that they consider a solid does lamb a terrorist indeed. and he did get the highest pendency at all in france, in french law, life in jail. and this time in jail cannot be reduced. this is very tough indeed. that was database. lisa lewis there, and paris. well, the nato summit is taking place in madrid. this is the 2nd day of that to day summit. were expecting it to wrap up shortly. we expect to hear statement, sir, from nato secretary, general young stoughton back also, the german chancellor. all sholtes. huh. and perhaps also u. s. president joe biden, we're going to try to carry those news conferences for you live. let's cross straight over to our correspondent in madrid, who's covering that summit for us. alexander, fun. nomine, alexandra, you've been following those talks. now for the past 2 days, we were supposed to have seen the nato secretary general about 15 minutes ago the

news conference was scheduled for then. do we know what's delayed him and what can we expect him to say today? well normally of course you would be right saying that nato is always on time with the secretary general, always being on time for his press conference. his however, we are talking here about some, it's a meeting a we're all the natal leaders, have a chance to talk and to be together. so it's not very surprising that we have a slight delay. now there are different bilateral meeting still going on at the last a session was about food insecurity. a very important topic. so may be, dad is a reason for the late press conference, but we are expecting it to begin soon because of course this will be just one of many, many conferences that will be held here in madrid by nato leaders that

we heard yesterday already are some major announcements coming out of nato with its new strategic concept. it's overhauled this key policy document for the 1st time in 12 years. nater saying is the most that russia is the most serious security threat right now to be alliance. also naming china saying that to china proposes a systemic challenge for the alliance. and now china has responded to that, alexandra saying that the accusing the alliance of maliciously attacking and smearing the country. and it said, it says quote that nato claims other countries pose challenges, but it is nato that is creating problems around the world. is nato taking this on board? because there has been some criticism of nato, not just from china, but from other countries as well. yes, but according to nato,

it is important for these alliance, which is at a fans alliance to be ready to address the current threats and challenges. and that is why, from their perspective, that is important to update their strategic concept. the last one was approved in 2010. and since then of course, we understand that the whole security assessment and the security situation they euro atlantic area has massively change with the war on ukraine. of course, that's now has to be taken into account and the consequences of russia's aggression and of course, and this cities you concept the alliance is also stating, even though there are using different wording on russia and on china. as you just mentioned, there are stating that both countries are trying to undercut the rules based international order. and of course, they need to be prepared to address those is shoes.

julia nato is going to massively boost it's presence in europe, particularly it's rapid. rapid reaction forces are gonna increase those numbers from 40002300000, keeping the, the forces in the home countries, but having them ready to be deployed to europe at a moment's notice that they need to be this strengthening of nato's posture. visa v . russia. how is, how are germans responding to this? because it's been a big watershed moment for germany in terms of it's pastor towards russia and indeed is support for ukraine. how much support is there for transfer? sholtes has policies and nato's policies in, in dealing with russia in the ukraine war. oh, we have seen an increase in supports for not only military support for ukraine directly, but also in upping budgets and interest actually in defense and in germany's military. so we do see that that germany's population is going along with the

policies that a german chancellor all of shows is putting forward. the chancellor has always tried to maintain a balance between upping germany's military investment and also pushing forward a, a bigger military development in germany. and nato as well, but also trying not to provoke russia. this has been a topic that has been quite strongly debated here in germany. and which was also criticized sometimes because that meant that germany was sometimes slow in committing to weapons deliveries, ukraine, especially in terms of heavy weapons. but the chancellor has been trying to walk this, this fine line of committing more military power, but also not provoking russia because of the, the last thing that germany and nato want is for russia to actually go after a nato member. that would mean that the entirety of nato would have to intervene in its defense. a just reminder to our viewers. we're wait for press commerce to begin

with the nato secretary general, you installed in burg. we were just looking at some live pictures from the summit venue where you could see the podium, the stage as they wait for that way. for that get underway with me and studious julia sel. deli are political, corresponded julia, transfer shelters. government consists of 3 parties. these parties are not always on the same page when it comes to policy. there were looking very united, going in to the new government, went after the election in september, but then came the russia's invasion of ukraine on february 24th. this has been a difficult period for the shuttle shelters, new government to say the least, how much unity is there within the coalition on ukraine policy and defense policy engine over always seen the government working together and, and sharing the general prospects of, of what germany should do, and should continue to do. we've seen some slight differences and those differences were present already before these parties came together and formed this government

