the, the, this is the, the, the news line from finding the track is the to says he will pay the way for sweden to join night. so if members of the military alliance open the doors for tuffy to join the european union. president, the mindset page comes as nato nate has gather for the annual meeting for the annual meeting in ukraine with in for the annual summit with the warren ukraine,

top of the agenda on his way to the dates or somebody to us present. joe 5 stop soft us dining streets until 655 minutes to reach you sooner just by protest from the u. k. over us shipments of plus to bonus to try to buy them says that relationship is rock solid, at least for a day and a russian. miss aust, dry congress school house in ukraine separation region. the local government says 3 women and one man with kill this i lined up for humanitarian aid. i'm enrolling at pink corporate. so bobby i, one of the, some of those that fuzzy is films makes its debut the feel. okay. welcome to the program, tucking his table the new condition before it will approve swedish membership of nato. as he discovered in the listing range and capitals for the military alliance

is late is summer. it's tough. there's present value of time. oh, the one that he's country could agree to sweet is accession if nato countries were also members of the european union, open the way to to each membership of the e. u. president. the comments came before leaving for the field. this where he's due to meet the swedish prime minister of chris to some later today the to day some it comes as nato counties outage, biggest revamp of defense plans for decades. the secretary general you get installed to bed lights have reminded a news conference about sweden had already met the conditions tech a headset of support to, to key assumptions to become a member of the, the european union. at the same time, we need to remember that will to be agreed in madrid, was a specific list of conditions. so that's a sweet and has to meet to be a full member over the lines. and student has met these to conditions. we don't have any sort, don't have any guarantees,

but of course now we have the momentum of the summit with the need this here we, we used to comment them to ensure as much progress us as possible. well d, w, 's, brussels bureau chief, i just have your phone number it is in vilnius to cover those talks. i asked about the respondents to present, oh, don't inflate these conditions as well. i think it's fair to say that's need to elyse, don't seem to be happy about these new demands between us presidents, nosy, the told us reporters here in billing years. dad. so he, things that the list of demands should be fine. all that he's hoping that there will be no new demands. and we also heard from the german chancellor who have spoken that gans to linking to 2 things, sweden, so need to aspirations and to turkeys you aspirations. and we also have to say that some allies really consider the talk. he's relationship with the lions and

strands x and then a transactional. and of course, the account on the side, on the question, whether you oh, shoot, open a talks with turkey even though 22 members of the alliance are at the same time, members of the european union. but still, those are 2 different institutions. so it reminds us where to case a you application stands at the moment. well, it took, you still candidates the state and they started their accession talks in 2005. but those a talks were put on ice by the european union due to continuing back sliding and reforms and check such important areas. like for instance, the respect for the rule of law or the functioning of democratic institutions in turkey. so to review them, actually, that should be at changes on the ground in turkey. so it's actually up to turkey to

prove that they would be ready to review talks with your opinion. so nato is also going to be looking at ukraine's membership bed was likely to happen that so we will see what they need to as will be able to offer some kind of perspective for ukraine. we know, of course that's the country cannot join the lions as long as the war continues, but they would like to have a signal that, you know, they could join the alliance when the or the war is over like immediately. and there are some signs that allies might be close to agreeing to keep the membership action plan. this is a plan that's a set out all the military and political targets that every county country who wishes to join needs or needs to meet. but that is what's actually the ukrainian for administer was tweeting about that the agreement is there, but nato secretary general has told him back he did and wants to confirm. that's

the thing that's still negotiating. so we will see whether we are going to see that in the final communicate on a quick what about so any of the business as well? because if the piece it'd be somebody comes as nato is new to bring about its biggest rebalance of defense plans. so what's going on there? well, there are, we expect nato and leaders to approve. then you 3 regional defense plants that detail what's needed. so we'll do if there is attack on its territory. and of course it's all about strengthening the eastern fling. something that is crucial for the whole alliance, but especially for instance, for the host of this summit in building is felicia in you. it shows the border and border with russia, the choice of border with the roost, and actually here and billing is in the capital of leasing the annual with just 37 kilometers away from the border in with dealers. i sandra and sandra from nama and

left. you a as well, joe biden is also expected on the night to summit sus, so t with the pressure is probably minutes to richie soon at the us present. stopped over in london for meetings at downing street and then with king charles before traveling on to bill this, the meeting was over, shuddered by the us decision to supply ukraine with cluster bombs, which are widely bound and which the u. k. a poses just by this missed by them set the relationship between the 2 countries remains rock, solid, dw, correspond to book it nice, and this update from london. the big smiles here in downing street, when you, as president biden met with the u. k prime is the re, she's to knock or the header all the short meeting. only about half an hour before the president. then rushed of twins a to meet with king charles. they had 2 together and the us president stress the special relationship. he knows that this is something that the british public ends

