the the, this is the w news life in berlin. you as president joe biden says that ukraine is not ready for data membership. the comment comes as fight and arrives in europe. the head of the annual nato summit for leaders are sent to the faith, providing you frame with cluster munitions and its prospect for membership in the western military alliance. also coming up

a battle field with no place to hide. drone operators on both sides of the ukrainian front lines keep close tabs on each other's positions while making themselves prime targets. dw visits a drone command center in the ukrainian trenches and monsoon downpours trigger, a flooding of land flies in northern india. and there is more heavy rain in the forecast, plus a 16 year old leaves the book behind to make the 4th round at wimbledon. that's the story coming up later in the sarah kelly. welcome to the program. us president joe biden has said that ukraine's bid for nato membership can only start after russia's war, and ukraine has come to an end. but the western military alliance look set to make some long term security guarantees for keith. natal leaders will be meeting this

week and lithuania for their annual summit. ukrainian president followed him as a lensky has been on a diplomatic tour of european capitals to secure support for his country's bid to join nato. but the alliance remains to bind it on the issue. as nato begins, the final preparations for its summit in lithuania, let him use the lensky has been on a diplomatic charge, seeking support for ukraine's membership pope's in just a few days. zalinski met with the leaders of bulgaria, the check for a public slovakia, turkey, and poland. o nathan mendez with the power to help secure backing the ukraine's eventual admission. it's still

a matter of political wills, just to find the proper wording and invite ukraine. it would be an important message to say that nature is not afraid of russia. ukraine should yet clear secure time guarantees, while it does not need to keep up. and that is very important now coined us president joe biden has arrived in europe ahead of the summit before leaving. he told cnn that ukraine is not ready to join the alliance, and the keys will have to wait until the war is over. but he added that until it can join the united states is prepared to offer ukraine protection. similar to what it provides the israel you're going to see commitments by all the allies to continue to support their efforts to succeed on the battlefield. you're also going to see from all the allies, a concerted unified approach to making it clear that nato is eventually going to be

in ukraine's future. or how far away that future might be could be clarified at the tools in vilnius this week. and earlier i spoke with the dw corresponded and economy and keith, and i asked him, what presidents lensky means when he says that he is hoping for the best possible result from the upcoming 8 of summit for i think sarah, he was hoping for a commitment to joining off to the war ends, i think no one realistically here in cuba, expected membership as long as the battlefields continue see as much fighting as they have recently. but certainly a kind of commitment with dates or a roadmap to full membership, that was certainly something they were still expecting here. and it does sound good by now. like you there any waiting to talk about membership once the fighting is over, is of the real fear here in ukraine, that once the rocket stopped pulling on kia, philips countries who may be most skeptical about ukraine's membership will then come out and try and frank,

this out for as low as possible to avoid any firm commitments and maybe just keep it at the level of some kind of israel style security relationship where there's no commitment to actually fight for ukraine. you told people here in ukraine, they say this is not a risk. bringing cranes they to will actually decrease the risk of any contact with russia, leaving that i'm the gets you to the leaving that kind of openness allows flooded approaches to tell his people in moscow that the west isn't really fully. can we see frame that, and you present in the white house or a new economic crisis say in europe with district the west from ukraine would allow him to actually achieve his goal is here in this country that by actually making that commitment, that would actually put rusher off the good, it would make clear that basically ukraine is off limits. so there's certainly a lot of lobbying. so going on from the finance side. and our real fear here that, you know, as seen from ukraine perspective, is going to be a kind of, lots of nerve on the western part, that full of rushes fatalism about the field. there is still that residual fear of versus power to escalate. nick zalinski also spoke about progress and the training counter offensive. tell us more about that what they have being as

cheap, but it's certainly over a 100 square kilometer charge has been re game, especially in the past months. but the russians have had a lot of time to pay for this account defense old through last winter. they were digging in putting mine fields in preparing for this, that setting, you know, as fast as the kind of progress we saw last year. and part of that is also technology drones. india means that there is no real chance for any kind of surprise tactics. we went to see some joint operators in don't yet screeching. let's have a look at what they were. i would say one summer, rain storm life and this amazing became trenches, looks a lot like level one that is until you turn the corner. we're in a forward come on to point just a few 100 meters behind the front line, ukrainian positions. soldiers here. you guys in the sky to coordinate artillery and infantry, but then not the only ones, the depth along the sea can there so many drones now that nothing goes on seem to

