gains and months, a part of keeps new. counterfeits. foss, nato stay just the largest air force exercise in its history, led by germany. the grills involve 25 countries and more than 10000 soldiers, and i've seen as a clear signal to most most come the i'm the health as well come to the program. we'll get more reactions to better school and his death in moments. but 1st, let's have a look back at his life and his controversial legacy. a well, the form of you telling a prime minister silvio berlusconi has died. he was a to 6,

the full melita headed for different governments between the years 1994 and 2011 and became known for as high stakes corruption and 6 scandals. but a scone was a 1000000000 ad tycoon who reshape the media landscape and it's an offer to serve his populace message. he died in the hospital. the milan after suffering complications, links to leukemia. italy's prime minister, georgia maloney spoke of fellows going his legacy in a video message where the don yeah, it'll really learn from have that it should never have limits imposed on it. but it learned that it should never give up with him. we thought one last many battles and for him to we will bring home the goals that we had set ourselves together as a good buys, you'll be busy. that's good. that's a more now from gentler sylvia vocab in milan. so there for decades. betters. coney

was a towering figure and italian politics tell us more about his legacy as well. his legacy definitely remains a subject of debate. some hated him as the tensions of free enterprise enterprise and in a way, defender, advertising values and some others see him as a single corruption and even more of the k. he's been a controversial and to be the bigger but 30 central of, of the public debate of the past 30 years in it's me. he's fame is 1994 speech. the shipping time for which means defense into the field. change the totally the course to be through any time policy except i think is most important. legacy in is the change of language and political communication. we've been looking for the sco communication change from being the communication around the party to become something like a communication around a leader. so personal, the leader was central, the image was everything,

and he's been printing has been given to other pretty cool leaders that, that followed. he also control the media, which is something that, of course, everyone knows, but in addition to his private tv empire, berta sony also and got his hands on the public broadcast, the rise, and in a way, he also capitalize the fear of migraines. in normal life, in the way, in the public for some of the most rigid on to integrate um these courses i've ever had. he normalize the coming of power on the post basis. right? so we don't go to school any the, there would have never been there was, i mean, only today. now he was a controversial figure to say the least, but he was still very popular the country. why? so i think the key point about it to develop connie was, he's a, b, c to differentiates himself from competitors. and he taught in politics despite

thing himself associations for, for exactly right. he calibrated the message to different audiences, knowing when he could, you know, tell jokes. and when it was better to discuss the policy um, in a way he's age as well, could have been. and i said, because we have a very uh, old elect rate. um, so in spite of being, having been prime minister many different times, he a lot of italians, angry about politics and politicians didn't identify him as a physician. and this was one of the, of his main friends, the gentleman. so they have a copy of that with the latest on the news, the full may tell him prime minister silvio berlusconi as di, thank you very much. sylvia. thank you. know you cranes military says it has to re taken a 4th village from russian forces in the southeast against reported over 2 days of the 1st and months and a part of keeps new culture offensive. the village is allegedly recaptured and

a cluster of settlements in dough nets, that's a region possibly occupied by russia. ukraine in troops released this video proposed to the all of them opposing with the flag in stores of a bond. russians, military says it has retails ukraine's attempts to advance in the area. i already spoke to the foam intelligence officer, frank lead, which in oxford. and i often if this means that the ukrainian culture offensive is off to a good start. as i think what we can say, what we can say 2 things. first of all, that much of what we know is through a glass darkly. but another thing we can say is that what we haven't seen yet is the commitment of made ukranian forces. there are 4 separate axes which service, but seem to be a salting on, but all of them on, on, not full on salts, partly because i think they've yet to reach in most places. the 1st lines of

