for your brain. and so the alliance would support the country for as long as it takes when speaking at a press conference earlier assault and bergs and russia poses the most urgent threat to the alliance. we face a radical change to our security environments. on strategic competition is rising around the world. so today leaders have endorsed nato's new strategic concepts. it makes clear that russia, russia pulses the most significant and died a threat to our security. in the current concert, we states that the rush is a statistic partner. and our d. w in brussels bureau chief alexandra phenomena followed the press conference and joined us now from madrid. i think sandra thornburg saying russia is the most significant and direct threat. how significant of a change in this or the alliance? well, clara,

the says as fundamental change of nato security assessment in the euro and plan tick area. and we just need to remind ourselves that russia was mentioned as a strategic partner in the last strategic concept that was approved in 2010. and at this time to meet him at video that then president of the russian federation was even invited to participate in a nato a summit. so you understand that this is a fundamental change. and now nato is saying they understand that russia is seeking to establish fears of influence using annexation, aggression subversion. and of course, the reason for this different assessment is the war in ukraine, and we had a chance to speak with some officials after ukrainian president zalinski addressed to the leaders. and they told us that the nato leaders in the room. they really had this understanding that ukraine is not only fighting for european or trans atlantic

values, but they're also fighting for nato. there things in day looking very different than they have in the past. and what other key changes did you pick up on in nato's new strategic concept, which we just her against ulten bergen, bouncing well, i think what we also need to mention is that for the very 1st time china, it's mentioned in this strategic concept. and of course, it was important to address at china and, and, and, and china's growing influence. china is described in this concept as a challenge to nature's security and interests. it was especially important for the european allies to have the different wording there are different than compared to, to russia. because of course, as nato is saying in this, in this concept at the alliance is willing and open to engagement with

china. so china is a challenge. russia is a threat and finland and sweden are now of course on course for fast track membership of nato, after turkey lifted, it's a veto of them joining. how significant is this development very significant and this is a win win situation for finland and sweden and of course for natal, finland and sweden, belief that they will be saved being members of and better protected against any potential russian aggression when they joined nato and natal can be happy to have them because they are very close partners. they have been training with nato forces . they have been participating in missions. they bring very well equipped to well trained army, a cyber capabilities, for instance, in the case of finland and they membership will change the security situation in the baltic area. so a win win situation here. i center phenomena reporting for us from the dread. thank

you so much for that and let's get more on this meeting of from a romana gunter and go from did of the russia. i wanna ask you 1st about finland and sweden at joining nato. i mean, this is clearly the opposite effect of what russia hope to achieve by invading ukraine. what reaction have you been hearing from moscow? well, there is a mix, criticism and playing cool. we had some words from direction deputy for mr. cough. criticizing this decision by nato to open its doors for sweden and finland, saying that it's a negative move and, but it will not change the russian politics. and the rational will make sure that it will be protected and its allies will be protected. we had a reaction from the russian leticia constantine because the choke always, i kind of

a spokes person on foreign policy in russia. and he said that relations with sweden and finland will deteriorate. there will be more checks on the board. there will be no, no, no freedom of movement for some people leaving there in that area. just like in the as before. and in the days before the decision, we have that we had the reaction by the former russian president admitted who actually repeated the ration stamps on this issue. saying that we are not worried because we do not have any territorial disputes with those 2 countries with prevalent and sweden just like we have with you, great over crime yet. so russian is playing a play and cool. on the other hand, i would say we have to see that, and now it's meant by president putting a few days ago to deliver medium range missiles of type is going to bellows

in the west. as a kind of a reaction to this summit, the nato summit. so russia is going to deploy those new types of missiles in bellows and those are still capable of carrying nuclear weapons. this is also a response. we also heard from n dalton burg him announcing more military spending and even pre assigned roles for forces to defend specific allies, which is the 1st time we've seen this happen since the cold war. how we had reaction from moscow on that development. well, not exactly. we still have to wait and see so far we have so you see what, what, let's just say, i'm moscow. wrist is trying to say, we are not reynold him use. we don't like if we criticize it, but we already, so this is not an unexpected move for moscow. roman contract from the law these russia service. thank you so much for that update.

