[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, business dw news live from berlin, a fundamental shift for nato leaders of member states, including us president joe biden gather and been treated as the alliance,

radically reconfigured it strategies to fend off feature aggression. many of those nato ladies just left germany and the close of the g. 7 summit, chancellor, olive shoulds pledging the group will drive out the cost of war for russia. a grim reminder of the horrors of war as emergency personnel search for the missing. how do you cry? shopping mall destroyed by russian missiles at least 18 people are confirmed dead. and dozens of migrants are found dead in a truck in texas. almost 50 people perished and sweltering conditions near and known migrant smuggling roots. ah! i am rebecca writ as welcome to the program. nato secretary general n stolberg has called on member states to boost their military spending in the face of continued russian aggression against you. crime. he made the comments as nato laid as gather in madrid for

a critical security summit. the leader of the alliance also address the issue of china, not condemning russia's invasion of you crime. we don't do god, china as not this area and, and try not, of course is soon the biggest economy in the world and we need to engage with try and off instantly. shes like, like climate change it not just for the, the whole and the market. but we are disappointed by the fact that china has not been able to condemn the russian invasion of ukraine. that china has spread the many of the false narratives about nato, the west and the china and russia are more close now than ever been before. more i'm joined now correspondent jack pack his there in madrid. jack things have kicked off there. we just heard from in shelton bag on china. what, what can we expect to come out of this summit in terms of support for you crime? it's interesting, rebecca, that they decided the shopping bug decided to talk about china because in quite a lot,

lot of analysis concerned this sum here in the drill with the 30 leaders of the nato military alliance arriving. stay that actually the issue of china's increased militarization that, that might not be addressed throughout this summit because of the key issue of russia's invasion of ukraine, sort of taking the limelight. now we know that joe biden, the u. s. president, has now arrived. he did a short press conference with the spanish prime minister, padre sanchez, just a short time ago in which he said that they need to discuss and that they did discuss between the 2 of them, the need to keep weapons flowing to ukraine. we know from the loudermilk zalinski, the ukranian president who will address this summit via video link at some point that the ukrainians are saying that they've received only in the region of 10 percent of the weapons from international partners that they need in order to continue to fight this war and i, one of the lead is going to be talking about, they're talking about this strategic concepts that they want to put together. they

want the issues that nato face is not to be just dealt with year by year. but instead for this summit to lay out a sort of 10 year plan to look at the more long term with the security concerns, of course, the security landscape having changed so dramatically since russia's invasion of ukraine. and to that end, we know that they're going to put $300000.00 troops on regular, on they toes eastern flank, with russia. and that's a sevenfold increase from what it was before that announcement. so this is a pretty major shift, a pretty major summit where they're going to be discussing this in the the reality is they're going to be discussing how these countries, which is kind of individually supported ukraine, can pops. do that in a more collective way within the lives. now take the leaders of turkey, sweden and finland have also been maintained. turkey has been a thorn in the side. all those 2 countries attempts to join the club. do you think that that will be ironed out at this summit as well? well, the nature such general yeah,

and so most certainly hope so he's been attending those meetings with the, with the 3 leaders of turkey, finland, and sweden as well. turkey has pretty much said it's going to flex, it's vito all the way up until finn and sweden designate the p k. k which is a curtis or militia group, a separatist group as a terrorist organization. as turkey wants them to, they accuse finland is in sweden. of harbouring pre p k, k terrorists as they call them fin in sweden. so that's something not the case. but both of those countries also have some kind of arms or bands on selling arms into turkey as well. so these are issues that need to be ironed out they've, that's the initial thing that's been put into place that having these meetings today. and we also know that the united states president joe biden is going to have a one on one with the turkish president. rush up to have i had one on wednesday during this summit as well to try and discuss this. they know, as far as, as far as the concern is that, that this summit will be considered something of a failure. if that isn't progress offended and sweden in their applications to

become nato members. rebecca, i'm chang, thanks very much for that. up day. jack's very for us image read at nato summit comes off the back of the g 7, g, g 7 summit. rather, that's come to a close here in germany with a pledge to explore further sanctions on russian oil member countries. also a great to spend billions to address global food shortages caused in part by russia's invasion of ukraine. german chancellor, olaf shalt closed the 3 day summit saying actions by the g 7 would drive up the cost of war for russia, which he accused of causing a worldwide hung. a crisis laid his pledge to reduce fossil fossil fuel subsidies, but also allowed public funding for natural gas projects to to the effects of the war on energy supplies. michelle's also said the world needed to help you crime rebuild here some of his closing remarks here. hm. auction on the hood and we also talked about long term reconstruction. and we're put forward additional funds for

