cheering crowds in poland today that western support for ukraine will not waver just hours earlier. russian, president, putin, he doubled down on the law, accusing the west of starting the war, and he also suspended a nuclear weapons treaty with the us. ah, i bring coughed our viewers watching on p b as in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. this week, the russian invasion of ukraine hits the one year mark to day 2 presidents. russia's vladimir putin and americans. joe biden presented portraits of that war that could not be more different. addressing cheering crowds in warsaw, poland biden said that the united states in the west do not want to destroy russia . a claim that putin has repeatedly made biden also said that the warden, ukraine,

has hardened western, resolved to defend democracy, and he insisted that nato today is stronger than ever go. i spoke to rogue one year to this war. food no longer doubts the strength of our coalition, but he still doubts our conviction. he doubts our faint power. he dodge our continued support for ukraine. he dash with our nato can remain unified, but there should be no doubt our support you for grain will not waver. naida will not be divided and we will not tire. that was you as president by their speaking in warsaw, poland l. just hours earlier. russian president putin delivered his state of the nation address and in that address, he announced that russia is suspending its last major nuclear disarmament agreement with the united states. the new start treaty commits russia and the us to limiting their stock pile of nuclear warheads. now that deal is already scheduled to expire

in the year 2026. in an address to the nation. vladimir putin also said that the west had started the war into cray. if, if he did not see below d, nearer let grand entry for it defiant that he may pu, tend to address both his domestic audience and the west. once again, he blamed the west for the war in ukraine. as he gets the responsibility for fermenting the ukraine conflict for its escalation and for the increasing number of victims lies entirely with western elites. and of course, with the current regime and key of like to which the ukrainian people are strangers . you, again, we pushed the narrative that the people of eastern ukraine actually want to be russian. one of his justifications that the war one year ago was his claim that ukraine has always been part of russia it other than the way ukraine is not just a neighboring country. it's an inalienable part of our own history culture and

spiritual space, or nebraska to loud applause from russian politicians and military representatives who have fought in ukraine, put in, insisted russia would emerge victorious. it was much at the west aims to end russia once and for all what they have to realize. it's impossible to defeat russia on the battlefield. good, ignoring the strength of ukraine's resistance and the lack of russian progress on the ground, the kremlin leader, that the special military operation as moscow calls it, would achieve its goals. he announced that russia's army would be modernized, saying his country has the necessary financial resources to safeguard its security and development. despite the west's economic sanctions, local, then put in, raise the states in his standoff with the west. you're throwing down the gauntlet to you as president to abide anyone he announce russia is suspending its participation in the new start treaty that limits both countries, nuclear arsenals,

with new russia is not withdrawing from the treaty. no, it is suspending its participation. once again, vladimir putin is stoking fears of a nuclear confrontation and we have team covers of today's is he presidents to speeches or brussels bureau chief alexander for norman. she is in warsaw at the royal castle where he was president by gave his speech earlier to day, andy w, as in his whole, she is covering it from washington, d. c. now i spoke with him earlier and i began by asking alexandra if president biden speech to spelled any doubts about us resolve and support for ukraine. yes, i would say so, and i think this was said biden's main message here, a message that went down well with his polish audience and with the europeans in general, i would say at the you asked president emphasized here that knowing what you stand

for is important but knowing who you are standing with makes all the difference. and he spoke about natal and you asked commitments to an 8 us article 5, an article that states clearly that an attack against one ally is considered an attack against all allies. and that was, of course, what his polish audience wanted to hear, and many people there at the castle told me that they were waiting for these words in is let me ask you how you see it from the other side of the atlantic. what would you say was the biggest take away from biden's speech today? yeah, i agree with alexandra here. vital. definitely wanted to send a clear message to the polish people into a europe overall, but also to his fellow americans and brand. i found it quite a strong how you could actually feel the pressure for him. it was in his own

a kind of american, a group here. why? because as more and more of his fellow americans are starting really to ask why the u. s. is spending so much money in this far away country and therefore we heard this really strong words, like for example, i quote this here, there's nothing less than freedom at stake. so this was a strong message also for home from abroad in the u. s. president. today, he also had some words or message for the people of russia. i want you to take a listen to part of what he said today. so right. i speak once more to the people of russia. did i say nations of europe do not seek to control or destroy russia? the west was not plotting to attack russia, as prudent said today, and millions of russian citizens only want to live in peace with their neighbors

are not the enemy. this war is never a necessity. it's a tragedy president boon chose his war. every day, the war continues. is his joyce. he could add the war with the word it. several of russia stopped invading ukraine. it would end the war if ukraine stop defending himself against russia would be the end of ukraine. eliza, let me ask you a, we know what the u. s. president is saying, there we hear his message. do you think that most of the people in russia well the, even where they even get that message? well, i doubt that they will really get the message given the fact that all the media other is controlled by the kremlin. however, i was not surprised stead a joe biden mentioned, letting me put in and stay directly address the people of russia,