keep on both sides. any movement, any attacks are going to be noticed, encountered for you. am i to add it to be able to be mostly on this? and it's possible that we have the advantage in some areas. but it's definitely wrong to underestimate your enemy, endorsing a particular goal. so we just heard a warning signal over the course of things that that means that there is russian drug or if i had the just trying to work out if this is a drawing that is about to coordinate not to read tackle positions that we all here whether it just happens to be flying through the space of alliance, kind of high tech fields, the space don't do, you know, nearly warning system you credit and so just have learned to rely on the problem. the last time we come across, you don't came all we. none of the soldiers heard it best, especially, but the dog coded the dog around for come out in the french. and the boys are like

something was up like this is a dog that never normally hides and does auto renew. but that time he run. but since our boys managed to get to safety and the grown came down without injuring anybody. well, that dog who bites everyone, you've got the balls and save their lives with you and he's called is going to have to go to you. step away from all the screens. you are like this control room is just a shipping container buried in a trench will be at one with satellite internet connection around the clock power from a generate to the you know, yeah. and yet, he's man and watching in real time is you create, you know, tennessee guided by that drones takes aim, rushing on with vehicles, many kilometers away. oh, 1st of all, do you see michelle came in nearby just behind them to the left. so they're turning

around to get away. it was really close. we almost got them with so many drawings and this guy, keeping anything on the battlefield, a secret to become almost impossible. any progress there is the slope and painstaking. and we're back with an economy and tape. so nick, i mean we, we saw it, there technology is really changing the way that this world spot is an i will certainly, and it's not just the expensive uh, minute tree drones that all custom made. there are lots and lots of commercially available drones that are adapted either to watch the enemy positions or to drop the grenades or other improvised devices. and it's also about coordinating over different parts of the military, so that in real time, everyone knows what's going on. the alternate read the infantry. everyone is on the same page and it just means that it is much, much boston is much less in the way of lack time, but they're also very old fashioned weapons. and now coming back in to use as being

a lot of controversy in recent days about the us didn't to send cluster bombs. the russians have been using them all through this for the pregnancy to a lesser extent, especially whether those dug in russian positions with lots of defensive kind of features, look very deep that lots of different minds to protect those positions of loves, the ministry, people, we were speaking to were saying that alongside this high tech stuff, it's going to need plus the bottoms of things as kind of brutal in that forces that to allow ukraine to break through those russian defensive to really make progress and economy of kids. thank you. and before biden joins the nato summit tomorrow in vilnius, he will meet today with british prime minister wishes to nack for bilateral talks a spring and buried at mass who is covering that from downing street. so favorite. tell us what is expected from bite and says that president biden's. yeah. the invitation of king charles. he's going to be later on meeting the king and wins. uh, with a big ceremony. you would expect that for the president of the king. now he's going

to talk with charles about climate finance with other entrepreneurs and philanthropist, and this meeting with a prime minister student in the way it's a bit squeezed in before the actual event with king charles lights wrong. but we know that those 2 have a lot to discuss as well. and as you've mentioned, that was the native summit coming up. both of them will be attending the summit. so things like ukraine's positive and she will need to membership sweden's bid for membership. this will presumably be on the agenda windows to meet and a couple of hours time. and soon, cuz discourage the us decision to set a cluster mon munitions to ukraine. how is this likely to play out? is, is their attention in the year to the brits, particularly pride themselves on having the special relationship with the united states and they're all very strong. trans atlantic ties. president biden and prime

