stampede as the cause of death, saying the dead weren't visibly injured. that's left grieving family members waiting for answers at local mortuaries. anson, i am the new. ha! i'm slowly get. i know one of the silly. we have a child that was there who passed away at the scene. that's the information that we

have received on it or not. we didn't think that the child was going to die this way. i thought this was a humble child, i'm respectful young. and she listened, but as we now get will always be kitchen for now. and angry and grieving community is left wondering exactly what happened to leave. so many of its children dead to find out more is joining us from is london in south africa is if our camera, a freelance journalist covering that story is super, very, very mysterious. what more can you tell us about what happened? well, are all very mysterious traditions, of course are we still are waiting for the official forensic report on that matter . but upon speaking to some of the survivors, they at an age that what it happened on early hours of sunday morning was that

a crowd was like, was dispersed by the establishment management using she had gas to remove those who are refusing to need this stablished meant as a trading hours when coming close actually closed down i. this is of course illusions. the survivors how is that was the word that we got from the management on this nourishment. they said that the one s t m sheet at that ensued during the junior take a number or the number of people that were present at that particular. but of course, the authorities then later came out and ruled out the cause of death being asked n p r i watching a c c t me footage that was played for the officials. so what's the most likely, when you talk to people there to the, to the survivors and possible witnesses? what is the most likely reason for these 21, beth?

well, some of the survivors that we had spoken to, of course mine, as, as you had mentioned, that his youngest, 13 years of age were actually telling us, one of them said how she escaped tragedy by actually climbing out of a window. and you can imagine you've seen the visuals of a 2 story. stablish ment. that's where she was able to actually break out of that window and managed to get a cell. now, according establishment management used, she, i guess as a form to the crowd that was refusing to leave the establishment or the premises brought back. and that's when, of course the chaos and where we saw the official stampede happening just off that . but now another mysterious thing that happened was that according to
