and we will defend every edge of nato territory. every edge of nato territory for our part, united states is doing exactly what i said. who do it prudent invaded and hats are forced posture, your ne, to agreed on a new strategy, ending any pretence of partnership with russia. then that's like the history. in fact, nato is a defense of alliance. it does not attack other countries and has no intention of doing so. for this, it is not a threat to any one in its own neighbourhood, i know, but in fact, it is pooty and who has made imperialism the goal and the object of his policy. 2 years on a political mcdonald from gauge trans unapologetic while some members have announced new deliveries of weapons to ukraine and additional military funding of more than 2000000000 euros chief says it's simply not enough to catch co brothers who represented ukraine here in person in madrid. one that ukraine's fight is a fight for europe. wake up, guys. this is happening now. you're going to be next. you,

this is going to be knocking on you door. just in the blink of an eye, nato is also sent to grow with the turkish veto against finland and sweden joining having been ironed out, vladimir putin, his warning heel can sit ascending, ballistic, and even nuclear weapons, to russia's border with finland. once it joins nato's ranks, treachery nation on yes, for if everything was going fine between us actual. but now there will be tensions there certainly will. gina. this is obvious and inevitable. i repeated that though, if there is a threat to us in the center use of the most though us animal world, nato also drop plans against what it sees as coercive tactics by china. the leaders will meet again next summer in the lithuanian capital vilnius. our correspondent terry schultz has been reporting for us from the dread and asked whether the summit has produced anything to help and the war in ukraine. hi, claire. 2 the alliance did present a new package of assistance to ukraine,
8:04 pm
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 song as a vestige of the cold war. you even had french president among micron calling it
8:05 pm
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, tallied up 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've 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 finland and sweden expected to join the alliance over the next year. as picking up that i want to ask you about something that happened at a news conference today. and that is that a turkish president,
8:06 pm
wretched tie of air to one has said that he could still block the accession 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 decisions made by their
8:07 pm
judiciary, for example. and heir to one said further that if sweden did not keep this promise, that he wouldn't send 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 russia says it has withdrawn its forces from ukraine's snake island in the black sea. moscow calls it a good will gesture that shows it is not walking ukrainian grain exports. snake island became a symbol of resistance at the start of the war when ukrainian soldiers rejected
8:08 pm
a russian warships demand to surrender. and i earlier asked you to leave nick connelly in keep what the russian withdrawal from snake island is going to mean for ukraine's grain exports. unfortunately, i think it means pretty little right now. you still have the major issue of the minds, 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, me, 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 lexi coastline, a desa region, the mac alive region for that. this small island near the delta january, 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 russians just had to go,
8:09 pm
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 here when they withdrew from the around key of earlier on the war . 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. they're not currently reporting their to sedan now, where at least 5 people have been killed during pro democracy. protests 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 a 100 protesters have died. a journalist mohammed, i mean, says the authorities in cartoon have again taken action against the demonstrators. the lease and security organs have actually, it was very tough. a security measures. as since yesterday, the, the rose,
8:10 pm
the bridges that being the room together at the top of the internet and communication among the people. and the started use a massive violence again, is that with us on the ground on his needs. so they are 5, but this is, and that is of this is actually the injured that from journalist mohammed a mean. and now we can go to some other stories making headlines around the world's israeli. wo makers have voted to dissolve parliament. the move triggers the 5th election in less than 4 years. foreign minister jojo loppy becomes the interim prime minister, taking over from natalie bennett, who says he will not run for reelection in november. chinese president, she jan ping is in hong kong for celebrations, marking the 25th anniversary of the former british colonies. handover it is. she's
8:11 pm
1st trip outside mainland china. since the start of the pandemic. and officials in tokyo are urging businesses and residents to save power in a record breaking heat wave daytime highs hovering at around 40 degrees celsius. that hot spell follows the earliest end to the rainy season. in decades, temperatures are excited to drop next week. and cat tanya brown, jackson has made a history becoming the 1st black woman sworn in as a u. s. supreme court justice. the 51 year old replaces is stephen briar. who is retiring, just as remain on the bench for life or until they choose to step down. and one of the last decisions of the supreme court this session was that america's environmental protection agency does not have the authority to limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. and that ruling by the majority, conservative court is
8:12 pm
a big blow to the bite and administration's fight against climate change. it means the government will now depend on congress in its battle to curve emissions due to the washington correspondents to me. so misconduct told me the ruling has far reaching implications. claire is going to have a big impact. i mean, this case is a battle over how much authority that this government agency, the environmental protection agency has. and what this ruling does, its severely limits this agency from regulating emissions from power plants, as you said, and with a supreme court. a saying here is that congress does not give a federal agency the right to regulate on big issues like climate change. and that, that power should be with congress. the problem is that climate legislation is in getting anywhere in congress. if you look at what this does for president biden, one of the 1st things he did when entering office was to rejoin the parish climate agreement. his administration has committed to reducing emissions by at least 50 percent this decade. the u. s. still really relies on fossil fuel power plants and those power plants. claire make up about a 4th of us grant greenhouse gas emissions. so the ability to rein in that
8:13 pm
production is very important to precedent biden's climate plants at the same time as you know, we're seeing massive heat weights, droughts, wildfire, slotting, all effects of global warming. and one big way this administration plan to move forward on climate is through executive action through agencies like the so taking away this, this tool is significant. and one quick note on that, claire, this is also ruling with much broader implications of fundamentally calls into question. the federal government's ability to regulate on a number of issues. so this is a big blow to the biden administration. and also, as he said, to us climate efforts to set the power lies with congress, why are we seeing such an uphill battle in congress to enacting legislation to fight climate change? well, that's because congress is just so gridlocked right now. i mean, the ambitious climate agenda that president biden had laid out. this is a sweeping climate bill. it has been stalled over opposition from republicans and from some conservative democrats. like senator joe mentioned of west virginia,
8:14 pm
which is a coal mining state. any effort to move forward has been stuck there, so that's why the presidency has been using this executive action tool. president obama did so during his term as well, with the clean air act, which kicked off this case. and this case is knocking around the court instead. and because action and congress has been hamstring by gridlock there, the e. p. a and federal action executive action rather has become an important tool to get around that. the supreme court has issued a number of 6 to 3 rulings on wedge issues in the past week. but is this issue in particular as divisive as say, gun control, or abortion? yeah, i think these are really, you know, of really key issues, claire and we have to keep in mind that this is a conservative dominated court. the ruling that we saw today has been a long term goal of conservative, not just on climate change, but on raining in the power of the federal government. hampering its ability to legislate and giving states and congress power in various decisions that we've seen
8:15 pm
. a, remember, roby weight has also been a long term goal of conservatives to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion. and the reason we're seeing this rollback is the makeup of the court. president trump was able to appoint those 3 conservative justices during his term. that is fundamentally shifted the balance of the court, and that is why we are seeing this conservative rollback. as many observers here calling it greets who's, who's gone to for us in washington dc. think there's always peer reporting that chinese update at this hour coming up next a detail, your documentary opaque world looks at the battle for supremacy in cyberspace. brent golf, we'll be back with more news headlines at the top of the our thanks for watching.
