and i didn't know what so, so now i know the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on d w. the . this is the, the, the news line from the knighthood. it says it's taking a step towards agreeing its 1st defense strategy. since the cold war, it's heavy and still big says member states have agreed to move the crank closer to the alliance will have analysis from the tools in brussel. also coming across the launch is a missile strikes on the credit is capital k f. as

a delegation of african leaders arrived on a piece mission plus the you and calls at the west migrant tragedy. in recent memory, relatives and friends arrive in greece to find out if their loved ones survived, the thinking of other thoughts as many as 500 people of fi and to address the . i'm anthony, how it welcome to the program. nato secretary general, we installed in the excess members have agreed to move your crime closer to the military alliance. is expressed confidence that they will be a consensus on this issue as next month to nato summit in vilnius stone. big say the night. so you crank council will be set up with keith will be represented as an equal partner. he made the comments on the final day of a nice defense ministers meeting in brussels. so it sounds,

we're also working to establish a new name. the ukraine council will ukraine will be equal to nate, while us i console on the side on security issues of mutual concern. all or, and vision is to have the 1st meeting or the new council in the news with post them . so then we all agree that you create in the household. it moved closer to night to over the past decades. let's get more insight from think w correspondent, terry schultz in brussels. terry, so many why he outcomes on the table now? what stood out to you is the most significant outcome of the meeting. well, obviously for ukraine, what you just heard there from the secretary general silverberg is very important. they had hoped to be offered membership. that's very unlikely, but there will be other moves taken to make ukraine feel more secure in a future within this alliance. but in addition to that, there are some practical things that happen here that are also very important for

keith. and one of those is that allies agreed to separate the training of pilots for f sixteens. now, no one is certain to give fighter aircraft to ukraine at this point. they're talking more about possibly after the war. you never know that that's changed many times, but many countries came forward and said we'd like to train these pilots, so they'll be ready isn't when that happens, it's what they call a burn coalition. formulating around getting ukrainians, trade adam, and eventually getting them these aircraft. so that was another big outcome of the summit and, and finally, just for nato watchers um, it appears to be confirmed now that nato secretary general un stilton burke will be staying on in his position. another year, the alliance has not coalesced around another candidate. and while the secretary general himself says he is not seeking an extension, it appears to be asked to take one. you put the question personally to him, terry. how did discussions about sweden's nathan membership and phone which

i did and, and that's in part because they were discussing regional plans, how the alliance is going to re sort of calculate what it does of a certain part of the lives comes under attack. and of course sweden sits right in the middle of, of other nato allies, finland in norway, up there was denmark in the baltic. so there's a bit of a hole there is sweden doesn't get nato membership and of course has these are questions we've been asking over and over and over for a year now. and it doesn't appear that they got any sort of signed from turkey, that president air. the one is willing to waive turkey, to waive sweden through, to ask his parliament to approve sweden. and we also heard from the swedish defense minister that he wasn't given any such assurances, but something else did happen during this meeting. and that is that the turkish parliament extended it's sitting period by another month. it would have been out of session now until october of course, passing the bill, me a summit in july. now it will actually stay in session another month and could approve swedish membership if president are the ones that there to law makers.

terry will know that more defense means more spending. we're the discussions now on news spending commitments as well. this discussion about 2 percent. but allies need to spend 2 percent of their g d, p on their militaries in order to be ready for whatever nato may be. asked to do that pledge is is over next year that was in in 2024. so they've got to come up with some other language to, to try to commit governments to spend enough on their militaries to be, to be prepared for it for possible crises. so there's been a lot of discussion about whether that can stay at 2 percent. there are a lot of countries that would like it to be higher. the baltic states are already spending, you know, 3 percent and we'd like there to be a commitment from other countries to do that. that's not going to happen. there are still plenty of them, not even spending 2 percent. so what they hope to do at this bill in the us summit is strength in the language and say that you need to spend at least 2 percent no longer just reach 2 percent,

but go above it. but they're not going to be able to hold them to that with any sort of thanks. it is as it seems now. finally, terry, the meeting was logically focused, as you say, on planning for the vilnius summit next month. e friend would like to be invited to join their will that happened secretary general salton berg said in very clear terms at his press conference just just a bit ago, that there will not be an invitation to ukraine to join. so that most of you know, struck like like a knife and ukrainian hearts because they had really hopes that with everything they've done the way they feel they're defending europe themselves, that they wouldn't be offered to join. but what, what secretary general silverberg explained is that they will all work on how to get ukraine more and more close to the lines to get it ready for eventual membership. he said everyone agrees on that, but there won't be a timeline be done in brussels state. w correspondent, tara hills. thank of the crime says that his downs, 12 of russian missiles including 6 hoc,

