what it wanted. indigo, she ations the nordic countries, agree to turkeys, demands on arms, the exports and the expedition of alleged kurdish militants on day one of what has been described is one of nato's most important summits. in years. a major breakthrough sick and turkey dramatically dropped its opposition to finland and sweden becoming members of the military alliance. turkish president, wretched tie of aragon had blocked the nordic countries. membership bids because of what anchor perceived a support for kurdish militant groups. it designates as terrorists, but a meeting between nato secretary general. yes, dalton berg and leaders of the 3 countries at the start of the summit in madrid, quickly bore fruit in they thought we have always shown that what ever our differences we can always sit down, find common ground under sold, and the issues naples, open door policy has been an historic success. welcoming finan. i'm sweden

into the alliance will make them safer. naples, stronger, under you'd, atlantic area more soccer. the countries signed a joint memorandum on their common security after the meeting, felons and sweden's nato membership now appears to be a formality. it's a big boost at the start of the gathering, which nato will use to set out its strategic agenda for the next decade. shortly after arriving in spain, u. s. president joe biden emphasize the importance of the meeting to the host countries leader is to present your hosting a truly historic summit. and the key moment in our alliance, when russia's unprovoked invasion of ukraine was shattered, piece in europe, and shattered every norm since world war 2 has been in place ukraine. another significant moment on day one to charlton burg announced that the organisation

plans to cut it civilian and military greenhouse gas emissions by at least 45 percent by 2030. and be carbon neutral by 2053, 0 by 20. but it's the resolution of the rail on sweden and finland, which is a show of nato's unity and it's growing strength at a moment when it badly needs both of us crossover to madrid where terry shows our correspondence is standing by terry turkey. opposed the application of sweden and finland for weeks and now that you turn what made ada want change or change his mind? yes, it was, it was quite unexpected. and really something that is going to make nato leaders breathe a sigh of relief that this is not hanging over the summit, stealing all the headlines of it, making everyone talk about disunity. so the 3 leaders, as, as you saw in that piece, sat down and hashed out a trilateral agreement, a memo which has now been released in which finland and sweden basically restate their opposition to terrorism. and there

a lack of support for the p k. k. a kurdish group that of course, turkey and the european union as well. consider a terrorist organization. and in this memo they, they pledge not to support the y p g. that's a little bit tricky because that's a group of kurdish group that is an ally of the united states, for example in syria. so they may not have been providing support to this group. they pledge not to do so in the future as well. they talk about having no arms embargo. now fin linda didn't have an arms embargo on turkey. sweden did, and this is something that air to one really wanted to clear up. and secretary general suttonberg said as well, he doesn't believe there should be arm's embargoes between nato allies. so those were some of the big points that allowed this to go forward. so what are the assets that sweden and finland will bring to the alliance? these are 2 of the wealthiest countries in europe, and not only that, but because they didn't plan to join nato until russia invaded ukraine this last

time. so they have very resilient and self reliant militaries. finland has one of the largest armies under reserve in all of europe. sweden has a very powerful navy, and of course both of these countries have had to be very wary of russia for their entire existence. so they're going to bring a lot of intuition and experience about this threat that they can now share with new allies. so natal members aside, one of the major decisions lying ahead for that. notice on that. now everyone can concentrate on those things, get hard and they are some really big changes for nato. the biggest revamping in the alliance is entire existence. they're going to, for example, multiply the number of troops that are on reserve in high readiness, in case of an emergency from 40000 now to up 230-0000. that could be called on if there is a threat to nato territory coming across the border with russia. that's one of the biggest changes. there are also going to be more troops sent to these 8 enhanced

forward presence groups that are now in, in the 8 frontline countries. those are things that, of course, the eastern allies have been asking for and now they're going to get some of those reinforcements. countries will announce what forces they have on reserve in case of emergency, and that information will be held by nato's top commander. so a lot of really big changes here for nato. people are in nato are, are quite excited about this. terry schultz and madrid that thank you very much. terry. ukraine's president rather ma zalinski has addressed the united nations security council, demanding that russia be labeled a terrorist states. he also released a video claiming to show the moment when a missiles struck a shopping mall incremental hook on monday, killing at least 18 people. so lensky said the video is evidence that russia deliberately targeted civilians at the mall. the video canopy independently verified russia claims it fired precision guided missiles. as our weapons depot,

