the, the, this is the w news live from the ukraine, cools a un security council emergency main thing off for a missile strike on the 18th children's hospital sparks, international condemnation un says it's highly likely it was a russian strike. the kremlin is denying responsibility. also coming up on the program, indian prime minister in the rendered moody tells the russian presidents, the murder of innocent children is unbearable and the war cannot solve problems. the red hence of condemnation comes of the nice thing in moscow aimed at

strengthening the 2 countries. punishing nato who heads the space a gathering in washington for a summit with rushes. invasion of ukraine high on the agenda, but the focus is expected to be on maintaining keeps on supplies and notes on ukraine's membership aspirations. the money keeps mckinnon. welcome to the program. the un security council is holding an emergency meeting in response to a missile strike on ukraine's biggest children's hospital. russian diplomats have denied responsibility for the last and keys which came during the largest wave of russian attacks against ukrainian cities in months. at least 37 people have been killed across the country since then. that means separately the drone attacks in the south west of russia images on social media show russian oil and energy sites

in flames. now the kremlin says the children's hospital in cave was hit by fragments of a ukrainian ad defense missile. but the un assessment says it was likely struck by a russian missile. i also military on less marina moran from kings college london. so heavy good day on. yeah, it is to some to tell what exactly happened that i think that what is required is an international investigation team that's impartial in order to be able to determine in order to be able to look at the destruction, to look at the fragments, to look at the people who were around the facility to interview them. so i think there is no simple answer to that. and of course, be accountable person should be home because we're talking about russia and ukraine . so state actors, but we need to much deeper than that,

who in the chain of command was responsible for, for that strike, who gives the, or the, or was it based on false intelligence? so i, i think that it's much more complicated than it appears to be up and in the 1st place. and i believe either way, the international community has the responsibility to ensure that there is proper protection for civilians in any one case on an investigation still needed. but obviously, the damage is huge. what does this tell us about ukraine's defense systems as well? this is problematic because they've creating inside the belief that they have sufficient air defenses in order to protect the key of and that shelves. a huge move or ability gap when it comes to protecting the capital. meaning that president is a landscape might be requesting more of an area defense batteries from the to specifically because of the summit is not about to take place. so i think natal

leaders will have to think about how to better support ukraine, at least when it comes to the short term, given the fact that the russians still have enough capabilities to conduct the loan race strikes and will certainly use this gap in error. that's kansas in order to destroy different targets, including those located in the cities, including the capitol. speaking of the nice i summit that is coming up in washington. how significant is the timing of this attack coming up a coming just before the nice face on this as well? i think it's pretty significant from what it looks like so. right, right now the international community is condemning russia, as i said, investigation that should be conducted in order to find out what happens. but as it seems,

the national leaders will probably want to support key morrison. they have specifically because this made assignment is supposed to discuss what is going to happen with ukraine and prepare for the possibility of the whole from winning the u . s. selections, which would be a huge blow for me to and a possible blow to ukraine as well. so they might be looking at delivering more of flashing, more a to you before the us presidential elections. and i think the strikes play in, in, into the whole picture that showing that you crane cannot withstand the russian attacks without outside support. and that support is needed urgently. ministry analysts, marina moran from kings college london. marina, thank you. thank you for having me now, just hours off to that russian missile garage was launched,

india is prime minister and the render moody arrived in moscow. so talks with the russian presidents, he told me to have them if susan, the india is economy, had benefitted from its strategic partnership with russia. but he also talked about the role in ukraine, saying the piece was quotes of the utmost importance. and that who will kind of solve problems is more of what moody has to say to excellence war struggles or terror attacks. every person who believes in humanity feels the pain. when there's a loss of lives, a john? no, he would be here. and even there, when innocent children are murdered mas one sees some die hard pains, and that pain is unbearable. and there was

a discussion in this context as well. we can get more from the w correspondent and melisha lynn, who joins us now from rigor in latvia because russian 1st is closed d. w. 's bureau in moscow. and emily isn't surprising that moody bruce out this lots of life in the world and ukraine with pollution. i think modi's statement shows the awkward position that he is in with his visit to moscow today. because he's trying to keep both the west on side and also demonstrate his closeness to rush. i think that statement was kind of purposely vague. he condemns the attack, but without actually blaming rush or blaming vladimir putin. i think overall though this visit yesterday and today was marked by both sides, really trying to demonstrate how close india and russia really are and how close, moody, and put in are as well. we saw both sides referring to each other as friends. they

hugged twice in the course of this visit for quite a long time. moody talked about trust in that partnership between russia and india, and actually body also received today an award for his special services in a deepening the bilateral relations between the 2 countries. you know, special ceremony and even yesterday, during talks unofficial talks at a pretend, residents the to even got the chance to pot putin's forces. so, you know, a pretty personal visit and a nice optics for both sides, which is especially important because economics, economic relations between the 2 sides have been deepening, especially since the ukraine war started with russia selling a lot of the oil that western countries have stopped buying since sanctions hit after that war began after the invasion of ukraine, india has been buying that oil. so you know, for boots in moody is