even though his team had told the press before the speech that they didn't wanted to, to turn into their back and forth with 14. but of course, after put in speech, my impression was, was that the you, as president had to push back against, put in narrative, he couldn't let it stand this claim that nato is to blame, that it wants to destroy russia. and i think it was important for him to try to convey this message to the russian people that this is not true that foot in kent could. and the war immediately if he wanted to in years before we go, let me ask you about tell this continues with you as president. we know yesterday he was in key today the speech, but there are still more business to be taken care of isn't right, so the 2 highlights are kind of over by there is another important meeting, the so called bucharest format that will take place tomorrow, where he meets with 9 countries from the eastern nato flank,

a brand. and there is some expectation that he then finally will announce to send heavier weaponry to prevent the war to turn into a statement. because that was somewhat of a disappointment, not only in here, but also today in warsaw or some, or actually many people in this part of the world to hope that the us to send, for example, f. 16 fighter jet and other heavier weaponry to ukraine, dw z, his bowl in washington and alexander phenomena in warsaw to both of you. thank you . earlier i spoke with elena scope and she's the executive director of the n g o. v in a center for disarmament and non proliferation, she explained what rushes, suspension of its participation in the new start treaty. what it means. well, there have been precedents before about the suspension of treating and including by

the u. s. and previously. but one of the things that probably put in is trying to kind of weight. this is one of the instruments where he understands the interest of the united states for it to be continued. what it means in practical terms is that they're likely to see less transparency about the what's going on in russia with this strategic nuclear missile. however, there has been a clarification from the russian foreign ministry that russia, with phil observe the limits established in that team. and it will also continue to modify, along to inter continental and see want to mess which is a good news. what is not included in their kind of

remaining parts is that part of the treaty isn't occasion about x, the size that each come to that involves this letter. and that is very, i was please slippery slope. you know, countries who's missing each other in time. so, so that one is probably the most important part of this suspension at the moment. we know that this treaty is scheduled to expire in 2026. what are the chances considering how relations, how frigid relations are right now? what would you say are the chances of the us and russia negotiating a new treat? o, i hope this suspension is in suspension, and they can go back to resuming implementation of it as agreed. but negotiating

n e t t e said very lengthy procedure on when the us and russia negotiating exactly when you start to t i which was ratified in 2010. it was a matter of a year and a half, almost to get it there. and the relationship between the 2 countries, wilmont and it was building on the previous think. so anything you would be longer difficult. but again, if we do see a different change in the workforce and the relationship, nothing it's out of reach. but i'm very concerned about the even seeing that treaty to survive until 2026. and also, if it's treaty is allowed to expire, it will, in a way, take us back in 50 years to a world where there were no limits on the warheads these intercontinental ballistic

missile warheads. are you concerned that that is going to be the case we're going back in time, but we're also going to be adding a china into the mix. well will, if, if it does expire our way, even russia with problems that we did before 2026. it will be the 1st time and you know, right, almost 50 years where the 2 countries do not have a letter on arms control treaties that focuses on it. then you quit arsenal, which is an unusual about plan, given the history. and you're also correct that, that probably andros i have actually been insisting on that for a while and next to the student with china as well. but the process this so that is unclear them and china have been waiting these discussions with the u. s. besides, for the reasons, because it's arson,

now he's much smaller and that on the united states they feel like it's to build out for you or sit down illinois to cobra. we appreciate your time in your valuable insights tonight. thank you. my pleasure. thank you. more earthquakes along the border of northern syria and turkey have killed at least 8 people. the quakes destroyed buildings which were damaged by earthquakes. just 2 weeks ago. more than 47000 people are known to have died in that disaster. the united nation says that more aid is needed among the most vulnerable survivors of these earthquakes or children. the w johan has this report, ah, in a school yard income on my rush, an improvised painting lesson. these children and their families have been left

but we realized that they need so much more than just food. talked of was all new york. as night falls, a surprise for the children. the school yard becomes an open air cinema. there is even popcorn and hot chocolate. this strange new life in a makeshift camp. a joyful adventure, if only for a few hours and for more now i'm joined by dan stewards. he's with said the children u. k. he is in turkey's her ty, province tonight, dan, it's good to have you. with this. tell me what is the situation right now in the city of godaddy, and have me do, do we have a sense of how many children need help right now? we know the across the, the full region, not southern tech here in northern serial, where these are, the brakes have struck there at least 7000000 children who have been affected and