minister soon ago. we think today for the 5th time and of 5 months. so there is a constant communication between the 2 of them. however, the special relationship is not without its problems and we know that the class, the munition question is one of them. president biden has said over the weekend that it was an very difficult decision decision for him, but he has taken it and he thinks that ukraine needs that munition, that, as nick explained earlier, is particularly dangerous for civilians. prime minister, soon of, on the other hand, said over the weekend, that's he, this coverage is the use of this. i munition in the, the u. k is also by invited international treaty that spends class, the munition. that's the treaty that the us hasn't signed. so this is one area where there are some differences in the special relationship. the other is ukraine's past, and that, and they to membership, president biden has said that the ukraine is not ready in the middle of who. the u . k is reported to own something a bit stronger. they want some clear

a path to eventual membership of ukraine. maybe some sort of short cuts. so i'm sure that this will also be discussed when they meet briefly. so yes, it's a special relationship, bought the presidents and the prime minister differences, me know, so that some in the british press and the more rights being conservative, british press are saying that the president by this actually and t british. so yes, special relationship, but also yes, pickups, peer mass and london. thank you. stairs. some other headlines making news. the un says that the sudan is on the brink of a full scale civil war that could be stabilize the entire region. witnesses report more air strikes and machine gun battles a day after an air strike killed. 22 civilians in the city of on dorm on egypt is due to host de escalation talks for sudan, beginning on thursday. at least one person has died and authorities have urged

a $1000000.00 people in india hopping affected and many thousands displeased. 6 people including 3 children, have been killed in an attack of kindergarten and southeastern china police. and the city of leon chung and china is going dong province have arrested a 25 year old man. suspected of carrying out a knife attack official say that one teacher and 2 parents were also among the dead . fire arms are banned in china, but the country has seen several incidents of mass stabbings and recent years. let's go straight now to journalists, probably encroachment in beijing savvy. and what more can you tell us about this attacks? it was a tech happened this morning local time in the southern province of long don't. and 6 persons have been killed among them, both adults and children. and we know that the a tech a, the suspected a tech has of $25.00. the old man who has already been detained as for other

details, it's really very difficult at this point to um, independently verify them because the police will not talk to media. they only refer to the official and you send out by the government owned and use agency st. juan and any independent reporting local, local media has been sent to it. so the censorship is quite a strong. why also? because it's a very emotional topic here, it's on social media. this was the number one discussed issue today. and many users have been calling for death, a sentence for the suspected a tech a. and while actually i'm a gun loss. and also public security is very strict and those incidents do not happen very often, but sometimes they do. and many schools in recent years have um for example, we acted by installing gates and fences and um, yeah, the security gates and sometimes even security personal in front of schools and kindergartens, which also make sure that no, i'm an authorized person. a people including parents will not enter the premises.

so it's really a very big topic. and um, yeah, we have to wait for more official confirmation about the details in a possible also intentions. why um this tragic accident happened. those tragic cutting had been customer envisioning. thank you. the intent is day 7 of wimbledon soft, plenty of action, and also once more politics played a role at the all england club after russian and bella roosting players were banned last year. they're back now, but ongoing tension surrounding handshakes with ukrainian players resurfaced. as 2 players respectfully handled, the issue in the women signals for a week and a wimbledon, the competition, and whether our hosting up top women's play iga should be on take struggle to win the game spill in dimensions. the world number one saved too much points in a close run contest on center court. it's the 1st time to publish play. it has made

it past the 4th round at wimbledon. the next time the strength remaining play is jessica peculiar. the world number 4 has now completed the full set of grand slam singles quotes of finals. often nothing else. ukraine's method suit income. thoughts compatriots elena spits, alina caps, ukrainian title hopes to live in a match that swung back and forth over 3 sets and ended in a tight tie break. she came out on top, the weld numbers, 76 beats bella, rushing to victoria, as i think. and once more declined to friendship from her opponents, holding on tournaments organizes to release his statements to stave off the questioning until um, russian troops out of the crime and we come when we take a back our 3rd, there's not gonna say tons. so i have clear statements,

