the, the business, the w news lied from berlin. turkey dropped his opposition to sweden's nato bed. in a surprise breakthrough turkish president, wretch of type air to one at last to freeze to fax, sweden's membership of the military alliance. after blocking the application stock home made over a year ago, the news comes just as nato summit gets under way in lithuania. also coming up

ukraine's a to join nato is unlikely to be met quite so soon, but it hopes to get a roadmap to membership at the summit. others and the alliance worry that could provoke vladimir poor, devastating floods, unusually heavy rain, causing thousands of death to us. a huge waste of northern india, and bring destruction and misery and their way. plus a former migraine guard by his experience goes back to spanish all to encourage young people to stay and build a kind of life for themselves at home. the i'm sarah kelly, welcome to the program. sweden is on the verge of joining nato after turkey suddenly dropped its opposition to stock. holmes bid to enter the alliance to as

president wretch of ty, bear to wand has agreed to forward the application to his parliament, to be ratified swedish prime minister. and the us president have welcome the decision. the surprise announcement came shortly before the start of nato's annual summit and the lithuanian capital vilnius. the native, somebody didn't vilnius hasn't even started yet, but it's already shaping up to be historic. to our case president edwin nato secretary general stole some book and sweden's prime minister, kristen ho talks ahead of the summits and afterwards, the swedish prime minister was clearly pleased. you're a veteran gone. guess i am very happy that the 3 of us have shaken hands. the president of turkey, the secretary general of nato, and myself. on this joint declaration, you may have somebody and we are now taking a very big step towards the official ratification of sweden's membership in a tow. it has been a very good day for sweden about them, but all dogs,

us out of you, sweden have been neutral for decades, but following rough as invasion of ukraine, but nobody country applied to join the military alliance. now the deal seems almost done to complete things. reasons, accession tonight though is uninstalled except the benefits, the security of all nathan laws. at this critical time khaki, however, had been reluctant to accept sweden's bid after stucco and refused to expedite. took his citizens. but on correct, consider this terrorist. and the last minute twisted, edwin graced eyebrows when he also said she would only support sweet and succession if the you presume membership talks with this country. and another issue that sparks anger into okay. the burning of the koran during a protest and still come in

though he wouldn't nato members have to approve sweden succession to the alliance. hungary still has to give its approval, but it's probably been postponed diversification both before it's summer break. so is the path now clear for sweden to join, nato dw, his band trigger has more from build. this to grow hungry is the last hurdle that the swedes have to take. and it's not clear yet when they hungry and taught them in the boat and rectify it. and the swedish membership bit, and you never know because the prime minister victor all bundled somewhat of a loose cannon and they to and also in the european union. he has very close ties still to russia. he's criticizing the weapon delivery to ukraine. he's also criticizing the, the sanctions against russia. so you don't know, it has also some issues with sweden because reading is criticizing all buns, records bad records, and it comes to the rule of law and democratic values. so we haven't heard from

victoria on yet, but the, the secretary general of nato, again, stalking back was quite optimistic that the hunger reboot now dropped its opposition and, and boast, turkey and hungry vote, a boat on sweden and so that sweden can join actually at some point in default. what are the top things meantime on the agenda during the to day nato summit. after this reading drama is now resolved, the, the summit will focus on ukraine, ukraine's also asking for membership to become the 33rd member of nato because or ukraine attack by russia is seeking more protection and more help from they do about the, the summit of only deliver some particular assurances for the presidency. lensky who will come here to vineyards in the past to membership is to very much down the

road because all the members agree that the country during a war cannot join they to. and the other big topic is actually the defense of nature itself. they want to deter russia by drawing up the 1st comprehensive defense plan off the and the end of the cold war. and this defense then has actually literally 2000 pages. it's top secret and it describes how to move around $500000.00 troops at nato in a territory to the eastern fling. in the case of our version at tech. but you have to keep in mind that these troops are still on the troops on paper. they are not there yet, and they do has to boost that to beef up and its troops. and also it's beth and right in europe to be able to defend itself against a possible russian attack. battery guard in vilnius. thank you. and one country,

which certainly wants to follow right behind sweden into nato is ukraine, but that prospect is significantly tough or given that it's a country at war. despite that, ukraine is calling for the alliance to show it a clear, more unequivocal path to membership. so what assurances kind of expect to hear us in need of some of the beginning today? because more from brussels, since rushes full scale invasion last year, ukraine step you to prime minister all housed if a nation now has been making curricular trips to brussels. love being cards to convince officials here to give her country a pos, to what's natal membership. and literally comment to you from the country and the war was to my children remaining into while i'm here in brussels, we're are started again by advocating for the moment. this decision shall be taken and this will not them is now ukraine says it's already fighting with all kinds of wisdom made to weapons. and they have proven themselves as the 1st line of defense