. the green party, who now has the foreign minister and the economy minister, were already a stronger, let's say, than, than, than shots. and his social democrats, in terms of criticizing russia and criticizing china, and alerting people to, to the danger that these 2 countries pose. and they wanted the government to be stronger and taking a stronger stance against these 2 countries. also in terms, for example, of energy independence, the greens were against of the north stream to pipeline that was meant to bring more russian gas to germany already before the war happened. and then of the social democratic chance, all of shells had to go along with this once the war started. but overall we've seen quite some unity and everyone is now aware that the stance of germany towards russia and towards nato has had the change of sandra yesterday. we

heard major announcements concerning nato's military ah, development to strategic concept. but today i understand that the delegates there in madrid are addressing the question of food security. not just within the nato alliance, but around the world. what can nato do to assure food security on a global scale? well, that's an very important question into. the key question is really whether need to can do anything at all as a lions or whether it might be up to individual net nato allies to, to help, to solve and help solve this problem. and of course, we know that the nato is saying it is russia to be blamed for this current food insecurity. russia is blocking the ukrainian ports and russia as also using a food as weapon. saying that it is only happening because of the western world

imposed sanctions. against the country with the western world think no, we didn't impose any sanctions on food. but when it comes to practical solutions or proposals that are on the table, like for instance, a using western forces to de mine, the waters in the black sea or using western war ships to make sure that the transport of grain out of ukraine could be possible that is, of course, very at that very difficult task because it's clear that says nato allies, they don't want to get involved. and the war there is. so i don't think that we really can expect any concrete proposals, how to solve the food a crisis or that the food insecurity. a rather l, i expect

a nato secretary general to speak about. so the discussions that are still under way, and of course they are trying to get everyone on board. the united nations are already on boards trying to find a solution to the problem that you mentioned, alexandra, that the nato member states are there 30 of them at this point or before sweden and finland joined. they have been invited that they do not want to become of become party to this war to get involved directly in a confrontation with russia. but when finland does join this will give a 1300 kilometer border between a nato member state and russia directly. or russia, of course is, is concerned about that as well. um, 1st of all, when can we expect to see finland and sweden, formerly join nato, and what is nato doing to are what are it's what are its plans along that eastern

flank along that new border in finland? well i think that we can expect that to sweden and finland, sir membership that they will be approved as new members quite quickly. normally it could take a year or longer, but sincere all that there are a team members now invited sweden and finland to join the alliance. and to with the protocols that are needed to be signed already drafted. we can expect it to happen pretty fast. however, we have to say that after those fertile calls are being fine, we, then i have to have all 30 members of nato ratify those protocols . and there are different procedures in different countries. for instance, in germany, their parliament has to approve those articles. bad,

sir. it's once be difficult to integrate finland and sweden into the alliance because both countries are already very close partners. they have been participating in nato missions. they have been training with nato forces and of course for them to join nato. it's also a win win situation for the alliance because their armies are very well equipped to well trained. and actually we have to stress that both countries are capable of defending their borders, but of course, for them they feel safe and better protected against any russian aggression or when they join nato. and then we will see how and if at all, nato forces will be deployed to finland and at the russian border. because of course, dead to will be watched very closely with by the kremlin that has already announced

that they are going to build up their presence at the border there. alexander, thank you for now. that was our correspondence, our brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena there attending the nato summit in madrid as we wait for the nato secretary general young stoughton back to begin his news conference. we'll be carrying that live still with me in the studio. julia soft, sol daily. our political course on it here as well. well, let's, as we wait for that news conference to get underway, let's catch up on some other news here in germany. the largest contemporary art show is underway in the city of castle. the documentary hosts a huge number of arc works by artists from around the world, but one large mural has been removed after it was found to have anti semitic images . it's sparked a discussion about how the art show handles controversy. it was

a full house for the 1st real debate about the anti semitism scandal. a document of 15. there were experts on stage and in the audience, a member of the indonesian territorial collective ruin. grouper who greeted the crowd in conciliatory tones. this is sir, very good location too little, also that we are here ah, and her to learn to listen. yet the contentious work in question is no longer there. for 2 days, a sprawling banner hung in the middle of casa, among its many images were 2 figures criticized as clearly anti semitic. a more sad soldier with the head of a pig and a man with side locks, often associated with orthodox jews, fangs, and an ss insignia on his hat. it's the work of the indonesian art group toddling party, which enjoys cult status in its home country in castle. the rest of their work is currently staged at a former indoor swimming pool,

cardboard figures with strong political messages, large format banners and a tank made of pappy mushy on which visitors can write their own messages. the artists of tiling paddy were shocked by the intensity of the protests. they felt that they were left completely on their own by the document management bug and mine, as well as any man. how does it feel for artists working collectively to have their work removed? obama, the last that the there was no announcement my see no dialogue, no discussion about what we wanted to express with this artwork or it's happened. adams were heartier marin mendel, a german israeli historian, an educator, organized the panel to facilitate that dialogue. he criticizes the fact that no one is taking responsibility man with the off the perspective of the and then you have to accept value. that's and listen to the perspective of others since to noon. when this won't work, if people from indonesia come and say,