and ukraine's president volunteers. a lensky has urged the united nations to expel russia as a member and label at a terrorist state. he addressed the un security council after a russian missile struck a shopping mall, killing at least 18 people. russia claims it wasn't targeting the mall, but instead fired on a weapons depos nearby. according to ukraine, this was the moment to russian missile hit, sparking a fire that left the shopping mall and crab and chug 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. oops. of speech for so everything band. absolutely everything g o. like a spark. i had people screaming. i don't know how to describe it. it shocked me. if

it's horrible little's of it'll just, it's terrible beyond words. how many people with their rush hour people who are returning from work which lots of shops and sort of. there were always a lot of people in amsterdam versus selena. ta get it. i think you had to learn filling of the rushes defense ministry claims. it didn't target them all saying it struck this near by building instead. according to moscow, it was ammunition being stored here, exploding that started the fire that both ukrainian officials and locals denied. there was a weapons depot in the area, no residential buildings, the 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, which it must be impossible for russia to stay in the security council as long as its terrorism continues those up. i see williams, 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 our correspondence, nick connelly is in crime and chuck at that shopping center that was hit by a russian missile and nick, that video, we've seen that the ukranian government says, shows a russian missile heading the mall. what do you make of it? we been trying to work out how far this all stacks up, how it all fits. we went to the sites of the factory where that was filmed from, that's over there on the other side of the shopping center. and then where behind the impact site for that missiles strike. and we compared the location we compared

what we saw on that video that was published bible im zalinski grants president. and we thought we saw and it all makes sense. you got stuff at the factory in the foreground that is untouched. so that russian explanation that russian version but somehow that was the destination of the fact that it spread here just doesn't stack up to look find me here. there's basically devastation in the shopping center. but then there are green trees further over there that were not touched. the fire did not spread from that side. this was an in, by that hit this shopping center to behind me that you see where the roof of base been taken off. that is where the missile hit, and then suddenly further to my other side, you can see the bits where the fire engulfed, shopping center didn't bring the roof down, but basically turned everything that was there to dust. everything was inside that store, or it could be accurate. fumes still now and the firefighters having to wear protective equipment, but it is just very dangerous working there. they've been working nonstop for basically 48 hours and anal, basically largely occupied with trying to find the bodies of about 35 people that are still believed to be under those that rebel into the attack on that wall is the

most deadly of a series of missile strikes that we have seen on cities deep inside ukraine over the last week. how is that affecting how ukrainians are going about their daily lives? it's definitely a shock. it's definitely a wake up call. these warnings, these air raid signals, they often are owned for about 34 hours a day. so if you're trying to go about your daily business, we're trying to go about your job. basically you have a choice, but when earning a living and staying safe now people here have been telling us that there was an additional warning on top of the normal region wide warning for the city. a couple of minutes before this shopping center was attack that allowed a number of people we believe to get out and to head to neighboring buildings and their sellers. so had it not been without warning, probably much, many more people would have lost their lives. but it is very sobering, this a city that is hundreds of gumps away from the front lines where basically, they'd only seen attacks in the 1st few weeks of this war when russia attacked the oil 1st thinks that he, the citizens, then they had lot to be left alone and the base have been following the wall in the

news like everyone else. so the fact that this city, like anywhere else in ukraine, is very definitely within range of those russian cruise missiles has really brought home by this attack. and most people we've spoken to here who said they are going to sign up to fight. they may be, we're in the territory. i'm not sure if they want to go for the front lines. but seeing that even if they were just trying to go about their day life, their families, their friends, could end up the victims of russian results has really ramped home, the impact this war to people living in cities and ukraine. that a thought they had kind of got past the worst of this in it before i let you go, i wanna ask you about another development in this for on a russian at news agency task has announced that the russian controlled ukrainian region of her son has begun preparations for a so called a referendum on joining russia. are we seeing an effort here by russia to annex more ukrainian territory? different looks that way. at the beginning of this war, we remember the kremlin blood breach in talking about you, russia, having no intention to annex further ukrainian charity. that obviously is just as

