a 10 month long drive. earlier i spoke with our correspondent lisa louis. she was at the palladium seats court in paris when the verdict was read, including that life sentence handed down for selah of the slum. i asked her to tell me more about this man, the last living attacker from that attack about salary. islam was indeed the only one of those accused that was in paris. on the 13th of november 2015 and in front of the court, he himself and the others have been depict him a somehow contradictory picture of cellar. after his lamb at the beginning of the trial, he was saying he was saying, you know, calling himself a fighter of so called islamic state the terror organization that has claimed responsibility for the attacks here in paris in 2015. and then during the trial, you seem to try to explain his acts and said, you know,

i really want to apologize and say, sorry to the victims. and yet he did never really condemn the attacks in the end though, the bottom line for the court seems to have been that they consider a solid does lamb a terrorist indeed. and he did get the highest penalty at all in, in france, in french law, life, in jail. and this time in jail cannot be reduced. this is very tough indeed. we know that this terror attack for 2015, it still impacts parts of french society, french politics. what about the victims and their families? what does today's victim, what does it mean for them? well, this trial has been incredibly important for many victims. i have been talking to you now, i've been following this trial over the past 10 months, talking over and over again for those and tending it. and they've been telling me,

you know, we really found other people who had to go through the same things actually of the past at 6 or 7 years or so. and also we understand a bit better at what happened that night. you know what came 1st, who intervened, who helped us, which police forces were deployed, how we got out of there and all that is really a very important part of their he'll ink tray says, although as one lawyer put it at just a few minutes ago and i was talking to him, he said, you know, obviously this trying willoughby very important will have been very important for the victims involved for the survivors, the families. but obviously the healing pray says, is not eva, and this will always stay with them. they will always remember the 13th november of 2015 as a very bad, very horrible day that it will stay in the memory of corresponded police in the week with news of the verdict coming in. connection with that islamist terror

attack in paris. lisa think a major rethink is emerging from the nato summit in madrid for the 1st time. the alliance has declared russia to be its main adversary. they, there has also officially invited finland in sweden to join. the new strategic plan also increases the level of military presence in the baltic states and another. first, nato says that china's goals challenge its security and it's valentine's. it's the dawn of a new era for nato. it's chief. he and stoughton bag and veiled a military alliances, new strategic concept for a rapidly changing world. you are very gracious, we face a radical change or to our security environments. answer teaching competition is rising around the world. so today's leaders have endorsed naples, new strategic concept. it makes clear about russia's ursa pulses,

the most significant and dyadic threat to our security. in the current concept, we states that the russia, as strategic partner sped on by the invasion of ukraine, nato has agreed to welcome sweden and finland into the fold. after overcoming techies objections, russia has called denise de stabilizing, but the new strategy also identifies china, and it's increasingly aggressive behavior as a challenge. it was another departure from the previous. now, 12 year old strategy, where the emerging superpower didn't even get a mention. so i know it's so substantially building up its military forces including nuclear weapons, bullying its neighbors, and threatening python investing heavily in critical infrastructure including

in allied countries. monitoring, i'm controlling it some own citizens through advanced technology and spreading russian lawyers and this information showing us not our adversary. but we must be clear ard about the serious challenges it represents. well, nate, a looks more unified than ever. the risks in the world order at faces seem to be getting wider. ukraine's president zalinski to day urged the united nations to expel russia as a member and to label it a terrorist state. he addressed the un security council just 2 days after a russian missile attack on a crowded shopping ball in central ukraine. 18 people were killed, dozens mort, remain missing. russia has denied to targeting the shopping mall according to ukraine. this was the moment to russian missile hit, sparking

a fire that left the shopping mall and cram and chuck in ruins. and dozens of people dead and missing. with rescue work is still picking through the rubble in the city. far from the front lines, residents are in shock. oops, of speech, everything 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 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 good enough. but russia's defense ministry claims. it didn't target them all saying it struck this nearby 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 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 it's 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. over more on that video that ukraine says shows a russian missile hitting the shopping ball. we spoke with our correspondent nick

connelly, he's on the ground in the city of crimean. chuck. we been trying to work out how far this old stacks up, how to 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 way behind the impact site full. that missiles strike and we compared the location we compared what we saw on that video that was published by volumes lensky grants present. and we got, 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 that somehow there was destination at a factor to spread here just doesn't stack up to look find me here that basically devastation in the shopping center. but then there are green trees further over that that would not touch. the fire did not spread from that side. this wasn't by that hit this shopping center. the behind me they see where the roof of basically taken off. that is where the missile hit. and then suddenly bothered by the side, you can see the bits where the fi 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 firefights having to wet protective equipment, but it's just very dangerous looking. it, they've been working nonstop for basically 48 hours and, and now basically largely occupied with trying to find the bodies of about $35.00 people that are still believed to be under those that rebel. there was the currently reporting from the ukraine. ukrainian russia have carried out their biggest prisoner swaps since the war began. in february, a 144 ukrainian soldiers were freed, including 95 from the as off regiment that defended mario poles, steel, plant, the head of the self proclaimed. don't ask people's republic, which is backed by russia, says that it has secured the release of the same number, including soldiers from the russian army. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world. the singer r kelly has been sentenced. 30 years in prison, the r and b star was convicted of racketeering. in september of last year, jersey found him guilty of running a criminal ring that recruited groomed and traffic women and teenage girls for sex