this is how it is like it or leave it is with that. but it also won't work if you just point the finger at them and say, do this or you're out, things are mocked or the, the idea of it in the muddle debate. hortensia focused responses. many cultural projects, fears that there will now be calls for more territorial control, darby solutions. why i have serious doubts about this, any kind of a fuel. and i'm a supporter of a culture in germany that gives the institutions autonomy, i know, but also great responsibility. i think also found fraud don't. nobody really took on this responsibility at the documentary and at present they're releasing no statements. but perhaps now the controversy also offers the chance for a genuine dialogue sketch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. chinese present children thing has arrived in hong kong to celebrations, marking the 25th anniversary of the former british colonies, and over to china. it's, she's 1st trip outside mainland china since the started the pandemic. security is

tight. a boat to keep cobit 19 ah, in check, and others. any signs of political dissent as well. visuals in tokyo have urged businesses and residents to say power. as japan's record bake raking heat wave continues for the 6th day. stay, time highs are hovering around 40 degrees celsius. the hot spell follows the earliest end to the capitals rainy season. in decades, temperatures are not forecast to draw until next week. is really law makers have voted to dissolve parliament. the move triggers the 5th national election in less than 4 years and makes foreign minister yeah, had lobbied, interim prime minister, he's taking over from cali bennett who says he will not run for reelection in the boat set for november 1st for the 1st time in germany. a black politician has become member of a state government. i mean, not to, to re, a 29 year old member of the green party was named minister for social affairs. and

the state of flesh we close to right is the daughter of, to molly in refugee. russia says it has withdrawn its forces from ukraine's strategic snake island and the black sea rushes depends ministry called it a quote good will gesture that showed it was, was not blocking ukrainian grain exports, ukrainian officials said the withdrawal followed its missile. and artillery strikes on russia's garrison. snake island became a symbol of ukrainian resistance at the start of the war when ukrainian soldiers rebuffed to russian warships demand to surrender. and the audio recording went viral. d. w corresponding to manuel shaws is covering developments for us from the ukrainian city of odessa earlier asked her what we should make of rushes claim to be pulling out of snake island as quote, an act of good will. oh, sorry,

i see very interesting to see that framing of what happened from the russian perspective. they said they had, they wanted to show the goodwill that rush hour wanted to show that they had no interest in blocking. for example, un monitoring the black d r. so that's what you find out. i don't rush on, pardon me, perspective on the ukraine and side afford to be the symbolic. we take up the snake island. you said, you stated earlier, these had been one of the 1st victories for russia on the, on the war. these islands were 13 ukrainian border guards had told russia, well, where to go next to russian. she'd watch. it's harder to the island, including to moscow than martha washing, which has seen her. it's been, you know, since i've been there at the bottom of the black sea, with no news from the russian sold it for one by so very significant. also her huge

morale, food for ukraine in tooth and ukraine. nancy. sounds like you really under a taylor's there with the rain falling. emma hope you can hear me. what can you tell us about the prisoner's swap between ukraine and russia that happened yesterday? well again, have very significant moments in that war. there have been those changes in the past, but usually it was about 121520 sold years from both sides. this time we talking about a $144.00 soldiers on both sides, and it includes on the ukraine inside the return of $95.00 soldiers who fought in the other south field land, including $43.00. so the battalion a regiment which there was a permanent to a group which joined ukraine, an army, a few years. and the russian rhetoric is that this group is

a far right group. and they had always said before that those soldiers would be tried on right on, very to reason that's really significant. also be consuming the ukraine don't. so these are considered our hero brains are doing left, but the front lines with his childhood teddy bears trapped to his military kid for he came to ukraine from morocco to study error, spatial sciences. but last november swapped his student visa for a military one and joined the army. merge to the surprise of his friend who i was against that. and one of the main arguments he gave me was the fact that he's kind of feeling useless. so he wants to do something useful and find himself, but he didn't serve long. he 40 more you pull and surrender to rush and forces along with over a 1000 fellow service men, mid april, but

a separatist. i authorities didn't treat him like a ukrainian prisoner form. that argued, he was a foreign mercenary and put him on trial. along with 2 britons valued out the 1st 4 in fighters to be tried since the beginning of the war. at the beginning of june, all 3 was sentenced to death, ukrainian authorities and, and yours. those who checked is read it as, as a parrot is caught in, dumbass is not recognized by keith or by the international community. it's a propaganda ah, shoal. and so in this case, 1st the full d r ah, issue on the institution. so called court, ah, that pro provide the this where do the death sentence is sir, not so applicable and available on ukrainian territory. we are an ukrainian territory. so we consider it like the action of terrorist organization and it's