need help. and you know, it became just from last night we had another earthquake here in southern care, which must have been absolutely terrifying for children who have already lived 3, such a traumatic experience. once myself in the team were actually on the road, when it happened, the ground ship violently, our costs will happen. we are able to pull off and wait for the shaking off the our mind. our minds immediately turn to the millions of children and families across the region and the fact that they have really reliving the finite math that i experienced a couple of weeks. it is, it's hard to get your mind around that and it makes me wonder what kind of support are you able didn't to give the children at the moment. what's really important is for children to time as far as possible and you know what is a terrible situation to offense of normality and stability. so that means faster

ball. i'm ensuring that they are safe with best dominey as far as possible. and then boy, we're doing is we're going around some of the small settlements and providing sort of structured play with the children. some of the sort of activities that you were just showing. an actual fact simple drawing class can be really effective way of helping children thought to process and express what they've been 3 very sadly, this week we've had children who have in fact drawn that bodies that i saw off to the us, the fast are quite struck which is of course, or if you think of but at the same time for young children during really can be a language and really can help them to express that grief and thoughts processing cancer with it said the children, you k, did, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight, and we certainly appreciate all the work that you and your team are doing. thank you. over for decades, the director of steven spielberg has been packing cinemas with action adventure,

such as jaws, jurassic park and drama, such as schindler's list and saving private. ryan was middleburg. he is now being honored for his life's work. here in berlin at the berlin film festival. the berlin o 3 also have to take care. it's more important than your hobby. steven spielberg is known for telling epic tails, but the directors latest film is based on his own life. i think i'm always vulnerable. in terms of the movies i made the a but this is a very personal story. it's the 1st time i've taken a privacy public and i'd never done that music dreamed nominated for 7 oscars. the fable mens is about a young jewish boy who makes movies as a way to navigate his own dysfunctional family. spielberg made his very own 1st amateur film at age 12. as a teenager, he toward universal studios and chatted up

a movie executive. soon he was working there. spielberg's 1st major film for universal was the 1971 thriller dual high speed chase with a murderous trucker. a few years later, his film jaws would scare an entire generation out of the water. b 1980. so the beginning of the indiana jones franchise and of course e t back can you soul little school include the family movie about a stranded alien. and a group of kids fighting to save him, held the record for the highest grossing film of all time. for 11 years until 1993 when spielberg broke his own record with jurassic, are you in that same year spielberg's holocaust trauma

schindler's list about a german factory owner's plan to save more than a 1000 jews. homer, the film 17 oscars. my train, very few directors have made as many big budget movies across as many different genres as steven spielberg. but what's unique about steven spielberg's life's work that's being recognized here in berlin is the universality of his storytelling. and that is what resonates with viewers across cultures and generations. spielberg will receive the honorary golden bear at a screening of the fable men's. and perhaps next month, he'll be accepting more awards at the oscars. a handsome jewish boy to psyche with the w salita of arrow. she is at the bare the knowledge she told me that steven spielberg, he has proven to be one of the biggest stars of the festival. so far. yes. well,

i at when they flew to question from the audience, you've never seen so many hands go up at once. there was literally practically a physical fight for the microphone among the journalist there. now, a spielberg did say that it was a massive honor to get his prize at the berlin either because he does consider this to be one of the most impressive festivals in the world. he was of course, asked about which of his films is his favorite, or he answered that just like with his children, he doesn't have a favorite. but he does say, which was the most difficult to make. and that there was of course jaws a famously challenging because of the weather and mechanical shark named bruce that just there a few ball and kept breaking down, which is why you didn't see it very much. i also said up to you were very recently the most emotional of his films, wasa, unsurprisingly, schindler's list, and that it was superseded recently by the fable mans. obviously, his family story, or his mother, he said, had been nagging him, had marked him for many years, or to tell the family story,

but he'd only found the courage to do so. during the pandemic, he also was asked or whether he had any tips or new directors. and he said, forget about getting the perfect shot is all about the story. he said, the best thing you can do is write a brilliant screenplay. if you can't. right. he said part you up with somebody who can and make a lifelong partnership if possible. yeah, cool. so now the faith for the fable man, he's been nominated for the 1st time in his career for best screenplay, and he's enormously proud of that. yeah, i mean that would help to also have a little bit of luck when you're trying to become a famous director like he has become. i know that the festival is going to be screening several of his films as a tribute we brought about 20 seconds to tell me what, what's your favorite holiday? my favorite is e t, i watch it every year. it makes me cry. i love the fact that it's actually based on it's an imaginary friend that spielberg invented after his parents divorce. i think that's really touching other figures as

a great story. e t. i like saving private ryan, an schindler's list, both of great dramas. do you have a report of the leader of ardo from the berlin, ala to night, to lead a? thank you. and you're watching the w news live from berlin. his reminder of the top story we're following for you this our, you as president joe biden has marked the run up to the one year anniversary of the invasion of ukraine by russia. with a passionate defense of freed up by told, cheering crowds in poland. that western support for ukraine will not wave you watch the w news after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the day. stick around. we will be right back with