with the u. k. prime minister really liked here. he said it was rock solid. but we do know that there are some differences of opinion, namely about ukraine's membership within they to over the weekend. president biden, the said that the credit is not ready in his opinion while they're in the middle of the role. but we also know that the u. k. from and assume not as pushing for something foster, possibly some false strength for ukraine, for eventual nate to membership. so the 2 will have opportunity to discuss the differences because they're both going to go on to the native summit in vilnius, and that starts tomorrow. so get mass london, so you're trying says the russian attack on a residential area of a timing is after region and region has killed 4 people and wounded at 11 others. local ukrainian governors said the attack here to humanitarian a distribution point near the front line. kenning, 3 women on the map. you're trying to shed pictures of the destruction,

which you said was caused by a russian guide. me solve. it struck a school from which residents had been collecting aid. russia denies, deliberately taxing civilians. i correspond to nick connelly and keith told us more . this was in the town voice of which is pretty close. the front lines just south of the regional capital. is that what is it, it's a matter of it doesn't know. so it comes as to the front positions of the credit. the only way a lot of that kind of most intense fighting is going on right now. the scenario is it often comes on the fire, we believe from the emergency services only around there that, that figure in terms of food f might still arise more people's to believe to be under the rubble. and these guided emblems, really all a real issue in this part of the country, especially because they allow russian 5 jet to stay further away from the danger of ukraine's anti aircraft systems and send these very lethal weapons in which are basically an old school gravity boom. with the kids attached with su, wings attach that allows it to glide over quite some distance,

and these are just much heavier weapons, much heavier will have than most of the systems that would normally be used in this situation. so we think on time again, real system casualties. when it comes to a manager in age, most the place you go in that part of the country. they keep the location secret till the last moment because any grouping of people, any kind of crowd that is seen by drones overhead, immediately attract attention. and often it is that kind of attention that kind of attacks. so this is a very, very dangerous situation for students to be, or was that next comely? no, it's been more than a month since you crane long said something much frontage invited counter offensive, but progress has been slow. you kind so i'm just confronting a host of obstacles that have blended. it's advance, including better prepared russian troops and launches on mine fields ukraine launched at the spring offensive in june after months of anticipation. but so far gains have been modest, even president below them here is a lensky, has acknowledged that the counter offensive has been slower than many had hoped. me

see the millions, everything is easy. there are some difficulties because 1st of all, all on his mind that we would like to be making bigger gains. that's smaller than what we want. is case. a look at ukraine's geography helps to explain why. for months the front line has been largely unchanged. it's thought ukrainian forces would try to push through russian lines in the south and east. one of the areas that has seen heavy fighting is around the southern town of or a cave. as satellite imagery show, the land is mostly patchwork fields. and those fields are flat on which poses specific risks for ukrainian forces trying to retake the land. it means having to cross open fields which have been heavily mind and which are exposed to a fire from the air, as well as from russian troops hiding behind the tree lines. and beyond those open

fields, ukrainians are encountering elaborate man made trench defenses that the russian forces had months to build. the defenders also had time to put up so called dragon's teeth to stop tanks. then there is the learning curve of in military experts say russia has picked up from its mistakes earlier in the war, and as adjusted its tactics to the conditions on the battlefield. still, analysts say ukraine's counter offensive is capable of making progress despite the unforgiving terrain. but it will take time let's take a closer look with marina martin, who was the manager on the list of kings college london. welcome back to the w. i'm . is it for all sensible to criticize ukraine's counter offensive as being too slow? oh, good evening. i think it's not fair to make any judgments because the task is as difficult

as it is for the ukrainian armed forces. considering the situation that they are in firstly, um, russia has a mind power advantage. they have the time to prepare these defensive as on the bottom hand, on the other hand, we know that the ukranian armed forces have this political pressure to deliver results. on the other hand, they are lacking the equipment according to generals, loose me who was complaining about the lack of for jewelry shells, as well as other and munitions and armored vehicles as well as the tanks of the air power. so given the conditions that the ukranian armed forces are in, it is perhaps one 5th saves that they're slow, they just being very economical and trying to conserve the western equipment that they have and the forces that they have. and as you watch the progress, um, do you see, can you see a plan? can you see the plan changing as well? now's the tactics have changed. so obviously,

all western equipment on the left for tanks are not being used on that ukraine, on forces and are relying more on surveillance and targeted strikes of high value targets of russian logistical nodes. for example, in command and control centers where they can, using the likes of storage shuttle missiles provided by the u. k. they're also breathing in smaller groups. so the tactics have changed slightly. and i think it's a way to win time, as well as to see where the premiums can potentially get through russian defenses. but perhaps there is a hope that the delivery of f, 16 fighter jets can then reinforce the ukranian possibility of breaking through russian defenses. and so being creating and home forces have 2 stripes the time on until they get the capabilities that they really need. that has been a narrative here in the west, especially after the wagner,

