the pressure. i tried to take it as a positive and something which will make me happy. male referees will still be in the majority in kata, but yamashita will change football history. you're watching dw news live from berlin. if you're just joining us, we are waiting for a news conference to begin with nato secretary general. yes, stoughton barracka, that's at the alliance's summit. is taking place right now in madrid. stoughton barrack has billed the summit, is a game changer that will alter the alliance for years to come. they, to leaders are expected to declare russia as the main threat to their security. he was previously labored, labeled a strategic partner, also finland and sweden or being formally invited as members after turkey dropped. it's opposition to them. joining russian official warned that expansion would be stabilizing. and that in a said that nato was acting aggressively,

will be bringing you stoughton bags. news conference live when it does get underway, which we hope will be shortly. well, earlier at the summit, the head of the alliance against old burke said the summit would change nato again for years to come. old i, we will agree that biggest overall while we collect the vents, the 3rd and since the end of the cold war and us is of course been much. busy to that, and then we will invite finan the soon to join april and then we'll start with naples store is open. oh, it the most. i thought the president putin has not succeeded in closing that glassdoor. but he is getting the opposite. the wealthy won't see once less, they thought it was, the boot is getting more and they thought, boy, of finance written, joining our alliance. so here's a quick look at nato. a. currently the north atlantic treaty organization as its full name is, consists of 30 members that includes the u. s. canada,

most of mainland europe, the u. k. and turkey. if finland and suite a sweden joint as expected, they would significantly bolster the alliances northern flank. both countries have cooperated with nato in a limited fashion for almost 30 years now. and they bring additional military assets to the table. that includes finland's, more than $200000.00 reservists and sweden's submarine fleet. but finland also shares a 1300 kilometer border with the russian federation, and that could lead to additional tensions with moscow. i spoke earlier to d. w, correspond terry shultz, she's in madrid covering the nato summit for us. i asked terry how turkey was persuaded to drop its opposition to finland and sweden joining were not yet sure, terry exactly what happened behind the scenes. there is a lot of suspicion that the u. s. had something to do with it from afar,

although they had said they wanted to stay out of it and make it very much of a trilateral issue. but in the end we have documents that are signed. so we know exactly what was agreed to yesterday between the 3 leaders and president air to one is purchase portraying this as a win for him. finland and sweden are saying, you know, we didn't really give away that much it. but the main point is that the finland and sweden are declaring their support for turkey. they will reinforce their efforts to counter terrorism and for turkey that means against the p k. k, which is a kurdish organization that's already designated as a terrorist entity by the entire european union. so of course these 2 countries as well, they will take into account turkish information when looking at extradition requests . there are kurdish people in finland and sweden that turkey would very much like to have sent back the finishes. we just governments aren't too keen on that. there will also be more movement on imports and exports of arms. now finland in particular, said it never had an arms embargo on turkey,

but that it would consider both importing and exporting more weapons. now, once it becomes and nato allies. so these are things that budge turkey in the end. and as you can hear from all of these comments, they are very, very happy here at the nato summit to be able to talk about unity instead of the headlines they otherwise would have been dealing with and deter the deal in sweden and finland. joining nato has been widely welcomed within the the alliance. here's what us present, joe biden said earlier in his meeting with nato secretary general was looking for the physical ization that you're going to get. the data was ation of yours. and that's exactly what he didn't want with exactly what needs to be done to guarantee security for you. and i think it's, i think it's necessary is looking forward to happen, the president biden. they're describing what he called the nato zation of europe. and they to is, in fact, getting ready to announce what's being built,

terry, as its biggest strategies to strategy shift since the end of the cold war. tell us what the main changes are underway. that's right, nato will adopt at this meeting a 10 year plan looking into the future. but there will also be many practical changes. and the biggest among them is that the number of troops kept on high readiness will rise from 40000, as it is today, up 230-0000. that is a massive increase and it will depend on all allies putting at nato's hands. resources that range from troops to, to weapons and a pre positioning some of those resources in frontline countries. a, there are 8 battle groups now a lining the eastern flank against russia. and we will also see countries increase their funding above the 2 percent of g d. p, that is now the nato aim. and president biden, in fact, just announced a huge increase in us resources. and that is going to span not just the eastern

countries, but here they're also going to be reinforcing in germany, in italy, in the u. k. very important for poland, the u. s. will put a permanent army headquarters there. now, the word permanent has always been very touchy with nato because it, there were agreements not to permanently station along russia's border that was blown away with, with rushes, invasion of ukraine, like so many other understandings. and the u. s. will also be reinforcing in romania and they're talking about thousands of troops. so this truly is going to be an historic summit in terms of how nato is building up against what it now sees as a very persistent threat from russia. that's going to last for years to come. terry, thank you so much for your reporting, and i look forward to talking to you throughout the day. that was our correspondent terry schultz. there. at the nato summit in bedroom ukraine's president followed him. usa lensky has urged the united nations to expel russia as a member and label it a terrorist state. he addressed to you and security council after

a russian missile struck a shopping mall, killing at least 18 people. russia claims that did not target them all but fired on weapons depos nearby according to ukraine. this was the moment to russian missile hit, sparking a fire that left this shopping mall and cram and chuck in ruins. and dozens of people dead and missing. with rescue workers still picking through the rubble in the city. far from the front lines. residence are in shock. super feature thing bend. absolutely. everything looked like a spark. i had people screaming, i don't know how to describe it. it shocked me. it was horrible. with those of it'll just, it's terrible beyond words. how many people with their rush hour people who are