this sonic rockets of the capital case. meanwhile, saver civil african leaders have arrived in the city on a peace mission. the delegation included south african president, 0 rema pose as well as late as from senegal, zambia, commodus, and egypt. housing talks with president, a lot of me savanski before traveling on to some petersburg to make russians vladimir putin. the deputies and economy is inc, if you send us this assessment of the dice proceedings. so i saw, well, certainly this was a very loud warning here in care of lots of antique a missile systems. the to be heard, people were just going about that day. and then there was a, an error, a warning, and within a few minutes, those bangs got going sense. but these were very foss, many ballistic missiles that are hard to shoot down and cruise missiles for now they're talking about 12 themselves in total that were shut down. but if it came, and this does come with some surprise in the past, when prominent foreigners does have come to cape, especially ones with good ties to russia. as the case with the application,

the russians have chose not to attack key. if that was the case when the chinese representative was here a couple of weeks ago, and this time very different is a real hope here in cuba that this will bring home to ality of this will, will move maybe some of these leads away from the position of new to try to say stopped employing this conflict. get them to realize that this is a world is a sense that you're seeing these things experiencing it on your own. is a very different proposition to reading the news about ukraine for false. that's definitely the hope here that they can also get these asking me just to sign up to ukraine's efforts to get negotiations. guy rather than trying to kind of jot some kind of course of strict neutrality between rushing your grade was need connelly reporting that from keith. a great coach. god says it's winding up its search for survivors of the shipwrecked tragedy in the mediterranean. hundreds who were on board a fishing boat carrying migrants still missing out of 30 se. there's no hope of finding any one else, a lot. 78 people have been consent to. another 104 were rescued and taken to

account. know that grace has been criticized. adverts handling of the disaster though is donovan is with the human rights the, the united nations refugee. i didn't say joining us this out from brought us love it into the voc. you're welcome to the definitely, what are your concerns about the recovery operation in a tragedy with the death toll which could run into the hundreds as as you said, it really is a, an absolute tragedy. i mean, what's, what's the, what we're seeing is a passer in of, of increasing numbers of desks in the mediterranean, but just needs to stop. and we need to see more decisive action by, by european union states and coordinates of efforts in greece. as we mentioned, there have been 78 bodies recovers and very sadly it's, there's a strong likelihood that there are hundreds more people who, who are missing and may never mind. their bodies may never be recover it. and so

it's really a tragedy of a huge magnitude. and we, we release the statement today. also it's higher than what we're welcoming. the fact that the greek lazar sees, have said that an independent investigation will be carried ours into the circumstances and arrange what happens. and we, we are aware thus, and there are reports of the both being in distress as early as the 13th and the day before, and the boat finally capsize. so it's very important that we understand what happens and, and fly this tragedy and was able to unfold the ways the great coast. god says he did offer help before the boat's engines filed, but we're told it would file on to italy. should the coast guard have stepped in earlier and there is an obligation under maritime law that if it both is in distress, regardless of the circumstances of the, of the people who are on board. and if it's an on see where the vessel boss and

that every effort should be taken to, to, to rescue people. and before it's as results and in the book capsizing, which unfortunately, that's what happened. some in g o side, the migraines, preferred destination, was easily in order to avoid being held in a great camp. is this a common feeling among those trying to reach your so if you look at the statistics in terms of the number of arrivals through the mediterranean, is we have consistent keeping the country of us received the highest numbers and that's the similarity again, this year of almost 7, just over $70000.00 the rivals this year. the vast majority have been to italy and normally the parsing libya and that we are seeing. we are seeing new roots emerging . we are seeing different patterns emerging. but i think we need to look at this holistically and to understand us that restrictive order policies obviously lead people to take, to take more risk and to take more dangerous journeys. and i think,

as i said, it needs to be something that successful is typically every, every country in europe needs to bear some responsibility and to share responsibility with the states that are off the after ups for it is a cons be left to, to one country to a 100 sort of countries to deal with this that has to be based on responsibility sharing and on, on, on real gestures of solidarity and not just statements. so there's real gestures of solidarity will grease and the rest of the european type not this time. and take action this time, but obviously that's what we hope will happen. i mean we've seen tragedy after tragedy in the mediterranean from for years. i mean since 2014 that there's been all over 26000 us in the mediterranean. it's, it just simply kind of go on and we hope that this incidents, the tragedy by that is, that's, that's at least something will come from about the, the decisive action will be taken. that states will, will take responsibility. and unless it would be some concrete results in terms of,

of mechanisms to ensure search and rescue capacity to ensure a coordination, to ensure a solidarity and proper responsibility sharing among e u. member states outside of politics. what was the incident, do you think change the device as a new countries where to find the pact on migration and, and asylum? it's, it's hard to say i'm, we're, we're positive that some progress is being made towards, towards some decisions around the pack. you pack the migration of the site them, but we continue to advocate the priority areas within that are coordinated search and rescue across the mediterranean, all mediterranean states and also solidarity. and as i said, a company left to frontline states to, to not only disembark, but to process all refugees or asylum seekers, it needs to be that needs to be a mechanism in place where, where all states bear some responsibility. the ways, donovan, with the u. n. i c a united nations revenue agency. thank so much for your time.