credible as lots of the other caveats they'll, they'll promise that were made at the beginning. this will when russia claimed it was in this 2 quotes, denotes file ukraine, whatever that means. i think 1st of all, much as the warning this is wanting to ukraine, that if it makes more advance, isn't that part of the country where ukraine is actually doing quite well that russia will basically annex these territories, hold a referendum, the probably won't be recognized by any one but russia and then use that, that idea that this is part of russia to threaten the use of nuclear weapons, should ukraine try and take those areas back? and this is a warning to the wider world. it is now stepping up deliveries or weapons to ukraine, but russia is willing to escalate, at least rhetorically, was definitely a warning whether or not people here in ukraine of swayed much by this i don't think so. i think they're expecting that from the russian side. but definitely russia trying to carry out these kind of pseudo legal steps to somehow justify what they're doing, the economy reporting from crime and truck. thank you so much for that update. we can turn now to some other stories, making headlines around the world's tensions are high in india's in northern

rochester, on state a day after police arrested to muslim men accused of murdering a hindu taylor and posting a video of it online. the killing comes after months of rising tensions between hindus and muslims raising fears of more violence in restaurants, in china's commercial hub, shanghai are reopening after the cities to month. corona virus lockdown. officials say, dinars have to present a negative p. c. r. test taken within 72 hours and patrons dining time is restricted to 90 minutes. and the british socialite delaney maxwell. maxwell has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping sex offender jeffrey obscene abuse teenage girls. maxwell was convicted on 5 charges, including recruiting, grooming, and trafficking under age girls. her lawyer said she will appeal for sentencing. and in washington, a former white house aide has given

a dramatic testimony about donald trump's actions. when rider stormed the u. s. capital building, the aid said trump knew protesters were armed and try to seize control of a vehicle to drive to the capitol. she was speaking at ongoing hearings into the events of january 6th last year and, and raised her right there. having previously sought for for clothes, dog depositions or bids, form a white house aid was about to throw political grenade into the select committee, investigating donald trump's role in storming of the u. s. capital. he may be seated. cassidy hutchinson told the hearing. white house officials had been warned about potential violence and that donald trump was aware riots as were armed. when they arrived in washington, d. c. is hutchinson. is it your understanding that mister or nato told the president about weapons at the rally on the morning of january 6, as a miss or not related to me?

what followed was an excoriating account of an enraged president on the day of the capital siege. the president says an unsafe act of amusing president, camps the capital. now the present reached up towards the front of the vehicle, the crowd at the steering wheel. mister engel grabbed his arm, said sir, in to take her hand off the steering wheel, we're going back to the west way. we're not going to the capitol. mister trump unused his free hand to lunch towards bobby angle, and that's it. when the sonata had recounted a story to me, he motioned towards his clavicles, use the remote hearings 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, the de american democracy came close to collapse

and it has now been 7 years since paris was struck by one of europe's worst islamist terrorist attacks, which killed 130 people, all but one of the suspected terrorists and died at the bottom long concert hall and other locations to day a court is expected to deliver its verdict against the soul. living accused attacker. d. w. met some of the survivors for the past 10 months. caffeine baton felt she was in a parallel universe. she's a survivor of the battle and attack and still traumatized by that night's events. now she has been attending the trial and sketching portraits of those testifying, including some unsung heroes casa, sits in one year or so while listening to the civil plaintiffs. i realized how these terror attacks have impacted the lives of thousands of people on board. one police officer michelle arrived with his team at the bad o'clock just after the