this. but we need to come together as the g 7 and also other european union members are hostile to discuss the reconstruction under the old personal yawn. we need a marshall plan. ukraine just has to be well planned and develops 4 plan to do this is what we have set out to do plant and vicar to happen to sundance woocommerce. ah, chief clinical at at a mechanic hefner's been following that j. 7 summit for us in bavaria. mikaela, what were your main takeaways from the g 7? 0, really the resounding support for ukraine, which in itself is nothing new, but there are always question marks hanging the air of how long this kind of united front of the west is going to continue in the face of the fall out on the financial markets are also rising fuel prices, food prices, and inflations. these are all, at least to great part effects of that very crisis in here. there was the message,

1st of all, the very gloomy one or from a german chassis sholtes that he doesn't see an end to this crisis. yet to this rule, then from dubai in the u. s. presidents that ukraine will be supported militarily and substantially financially for as long as it takes those were his words. and that these g 7 nations already thinking of the time afterwards, or with that martial floor plan there. so supposed to be a don't is conference to put to get the reconstruction plan for ukraine all have showed the german chancellor cast into global spotlight in his 1st year as counselor at the g 7. how did he do swell? quite clearly. m, do biden was dominating this scab ring. he did heat locks of praise on all sorts of leadership advice at the beginning when they had that one a one before the kickoff here, even but at the same time was complimenting him. he said there was

a question of how this transition from michael to him. it would happen that she'd done a great job and it was thanks to his the, to sit that the west is united. and at the same time, he had a separate, a press conference with several leaders on the infrastructure program that is at the forefront of american interests. this is a clear signal to china is set against the belt and road initiative by china that china is using worldwide to gain influence. so there was a pledge of $600000000000.00 and total dale's or not all of that. if a sure is a fresh money he seen as a good mediator here, and i think he's one leader sip credential. here is bringing those countries to the table that very much matter what is essentially standoff between russia. also in the china camp and the global democratic count, that is something order. so it's trying to organize by bringing india to the table

in denisa. we tend the d 20 presidency at the moment and there he's made some headway, although there was no mention of ukraine and russia in a joint statement on democracy or i. michaela. thank you very much for that. they w mechanic hofner in bavaria a g 7 leaders have also condemned russia for carrying out a missile strike on a busy shopping mall in central ukraine, calling the attack a war crime, at least 18 people were killed on monday when missiles hit the building in the city of crime and chuck around a 1000 shoppers were reported to be inside at the time. ukraine has requested the united nations security council meeting over the strike rescue services worked through the night, looking for survivors still trapped in the collapse mall. dozens of severely injured victims, somewhat life threatening wounds have been taken to local hospitals. anchorman

shook. they describe harrowing scenes just after the russian missile struck you, but you? yeah, i do. through the air and shrapnel. hit my body. bother the whole place was collapsing . then i landed on the floor and i don't know if i was conscious or unconscious. i didn't understand anything. i opened my eyes and i saw a big piece of rubble was in top of me, and i started to scream, help me you for my heat, your officials say the missiles struck when over a 1000 people were inside the shopping mall. hundreds of rescued emergency service workers are still scoring the rubble searching for survivors or for purple. but according to the preliminary police report, they're still people inside the shopping center in missouri them. so you crewman shock is an important transportation hub and home to the countries biggest

oil refinery. ukraine's president voldemort zalinski described a strike as a terrorist act. designed to coincide with the most business hours and cause maximum loss of life data direct government. but the whole only absolute psycho terrorists who should have no place on earth can launch misses of such an object. and it's not an incidental hit by missiles. it's a precise russian strike or exactly on the shopping center. some old sea turtle, but any. so russia has recently stepped up, its missile strikes across ukraine, showing a hockey on monday, killed 5 people, and we'll do 22 more, including 5 children, according to authorities. the northeastern city has suffered heavy bombardment since the very start of the russian invasion on february 24th on the gib william there were such explosions. i don't even know how to describe them. windows were shaking their beloved, almost someone told me something happened to my father in law. i came close and he

was laying down still alive as if it literally was in 10 minutes. he started losing so much and that was it. despite russia's claims, it isn't targeting civilians, it's once again, ukraine's alarm population. that's pain, a heavy price for the russian invasion. now, correspondent connelly is that the same as that attacking crime and chuck nick? good to see you. pretty mangled. same there behind you. what's the latest on the rescue operation? or indeed, and to smell, the acrid smell is still heavy in the air and this is more than 24 hours since this blast happens, you can imagine what it was like in the 1st couple of hours. and some of the emergency services have already left that were making sure that all the blast that all of the fire rather had been extinguished. but there's still lots of such rescue going on. and we're hearing information from the governor of this region who says that up to 30, maybe potentially more people are still unaccounted for,

