a civilian center since the war began. our correspondent is at the scene with the latest. ah, hello, i'm claire richardson, thank so much for joining us. nato meters declare russia the main threat to security as a new strategic plan is defined for the military alliance. the new plan extends a welcome to likely future members, finland and sweden. it also makes clear that russia has lost its position as a strategic partner since moscow's invasion of ukraine. sweden's prime minister, magdalena anderson arriving at the nato summit. but if all goes to plan her country, along with finland, should soon put aside decades of neutrality to become members of the military alliance. and this is the man making it possible. after

weeks of wrangling turkey's president, reject type ad on his dropped his opposition to them joining, giving current members something to smile about at the summit of a full line, she's going to welcome finland and suite of restoring application for membership and their decision to move away. busy from neutrality, remove traditional neutrality to join. no life is going to make stronger and more secure, and nato stronger. the summit comes against the background of russia's war in ukraine, which is forced nato to rethink its mission. we face a rather cold change or to our security environments on strategic competition is rising around the world. so to day leaders have endorsed naples, new strategic concept. it makes clear that russia,

russia poses the most significant and direct threats to our security. in the current concert, we states that the russia, it's a strategic partner, she, to drive home the point, ukraine's president of a low to me as lensky was on video, leading to remind nato, what conflict with russia looks like lives in the shop that has maybe not a healer shepherd to this is not a war being waged by russia against only ukraine. this is a war for the right dig, might conditions in europe for what the future world order will look like. some of that is why it is absolutely necessary to support ukraine now with weapons and funds and political sanctions against russia, which will stop at being able to pay for the war. and the nature promised it would not tenants back on cave present the landscape made clear that ukraine there lies on our continued support. and our message to him was equally fair.

ukraine can count on us for as long as it takes the us has already said it will increase its military presence in europe, including a permanent garrison in poland. it seems the russian threat to help to make nature look the strongest it has to use and are dw russell's bureau chief alexandra fun nominees in madrid and followed at that press conference with the unsold and burn. earlier i asked her how significant it is that nato is now calling russia the most significant and direct threat to security. well, clara, this as fundamental change of nato's 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, she made 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 spheres of influence using annexation, aggression subversion. and of course, the reason for the 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 heard insult in 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, security and interests. it was especially important for the european allies to have this 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 nato 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 de membership will change the security situation in the baltic area. so a win win situation here. i found jeff and i'm reporting for us from the dread. thank you so much for that. and robin gunter and go from our russian service has been gauging reaction in moscow to the announcements. well, there is

a mix criticism and playing cool. we had some words from their action deputy foreign minister and mister coff. criticizing this decision by nato to open his 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 british constantine because it show up ways 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 years before. and in the days before the decision, we have that we had the reaction by the former russian president admit 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. we're prevalent and we just like we have with ukraine over crimea. 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, nato summit. so russia is going to deploy those new types of missiles in bellows, and those muscles are capable of carrying nuclear weapons. this is also a response. we also heard from install convert 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 a ronald him use. we don't like it. we criticize it, but we already, so this is not an unexpected move for moscow. roman contractors from the of these russia service. thank you so much for that update. and meanwhile, ukraine's president volunteers lensky has urged the united nations to expel russia as a member and label it 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 them all saying it had 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. superficial thing bend. absolutely. everything like a spark. i had people screaming, i don't know how to describe it. it shocked me. it was horrible. those at those, if it's terrible beyond words, will cover 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're from a feeling of 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. clue, no residential buildings, the shopping center, a football field, normally treat infrastructure in infrastructure. on tuesday presidency, lensky urged the un security council to take action in response to the attack. and for the was, while, it is imperative to deprive russia of the opportunity to manipulate the un, it must be impossible for russia to stay in the security council as long as its terrorism continues those up. i see museums, 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 church or correspondence, nick connelly is in crime and chuck at the sight of the mall. i asked him about the video that ukraine says shows they strike on them all. we been trying to work out

how for 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 and compared what we saw on that video that was published by volume zalinski grants present. and we thought we saw and it all makes sense. you've got stuff at the factory in the foreground, that is untouched. so that russian explanation that russian version but somehow there was destination at the fact that spread here just doesn't stack up to look find me here. there's basically devastation in the shopping center. then there are green trees. further over there that were not touched. the fire did not spread from that side. this wasn't by that hit this shopping center to behind me that you see where the roof of basically taken off. that is where the missile hit. and then slightly further to my other side, you can see the bits where the fire engulfed, the shopping center didn't bring the roof down, but basically turned everything that was that to dust. everything was inside that

store. and 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 rubble 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 are 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 between 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 hold 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 clumps 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 sinks into the citizens, then they had lot to be left alone and the base had been following the wall in the news like everyone else. so the fact that this city like anywhere else, and 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 all gonna sign up to fight. they may be, we're in the territory. i'm not sure if they want to go inside front lines. but seeing that even if they were just trying to go about that day life, their families, their friends, could end up the victims of rush themselves that has really rammed home the impact this war to people living in cities and ukraine. that a thought they had kind of got pasta was in it before i let you go, i want to ask you about another development in this for on a russian at news agency tasks 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? if he looks that way at the beginning, this war, we remember the kremlin flooding, preach and talking about you, russia, having no intention to annex further ukrainian charity. that obviously is just as credible as most of the other caveat they'll, they'll promise that were made in the beginning was will when mercy claimed it was in this to quote di melts. while you great. what that means. i think 1st of all, most is the warning. this is a warning 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, amex these territories hold a referendum that 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 reward to, well, that is now stepping up deliveries of weapons to ukraine, that russia is willing to escalate. at least rhetorically, was definitely a warning whether or not people hearing ukraine, us weighed 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. let's turn our attention now to some other stories making headlines around the worlds a french court is expected to deliver. it's a verdict against the sole surviving accused attacker from the 2015 paris terrorist attack. $130.00 people died in the assault on a concert hall and bars, one of europe's worst islamist terrorist attacks. 19 other men are also on trial for healthy to prepare the attack. tensions are high in india's northern rochester, on state a day after 2 after police arrested to muslim men accused of murdering a hindu taylor and posting a video of it on line. the killing comes after months of rising tensions between hindus and muslims raising fears of more violence. authorities in the

the crowd at the steering wheel. mister engel grabbed his arm, said sir, is to take your hand off the steering wheel. we're going back to the west way. we're not going to the capital. mister trump unused his free hand to lunch towards bobby angle, and mister, when mister or not, i had recounted a story to me. he motioned towards his clavicles, use 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, the day american democracy came close to collapse. let's go to northern mozambique now and a spate of jihad us related violence that has displaced some 20000 people. just this month. islamists have been attacking villages in parts of the cobbled delgado

gorilla style warfare on communities that were previously considered. safe vaccinate places daddy elf. and while the 8 organization's fear that the con elect could spread, and we were surprised that the conflict move to the south, that week least more bullish in our moving to the from places here is one of the more complex, i think. yes, the capacity of the systems, one of e woozy but i thing is we will, we will face some, some of the largest secondary school in when to quit. she's already at full capacity since the beginning of the crisis, the number of students here has doubled to 7000 is new management has had to turn away newly arriving dismiss students, aluminum with god. you know, some of it. i want to come up with this and it's difficult that some classes have 100 students, some up to 140. that doesn't make it easy for the teachers, as you can see. so stuff,