for europe. and they have been waiting for natal store to open for many years in 2008 doing their summit in bucharest, romania, nato leader. as promised ukraine would become a member of the alliance. but they stopped short of saying, when and how for fear of provoking russia, and some nato countries, us too cautious among them. germany, let's get plans out into the clear statements from nate to that ukraine, peasants, future inmate too. but it is also clear to all concerned that the admission of a country that is a drawer is simply out of the questions for me to say she's to death life. and here's why need to nations take a collective defense blanche to protect each other in case of an attack. this problem is known as optical 5 for the native funding act is at the heart of the lines. so admitting ukraine could put, need to, into direct conflict with russia, but it's immediate membership is out of the question, why not offer ukraine

a road trip to accession or make clear it comes directly after the war? and it's what's many of ukraine biggest because of pushing for ukraine should be member of the night to allies because it's pro 4 of our come on security and to of course, we need to to be united. so that's why we are open to discussion about the day, so it, in my opinion, and we should present the path so to, to, to reach this goal. but in the meantime, ukraine is fighting a war and this year and no, that's why behind closed doors, the u. s. and some european nations are frantically working on security assurances . they could individually offer, such as providing ukraine with weapons, advanced technology and between those efforts are being closely watched in russia, which has always seen nato's growth as

a threats to its own security. something via lions denies. for the time being there appears to be no alternative to the fighting for ukraine negotiating with russia. now, what do you mean giving up territory and given in to an unjustified clinton patient all hashed? if i knew you should not, is determined to keep pushing. still hoping to see sooner rather than later. ukraine slack raced at the alliance as headquarters in brussels. so, what does this nato summit mean for ukraine? i spoke with d. w. corresponding economy in chief and asked him what would make ukraine happy coming out of the summit and what it wouldn't be realistic to expect. i think sara, that no one here really expects membership during the active phase of this war. i think that was clear and involved, but i think the real concern is, how long does it take once the battlefields have gone quite is ukraine can be solved off with some kind of

a guarantee that don't provide the kind of collective security. and that guarantee of nato troops fighting when you can side, if it is a tax in the future, or is it going to get just kind of promises of training and equipment. so that's the kind of question. how long off the war ends? is it going to be a quick question of a few months as this being the case for sweden and finland, or is it going to be something that takes significantly longer? and i think there's real where you hear that once the kind of active fighting is over, that the kind of solidarity and supports ukraine will die down and it will be easier for these things to be delayed and kind of made lexia. and we still don't even know if one of them is it lensky is going to turn up in vilnius. he's said running into the stomach, but he's not willing to turn up just for the polite kind of handshakes and the photo ups. he's only going to go if he thinks that ukraine's will even get something serious cups. and we have to mention, you know, just to put this on the contacts like the prospect of ukraine joining the alliance came, came up back in 2008, 15 years later. it's now still under discussion. how do ukrainians feel about that neck? or if you look at the social,

a jay about 90 percent of ukraine supports joining nature that isn't significant up on the policy. i think this most recent russian invasion has made it clear once again what risks being neutral, at least on paper or not being allies to significant military blocks has few crime . and she told she great will say that decision was the genuine mistake that was actually provoking russia by making it to the west. wouldn't send up for ukraine fully. they say that cry me a wouldn't have happened if you credit being and nato may say that now letting you create it would actually stop. russ invasion say say that your birthday is may be unpredictable, but not suicidal. that it would actually realize that this is not testable, that ukraine is not part of it serving phones. if the west actually made that step, that actually taking that step is not gonna up the risk of it actually down the risk would make it less likely that russia comes into sort of military intervention in this part of europe. so that's definitely the kind of message from here. there's a real worry that the same countries between germany who courses back in 20 o 8 will make this. this is more difficult this time around to

w corresponding to connolly and keith. thank you. and here's a look now at some other headlines, the protests have a ruptured across the israel after the countries of parliament, the kinetics voted in favor of a controversial bill that limits the powers of the supreme court. demonstrators blocked several roads and major city police have made several arrests. the men won't come into force until 2 more parliament to a boat. journalist and mexico are protesting the killing of colleague, luis martine sanchez. he was a correspondent for a leading mexican newspaper. sanchez was found dead on saturday and the western states of not yet more than 150 journalists have been killed in mexico, in the last 2 decades. sea levels in the antarctic, which record lows in june, according to the us, whether agency, the world's media or logical organization. ice levels of the south pole were 17

percent below the average since records began to last month was the hottest exchange on record in the past. and this is a message to rental rain and south west. japan has hills, at least 2 people on monday, and the total is fair to rise of tens of thousands of residents were told to evacuate their homes. a week of steady rain has caused rivers to burst their banks and sought an earth to collapse in deadly land. slides like here in carts, dozens of people have died in flooding as torrential rain sweep across northern india. the flash floods and land floods destroyed highways across several states. authorities were forced to shut down schools and the capital belly on monday. scientists say that india is seasonal monsoon rains are getting heavier due to climate change. heavy as a normal monsoon rains tend to be s river into a raging torrent. in the north indian states have him on shall per dash. the

