ah, ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin to night. promise is wrong, g sub un and nato leaders to support ukraine as long as it takes in madrid. the natives of it ended today with the alliance moving forward to expand in size and the number of troops stationed in eastern europe. also coming up tonight,

russia abandoned the strategic island that it took from ukraine at the start of the war, handing back snake island in the black sea. after months of heavy fighting. and in sudan deadly street, protests, people are refusing to stop demonstrating against the military leaders of the country. leaders who took over 8 months ago. ah, i break off is good to have you with this. and we begin this thursday with the changes at nato and a changing security reality. today, native leaders wrapped up their annual summit by taking a tougher line on russia, made a presented a new strategic plan, which includes more unity than we've seen in recent years. and it is pledging further humanitarian and military support for ukraine, for as long as it takes. we also learned today that it is official,

nato is expanding by inviting finland and sweden to join the alliance. pomp and pageantry in madrid. the does of the 30 nato member states have tightened ranks against russia and the attack on one is attack out all and we will defend every edge of nato territory, every edge of nato territory. for our part, the united states is doing exactly what i said. we do it prudent, invaded it hats, our forest posture, and your nature agreed on a new strategy, ending any pretence of partnership with russia. then that's actually his state. 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 live in fact, it is pooty and who has made imperialism the goal and the object of his policy. tears are not politic. a mock titled from game shuns,

unapologetic while some members have announced new deliveries of weapons to ukraine and additional military funding of more than 2000000000. yuri's 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. 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, nature, unusual. if everything was going fine between us. but now there will be tensions there certainly. well is it that this is obvious and inevitable. i repeat that though. if there is a threat to us in stereo the most though us animal girls, 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 were turkey's president rich apply. a bear to one says that he could still block sweden and finland from joining nato. w corresponded terry schultz is in madrid. she has more yes, this is a cliff hanger. 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 a decision 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 formerly starts finland and sweden's membership process in nato. there was to results the reporting from madrid. my 1st gifts to 90 as doctor glanced ned colts, an expert on russian foreign policy and the lecturer at university college london. it's good to have you with this. i want to start by talking about what we have been hearing from nato these past few days,

and as well as from the g 7 summit. and that is this, this promise to stand with and to help ukraine for as long as it takes, does it strike you that we're not getting a time line from these leaders about when this war in ukraine could possibly end? so i think we have definitely i, you know, i think is now accepted by all sides that this will, will carry on for months. and there is no end in sight. i think has been accepted by nato by president by then prime minister abra johnson. because i think the in practice we have now war of attrition and on the ground we simply don't know how long it's gonna take and that's why it has a timeline. so we've been hearing this week from the g 7, a nato. you know, this is until the end of this year. so this is actually going into sort of the autumn and winter if we're talking about this is being a matter of months and not necessarily being a matter of years. is that in your opinion,

it is that more realistic is that also more feasible considering that western leaders, they have voters that they have to answer to voters who may not be able to wait for as long as it takes when it comes to supporting ukraine. so i think it was interesting to see that already they've expanded a timelines to let's say the end of the year. and actually in practice, i think they would say that this is ongoing and we simply don't know. so be too soon to think it as of months rather than years or to have that time frame. but the shift is from weeks to months. right? that's been the sort of the change of the documents. but i think and definitely there's increasing concern in ukraine. but also from x that, that, you know, the potential weston decisive focus on ukraine is waving as other issues are coming up to the table. and i think that the summit was crucial in focusing nato's interests and focusing natives. attention on what's going on on the ground in

ukraine by, for example, making russia is like the number one threat to night. question is, do you think that message has arrived where it supposed to be that of course being the kremlin and at the desk of why them improved and do you think you got the message? so i think that message has been heard loud and clear of the last few months and as incense. i think that it's been the change of emphasis for nater. it's been crucial in sort of redrafting sort of their own for the institution itself. i think the russians are well aware and have been talking about this, having to say that nate is focused on rushes. a threat for the last few years in a says actually, domestically from put has point to be it. this is kind of paying it to his hand, because now he can turn to the russian public and say, look, we always told you that nature was us. he said imperialistic, that they will, it's against russia. no one believed us, but now they've actually, you know, written it sort of into the agreements. and so i think, you know,

we have to see how he's also plays out into for different audience. it's yeah, i mean, and it remains to be seen if time is on the russian side, or if it's on the west side, we will see dr. alliance net cove of university college london. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank. thank. thank you. russia says that 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 blocking ukrainian grain exports. snake island became a symbol of resistance at the start of the war when ukrainian soldiers rejected a russian warships demand to surrender. w net connelly, he joins me now from heave skin to see you. nick, what does the withdraw from snake island? what does it mean for ukraine's grain exports or 1st of all, i think, hearing you correctly,

