no additional via a young people clearly have the solution. good future. most of the 77 percent every weekend on d w ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. nato members wrap up their summit with pledges for a significant increase in combat forces. german chancellor, olaf shoals, as nato, as a defensive alliance with no intention of committing acts of aggression. also

coming up on the show, russia concedes some occupied territory to ukraine. did hands back snake island in the black sea. after months of heavy fighting with ah, i'm clear, richardson welcome to the shops. nato leaders have ended a 3 days summit with a pledge to continue supporting ukraine. the last day of the madrid meeting also focused on the global food crisis. nato leaders blamed russia for rising food and energy prices, and reiterated their mutual defense commitments. war german chancellor, olaf sholtes, said nato is more important than ever for global security. he stressed the alliance is defensive and dismissed. the russian president vladimir putin suggestion that it could threaten other countries. does this elisha visit scene is literally this is

honestly pretty ridiculous difference, even in fact middle is a defensive alliance and then it does not attack other countries and has no intention of doing so on diagnose it is not a threat to anyone within its own neighborhood. if in fact, it is protein who has made imperialism, the goal of his policies on the object of his products must have some gigs done on a politic. and i asked our correspondent, terry schultz, whether the summit came up with anything to help and the war in ukraine. hi, claire. 2 of the alliance did present a new package of assistance to ukraine, many more weapons upgrading ukraine's capabilities to what they call nato grade weapons from the old soviet era equipment that they had been given at 1st. very definitely trying to keep ukraine in the fight for the long haul, particularly u. s. president biden was adamant that ukraine cannot win this war, that russia cannot be allowed to win this war. and that is, of course, because nobody knows where russian president vladimir putin would set his sights

next. and every one fears that would be on the nato countries along the eastern flank of the alliance. so that they are melting together, both wanting to help ukraine and be worried about their self interest. and that is why all of the leaders here still say ukraine can and must win the war. and we're going to do everything we can to help it help ukraine do that, no matter how long it takes. and before rushes invasion of ukraine, i mean nato was criticized by some as a vestige of the cold war. you even had french president emanuel micron calling it brain dead. is it fair to say that we have now seen a reeve revitalization of the alliance? you've certainly seen an expansion of the alliance in terms of what resources they are putting at nato's hands, that you've seeing of the rapid response force moving with the decisions approved at this summit from a standing force of 40000 soldiers ready to move to any emergency location to more

than 300000 all 30 allies have a tally. a what they be willing to give nato in case of a, of a crisis on, on nato territory. and those are just hundreds of thousands of troops that weren't there before. so yes, you definitely seen an increase in what nato's capabilities are, and you're going to see an expansion in the size of the alliance with been limb and sweden expected to join the alliance over the next year. and speaking of that, i want to ask you about something that happened at a news conference today. and that is that the target president, wretch of type air to one has said that he could still block the session of sweden and finland if the nordic pair don't keep their promises. what exactly did he mean by that? yes, this is a cliffhanger. one of the last press conferences here at the summit, many people were already packing up to go home. but it is important that we point out that president air to one was talking about what he called their promises. and that is that a, in a, in a memo, signed by the 3 leaders 2 days ago,

finland and sweden vowed to continue fighting terrorism to continue a lack of support for organizations that turkey considers terrorist organizations like the p k k which is also considered a terrorist entity by the european union, but what, what air to one did just the late this afternoon was that he came out in a press conference and said that sweden had agreed to extradite 73 terrorists in his view. now this is certainly not something that we've heard from the swedish government. they said that they hadn't made any changes to the decisions made by their judiciary, for example. and heir to one said further that if sweden did not keep this promise, that he wouldn't sand the ratification, he would, he wouldn't send the membership ratification to his parliament, which is required for sweden to join the alliance. so we don't know exactly what's going to happen with this. i talked to nato officials after this, who said, we're just going to presume that turkey keeps it's word along with finland and sweden and that on tuesday the 3 will be signing an agreement,

which formally starts finland and sweden's membership process in, in nato. will. of course be keeping an eye on that and keeping you updated at dw terry shoals for us in madrid. thanks is always fair reporting. and meanwhile, russia says it has withdrawn its forces from ukraine's snake island in the black sea. moscow called it a good will gesture that shows it's not walking ukrainian grain exports. st island became a symbol of resistance at the start of the war when ukrainian soldiers there rejected a russian warships to man to surrender. and i asked of these nick connolly and keith, what the russian withdrawl from snake island means for ukraine's grain exports. unfortunately, i think it means pretty little right now. you still have the major issue of the mines, russian and ukrainian c mines in those waters near odessa. i think it's very unlikely that any foreign trading ships, any grain transporting ships that are privately owned, agree,

