a member of nato. how has the war in ukraine changed thinking in norway? well, i would say from the mentally larkin, all the european countries in the semester bordering countries with we wake up and learned of our neighbor has a truck and all the neighbor massively. and as we have seen since february, basically aiming at destroying buildings, workplaces, infrastructure, driving millions of people escaping it is a fundamental change to the whole european landscape. so yes it is, it is crucial. our neighbors, sweden and finland. i mean, also, nato decided quickly that they want to be in nato. we don't have a perceived direct threat at our border, like what we have seen in ukraine, but of course we are taking measure to safeguard our security. i mean, you said in the past that russia and norway have been at peace for more than

a 1000 years. do you think there is a direct threat to norwegian territorial perhaps, to norwegian infrastructure, coming from russia? afterward, russia has demonstrated the ukraine. nobody can, can, can hide away that question. you know, the night, again, you know, russia has moved both people and military equipment from the north to your grain. so we observe that and we don't observe direct attention at our border. but of course we follow in the developments in our near abroad. we sailor navy, we fly our pachel planes to monitor the situation. and we do that very closely with our nordic partners and, but also with our nato partners. so when we now put the major emphasis on securing our infrastructure, we do that as norway. and we do that in close cooperation with our and i sent partners. and 1st among them with germany, you're here and berlin for

a security conference, a and for talks with the german government to let's talk about nato starts. is it the right one, providing technical support, but waiting essentially for ukraine to win the war on its own that might take a very long time? is it the right approach? well, you know this, this is not a war against nato territory, but close to native territory. and ukraine is a free democratic nation not to serve support. and i think both nor in germany made a very historic decision back in february to, to offer military equipment to a country at war. and we have done so we know whether you have not done that since the 1950s. and, you know, we now provide military equipment that is ukraine's right to defend itself, and it is our right to help you grain defend itself. global life expectancy has increased significantly over the past decades, but more and more people are dying from all timers. the most common type of

dementia in the united states, for example, is the 7th leading cause of death. now, an experimental drug is bringing new hope for a possible treatment. that's the good news. there are, however serious side effects that when you love it, so rare beat of good news for david as some and his loved ones. the 70 year old woodworker had to quit his job. when he was hit by alzheimer's. he could no longer remember how to use his tools. wising help also curious. could you get the brooklyn fridge for me, please? yeah. david is one of nearly 1800 patients who have taken part in the international trial of the experimental drug designed by japan's. i say, and it's us partner biogen when we 1st began this 2 and a half years ago, we didn't necessarily think it would help off. ah, but we felt we were doing something and could help future generations. it turned

out the drug could actually help the trail has shown that the treatment coldly canon mab is able to slow down mental decline by 27 percent when diagnosed. tell at an early stage, this is so exciting because now we're getting results. the 1st results that are indicating that the drug is successfully trees the underlying cause and is slowing down the symptoms of cognitive impairment and also the behavioral symptoms associated with alzheimer's disease. they have been concerns over side effects, which include brain swelling. 2 people have died while 14 percent of the trial participants suffered brain bleeds. scientists, however stress that the same number of those given a placebo, also died. the producer stress that the new treatment is not a cure for alzheimer's, but it does bring hope for people like dev. it says the horrible lost the thing.

so if you, if you are, if somebody can slow it down and then eventually cut it stopped, took over her b brewer. the companies behind the drug are now planning to apply for licensing, which would make it available for treatment within 2 to 3 years. at the world cup and guitar, it was group seized turn to play and pray with every team hoping to advanced to the knockout stages of the tournament. despite leonor nothing missing a penalty, it was argentina getting a crucial win over poland. the 1st score was a bit clumsy. alexis mcallister's shot when to office put onto his chin up against the post and into the goal. in the 6 these demons minute, julio. and albert is made in to nil, and that was how it ended. or did he no one the grew fallen by poland, whose fans and player saw a few minutes after the game that the 2 had advanced mexico

and saudi arabia both had a chance to claw their way to a 2nd place in group. see, after a scoreless, 1st half, mexico put itself in the lead with a corner cake that made it easy for henry wharton. the stricken simply had to touch the ball, the striker, that is, and the 47 minute a free kick. 5 minutes later all been settled. the match from mexico lose chavez, blast of the ball into the corner town. give mexico a to one victory. and joining me now to talk about a nail biter other world. good day is philip buckner of d. w. sports. philip group see the evening matches could not have been any closer. we were on the edges over us. it was without a doubt the most exciting world cup day so far. we can take a look at the standings pretty unsurprisingly, argentina come out on top of the group. that is to be expected, but they did come back strong after losing their, our world cup opening match against saudi arabia. so 6 points there. but then

poland and mexico, that was really the thriller of the night. we take a look at the standings and see that both teams have a when a tie and a lost each. they bought the score 2 goals and just by the mere golden friendship of one goal, can see that more from mexico, poland go through. and this goal was actually scored in the 95th minute by saudi arabia hath is gone not have been scored. we would have taken a look at who had more yellow cards on who would be going through to the next round . so really by the skin of their teeth. poland, advance and mexico are out. let's say what i didn't tina lionel mathee here. really one the world cup trophy and his dream for now live on. it does, however, he missed another penalty today. so poland, in that sense can thank him as well because that would have shifted the golden french against their favor as well. the 2nd penalty that he's missed, that's the 1st time we'll have history, actually that that has happened to a player. so a record, the economist probably wasn't after. he's still looking for his 9th goal for argentina in the world cup that would surpass google mara, donna,

the argentinean legend, the owner messy. without a doubt, a legend living legend himself, in the conversation of being the greatest player of all time. but can he really be the best player of all time without having won a world cup? he still has the chance he's through to the run of 16 and in great detail is down to the very last minute. that's right. it was another nail biting finished there. just one goal would have made the difference. let's take a look at those standings as well. that group sees friends at the very top with 6 points. no surprise there. however, they were beat by tunisia today, which comes as a big surprise. so full disclosure is played a fantastic game. they definitely deserve to win today. however, france bench 9 of their starters. so that means that it was basically their b team playing today. and people might have said australians when their magic denmark, they are through in 2nd place, had they not won this game today. then there might have been a whole different conversation about france not playing with their best squad. we could have seen arguments,

they were being made that teams should always try for their best no matter what. but this wasn't the case. so we see australia go through to needs are knocked out unfortunately. but then we have to just finish off with denmark who were considered as a dark horse in this tournament. by many ahead of this tournament, they finished in the semi finals in the euro's 2020, just last year when it took place on their attend. and the people walk up ranking but just managed to get a single point and only score why goal as well. so an absolutely disappointing performance by denmark. they're going home along with to nisa friends and australia through and just to finish those off argentina against australia, the mix match up and friends face polar fan of d. w for thank you so much. finally, the beget that slender loaf of bread. so typical of france has joined a united nations list of culturally important items. a white loaf is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. many french people buy one every day and can't imagine living without them. the beget was invented by bakers in the army of
