such for the missing had a ukraine shopping mall, destroy fine. russian missiles at least 18 people are confirmed dead. aah! i'm rebecca writt is welcome to the program. nato secretary general. yes, shelton burgers called on member states to boost their military spending in the face of continued russian aggression against ukraine. he made the comments as nato ladies gather in madrid for a critical security summit. the later of the lines also addressed the issue of china, not condemning russia's invasion of you crime. we don't do it regard china as now. the sorry, under on china, of course, is soon the biggest economy in the world, and we need to engage with china instantly. shes la la climate change. it matters for all the all energy market. but we are disappointed by the fact that china has not been able to condemn the russian invasion of ukraine,

that china is spreading. many of the false narratives are about nato or the west. and also that china and russia are more close, nodded ever been before our correspondent jack pack is covering the summit in madrid. i asked him about the significance of those comments on china. it's interesting, rebecca, that they decided this open book. they decided to talk about china because there's been quite a lot, lot of analysis concerned that there's some 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 in 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 ukrainian 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. now what are the leaders going to be talking about? they're talking about this strategic concept 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 longer term with the security concerns. and because the sick it's each 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. and the, the reality is they're going to be discussing how these countries, which is kind of individually supported ukraine, can perhaps do that in a more collective way within the alliance. now take the leaders of turkey, sweden and finland. i've also been meeting taki has been a thorn in the side. all of those 2 countries attempts to join the club. do you think that that will be ironed out of this summit as well? well, the nature such generally in stoughton by 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 finland and sweden designate the p k. k which is a kurdish, a militia group, a separatist group as a terrorist organization as turkey wants them to. they accuse finland and sweden of harboring pre p k, k terrorists as they call them. finan in sweden say that something not the case, but both of those countries also have some kind of alms benz on selling ons 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 to 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. recipe 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 the failure if that is in progress for finland and sweden in their applications to become nato members. rebecca, i'm chang, thanks very much for that up day jack barry force inventory and on some night her ladies flew and directly from southern germany after the end of the g 7. summit of wealthy democracies. that 3 day meeting was meant to showcase a unified front against russia. it resulted in a deal to pursue more sanctions on russian oil and a pledge of several 1000000000 euros to address food shortages caused in part by the war unity among close allies. that is the symbolic message. the g 7

aim to send to the world, despite a litany of problems facing the planet. the atmosphere at the final session on tuesday seemed relaxed. on monday, ukraine's president joined by video link. russia's war dominated the talks. the world 7 largest economies of the e, you determined to support ukraine for as long as it takes that the summit also looked forward to the time after the war. especially since the films, the most important thing is that we want to get together from the perspective of the g 7 with also with others, including the european union. to discuss the question of reconstruction tehane, we need a martial plan for ukraine and it needs to be well planned and developed. that is what we've set out to distance working across the globe. countries are feeling the knock on effects of the war. so was good that leaders from the global south joined the summit. nations like india, indonesia and senegal,

among their concerns the fight against hunger. to address that the g 7 and the you have established a global alliance for food security pledging of a 4000000000 euros. this year to help those facing the worst shortages. another major focus of this summit, the battle to protect the climate short spoonful with a plan for a climate club. open to all nations willing to commit to the goal of limiting temperature rises to 1.5 degrees and becoming emissions neutral by mid century. this, this is ally, we all agree what the future holds, which is not guess this is particularly true for germany. we want our economy to be c o, 2 neutral in 2045. and that has consequences for the question of the use of fossil resources. whether it's coal, oil, or gas gases, g flat bed climate activists, some of whom protested near the summit, venue. se extending use of fossil fuels even for a short time, is the wrong response to energy shortages. we are angry that leaders are at the ant,

a commit to long term targets, but not commit to the immediate measures needed. or to give it clear frame to the industry to face odd fossil fuels and to enter into renewable energy in it much more rapidly. those arguments will continue, but for now, short said the g 7 has demonstrated what democratic alliances can achieve from the bavarian mountains, the world's richest countries standing in solidarity against a backdrop of uncertainty. analogy 7 ladies have also condemned russia fe, carrying out a mis airstrike on a busy shopping mall in central the ukraine, calling me attack a war crime. at least 18 people were killed on monday when miss allen hit, the building about a 1000 choppers were reported to be inside. our correspondent conley is in the city of crimean. shocked at the sight of the attack, he described the aftermath and gave us the latest on the rescue operation. indeed,

and the smell, the acrid smell, is still heavy in the air. 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 we're 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, am 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 the frontline, where people thought that basically they were for the most part away from the main action. this city's most important 3 d object. the, or refinery, ukraine's biggest had been basically destroyed months ago, so there was nothing left to take there. so people really here shocked, have discovered that, you know, this war is basically everywhere that they can't,

you know, ignore any sirens, any arizona because this reality, this danger is very prison, even speaking to people, they are on the ground. what have they been telling you? i think it was largely a question of disbelief. there was lots of people when we got here standing with their bikes, of the fuel was pretty scarce right now. so people using their bikes to staring at this shopping center, something very, very normal, very banal, something, nothing that has any particular signet, 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 going to expect to put up with am and you? i asked the question, it really asked itself in this situation, is how long people here you can 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's of to the expectation from russia that this, these attacks come, that the discontent in the ukraine corporation is going to grow? well, that's right. i mean, the fighting is continuing, of course, in the aisd. what is the latest on the frontlines? well for now, versus till putting a lot of pressure on this, a chance gets the nearest city to 70 minutes, which was basically, you credit ukraine's biggest lawson rushed. biggest game over the past month. incredibly intense fire going on there. people living with electricity without water and the few civilians left their busy with no option to get out russia trying to in circle uh city. and the last couple of hours we had news from nipper early for a rather big city. not that far away from where i can come and shook that also has been hit by russian air strikes. so far, the route, the authorities, their own reaching too much to have in detail. but it seems like russia is really going for the logistics here trying to attack the cities in central ukraine, that basically a crucial to moving supplies to the army further east in terms of weapons, but also just food and basically the sticks that busy keep this country together

the cities that are along the big bridge, the bridge is long ukraine's main route. the pro are crucial and if they end up in destroyed in their infrastructure ruins than ukraine's gonna be in a much weaker position to keep on that fight in these. all right, thanks very much for that update. nick connelly for us in cram and chuck central ukraine. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. no scotland 1st minister nicholas sturgeon has announced afresh referendum on independence from the united kingdom sturgeon valve legal action to ensure a consultation 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 like santa valley has appealed at a court hearing via video link. it's the 1st time he's been seen in public since being moved to a high security facility earlier this month and only was arrested and sent to present shortly after returning to russia. last year shall anchor has restricted