the lensky herbs, the security council, to expel russia from the united nations, shall then it is imperative to deprive the russian delegation off the opportunity to manipulate the un. it is imperative to make it impossible for russia to stay in the un security council until it stops committing terrorism. you are, it is imperative to establish a tribunal to investigate everything that the russian military has done to the ukraine. yes. and it is imperative to give the legal definition of state terrorism at you. in level 3 rushes, actions must be investigated. and global sanctions imposed for russia's destruction of the international legal order even on europe. the but are correspond, nick commonly is increment shook, where the missile has struck that shopping center. nick, the ukranian government has released the video that it says shows the moment of the

explosion. can you tell us more about that video? well exactly that is video, which is that looks to be from a closed circuit, t v a for kind of a surveillance system that shows a dark missile strike, you see some factory kind of storage in the foreground. and present zaleski says that that behind is the more we weren't there yet, we're hoping to get that factors and see to be able to recreate and to kind of work out if all the kind of locations fit what the cranes say it is. and i think it's important here because the russians since base yesterday, the most part have been spreading a version where they say that they hit the weapons. what they say was weapons storage. and then fire crossed from there, spread from there to the mall rather than directly on the mall. now, when we talked to locals yesterday, near that mall, they just loved that version. they, she pointed at basically very intense destruction that mall in one part busy walls

that had been knocked the ground while the parts had stayed standing and burnt out . and said that is an impact, a direct impact that is not far that spread of so we're not experts, we can't kind of reconstruct that. but that's definitely the, you know, the impression that most people here on the ground have. nick, you said you spoke to people there, increment of 2 days after the attack. what's their mood? what are people telling you? i think it's general mood of shock. this is a city that is 100 clumps away from the front lines and that thought the most bought it was in safety. the city's most important fidget object, the while refinery had been destroyed earlier in the war. the fact that basic people going about their ordinary lives at a mall on a week day could end up the victims a russian missile strike. that was something that i think basically most people here had not counted with the had thought that risk was had passed. and up to this very deep shock that you know, in a situation where you're having to basically deal with air, raid warnings every day that you know, if you don't pay heat them, if you don't take safety, when these warnings come,

then this is the price that you can end up paying in situation like this with russia really, where you were on ukraine over its entire territory with all those myself. and the russian news agency task just announced that the russian controlled region of cas on has begun preparations for a referendum on joining russia. what more can you tell us that they've, they've been talking about this for a while. i think this is partly a threat towards the authorities and give that basically, if you don't get back to the negotiating table, make compromised to us, then we will just unilaterally annex even more of your territory. and we'll see the, the kind of underlying for under this is that if you crane tries to then regain had so once russia has carried out this kind of referendum, then russia would say, this is our territory. this is russia's quarter. and we will use nuclear weapons to protect them. so that's the kind of underlying threat with all this weather ever gets to a reference was another question, but definitely tough talk coming from moscow right now. normally they're reported from cremeans hook in ukraine. thank you, nick. let's have

a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. authorities in the philippines have order the shut down of an investigative news website, founded by noble p peace prize. laureate maria theresa, reza and her outlet rappel and have repeatedly faced legal action over their criticism of outgoing president, rodrigo detected. reza said she would challenge the order in court and will follow them. you don't. vigil has been held in texas to mourn. the 51 migrants found dead and abandoned truck near san antonio. to mexican nationals have been charged in connection with the death. the truck was found on a known human trafficking route from the u. s. border with mexico. in washington, a former white house aid has given dramatic testimony about donald trump's actions . when riotous stormed the u. s. capital building the aid said trump knew that protesters were armed and tried to seize control of a vehicle to drive to the capitol. she was speaking,

since the fact of i'm the acting president, kicking up the capital now the present reached up towards the front of the vehicle to crab act. the steering wheel mister angled grabbed his arm. said sir in to take your hand off the steering wheel, we're going back to the west way. we're not going to the capital. mister trenton used his free hand to lunch towards bobby angle and missed it when the sonata had recounted a story to me in motion towards his clavicles. he's probably the remote, he rings to follow in the coming weeks, but this is the closest the investigation has come to the inner workings of the white house on january 6. but day american democracy came close to collapse. some small susan, our tennis legend, serina williams has been knocked out in the 1st round of the wimbledon championship
