ceteris we're down on previous nights, but the authorities are taking no chances with tens of thousands of additional offices deployed again on sunday nights of the w correspondence. sonya falling carson perez and she told us more about president back home security meeting. this isn't the 1st emergency meeting, the cause health, which is a, you know, toughness does, and security officials since the unrest again this week. and the fact that he is obviously holding this on a sunday evening, as he said, with his ministers of, you know, to take stock off this ongoing violence. and the mission is to tackle when he shows you how serious the situation is. and the kind of pressure that my call is when the facing tonight as opposed consecutive night, the $45.00 causing police officers, we'd be deployed costs problems to suppress portez, and to stop instances of vandalism and looting that would be in paris edition and an additional $7000.00 police officers and congress and in some of the following that's of widely condemned attack on the b as house in the suburbs felt the status

of police reinforcements of being same to cities like marcy and the all they are bracing from all by that. so this is so clean onto it. while the white house, as announced, the details of president joe biden's trip to europe ahead of nato's annual summit to be held this year. and the lithuanian capital vilnius by those 2 are willing, could have stopped in london for talks with the prime minister, wishes to knock and king charles fight, and will then fly onto vilnius for the 2 day nato meeting. binds, last stop, will be finland, nato's newest member. the northern country shares a border with russia and join nato, after russia's invasion of ukraine. dw correspondent janelle, dom alone told me more about biden's agenda for his upcoming trip. now this summit is, of course, taking place at a crucial junction juncture, for the war. ukraine's counter offensive has started bite and will want to discuss with allies how best to support this counter offensive. he will also want to parse

with allies of the meaning and opportunities present a given the events of the past week, such as are the failed wagner, mutiny and russia and reports of internal tensions among rushes, the security community he'll want to know along with allies, whether there is an opportunity there to capitalize on. apart from that, there are probably more contentious issues on the agenda as well, such as the question of ukraine's membership. no biden has been slower than other nato allies to walk back a play for past for ukraine to join nato. he's resisted setting out the time table so far, so he has a balancing act here between wanting to project unshakable unity within this alliance. but also wanting to lay out you the was his position on an issue where there isn't a 100 percent consensus. me and before that meeting he's going to be in london,

he's gonna be talking to king charles and prime minister. we should soon act there . so what can we expect from those tasks? indeed, as he said, it's the 1st time he is going to be seeing king charles, since he was crowned he did not attend the coordination in may 1st lady jill bite and when instead, and this is a contrast to rush you soon. ok, who he saw fairly recently, he was here in washington last months. they discuss a defense cooperation for ukraine as well as a trade ties. so knox office said they're looking forward to hosting biden that this meeting will build upon previous meetings. but of course, given the timing right before the building is summit, you can probably guess of that. so the thought you crane and the war will be high on your kinda in these thoughts as well. and a lot of things are changing in nato, too. we have a new member, finland bite and is actually going to helsinki, as i said. so what's, how is that important this visit helsinki?

well, barton is going to be commemorating how se finland, having joined nato, finland, of course, becoming a very important player. we have to understand that ever since a finland joins nato earlier this year than the board. the border between russia and nato countries effectively doubled, so that just highlights their importance. but one other thing that is going to be taking place is that joe biden will be talking to nordic leaders in the us, nordics the summit. they'll be talking about environment of technology and security . but you can also imagine that they're going to be, if it's not resolved at the feeling of summit, they're probably going to be talking about sweden's problems. joining nato as well of finland has says it's, he's a role in supporting sweden's membership, which has, of course, run into problems. so that is going to be on the agenda in helsinki. janelle demo in washington,

thanks for talking with us. so ukraine needs the west to give it shelves, plains, and patients. that was the message from top commander valerie's illusion. in an interview with the washington post, many western observers say ukraine's counter offensive is failing to make significant progress. key upsets, making slow, but steady gains, but admits that russian forces have also advanced in some areas detail. these nit connelly reports on the volume just cover a dro krusik and his unit on just threatening from the that's so close to the russians. they can see them without so much as a pair of binoculars, a duplicate help to drive the rest. and that is the key at the start to the will. that was a rapid increase success. but this is different. they've been here for months. so it's, you know, once you see isn't the counter offensive yet,

you'll know when you see it, for now, we're just testing them. i'm looking for the weak spots next up, right. as a full scale offensive when they, when was they still ahead of us? all it's a she and then what's the most we to put forth in the slow progress we're sick tells me is intentional. the russians had months to dig ditches, lay minds, the grand he says, isn't willing to risk the kind of casualties he's meant inflicted on rushes, backing up. most of the recent stumble of talk because they just tried to overwhelms with all day them. it was just like world war 2, they would just keep coming soon. we would say, well, another 2 would follow you down to another. 4 of them come up behind the jet or put us to part of the $31.00 of the machine guns run halt as they weren't even wearing helmets of body arms. we should have worked all they had with that gun. and many of these men had been fighting since the very 1st days of the school house krusik. when he lost all his family view. i took my son to his 1st day of school.

that was one time then my wife was in the hospital with the pen to scientists. that was my 2nd time for the last, the 3rd time i got 5 days off. and today, when i'm heading back to key for my cousins, funeral you see was killed, relaxing the lungs. so instead of having only brought big lines from the textbook another day and with another unit somewhere else and the don't use region, these men know their lives depend on every bit of training. they get of the, just a few days before we meet the soldiers had pushed the rationality back by almost the kilometer. was the soldiers the very 1st time storming well defended enemy positions? no one spoke, a word seems to us nothing. i think we were all just scared to punish

a girl. it's all about taking that 1st step out of the armored vehicle after that we were on auto pilot. it all just happened to because we were just relieved when we got into their trenches to know that we'd avoided their minds and they were definitely there. really shot decided that it was not our time. this is the village of east coach name. what's left of it? one of a handful of places, ukraine forces of re taken in recent weeks from life is so dangerous. here is one of the few places. no one's coming back to being out in the open. visible drones is risky. the face, mitre van would start the but then we're on the way these men are fighting a painstaking battle. one village at

a time. that lives already quite a tree on the line. they tell us they're not willing to take even more risk just to meet deadlines set by far away allies. that was dw, correspond to nick connelly reporting from the front lines in the don't you ask region in ukraine? well, on the sports now and in formula one, racing max for stopping has one red bulls home event, the austrian grand prix. that's 9 out of 9 for the red bull team this season. and it's for stipends. 5th in a row, or starting from paul max for stopping once again put on a dominant performance at the austrian growing pre it was not a perfect afternoon for the reigning champion, however. on lab $26.00 for stopping period and february charlotte clack and carlos science took over at the front bus. the dutchman passed the clinic and re