musing and the, and suing chaos. in russia, the russian troops bodily organized, made of effect, criminals and rapists, and yet, the russian defences do seem to be stronger and better organized and many i'm list unexpected or well, i think it's very dangerous to generalize any sort of narrative. and i think the russian forces have learned from their mistakes. and often there are a lot of shortcomings that they have discovered from the very beginning of the so called special no luxury operation. and they have been trying to adapt. they have been trying to remedy those problems. and what we're seeing now is that through certain expands they manage to do so, and they realize that they're much better at the fans than all fans. they're offensive capabilities. we're not as spectacular and right now, after general. so we can to command of the operation. this whole idea of building

defense has started and dr. general garage some of followed down in january and to command. he's a very good staff officer and a good planner and that seems like maybe is a risk organization. but he managed to get them in the right places and to construct those defences to make it as difficult for your brain as possible. understood. so what a cluster bombs really we learned over the weekend, but the us is going to supply you crying with these class to bombs. and the ukraine had been calling full of them. which of course has generated a certain amount of disagreement amongst allies. perhaps you could explain to us why so many countries have bottom them and why ukraine believes they are necessary or well, there is quite the controversial issue from the optical perspective because a cluster bombs. so essentially, they release a certain amount of small bump lists. and these farm bloodsaw time explode,

so the deep, the strike radio is much greater. the problem is that not all these bump lives exploded on release, and there was, that's called deduct rate. so it's that that rate is off and that 2 percent that is dangerous because that can harm civilian since those areas who come come across those little bump the legs. and so many countries signed a convention. so both the international red cross has been criticizing the use of these, munitions, and, and the united nations. however, there is a convention on banding these yet the united states is not a secondary party to that convention. therefore, legally speaking, they, they, they can explore it souls cluster munitions to ukraine and, and ukraine wants to use them against russian for the vacations so that those are not used in any civilian areas. so that, that is a justification. however,

it raises a lot of ethical concerns. what might follow after that? thank you so much for outlining. what about some community for us? i ministry on this, marina mano from king's college, atlanta. thank you for having me. out of your own security council is to vote shortly on extending the delivery of humanitarian aid to serious survival. have no faced 4000000 people live in italy, province. many were forced to free that homes during a serious a 12 year a civil war. and now they've in camps the delivery of a it increased significantly after the last year is devastating, earthquake ravaged, the region is a deliveries and every day just stopping unless be when to show it to the castle. kind of agree on expanding the mandate. in february he lost his home. his house collapsed during the earth quick, but things could be worse. his family survived without harm. and now the 10 of them

lived in attend. non his wife and their 8 children. they get groceries once in a while from agencies, the one the given them, well they bring us water and help with it can sometimes we even get $150.00 cash so far and with gods help. we have been able to survive. oh, i see him though. we visit attempt camp in the province. hundreds of thousands of syrians live here, even though it's been 5 months since the earthquake, they are still waiting for their city to be rebuilt. money is almost always in short supply, but one thing is going well. an aide organization associated with turkey is building them new sanitary facilities. we're on the brink of a mass of humanitarian catastrophe. a war has been raging for 12 years and the people's suffering from the earthquake are the same ones that lead to war. their needs are immense, literally mean that says that he and the people living in the area surrounding it live are cut off from the rest of syria. is luminous,

rebels controlled the region. humanitarian aid comes almost exclusively from turkey . but the un resolution allowing a to be delivered over the bubble. her a border crossing is running out. we do need to extend this resolution for 12 months because we need a time to implement the management program. their faith will be decided on monday by the security council. it depends on the veto power of russia. a close ally of the syrian president, bashar assad, odd non shocker, and his family are waiting along with other survivors across the shattered corner of syria. is looking at the small stores making headlines around the world will starting as becky's down when i present a chef cut a mid so your f is one of the tub and i'm election described by international observances lacking genuine competition. but so you only have one, the 87 percent of both recent constitutional reform allowed him to panic gain and

extend the presidential term to 7 years. there's been a prominent arrangement. ralph has been sentenced to 6 years in the presence of voicing support from last year's protests against the regime too much so that he could have been sentenced to death under the charges brought against him. hundreds of people died and thousands were arrested. after the death of martha, how many last sunday spoke to mass protest, i, 6 people have been killed and one wounded. an attack attacked kindergarten in china as glendon province. the official site. the victims include a teacher to parents and 3 children. police in the city of land. yeah. have arrested a man suspected of being the attack, a quote from us lawmakers, according for an investigation into prime match the popular energy drink. and they argue that it's high levels of coughing and dangerous for its target market of children. drinks best buy youtube styles, logan pool, and the cas site,