russian defense. that's what the strong strong points we still being developed over the of the winter. but they all making good progress. back to the i know at least goes what you might at least as much as what might be expected, but we've not saved the main assault yet. we've not seen made of 94, so you create new brigades yet committed frank. that was that now night. so it's starting, it's biggest of ad rails. they involve 10000 troops and 250 across from 25 countries known as operation ad. defend um, most of the girls are being staged in the skies over germany. the north of advertisement stops and the state flow. saxony is serving as the central logistics hub for the moves. official launch of the exercise. the head of germany is f for set the exercise. what was aimed at demonstrates of demonstrating nato's defense capabilities independent are very defender, 2023. we are showing,

we are proving and we are demonstrating the defense capability of this alliance. this exercise is a signal not aimed at any one. it is a signal to us. i record internally intimate to him. it is meaning it will confuse, taking part in this term and that exercises a signal that we are capable of defending this country. this alliance a and over to dw is a terry sills who's joining us from brussels, where nato is headquartered. i believe we can talk to terry. yes, that she has to he the gentleman ask for steve, stressing this exercise is not aimed at any one. no prizes for guessing who is the who is addressing that? well, that's right gearhart, that's nato's official line. that it is an alliance in that deterrence. and of course, doesn't pose a threat to anyone. but the german, generally speaking a earlier, a told us that also this was started to be planned in 20 after 20 fourteen's 1st

invasion by russia of ukraine. so we absolutely know what sparks the planning for this, which was for years by the way. so, you know, there are other countries that pose some kind of challenge for nato china with cyber cyber attacks or buying of infrastructure. and there's even some threats from iran. but when it comes to territorial threats, there's really only one country that nato is worried about. now the russian at croft up in operating in international space and a very provocative manner in the past. that's quite a common occurrence now with nato planes now, exercising in such numbers so close to rational nato's eastern flank, keeping a stranger's to yeah, that's what the situation is. cause huge concern at nato and also for civilian authorities now for many years. because what happens is these russian war planes fly into international aerospace, sometimes also buzzing nato aerospace without their transponders on so they can't

be detected. they also don't file any flight plans, so nobody knows what they're doing, where they're going. and this is why we see these nato scrambles a very aircraft constantly to just make sure that they can s corps, those planes out of international aerospace, certainly away from nato aerospace. so i would say that during this exercise, you probably have more vigilance than usual, more visibility of these kind of planes, but it couldn't be that russia, russia mounts some of these squadrons just to let need to know that if it's there too. so what do you reckon, how well equipped before this exercise has started, how well equipped is made to to defend itself? i don't think there's any question that nato could defend itself. that's what it was billed for. that's why it's existed for 75 years. it can always get better, and i definitely can save it after this exercise exercise, it will be better prepared because what happens when they, when they stage these exercises, even if they've planned for 4 years, when they actually put it into practice, they find gaps. they find things they haven't thought of before. a lot of those

problems come in literally mobility moving equipment from one place to the next. this happens more of course on, on land, but you also see it with all kinds of equipment that needs to be moved. tunnels aren't big enough, bridges aren't strong enough and these are the kind of things that they will be able to detect after these exercises. and after every time that they do this, they are definitely better prepared. it's more important now where the baltic states and poland are very much concerned that nato couldn't get its capabilities to the territory if russia were to step over that border. i'll natal plan is in any way worried about the responds from us go or i think they're always prepared for, for moscow to call this an escalation. this is what this is what rush it does. every exercise, every supply of equipment to ukraine is, is called an escalation and moscow threatens to a mountain its own measures in response. but i think that these are largely passed

where uh natal wasn't going to do things or perhaps would hold back a bit. it for fear of escalation, because we've seen this all out assault on ukraine. it's hard to imagine what worse it can do, then it's attacking civilians and hospitals and schools. at the same time, nato was careful to say, it was not going to fly over colleen in grad, this russian enclave. the 3rd between poland and lithuania. so they're making it official that they're not flying over russian territory. thank you very much. thank you, terry. but let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. in columbia, new details have emerged about the rescue of full siblings lost in the jungle for 40 days. the knowledge of the amazon to help them survive, find identify safe food supplies. the mother was reportedly alive for days off of the plane crashed and told them to seek help. before she died. at least 10