returning from work, lots of shops, i'm sort of. there were always a lot of people in, i'm sorry, sicilian ta get it. i think you have to listen to the rushes defense ministry claims. it didn't target the more saying it struck this nearby building instead. according to moscow, it was ammunition being stored here, exploding that started the fire, but both ukrainian officials and locals deny there was a weapons depot in the area. no residential buildings, a shopping center, a football field normally treat infrastructure in 1st to put it on tuesday. present zalinski urged the un security council to take action in response to the attack. and for the was, while, it is imperative to deprive russia the opportunity to manipulate the un that it must be impossible for russia to stay in the security council. as long as it's terrorism continues those up, i see them. but with russia holding veto power on the council,

there's almost no chance for it facing consequences at the un for the destruction and death here in kremlin chuck i spoke to our correspondent nick connelly who's in your criminal shook earlier. i asked him to tell us more about the video released by the ukranian government that it says shows the moment the miss al struck them all. that video which similarly comes from a security camera, shows a missile hitting in the foreground. you see some industrial equipment stored, we haven't be able to get there yet. we're hoping to get there in the next few hours to see the direction from which it was filmed to make sure that fits the geography here. but certainly, if you talk to people here on the ground locals, they point to the patent destruction behind me of this shopping mall. once i basically fully collapsed, they say that the impact, whereas l aside burnt out, the russian version is that a fire spread from the factory behind the small and that it's, you know, spread to the,

to the mall by mistake to destination. maybe of some of those weapons, the ukraine side dismisses that and puts the fact that there is quite some gap between the area of the factory that was hit and the small that those claims wouldn't have spread. so this is now a question of fact checking up to just on the ground, trying to do those calculations, get that information to be able to challenge those narratives. it is also important to put out the russians are coming out with lots of different and mutually conflicting versions. want wait, what went on here? some pro russian media was russian government media talking about attack on the oil refinery, which a tankless way. others talking about an attack on the train station, which wasn't hit, that is also not far away. and then finally, some russian topic mounts talking about ukraine attacking itself to try and get sympathy and support internationally. so lots of different narratives coming out of moscow, conflicting narratives and, and seemingly. yeah, an attempt to try an obscure war actually went on when went on him. nick, we seemed several missile strike, sir, with deep inside ukraine over the past week. the attack on that mall in chrome and

chalk is the most deadly. how are people in ukraine reacting to all this? well, definitely, it is shocking. it is scary for people who may be thought that they are in some kind of safety here. hundreds comes from the airlines definitely. now where the fighting has kind of localized itself along the front lines and the attack on the rest of the country that we saw in the report, this war has largely finished. but this is of the reminder that those arid warnings are crucial, even if it's very inconvenient every day. basically, you have a couple of hours where those air raid warnings are in place. and most people trying to go about the day long trying to burn living. i just not able to actually spend all that time down the seller all hiding somewhere. but this of see a painful reminder if you ignore those warnings that this is the risk that there is no part of ukraine started. it is out of range of these long range russian cruise missiles the russian news agency tass, announced that the russian controlled region of cason has begun preparations for a referendum on joining russia proper. could that mean, nick,

that russia is planning to annex more ukrainian territory? deputy looks like that as being the war. you remember, the russian said that this was not their intention. they said that they were not interested in occupying biting bits off of ukraine, that this was about d knots upon ukraine. what of that means? and demilitarize in ukraine? now that is all long forgotten, and it seems like they are now try to hand out russian passports in these areas and, you know, hold some kind of referendum like they did in crime. in 2014 reverend him. that wasn't recognized by anyone outside russia as fair or free to try and justify taking that territory. now we don't have much more detention. the timing's when this is gonna happen. this is tiffany. a threat from moscow not only scare, but also the west that russia is willing to escalate. and if ubs it and ukraine tries take both those searches that russia considered its own, then russia might end up using nuclear weapons, defend them. so definitely willingness to escalate, at least in terms of rhetoric for moscow. very much evidence. nick, thank you very much. shar corresponded nick connelly. they're in kremlin shock.

ukraine. germany and the netherlands have announced they'll send 6 additional howitzer artillery units to ukraine. that's on top. the 12 dispatched last week, germany also trained ukrainian army personnel to use the weapons. ukraine has welcomed the delivery though. some say the howitzers have come to late. here's a close up look at the new weaponry being deployed on the front lines in ukraine. we make our way through bushes anew. crane's eastern front line in the middle of a patch of woods stands, a howitzer tank from germany. it's the 1st time the ukrainian army has taken journalists here. this ukrainian soldier just returned from germany days ago. for more than a month, he was trained there. the time pressure for the troops is enormous because the russian army is advancing further in the east many field. the arrival of these

howitzers is long overdue. the oven was there. i think it's too late. much too late, but why should remember we should have been prepared before february 24th. and it was known that the russians would attack us, amazon seamless still between them, they'll never leave us alone. we should have been prepared in time. the trouble with watson watson for weeks they've been fighting a losing battle. one of the soldiers shows us a video of their operations with completely outdated technology, but that's about to change. 12 howitzers have now arrived in ukraine 7 from germany and find from the netherlands. their location remains top secret no moves ever leave your keyboard, no matter in which army of the world artillery is the 1st target for the enemy to eliminate when you're wiring because this technology is especially dangerous for them before i would have nail numbers,

which there's not much we are allowed to show on the front line this morning. the german army has told ukraine that even the inside of the howitzer tank needs to remain a secret brochure or buy from us. they asked us not to film inside. they were afraid that the information about the technology would fall into the invaders hands level drop a little obama on the tank, a provocative message to any russian troops they may meet. ready that too, is part of warfare. take a look at smother stories making headlines to day. authorities in the philippines have ordered the shut down of an investigative news website, founded by nobel peace prize laureate maria ressa, messa and her outlet rattler have repeatedly faced legal action over their criticism. about going present, rodrigo detailed to reza said she would challenge the order in court will follow indian police are on alert after the killing of