a very important partner economically as well. the west, of course, has tried to isolate russia over the war. yet as you've been saying, the all 6 of this kind of me thing is important to person. but what about any concrete results? like what is actually concretely coming out of these discussions between the indian and the russian leaders as well. there wasn't actually a press conference held after um, this meeting. so we didn't get much of much of a hint of what concrete decisions were actually taken before the summit. there was some talk from observers about potentially india trying to get further discounts on oil and perhaps a deepening of nuclear cooperation on nuclear energy in particularly, but we didn't really hear anything. the only thing that we did find out is that moody will be coming to the break summit in russia and last week,

letting me are put in called that summit, part of one of the main pillars of what he sees as a new world order, a multi polar or world order, where the west is becoming less and less relevant. so again, kind of the optics there of mentioning that break summit and, and showing the importance of those ties between the 2 leaders emulate. thank you. most the don't use emily fell and reporting from rica now supplying ukraine was what it needs to fly. so for russia's invasion will be tough of the agenda of the night to summit is getting underway in washington today. outwardly, nato continues to display a united front and its support for teeth, but in many member countries, public opinion is divided and well, nato has been dangling the prospect of ukrainian membership for years. the focus of this year's summit is on maintaining the countries on supply. nato

countries have said those support ukraine as long as it takes in a fight against russian aggression, which nato has described as an existential threat. a russian president vladimir putin for his part sees nato's eastward expansion to his country's borders as a justification for his war on ukraine. following moscow's 1st illegal land grab of crimea in 2014, keeps thought to join the western military alliance for greater protection. nato countries. i've said ukraine will eventually become a member. but last year, somebody in vilnius, the alliance refused to commit to a timeline, a huge disappointment for president below them. here's a landscape and by looking at the central camera this year, the alliance is trying to better manage expectations for keith. the focus is on what's being called building a bridge to the future. we will agree to work more closely with the read the ukrainian armed forces including us and you need to create a joint analysis,

training and education center in poland. we will also work together to build that ukraine's defense industry. a deep and all cooperation on innovation. all the work we are doing together is making ukraine stronger, more in through approval. i'm better prepared, but ever to join our alliance. in the meantime, is a lensky has been securing by lateral defense agreements with a number of individual natal member countries. in may, several european partners pledged more aid, including of 16 fighter jets. ukraine has also asked for more help with an air defenses, including patriot missiles, systems, to keep them with nato membership. not likely in the immediate future. ukraine continues to push for bi lateral assurances, most recently from neighboring poland. one of keeps most vocal allies still is the

lensky hopes for more aid from nato. but it does seem it's time until night. the very concrete answers and steps from our partners at the nato summit. we'll have a meeting dedicated to reinforcing your praise fair defenses to our civilian infrastructure, water supplies, and the energy grid. i expect the concrete steps i'm going to go, okay. our most nato members last week stopped short of backing secretary general young stoughton berg's request just for a multi year funding package for ukraine's on. the recent budget battle in the us. also underscored the limits to leaders official pledges with ukraine 8 increasingly becoming instrumental lives in domestic political battles. for some more analysis, i'm joined now by the w. washington bureau chief in his port and by the deputies correspondent, mtv. net connelly. welcome to you both in this we hubs in our reports about this summer. it's focused on building

a bridge for the future. tell us how nato intends to do that. yeah, right. so there's somebody is taking place in washington where nato was founded 7 to 5 years ago. so this is basically also a big birthday celebration, but of course, the, as in these attendees don't only want to look back. they also want to look into the future. and kind of prepare of what needs to be done to ensure all uh, allies, uh, to be safe uh, with all the threats kind of being out here in this world. you're kind of cool. of course, we'll play a most major role. there will be discussions about the path to a full membership that will be the bates, whether this membership for or this pos to this membership should be your rosabelle or not. and of course, there are also other topics which will be discussed, for example, the threat to china is posing at least in the opinion of the united states and

other member states. so the so called into a pacific strategy will also play a major role here. and i, if i might make a one to recommend our a major documentary, which can be seen on our dw youtube channel, which is getting us a little bit of a deeper insight about this in the pacific strategy. ok, but the focus of course on ukraine. nick given the ongoing for us as he of the will, what is it that ukraine needs most from ne, so right now i'm coming out of this summit. i think 1st of all, he needs nato member countries that are promised a great deal of weapons and munitions to this country to make good on those such as it needs that munitions. yesterday we've been talking about the spacing since the beginning of the war. the ukraine is being outcomes by russia, and we've had the pledging to send a 1000000. i'm