potentially still under the rubble here and over 20 dead. and some still a very critical condition. so pretty extraordinary damage in a place that is hundreds of come to a from frontline, where people thought that basically they were for the most part away from the main action. this city's most important, reggie object, the, or refinery, ukraine's biggest had been basically destroyed months ago. so there was nothing left to take there. so people really hear shocked, have discovered that, you know, this war is basically everywhere that they can't ignore any sirens, any arizona because this reality, this danger, is very prison. even speaking to people there on the ground would have been telling you i think it was largely a question of disbelief. the results people, when we got here standing with their bikes, of the fuel was pretty scarce right now. so people using a bikes to staring at the shopping center, something very, very normal, very banal, something, nothing that has any particular signal, symbolic significance in the fact that so many people on an audrey working day had lost their lives. i think people just couldn't quite process it yet. lots of us

fire people, lots of emergency services, taking a break under the, in the shade nearby of exhausted after basically 24 hours of work. and generally, just a kind of question everyone's eyes, how much on this go on and how much more they're going to expect to put up with am . and you, i asked question that really us itself in this situation is how long people here ukraine really going to have the stamina to put up with this before they start asking a government maybe to think about some kind of concessions to russia. that's that, the 6 vacation from russia that this, these attacks karen that the discontent in the frame corporations going to grow? well, that's right. i mean, the fighting is continuing, of course, in the aisd. what is the latest on the front lines? well, for now, the brush is still putting a lot of pressure on the chance that's the nearest city to 70. the net which was basically, you credit, ukraine's biggest loss and rush biggest gain over the past month. incredibly intensifier going on there. people living with electricity without water, and it's the few civilians left, they're busy with no option to get out russia trying to in circle uh city. and the

last couple of hours. we had news from napa early for a rather big city. not that far away from where our current shook that also has been hit by russian air strikes. so far, the route, the authorities, their own racing too much to have in detail. but it seems like rushes really going for the logistics here trying to attack the cities in central ukraine. the base, the, a crucial to moving supplies to the army further east in terms of your weapons, but also just food and basically the sticks that busy keep this country together. the cities that are long, the big bridge, the bridges long ukraine's main with the pro are crucial. and if they end up being destroyed in their infrastructure ruins than ukraine's gonna be in a much weaker position to keep on that fight. nice. all right, thanks very much for that update. make connelly for us in cramming chuck central ukraine. well, let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. scotlands at 1st minister nicholas sturgeon has announced afresh, referendum on independence from the united kingdom, that invalid legal action to ensure

a consultative vote goes ahead. even if the british government tries to block it about is set to take place in october next year. prominent russian opposition figure alexander valley has appeared at a court hearing via video link. it's the 1st time he's been said in public st. being moved to a high security facility earlier this month, apparently was arrested and sent to prison shortly after returning to russia last year. sure lanka has restricted fuel sales to essential services only for the next 2 weeks. it part of a desperate bid to cope with a severe shortage till anchor is grappling with its worst ever economic crisis and is struggling to pay for imports of food medicine and few now to a tragedy in texas, so far it is, there have found $48.00 people dead in an abandoned truck. they included migrants from mexico, guatemala, and honduras. more than a dozen survivors, including children, were taken to a nearby hospital. the trunk was found some 250 kilometers from the u. s. border with mexico on

a major transit route for people smugglers normally quiet san antonio road, transformed by tragedy authorities were allergic to the scene in a city south western outskirts. on monday evening, after a worker and a nearby building heard a cry for help and found the trailer with its doors, the jaw and dead bodies within officials said, dozens of people thought to be migrants from central and southern america were found dead at the scene. while multiple survivors were taken to hospitals suffering from heat related conditions, the paces that we saw were hot to the touch. they were suffering from heat, stroke, heated soft in ah, no signs of water in the vehicle. it was a refrigerated tractor trailer. but there was no visible working ac unit on that rig. we're not supposed to open up

a truck and see stacks of bodies in there. and none of us come to work imagining that. so we're working through the behavioral health of our folks right now. san antonio, ma'am, was also at the scene on monday. so the plight of migrants, city refuse is always you humana, terry, in crisis. but to night we are dealing with a horrific human tragedy. local police say they have taken 3 people into custody. by that it isn't clear if they were directly connected with the incident. a federal investigation into just who left these people to die in a hot trailer is under way and a northern mozambique now in a state of jihadist related violence that has display some 20000 people just this month, islamists have been attacking villages and parts of the cover delgado region that were long considered safe from thought strikes. the region is rich in oil and gas, but investments worth billions have now been put on hold. he's moved from de w correspondent,