willing to go to those ports if situation stays, as it is still lots of russian military ships in that part of the black sea. lots of the fighting going on. so i think for now it doesn't really make much difference what it does make a difference to is russia's ambitions to capture more of ukraine's black, the coastline, a desa region, the mac alive region for that this small island near the delta, daniel was an important military staging point and ukraine has been focusing a whole lot of firepower increase, including some brand new as we understand american rocket launchers on attacking targets there. and it seems that russian just had to go to they were being hit time and time again. so this russian talk, this being a gesture of goodwill, i think, is pretty much meaningless. they said similar things when they were doing very badly around care of when they withdrew from the air and key of earlier on the war . and so i think this is just of kind of fig leaf, an attempt to cover the fact that they were really feeling the heat from ukrainian military pressure. there are moscow is still gaining ground and eastern ukraine and fears are growing that lucy chance light soon become the 2nd major city to fall to

that the is nick connelly who you just heard from. there has also filed this report looking at whether ukraine's western backers are doing enough to turn the tables on the battlefield. ah, these american built rocket launchers, a key of new pride and joy, finally delivered after months of increasingly desperate requests and able to hit targets, 80 kilometers away with greater accuracy than any artillery ukraine or russia for that matter currently have in their arsenals. that means ukraine can now hit russian positions that fear of return. fire is only one problem. ukraine has 4 of them. for mostly though, this war is still being fought with tactics that haven't changed significantly since world war. much of the equipment is more than 50 years old, except the russia has a lot more of it. and ukraine is starting to run out of ammunition. ukraine says the russians have 10. how it's, as for each of there's western intelligence sauces, put the number somewhat lower, but agree key of is hopelessly outgunned or that these ukraine,

unable to hope to do much more. the slow down the russian advance results. though a clear, this is what russian forces have done to civil the nets in its surroundings. ukraine estimates they were firing up to $50000.00 ground a day. this region used to be home to hundreds of thousands of people thought clear how many may remain, or what they might have stayed for. ukrainian armies now left and present, zalinski sprouts, the city quote dead. this is what happens when just one shell comes down near an apartment block without even a direct hit. 3 months ago, the russian army was just 10 kilometers away from the street. and keith, no matter how well soviet era shall dreamed this simply not accurate enough. putting civilians at risk, what they have, literally the sure the russians have much more artillery than we do. so it's as simple as that officer. obviously our army is facing losses. that even, but it's our cities that are really bearing the brunt additional green. they're being wiped out by russian artillery. so if the west wants to help us, well,

they should send us enough for us to gain the upper hand. or what if we just receive drips and drabs, the russian will be able to destroy the shipments. it won't be worth doing the boys you of the month of delays and political wrangling, these german built houses have finally made it to the front lines. all 7 of them. if that sounds insignificant, it's actually almost a 5th to what germany has available and ready to use. but it's a drop in the ocean when trying to fight back the russian invasion of a 2000 kilometers front lines. see that western om supplies are only just enough to stop ukraine's army some collapsing enough to allow and haughtily ukrainian retreat rather than stopping the russian advance. let alone a major counter attack. oh, i was going to sleep now with some other world news stories making headlines. at least 5 people have been killed during pro democracy protests in sudan groups opposing military rule have been holding mass rallies since a military coup. last october,

the army cracked down on the demonstrations has become increasingly violent. more than 100 protesters have died. israeli lawmakers have voted to dissolve parliament. the move triggers the 5th election in less than 4 years. foreign minister yeah, your lap, it becomes the interim. prime minister, taking over from naphtali bennett, who says he will not run for reelection in november. and officials in tokyo are urging businesses and residents to save power in a record of raking heat wave. daytime highs are hovering at around 40 degrees celsius. the hot fell follows the earliest end to the rainy season in decades, and temperatures are expected to drop next week to the united states. now where the supreme court has decided that the us environmental protection agency does not have the authority to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants ruling by the majority. conservative court is

yet the contentious work in question is no longer there. for 2 days a sprawling banner hung in the middle of custer. among its many images were 2 figures criticized as clearly anti semitic. a ma said soldier with the head of a pig and a man with side locks, often associated with orthodox jews, fangs, and an s as 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 puppy 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. ah, bug, and man as we're cinnamon,

how does it feel for artists working collectively to have their work removed? obama, the last id there was no announcement marcy, no dialogue, no discussion about what we wanted to express with this artwork or government. well, friday, april 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 money with the off the perspective of the and then you have to accept value and listen to the prospective of others. thanks union. when this won't work, if people from indonesia come and say, this is how it is like it or leave it is villa. but it also won't work if you just point the finger at them and say, do this or you're out, 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 curatorial 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, but also great responsibility. i think also found fraud. nobody really took on this responsibility at the document or, and at present they're releasing no statements. but perhaps now the controversy also offers the chance for a genuine dialogue. and she is update at this hour coming up next. is it t w's? you just don't go away. if you want more news and analysis, you can, of course, also find that on our website, d, w dot com or on twitter and instagram at dw news. i'm clarity in, in a berlin from the team exhaust, providing us with several did in white wing st.