attack began. they got every one who was wounded outside till the blizzard. then special forces got there and told michelle and his colleagues to go directly traffic, although they were covered in blood without it. it was only when he testified that people heard how michelle helped people that night. look with he and his colleagues had never got any acknowledgment from their bosses. avante corker, oakland, his older father, lawyer ashy. the court case has been hearing how the terrorist killings pre unfolded across the french capital. only one of the 10 attackers who were in paris that night survived selah of islam. he's become a focal point of the trial somewhat than while back in the past. i couldn't draw the terrorist surface. i was so unwell after the attacks that my psychologist and i decided i should just see the attackers as monsters. so i illustrated apt as long as the suicide belt with a beard, a voice. but as the hearings went on,

i got more and more desensitized and suddenly i found myself drawing optis one's face. it's like this court cases finally made me, except that humanity includes the best and the worst. it is a, i'm a new court room was especially billed for the mammoth trial, which has been symbolically important for france says are till the in war himself, a butter clan survivor and head of one of the victims associations. so the whole through this trial, frances proven, it's dreadful. what his legislation, even before 2015 was sound enough to judge what happened that night. the court case really has shown that terrorism is a dead end and doesn't produce heroes. that might seem obvious, but some youngsters are still attracted to his lamp terrorism. yet i hope this will make everybody understand that there's no future in terrorism and such attacks need to stop. you figure out on the alarm doors and folks apartment the end of the

trial is an important step for everybody involved. not just because of the verdict . smith thought they called in the show the little who are deeply implicated in the attack, such as selah after slam need to get a harsh sentence to refer. but the end of the court case also means i can finally be able to stop being a victim. i'll be able to turn to other things sold or domain. that's a big step forward. it is it valuable? what happened that night at the batter class will always stay a part of cutting. but some of that weight on her shoulder is now finally going to fall away or to shift gears and go to sports. now where tennis legend, serena williams has been knocked out in the 1st round of the wimbledon championship, the american had been out injured for a whole year and was making her singles come back at the grass grand slam. she lost

in a final set, tiebreaker to france is harmony. 10 after a dramatic match. the 40 year old williams was targeting a record equaling 24th grand slam singles title. and from the court to the pitch, the soccer world cup in katara is just 5 months away. and for the 1st time, female referees will work at the men's tournament. japan's yashimi ya mush ta says she will feel the pressure when she steps out on soccer's biggest stage. running into the unknown, a female referee has never taken charge of a men's will cut football much before. but japan's yashimi jamita hopes to do just that in cats are in november. she is one of 3 women nominated his referees for the 1st woke up in the arab world. despite the potential lunmark, she wants to go largely unnoticed. and his keen to let the football flo a loss in buying the stella,

pulling up the s and one of the big targets for referee is to bring out the beauty of the game. and of course, i will do my best to make that happen yet at all. what they must normally if i need to communicate with the players, i will do that a bar. yeah. to pick it up. the one if i need to show a cod oh show a cod smith. why sealed out of the world that rather than control and thinking about what i can do to boost the appeal of soccer unit or can i will kill and look up their annual civic young population. katara has been busy this week trying to show it isn't of accommodation for the world cup, including floating hotels as price is saw, but the pressure is not just on the host nation as yamashita well knows. the where shall i watch it all kate, the why must she started? i couldn't thinking of course, i think the pressure on me would be huge and i have a lot of responsibility. but i am really happy to take on this duty and the pressure. i tried to take it as a positive and something which will make me happy. mail referees will still be in

the majority and kata, but yamashita will change football. history. and african fashion is to get top of billing at london's victoria and albert museum for the 1st time in the museums, 150 year history and exhibition opening this weekend tells the story of the continents clothing and its profound influence on global fashion. african fashion is claiming its place on the world stage. after years of being viewed only through the post colonial lens. the exhibition showcases the vibrant depth of african design from the beginnings of the continents liberation in the 1950s to the present day. on display are more than 250 objects, including the works of 45 designers from over 20 countries. as part of a wider pushed by the victoria and albert to acknowledge colonial histories within the museum. it's a timely show. it was really important that she vital to have the sex sufficient