and has become an obsession. amongst beth follows the world premiere oscar nominated rice and direct a graphic guy rigs. film bobby has been held was held on sunday in los angeles, on the pink taffeta for the warner brothers, that live action movie with oscar nominees, marco robbie in the title role. ryan gosling as can. the plot revolves around bobby and ken, having the time of their lives in the perfect world, bobby land. but when they enter the real world, they discover the joys and perils of living amongst humans. at bobby's worldwide release is later this month, a kind of homestead from that dw culture can tell us more. we know all about the pedals i've been doing amongst humans living. i wouldn't have them in the house. no, this has to be one of the most. i suspected that movies of the some of the buzz around it has been in all of us, but the answer was why a movie about as a toy, as attracting so much attention. i think 1st of all feel simply because it's taking

over 6 decades or about 64 years to get a live action barbie onto the big screen. she's been around since 1959. and since then natal i think has sold over a 1000000000 barbie dolls. so she's a cultural icon to say the least really globally recognize done with kind of course, the most profitable brand. so there's a huge following, and a lot of people interested, but she's also a controversial figure. and has, you know, repeatedly over the years aroused concern and the right, really long legs, feminist 5 minutes grew. it's, you know, is thinking that she's obviously a dangerous role model for little girl, super skinny, the brown skin, obviously, very white, absolute affluent. and, and there are concerns, of course, that she has a negative effect on young girls self esteem. so mattel's has responded to all of those criticisms over the years, you know, and one by one and making barbie more and more inclusive and diverse, the 1st black barbie appeared in 1968. and in the meantime, you know,

she has absolutely every profession under the sign you can get her in every condition. i mean, there's a barby with, with vitiligo, there's a barbie with, with the prosthetic. so some have then, you know, kind of countered that argument with the fact that she can be a symbol of empowerment. and so there's that entire background. and then of course, there's the fact that great a girl which as the director, you know, great a girl, we who wrote it together with her partner know about buffy. very rarely take a completely conventional approach to story telling. so it was very hard to imagine someone like or with, with all of that pink. and yet i think she has made sure that the film doesn't skirt so is contracted with us. so what, what do we have them from the, from the premier and this is from a how do you think this one will do? so i think that they've managed to keep a good balance do sort of this type of block of, of, of taking the bubble gum perfect cliche, but also poke fun. that it, that was

a condition of their, of their actually working together under week and model robbie, the act, the lead actress and producer. and so that they're, they're able to kind of serve uh, you know, create a, a bit of a satire, but the consumerism. they probably buy presents, but also serves the icon that she is. so something, something for fans. and for critics, there's also a bit of a bottle of the box office was predicted for the day of release, which is of course on the 21st. and it will come out on the same day as christopher nolan's oppenheimer, which is about the physicist who of course helped to develop nuclear weapons, 2 directors of and not equal clouds, but comfortably a cooler. i mean all, but she already overlap there. it's going to be very interesting. i'm going for the girls. one for the boys will see that. i think if you go with the summer, feel good factor and, and the fact that there is a lot of comedy and barbie people, a lot of people are taping for the one that's pretty in pink. okay. and remote control obviously as well. um, not just about the feminism,

but about geo politics. yeah, amazingly, i'm that, that was certainly very unexpected. that even before the premier vietnam announced, of course that it was going to band the film based on the basis of one scene. that features a maps that they find defensive. so it, it shows a, a so called the so called 9 dash line. the represents china is unilateral claims on south china sea, so its version of its extent of its territory. but a number of countries in the age, of course, emily opposed that line and say that it's illegal, enter it under international law, warner brothers, of course, as that they meant no sense that this is just a child's crayon drawing. but some of course have taken a little bit further interpreting this as of yet another case of, of the appeasement of, of why not. and one of the, one of the largest markets. so the jury is to load on that. but the philippines are also unhappy. so we may hear more so that counting homes that from d w culture such a. this is one of our top story,

this our to august president magic type one says these country could agree to that . to sweden, join nato. european union resumes its store membership tools with entre maybe offer all these weights and if you maintenance which is hosting and they to alliances annual summit this week, i have to say that because the people power revolution that they don't even use agent looks at where the company is having not seen just a moment, please visit our strategy. i'll be back at the tone. the

. is it a matter of challenge? or can everyone the, are the self motivated or do they need a lot of outside pressure? musical prodigies. what does the rest of their life look like? we asked geniuses,

big and small spurts and the parents arts unveiled in 2 hours on d. w. these places in europe are smashing the record step into a venture. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of us record breaking site on google back to and now also in book form can use. yeah, we are all set we are watching to most all the to bring you the story behind the news. we own about on volume information for free. might say, due to me in the

basics, the, the newest aisha coming up to date, she long cause never, i'm going crisis or yeah, since protest is forced to change and government really political change remains conducive. and poverty it has only increased. what did she learn? cause people followed revenue from the chief and way is the country headed plus.