pure terrorist act that should be condemned and or a severally punished the on international and national level. we are dealing with the big diaries group supported by terry's state, federal hands family to trial and death sentence came as a shock, and they say they haven't received any help from the american authorities. so far. the moment when i've seen the video of his structure today, i tried to contact the american embassy and where i am right now and they literally were like, what do you expect us to do? i tried to reach many other authorities and saddle it origin was silent. i feel like there's like scared to talk about maybe like little into trying to keep it down like he doesn't exist at all. just like his family brains, friends feel very alone in trying to help him out of the situation. they have lost a social media campaign and can vast all around the city really so that these are

very effective and we put a cure record on them because he 1st started texting. ross owned social media campaign that we started say for him like we so those costs are on the city and what can we do to help brains, friend and family, but what hope they have in the support they get from the public was a separate, is remaining charging dumbass, that's about the only thing they can do. well, the european court of human rights fees the case for he inside, along with all the to written say he was sentenced to death. we've been the european court sanitizer taken measures to inform russia that it shouldn't carry out the sentence that ensued to treat the prisoners of cardi. according to the conventions, protecting the rights of russian missiles continued to pound ukrainian cities around the country. is it clear what russia is trying to achieve

with these strikes, how they fit into moscow's declared aim of taking control of the don bass region one. i think that 2 sides of the object is that 1st one, we see indiscriminate shelly on a civilian targets for example, the supermarket in financial, gar, monday, or in key on sunday morning on a residential building. i think, you know, there's something to the fact that maybe they want to intimidate the population, not just to go to the murano. people give any bells or you know, it does work. people are, you know, they are resilient, fell down quite shocked by those attacks on civilians. but there's also the aim to their control done, bath, and that's why we see heavy fighting on these are blind, especially of only the chance to rush into south tried several times now to for me to read the city that feels over hasn't even been there, but they're leaving very dire situation with no water, no electricity,

no constance or selling. so the fighting very much continues on on the eastern side, which is still an objective for russia. i'm a thank you very much. that was our correspond. manuel shaw, they're on very rainy day. in the city of desson returning to remain story this, our native leaders are holding the final day of talks at their summit in madrid. they're addressing rising food prices, an insecurity caused by russia's war on ukraine. they to leaders say russia's blockade of grain exports is sparking instability around the world, especially in the middle east and north africa. earlier at the summit alliance members announced a new strategic plan, naming russia as its biggest threat. sweden and finland have been formally invited to join and the u. s. is promised to bolster its forces stationed in your native

nato secretary general. jen stoughton back is expected to address the conference in just a moment. we'll be getting to that uh shortly we hope, but 1st we have some other news for you. ah, it's a remarkable return of a disgraced political dynasty fair. an unmarked host junior has been foreign in sworn in as president of the philippines more than 3 decades after his father was ousted is dictator. marcus junior, also known as bung bone, took the oath of office after winning elections by a landslide. he was joined on stage at his inauguration by his mother imelda. marcos junior praised his father who ruled by martial law for nearly a decade. as a leader who got things done, he has pledged to unite the country, create more jobs and tame now inflation and give a big you pick me to be your servant. to enable changes to benefit all.

i fully understand the gravity of the responsibility that you would on my shoulders . i do not take it lightly, but i am ready for the dust. and d. w. of course, one at guild mottos attended the inauguration of fed on marcus junior in manila where thousands of people came out to show their support for the new president. it's the very moment that thousands of supporters of ferdinand marcus junior here at the national museum in the heart of manila f. been waiting for 36 years after being ousted from the philippines. the marcos tennessee is back in the seat of power. pardon, on marcus junior, now faces an uphill battle to keep his election promises, like cutting the price of rice in half as inflation in the country is rising sharply. you will also have to balance relations between 2 superpowers, the united states, on the one hand and china that has sent its vice president to the inauguration

ceremony. here in manila, on the other hand, the most difficult task of all however, will be uniting a nation that is deeply split over its past. the opponents are flooded on macos junior, but in particular, the victims of the martial law period under his father are deeply concerned that the son could bring back the dark days of the dictatorship period. that fred, an macos junior himself refers to provide as the golden era of the philippines. and if you talk to supporters of marcos here at the national museum, that is exactly what they hope that marcos will bring back to the philippines law is invalid. again, again, monica, everything. yes. like he's not even even better now, mary brown again because he's a good leader in honor of his dad. he's going to continue the legacy of the thank
