the will of ukrainian people to fight on continues. and so does this war? joining us al, from keith is our correspond mathias bellingham. but he has bring us up to date on the latest russian attacks in ukraine. what's been happening there today? yes, several missiles have been taken down pipe by air defense and also drones. so a lot was flying around in the air today. and some of it also hit that was the case in a village near ki, of where that's where the information that we're given by the authorities infrastructure has been hit. but we don't know exactly what and the southern the city of mich alive has also been hit mc alive. been one of the cities that frequently shelled by rockets. it's very close to the frontline so they can use rocket types that would not reach deep into the territory there. that's why this city, along with others that are close to the front line or to the russian border. like,

what is your or hockey are showed much more often and their residential building was hit again, a 5 story building a we've just seen the pictures of the boy was taken out under the rob. i understand the head of the u. s. nuclear agency is in kia for talks about the zap parisha nuclear plant mathias. would that facility is in russian hands. it's in a war zone, any progress being reported on how to assure the plants safety. so grossey came here after visiting moscow or he was conveying what he had talked about with put in to the ukrainians. and he says he's a hopeful that talks will be possible because put in said that he would be ready to talk. and you saw this as a good sign, but he didn't bring any specific any specific news, any specific commitments or anything. he just told us that the

situation was very precarious and that the has said that before. but the idea does not recognize the plant as russian boots and has a next it together with the territories is also signed a decree that would, according to the russians, bring it into the russian state assets. this is not recognized by the international community. grossey is calling for the russians to stop all military activity. their demilitarised that he doesn't use the word demilitarize, but he says that no rockets or shells or whatever must be fired from the territory and the church must not be fired at. and yet there is no specific progress yet, but i guess he has to be hopeful that these talks lead to something because the situation is very serious. it is. thank you very much. as always, our correspond mathias, spelling of their and keith. nato has wrapped up 2 days of talks in

brussels, with a sharp warning to russia not to use nuclear weapons in ukraine. the alliances secretary general. yes, sultan back says any use of nuclear arms would have severe consequences. nato countries agreed to step up their military support for ukraine. ministers also pushed forward a new joint protection initiative called the european sky shield. european allies are gearing up their air defense at the nato defense ministers meeting in brussels. 15 countries signed off on a plan to buy new air defense systems together. the german lead initiative has the goal to if we clean hands our ability to defend the alliance from all air and missile threats. threats that elsewhere have become reality. just days ago, russia launched rockets at cities across ukraine, destroying critical infrastructure and killing civilians and attacks. nato members have called ruthless and indiscriminate. bonnet take also the last 2 days at fax.

then the number of shelling shells and bombs rec orchestra has been over to 100 and crane has managed to bring them down over 50 percent as over 50 percent of them. so which shows that the defense is very, very crucial to save civilian lives. because russians are bombing at the moment, civilians, ukraine so far has been lacking modern missile defense equipment like this us made patriots system need to alice are now scrambling to provide support. germany has begun delivering iris t defense systems and pledges to send more of these powerful assets with a capacity to protect a mid sized city from air attacks. the u. s. u k are providing surface to air missile systems as well. but at the same time natal members are confronted with having no broad air defense capabilities themselves. in the event of an attack on european cities,

allies would have insufficient means to respond. the european sky shield initiative is supposed to change this to swing as more set set, so it has to go fast. that is important that these gaps are close and these times we are experiencing, these are threatening times challenging times. and we have to step up and take responsibility by name and t, v a happened secretary general ian short mc has announced the alliance would help ukraine transition from soviet era to nato level equipment with the war and ukraine escalating to another level. nato members only to make sure they themselves are covered as well. nato is planning on going ahead next week with nuclear preparedness exercises dubbed steadfast noon. i asked our correspondent in brussels, terry shoals for her takeaways from today's nato talks with defense ministers. certainly today, a lot of the focus was on this question of nuclear rhetoric coming out of the kremlin. every one is worried about the unpredictably of russian unpredictability

of russian president vladimir putin. and so well, nato says that it has not seen any, any practical change in the posture of russia's nuclear arsenal. nobody can take that for granted. and so this is why they're going ahead with this, this long planned exercise next week and, and why the deterrence messages continue to be issued from nato headquarters here? nobody wants president putin to think he's going to be able to get away with this. now they say that they would not respond in a nuclear way, but certainly russia would be made to feel the consequences in a most severe manner if he were to use any saw any kind of nuclear weapon against ukraine. the nato defense ministers, of course, covering a lot of ground there over the past couple of days. we are hearing also that they are the several later members want to create a joint anti odd anti missile shield for europe. tell us more about that. yes, this is a german lead initiative and it's been picking up steam since budgets are under

pressure. and since so much equipment is being sent to ukraine and to day on the sidelines of the defense ministers, meetings, 14 allies and finland, which is most likely soon to be an ally, signed an agreement that they would start working together on, on missile defense on air defense more broadly, and that means that they wouldn't each just be buying national systems, they would jointly procure them, they would make sure that all of these, these, this equipment works together. and, and this is a big deal. this is something nato has wanted to see for many, many years. and now it seems that that, that the pressure from the war on ukraine, the pressure on, on resources is finally making country's work together. this is going to be a big improvement in, in air defense, but also simply in cost of his efficiency for purchases. nato carries out of nuclear exercises readiness exercises every year. and they're going to cont, they're going to go ahead with theirs this year. despite the war in ukraine, terry,

is there a risk that russia could see that as a provocation? russia tends to describe every thing nato does as a provocation. so i don't think that's going to deter anyone in nato, from carrying out these exercises. in fact, i, everyone that i've spoken with says that if we were to even think about canceling this exercise, that would send the message that bullying works, that this nuclear sabre rattling works and it would in fact, even empower the crumbling to think about using nuclear weapons. because they would see that so western allies are, are backing down. so i'm told that there was never any consideration about calling off the exercise this year. terry, thank you very much. our correspond, terry sholtes. they're in brussels now to the us, we're the congressional committee investigating the january 6th. the tax on the capital building is promising. quote, surprising details. a hearing just getting underway in washington is likely to be

the last before november's mid term elections. donald trump's security staff are expected to give evidence. oh, the storming of the u. s. capital on january 6th, 2021. an unprecedented attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power from donald trump to joe biden. these images shocked the nation b and the world kathleen initially, republicans condemned the writers, but most have reversed course and thrown their support behind former president, trump again, only a small minority continued to demand. the trauma and the writers be held to account kasey, including liz cheney and adam kinsey are the only 2 republicans on the january 6th committee to investigate what role trump played in the riot room and efforts to overturn the election. shuttling out to the so far the committee has held a public hearing, featuring previously unseen footage and compelling witness testimony. pointing

directly to donald trump and his inner circle to say the elections. i just want to say congress has certified the results without saying the elections over ok. the committee accuses the former president of trying to overturn the 2020 election result of riling up the crowd of riders on january 6th. and egging on the attackers as it happened when the committee finishes its work. it will submit a final report with its findings and recommendations, including one tea recommendation, whether donald trump and his allies should face criminal charges. but in the end, it will be up to the justice department to decide what to do, and that will be a tough decision. does the justice department take an unprecedented leap and press the criminal charges against a former president, or will it use its resources to go after other members of trump's inner circle of

things in the dining room? most republicans have rejected these hearings as political theater. but with the report hanging over, donald trump's head, along with many other investigations, it is possible that the former president's popularity will take a hit and that florida governor ron de santis, the rising star of the republican party, could become the next republican presidential candidate in 2024. watching dw news from berlin up next is news asia i'm terry martin. thanks for watching. ah i just got he, she, she thought they were great. he will be.