adrian crayfish. they just want to leave here in and club. the district and hundreds of people are waiting for a lift. desperate to get to safety after several villages, where tech by islamists, in recent weeks, many places are now deserted. the village of watch out on the edge of the district has been spared until no residents are discussing what to do next. problem. premier room on the very episode again, we need to protect ourselves better. we need to check the identity of the people coming here. but we also want to welcome those people who are fleeing. we're going to go and take care of them that they have taken in 60 people from neighboring villages so far out there or under our village. none of 1st they set fire to the villages close by while we were

surrounded, but then we saw a chance to escape higher, so we ran 10 and we survived, but they burned our houses to the ground. i'm just tired and my feet are swollen and heard. we walked 30 kilometers to get here overland planning member. but we locked for 3 days. spent a night in the bush with our children. we are tired, but we feel much safer here. until now, they have not received any support from the government. the insurgents have been pushed out their previous strong holes in the north of the province. and although observers say they are not as strong as previously, the attacks on villages around here is causing fear and panic. they are inflicting gorilla style warfare on communities that were previously considered. safe vaccinate to places near the elephant while they ate organization's fear that the

conflict could spread. and we were surprised that the conflict moved to the south that week. a more bullish in our moving to the from places village. one of the more complex i think, yes. the capacity of the systems when we what we would see. but i think yes, we would, we would face some, some of the largest secondary school in one to push is already at full capacity. since the beginning of the crisis, the number of students year has doubled to 7000 is new management has had to turn away newly arriving displaced, student aluminum with god. you know, some, we have a water coming up like this. it's difficult that some classes have 100 students, some up to 140, but doesn't make it easy for the teachers, as you can see again. so stop, but there's hardly any room to move when i want to properly move, i want to say the number of forcibly displaced people in northern was em. beek continues to grow 8 organizations say they expect even more people to leave their

homes in the coming days. fleeing the ongoing violence and from all i'm joined by guy taylor from unicell. he joined me from my pita mozambie guy. welcome to the program. i understand you've just returned from cover delgado province where these attacks occurred. can you share some of your experiences with us? yes, certainly, so that's right now on the ground capital last week. and it really is quite distressing to see the situation that people are experiencing that we know more than 36000 people have actually been displaced in the province and very concerning for us. you know, staff is the fact that more than half those people are children. i myself last week, matter mother who had a 10 month old baby who's suffering from severity nutrition, which is actually the most the most deadly form of malnutrition. fortunately, she was an area where, you know, stuff is providing treatment format, but there are many, many of the children,

many parents and families are experiencing similar situations and they need on support and you know, so it really needs to be a big priority at mood. well, as we just saw, these attacks have for thousands to flay what local officials doing to help the displaced so you know, stuff is working very closely with the government and with thomas from across the united nations hillside. i think there are a few things that we're doing and that can be done. so firstly, you know, the 1st part is really to get these people support with basic supplies and things that, you know, they need many of flat homes with just the clothes on their back. so you can work with you and how to distribute things like basic supplies. so for example, i want to verification tablets,

simple things like bucket basic sanitation and hygiene suppliers. foods, not materials that can be used to contribute construct shelters. basically, you know, getting these people the things they need to stay alive and stay in basic good health for the coming days. then we'd be working to ensure that these people have been displaced. the children have access to basic health nutrition services. so these are people who are already in difficult circumstances. many children already suffering. for example, from malnutrition, like the mother and child, i mentioned just now and really need immediate access to these services. the company cuts off from them too long is that also constructing temporary learning spaces. so basically temporary structures where children can continue their learning with writing with basic basic teaching supplies. and we're also working to, i did for children who are unaccompanied, are they lost their parents due to conflicts,

or they've been cut off from family relatives and making sure they can be access to protection usually within foster families. so a number of things happening is all it needs to be done is a very serious crisis. and just briefly i, we are running out of time. but how difficult is it for organizations like yours to work in such difficult places? williams has been in mozambique for 6 years, and now you know, we're staying in kevin o'connor casa, and we are delivering what we really need at the moment is scale our resources use of around $100000000.00, which would allow us to reach more than a 1000000 people is actually about one 5th, a more on that to, to help these children get through the, the very challenging times. like i thank you very much. best of luck with everything guy taylor with unicef, mozambique. thank you. the you, i think data is up next and a w news, asia,