rushing water destroyed roads um damage, power lines, communication systems, which time to rescue assets or distribution victim road restoration will take some time. but our priority is to restore electricity and mobile networks so that we can receive information regarding any other stranded people. so we can rescue them, we have a software that was, was not the guys have got them. good scientists say climate change is making them on soon rein, stronger and more unpredictable. thousands of people have died because of the floods across northern india. sally was inundated with the highest rain full in a single day for 40 years, swelling the amino river which runs through the halls of the capital. local media report say thousands of people are already being moved to shelters. as the river reaches dangerous levels. the south west stuff,

but john paused. biggest hospital, a medical college were left wading through the woods. the floods such was say false . they had no time to evacuate the patient's hospital when they get caught on everything. despite being such a big hospital so much water has been said within just 3 to 4 hours of rain. so you can imagine the conditions in other hospital patients are facing problems. they have not been moved yet of what to be of us then. yeah. has health work has tried to pump out the water from the hospital rooms. india is whether agency is full costing more rain in the days to come. we are joined now by the w deli piero teeth. i'm right that to you my, who is reporting from delhi for us, i'm re, to give us a sense of the scale of this flooding sweep. i'm in delhi, which has been very badly affected by these ones who rains up to days of heavy rain

for in the last couple of days have goes huge amount of disruption across the city . many drains overflowed areas was much even in secondary homes of ministers and follow me intelligence. what cabin in volta now there's also been voltage building, which is a big problem, but we've had a beautiful pre right now in the last couple of days, disney scan to liquid rates. i do, i even see a shimmer of sunshine for the 1st time in many days. but this great concern about the river is yellow das, which flows through daily that is flowing above the danger mock. but the worst of the place is effected of the huge states too much for these. the fear of the raging waters that have swept to be houses, ridges, a live store trucks, cars, anything that's to them that we and the other 2 states would have a bad be effected up and job. and hardy, on a bottom,

the inconvenience goes to the people, large tracts to farm land, underwater, opposing did great distress to the people living the how well prepared as india for all of the summer to with these volunteers, desilva unprecedented and became olivia then used to and now we mentioned that debbie had the highest reinforce in for 2 years and he much for the so was defected . states had one months of reinforce in 2 days. so it is quite an unprecedented situation. having said that, of course the parties could have been better prepared. we have the bon students coming to india every year, and you have many people say the party seemed surprised every year. more preparation is need to be made. drainage needs to be improved. infrastructure has to be, but it's up so that there's no scrambling that takes place once the once who's arrived and also in the queue states involved mentor. this would be warning, these are areas which i g o, in ecologically sensitive to much more can needs to be taken. the progress of that

front also has been quite slow, more rain expected in the coming days. what's likely to happen with the additional cost, as has said more rain is expected, the next few days are critical for the huge states, particularly too much for this and its neighboring history to con, it'd be must remember that these areas don't want to be popular with torres and hundreds of stores all stranded them, so they are taking precautions also to precaution. so this also concerned up the flood, which is from the kids are coming down. screen dams are being opened up in some areas to relieve the tension of the water, the, the lower line planes, a cities of states could also be effective like daily. for example, as i mentioned, the young with the, the group agencies of working around the clock getting support from other sort of support from other groups like the army to make sure this minimum loss of people

and infrastructure. i'm richard team in delhi. thank you so much. display now, where are the countries coast guard says it is rescued. 86 african migrants believe to have been stranded at sea for nearly 2 weeks. the rescuer said that 6 female and 80 male passengers were aboard the vessel, but did not list their age. it is believed to be one of 3 refugee boats carrying a total of at least $300.00 people that went missing and racing weeks. or after leaving the west african country of senegal and heading for spain's canary islands now, for migrants from sub saharan africa, the canary islands are considered easier to reach the mainland spain, but the route is notoriously dangerous. our next report, it comes from senegal, where we made a man who almost lost his life attempting the crossing. now he has made it his mission to warn others of the dangers by the sea and almost died at sea on his

migration journey from sending gold to spain. today he's back home in the suburbs of the car, and runs is cool for underprivileged children who vision if the many young people were already on please region. and that was inciting them to take the boat as we did with all the difficulty is the risk that i saw on the boat. i told myself that if by god's grace i return to firm land, i'll do everything to dissuade people from taking this risk. and show them that the reputation you can learn here and succeed here in this country when i see the see the only thing see regular see road from western i forget the spring is not to use in pair realized yet each year, hundreds of young people risk the journey to escape harsh living conditions. in 2021 over 50000 people arrived in spain. most of which by sea. according to the you ends migration agency. more than 1700 migrants from west africa died on the journey