so i don't know how locally i, i can be, you know, how's that income also seems tired of the debate of to being booed by the crowd. the, what, what can i say about the grow? well, there is nothing to say. she, she doesn't want to shake hands with russian ball or russian people and i respected her decision. i did what, what, what should i have done? stayed and waited. like, i mean it's is there's, there's no thing that i could do that that would have been right. so i just did what i thought was respectful towards her decision for suite to the end of the journey. as i'm seated on the dog continues into the cold of finals, perhaps with fewer questions, but a tough task in the form of opponents because to be on to and russian man had a sunday to remember being time at the all england club under

a boob level was one of 2 to make the last 8 on sunday. the 25 year old $1.00 and $5.00 dramatic sets and played one of the shots of the tournament to bring up match point and have a look. the his opponent, alexander blake, was left down. the crowd were on their feet after more than 12 or less had a spot in the quarter finals. now the world premiere of oscar nominated writer and director credit of care of its field. barbie has been held in los angeles, the warner brothers barbie is starring oscar nominees. margot robbie in the title role and ryan gosling as can. the plot revolves around barbie and kind of having the time of their lives in the perfect world of barby land. but when they go to the

real world, they discovered the joys in the perils of living among humans. barbie will be released worldwide later this month. to like the w scott rockford joins us for more a scott, it's taking more than 6 decades to get a live action. barbie on the big screen. how were the reactions after this premier? uh yeah, well uh, i guess i should call the the song, you know, it's a barbie world. life is plastic and it's fantastic. i mean, the, the sponsors movies been overpoweringly positive. and as we said, there's been a lot of anticipation because it's taking decades to get a barbie a to the screen of it's interesting because this is a really, we're a type of beast. it's a big deal movie directed by when we get rid of here we, that is really part of the main female audience. and that's very, very rare. and this number's going up against very, sort of big studio movies that are for the boys, more or less up. don't like us for nolan's oppenheimer but the prater be public

bomb or new deanna jones and mission impossible movies to allow people to look into this film to see. and it can really draw a big audience. some people called calling this new confrontation at the box office, barbara climber, accommodations, in bourbon, and oppenheimer to see who can come. and if i had put money on it, it would be on the, on the page where you to go. so apparently you thought the film was pretty great. what did tell us more about your impressions as? yeah i'm, i'm, i'm bound by a spoiler of alerts because the film comes out later this month. so i can't give you the great details of the plot. but yeah, i really, really enjoyed it. this. the bill itself basically moves between barbie lane, which is this sort of paradise of positivity and, and diversity. and who's into the real world where barbie's and can learn about the problems of capitalism and gender politics. so it gets a bit of a satire, a bit of sort of a heart warming story as well. and it's like a discussion and controversy around markets and herself because of course,

the toys seen by some is aspirational. you know, because as the woman who can be anything, she's a doctor, she's a model is an astronaut. i'm but for many barbie is sort of unrealistic. and, and very ginger specific, a depiction of that is quite harmful for young girls in the field, tries to balance those 2 perspectives. i'm, i think it doesn't quite well remind me a lot of the legal issue number, the legal booby, which is also a toy brand. um and it looks sort of a satire depict sort of a satire of how people see the brand. but at the same time, okay, images to also be a replacement for the product itself and like that movie, this bill is probably gonna end up selling a $1000000.00. and scott, it's called little, it's cost political controversy, believe it or not, leading to a ban in vietnam. tell us a little bit more about that. so yeah, this is kind of a bizarre story of yes, mom has band barbara movies apparently because of the one scene in the film. it shows a mass that apparently depicts of the 9 dash line, which is a depiction of,

of the south china sea that shows china is sovereignty over it, which is hugely controversial. and many countries in asia very much opposed. that depiction of the studio itself, warner brothers has said, there's not nothing political the map and it's just a child strolling. but this has become a real political. all in other countries in the region are also threatening to band the barbie movie. because of this barber yourself, of course, has not yet made a statement, so we don't know her position of a chinese opportunity over this. i'm trying to see the scar roxborough. thank you. so if you're one of those people who feel like the world is moving in an ever faster pace, this might be a spectator sport for you. more than $200.00 racers lugging it out at the annual world smell racing championships that took place in a small village in eastern england. it was to say there was no need for a photo finish. it's the grand prix of snail racing.
