defenders of the fatherland and said, moscow is fighting for what he called. it's historical lands in ukraine organizer say around $200000.00 people were expected to attend the rally, wash room d w 's. your chateau was previously based in moscow, but has worked in rica since russia closed w. moscow bureau. he earlier told me more about what putin had to say. well, put in, made a short speech battery or dick speech. he praised as expected. you mentioned this, the russian army, which according to him, is doing nothing but defending russia. by the way, to morrow is russia, russia's defender of father lundy will be celebrated. and today's opulent propaganda concert is exactly what the kremlin has hosted several times before at moscow's fame collusion stadium at the same symbolism. the same breath re cuz the same singers could be seen there. by the way, i wouldn't be surprised and surprised if there were some or the same spectators as last year,

because many of them were transported with special bosses. and these are the so called b j, nikki employees or state companies, teachers, and so one. so people who were instructed to join this concert, what was nuclear this year, is that an anti aircraft defense system was reportedly installed to next to the stadium, which shows the reality in the russian capital. thanks so much for that uri. could you please stand by? we're going to come back to you in just a moment, and 1st might take a look at another issue. earlier futon said he is looking forward to strengthening ties between russia and china. and we know beijing's top indefinite one he met put in at the kremlin, was that relations between beijing and moscow will not be influenced by other countries. newton also said he's looking forward to welcoming china's presidential campaign to visit moscow. was with us. so back over to you, you're a, what do you think beijing's objective is here? what is the importance of this meeting? of course,

for moscow is obviously much greater than from being put in his keen to show that he isn't isolated as what china's objective there are. we see that a senior chinese diplomat has been traveling to moscow to talk with the russian president, which means that he obviously raised issues that need to be clarified before the chinese president's visit to moscow. you mentioned that such a visit has already been announced, thought and this issue could only be russia's war against ukraine, and china wants to mediate and show to the world and above all, to the united states. that it is a reliable, international partner. and also very important for china is to show that it isn't going to supply russia with weapons. and china was expressly warrant against this by u. s. president biden. now another major issue regarding the war in ukraine is the announcement of the suspension of the new start nuclear treaty that putin made

yesterday. can you tell us what the latest is on this as expected both the timbers of the russian parliament approved of the suspension of the start treaty? the question clear is what's next and what is the difference between just suspending and to leaving the tree to completely put in some warning about suspension or suspending may be a signal that the russia is not going to increase the number of warheads. this was also confirmed by the russian foreign ministry. the good news experts say is that russia obviously, is going to continue to report its launches of into the continent, intercontinental ballistic missiles to the united states. this obligation would continue thanks to another agreement between the reformers of youth unit and use a from 9 to 8. but even the suspend at the start 3 to practical and no longer works and that's a bad news. each side will expect, expect divorced from each other. they are for an uncontrolled, unrestricted arms. res could begin,

and the threat of atomic war would increase dangerous times. we're living and thank you so much for that update. that's our moscow bureau chief here we were shadow enrica for us. the u. s. president joe biden has wrapped up a diplomatic mission to ukraine and poland, by meeting with leaders from the so called bucharest 9, which includes nations from nato's eastern flank. they came together in response to russia's invasion of ukraine a year ago, and the countries worried that mos how could threaten their sovereignty if its war in ukraine succeeds. biden has reaffirmed washington's commitment to nato's neutral defense treaty during a speech in warsaw. and i asked it of you correspondent, a burnt regrets in warsaw whether biden's visit has reassured nato's eastern members. but a day again, thousands of poets and also refugees from ukraine to witness the the preceding c at the presidential palace. and they are quite satisfied that the president biden

again reiterated turn the american commitment to defend native territory. every inch of it, as the president said, for him it says sacred commitment that united states has given. and also the politicians inside are the 9 heads of state and governments that were gathered there. well, a very happy, of course, that the americans are seeing this again and again and again. and i think they believe it, and it's also the other way around the case. of course, also the 9 front states if you recall them. so here from the baltics down to romania, are committed to defend these east and flank also for the other nato members. so it's like past that they are will do together. and can you tell us more about the so called eucharist 9? how has their role changed in nato since the start of a conflict in ukraine? where this, sir booker has 9 groups already found in 2015, one year after the herb russia annexed at the crimea,

and started it's war in eastern ukraine. and, and now after the full fledged invasion into ukraine, of course, this group is even more important. and now you have 8 better groups of nato in these countries. and this is a battalion, 1000 people. this is to show the commitment of nato to defend the territory. and these 8 countries, these 9 countries, sorry, are also asking for more troops. they want a whole brigade that would be $3500.00 people from nato. and they are also asking the united states to send even more troops, although in poland alone, they already $10000.00 american troops and a rotating basis. but this is, of course, in the view of these countries, not enough. they also want more armament, the more earn logistical support, more interest structure, and not only for themselves, but also for ukraine. this was also a topic here today,

but no concrete numbers and no concrete results. and as, and you have to say that only one country m hungary is out of line. a victor all been the prime minister of hungary says he wants to stay out of the war against russia. and all of this, he wants to maintain his good ties with vladimir putin. had there been any reactions in war saturday to the sabre rattling comments by russian president vladimir putin. and particularly regarding his announcement of the suspension of russia's participation in the new star training. where there was no official word on this, but many expert and the media has said, sir, it sabre rattling and it's, it's not so serious and put in will not are actually use no nuclear weapons anytime soon. there's more concern about and immediate needs that the, that ukraine has more fighter jets, long range missiles, for example, a tillery, there was a demonstration today here in warsaw by pro ukrainian protest. i said,

urged mr biden, to send fighter jets to ukraine. this will not happen any time soon the americans have and i said, this is not going to happen because it's too complicated to get these weapons in there and to operate. actually these a jets in ukraine em, but it's, it's been, yes, they have to listen to the speech of mister putin that nobody is taking this very seriously here. and you so much for reporting and that update as our correspondent and jamaica refining from warsaw. let's take a look now as mother stories making headlines around the world. palestinian officials say that israeli military has killed at least 10 people and wounded more than 100. in a rate in the occupied westbank city of novice israel says its soldiers were fired on while attempting to arrest alleged palestinian militants says the suspected no