no one really believes that russian claim that they were this was a good will gesture. it simply was feeling the heat from lots of western weapons, anti air, and to ship missiles that were preventing russians resupply snake island. and those rocket launchers high mass from the u. s that were enabling the cranes to hit the island from its own coasts. as for the grain exports on foot, and he does a lot because the main problem are still the mines, which there are lots in the northwestern part of black sea. and basically, as it is no private ship owners gonna sent their ships anywhere near ukrainian ports, even if the ukrainians began taking those mines away. and they don't really do that because they just don't trust russia to not take advantage that situation and send in lots of ships trying take those cities on ukraine's go. so it basically means russia has fewer chances of trying to take even more of ukraine surgery on the black sea. but as for people struggling with high grain price around the world, they're gonna have to wait unforeseen. and nick, what about the latest in terms of the battle for the don burst? we know that russian missile strikes, kid 10, you do we know what the situation is in the city of this you chance to night

it is dire. people that have for the most part, been without basic services for weeks and hopefully most have now left after plead pleading basically from ukraine. gam figures to get out while they still can. before you know, they're evacuation might cause someone else's life trying to help them to get out. i think there's an expectation here that there's a chance will fall to the russian some point, but that is ukraine strategy right now to make russia pay for every street that it takes to maximize russian losses. and to hope that they can get russia bogged down . they're slow that advance until those western weapons come on. we've seen what a difference those western my weapons have made a snake on. and now we heard from joe biden, madrid that the u. s. has got 50 countries together that they are planning to send potentially $500.00 at tanks and $600.00 other systems and it's the other around. so those are basically just a whole new level of support. i mean, previously we're talking about dozens of tanks at a time, dozens of artillery pieces, but never on such

a scale if that really turns out to be possible, if you can't end up getting that, that could be the quality of difference that would really enable ukraine to go into counter attack until you turn the tables in the east than out the playing for time . and this chest of which is probably going to be the next city that you know, given up to the russians in the hope that you crank and minimize its losses. it abused connelly with the ladies tonight from key as always, nick, thank you. russia has handed death sentences to 3 foreign men who volunteered for the ukrainian defense, fortune of their being held by rushing back, sir per jesse refused them of being mercenaries or reporter emanuel shars, met with their friends and family of one prisoner. you happens to be from morocco. these are people who are rallying support to have him freed drain sadden left for the front lines with his childhood teddy bears trapped to his military kids for he came to ukraine from morocco to study era,

spatial sciences. but last november swapped his student visa for a military one and joined the army match to the surprise of his friends. 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 russian forces along with over a 1000 fellow servicemen meet april, but separately, so he didn't treat him like a ukrainian prisoner for that argued. he was a 4 investigatory and put him on trial. along with to britain. the 1st 4 invited to be tried since the beginning of the war. at the beginning of june, all 3 was sentenced to death. ukrainian authorities and ends. you both rejected others apart. his cotton dumbass is not recognized by keys or body international

community. it's propaganda does show, and in this case, 1st the full, the issue on the institution so called court that pro provide the, this radical the desk sentence is sir, not so applicable and available on ukrainian territory. we are an ukranian territory. so we consider it like the action of terrorist organization and it's pure terrorist act that should be condemned. and her a severally punished on international international level. we are dealing with the big diaries group supported by terry state for drains 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 seen the video of his capture 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 sell it. everything 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, friends, friends, feel very alone in trying to help him out of the situation. they have lost a social media campaign and kind of asked all around the city really so that these are very effective and but if you are recording them because fever started texting gossip, social media campaign that we started say for him like we so those clusters around the city and what can we do to help for his friend and family, but what hope they have in the support they get from the public while the separate is remaining charging dumbass, that's about the only thing they can do. poland has completed

a 200 kilometer wall along its border with bell roofs. it's a project that began last year when thousands of migrants from africa and the middle east attempted to reach the european union by crossing from bella, roost into polk. we have to stop 5 kilometers before the polish border with bella luce, where the restricted zone begins. we conquer further unless we have special permission and a traveling in a polish beauregard vehicle towards the border where poland has almost finished its new wool. a wall against migrants from africa and the middle east, trying to get to poland and onwards into the e. u. monitor mission for them. we have information from foreigners that they were encouraged on the belly mercy inside to try to cross the border illegally and continue on to germany. they were also promised that someone would help them get a job there. but 1st, they would have to cross the polish belly mercy and border illegally to cluttered

guns at moscow of yellow sco 5 and a half meters high and a 187 kilometers long. in may alone, there were more than $700.00 attempts to cross the border. the situation might be less dramatic than it was last fall before the wool was built. when hundreds of people was stranded at the border, but time and again, volunteers find groups in the woods on the polish side ordinance that with them, the main accusation against the polish border guards is that they are conducting a legal push backs and forcing people to illegally cross the border back into bell roofs, knowing that they faced torture and violence there. hello. he goes on in thought of dora salmon, colleena and other activists try to find the migrants before the beauregard stew and held them with asylum applications and provide 1st aid against neither, right? we have found people walking without shoes. their feet are often in a pitiful condition that this can end in amputation to jump with that their

business is slow in the bought a town of cushion eats because no day trippers are allowed into the restricted zone . still most are in favor of strict border protection. yes. oh does i feel safe? i don't see migrants here in cush needa and now with the wall, all the better of items you're putting that was it needs to be built to make it safer to keep migrants from coming here. table of, i think once they're allowed to come in on the puzzle, thousands will fall of hair stuff and it's dave hodges tissue. sammy migration via bella roost to poland and then destination germany. in many cases, the root has found away despite the new will. but here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world in sri lanka, hundreds of protesters have gathered outside columbus main train station there. holy mass rally, holding for the toppling of the government. and economic crisis is hitting living standards. their schools have closed because of fuel shortage. at least 14 people

have been killed by mudslides in northern india. many more are missing weeks of torrential rain. have the stabilized land in india and, and neighboring bangladesh leaving hundreds of people. death fit on g brown. jackson has made history becoming the 1st black woman to be sworn in on the u. s. supreme court. the 51 year old replaces stephen briar. who is retiring. justice is remain on the court for life or until they choose to step down a ruling by the u. s. supreme court today limits the powers of the u. s. environmental protection agency. the court says that the agency does not have the authority to cap greenhouse gas emissions from coal fired power plants. and the ruling by the majority, conservative court is a big blow to president biden's fight to control climate change. it means that the government now depends on

a divided congress in its battle to lower harmful emissions. cheering crowds in the philippines had witnessed the presidential inauguration of a man who was also the son of the country's disgraced former dictator ferdinand markets. ferdinand marco's junior, also known as bong bong marco's, took the oath of office to day 36 years after his father's brutal dictatorship came to an end in what was known as the people power revolution. he bare, denied and rewarded madica's junior, and she voted 36 years after his father was forced into exile. ferdinand marcus junior is taking the philippines top job back. i think a month ago, the 64 year old who's better known as bung when the country's presidential election by a landslide. now he's promising to take the philippines forward and we will build but better by doing things in the light of the experiences that we have had both good

and bad. it doesn't matter. no. looking back in anger or nostalgia in the road ahead, the immediate months will be rough, but i will walk that road with you. marcus supporters are ecstatic. he's going to continue the legacy of the thank bank to fight against i drug thing. the guy is in delegate. again, money. everything. yes. like is that? market senior ruled the philippines from the mid 1960 to the mid eighty's, almost half of it on the marshal law. thousands of people were tortured, nodded or disappeared. this wall of remembrance has the names of more than 300 people who fought against his dictatorship. this man, sister was one of those who disappeared under the former president's reign. it's a nightmare saying the son of the dictator

become the 17th breton of the philippines. it's unimaginable. marcus junior takes over from rodrigo to turret them, another controversial leader known for his bloody war against rocks and his attacks and critical media. his daughter though, was service mark as his vice president, creating a merger of 2 political dynasties. that is a partnership that some fear would further reduce their freedom, making their life in the philippines even harder or correspond, again remarked as he was at the inauguration in manila where thousands came out to support the new president. it's the very moment that thousands of supporters afforded on 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 dynasty is back in the seat of power,

ferdinand 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. it's 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 of ferdinand marcus 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 un, macos junior himself, refers to as the golden era of the philippines. and if you talk to supporters of macos here at the national museum, that is exactly what they hope that marcus will bring back that to the philippines

by law i. that was gave much as the reporting from manila in she, dan, at least 5 people have been killed during pro democracy, pro chess groups opposing military rule have been holding mass rallies ever since a military coup took place. last october. the army crack down on the demonstrations has become increasingly violent, or that a 100 for gestures have die. when the germany's biggest contemporary art shows has opened in the city of castle documentary displays works by artists from around the world. but a controversial mural has been removed this year because it contained anti semitic images. ah, it was a full house for the 1st real debate about the anti semitism scandal. at document of 15, there were experts on stage and in the audience, a member of the indonesian curatorial collective ruin, grupo,

who greeted the crowd in conciliatory tones. this is sir, very, a good location too, too little also that you 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 ma, sad 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 tunneling party, which enjoys cult status in its own 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. ah, budget man as well. cinnamon. how does it feel for artists working collectively to have their work removed? obama, the last that need there was no announcement massey, no dialogue, no discussion about what we wanted to express with this artwork or jaclyn. adams were hardier, 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 of the perspective there. and then you have to accept value. let's and listen to the perspective of others. think to me and then this won't work if people from indonesia come and say this is how it is like it or leave it as will that but it also won't work if you just point the finger at them and say do this or your outings are marked or 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 i never through of all, and i'm a supporter of a culture in germany that gives the institutions autonomy i know to know, but also great responsibility. i think also found fraud. 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. coming up next is to the point, i'll be back at the top of the hour with mobile news followed by the day i hope to see you that ah

mysterious masterpiece is perhaps the greatest leonardo masterpiece in the collection of the louvre. and no, it is not the mona lisa. it is the virgin of the rocks, 2 versions, multiple copies, and a hidden drawing. was there another symbolic meaning to this beautiful painting that perhaps we just don't understand in the search for answers. starts july 7th on d, w ah, liberty midst the big american promise of foundation of the american dream. and it's a beacon that shines around the world. but that american brand of liberty seems to be on the threads when millions of women find themselves suddenly.