a 3 rounds. we've had to check and just have all these things of the past year. and yet these deliveries are still arriving in the volumes and indigo timeframes permit . so basics have yet to be sorted out when it comes to helping you crank obviously off the back of yesterday's attack on. keep those extraordinary images from the children's clearing. key of a defense is a priority. when you look at the map of what the crane can protect with the systems, it has there basically a few very small circles around cuban some of the other main cities, but vast waves the country left undefended. so the real hope that somebody might bring pledges of more patriot systems more, maybe some teeth systems that can shoot down ballistic missile as well as the cruise missiles are the easier to deal with and then use the invoice. so we heard from present. so let's keep saying that maybe the polar side would think about using polish at defense systems to shoot themselves in west and ukraine that they need to published for that could conceivably find components of the nature of countries like romania which adjoined and in nature as a whole would be okay with them doing that that would basically free up ukraine's

air defenses and give you credit. and it's pretty much kind of safe into learning with me brain that we do a lot to make things easier in terms of its infrastructure to work on unable to search, military and wise. so it plan wishlist that from zelinski and yet no only 2 members agree on how or even whether to support keys. and then we've got november's presidential election in the us, which stars even more on some state of the situation. so in this, how will all of these challenges be addressed at the summit? now this is definitely the big elephant in the room, donald trump here, and what it would mean for nato and the support of the united states. if he would be back in the white house, so, you know, this kind of brings it down to the big crescent of burden sharing. some nato member states, especially eastern europe, the member states a wish that the countries increase, that commitment to us to pay 3 percent of the g. d p, a to,

to nato of it. so that would be an increase of one percent. i don't think that it will happen here, but that's a big question. the burden sharing question, and of course, how europe could create a could kind of a get ready for the, for a possible you as president who might want to withdraw from nato. so it will be a lot about money and then of course, also about we discussed it earlier about the question, how and how fast you've trained could become a full member. nate, give, i can just ask you very briefly. in summary, does keys do the ukrainian people believe that they will get what they need from native, including nathan membership? i think the short term no, but if you look at the big picture of what your credit is able to achieve in terms of you membership in terms of your now having permission to use american weapons against russian territory will be on the border time delhi can savanski and this country that he represents have been able to get more out of weston countries than

anyone adult possible. so i think there was a real hope that this will prove us when the media medium alone get to him. because without that is going to be a real push, trying to convince people to bless this country to come back if there is no hard and fast guarantee that this is the country that is going to be safe and dw use, and it calmly and keep and the w, washington bureau chief in his pool. thank you so much. both of you for your time of the us president joe biden has insisted once again that he intends to stay in the presidential race despite concerns about his mental capacity. he's not received some unexpected support from germany, strong level officials who says, but he's not worried about the american president's mental ability. but some members of binds democratic policy have often to step aside after disastrous debate performance against donald trump last month. but defiant, president biden on the campaign trail, been doing this a long time and i honest to god,

have never been more optimistic about america's future. if we stick together, i really made it around 2 weeks after a poor debate performance sparked calls for him to step aside as the democratic presidential candidate bite and is on a mission to prove. he's still got what it takes, the doubts about his mental and physical health persist. why no recent headlines haven't helped reports in the new york post. and the new york times showed that a specialist on parkinson's disease, a neurological disorder visited the white house 8 times in 8 months. when asked to clarify, spokesperson to read, john pierre got into a heated exchange with the journalists. but the president, i can tell you, has seen and are all just 3 times as it's connected to the uh, to a physical that he gets every year that we provide to the uh, wait, wait, wait, wait times or at least once in regard i just wait hold on

a 2nd. wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, wait a minute. cool. ed. please. little respect here, please. well, i can tell you this just going back to perkins for a little bit. so to give you some answers here, has the president being treated for parking says no, is he being treated for parking since? no, he's not. is he taking medication for parking says no. so those are the things that i can give you, full blown answers on, but i'm not going to don't, i'm not going to confirm a specialist. any specialist that comes to come to comes to the way us out in a statement, the white house position. so the president has not seen a neurologist outside of his annual physical review. and joe biden has shown no symptoms of parkinson's disease. but for many, a diagnosis is not necessary. according to reports, half a dozen top democrats in the house of representatives said in a private phone call on sunday, the biden should drop out and let another candidate face down republican presidential nominees, donald trump in november's election on monday,

biden said that's not happening. he wrote a letter to congressional democrats, claiming she's the man to be donald trump as fighting support fragments. his confidence it seems, is still very much and tact. center button says he is still the democrats. best chance to be donald from pin november. i off, katherine flew the ashbrook, who's the executive vice president of the battles monday. foundation think tank if she agrees as well. i mean, it matters little what this motor thinks about president biden's chances of beating donald trump. what matters is whether the democratic national committee, the party ultimately you have a procedure in place and has a strategy in place, moving into the hot phase of the selection, the pundits. and of course the poles will have you know that he is not the right man. to continue in this role, and i think that's a tricky thing about the polls, which you can discount a lot of times in the american context is that you've take,

if you take pulling over the years now you do see that a moment of trailing at this moment in a campaign smells bad news for whoever is the candidate trailing, and that is clearly the case for joe by now. not just this moment in time, but over time. so the democratic party needs to think about it's party discipline because as we, for just now in your piece, party, political heads are still peeling off and speaking out against the president, while the president is trying to shore up his offline. and that seems to signal weakness within the democratic party infrastructure. and i don't think that fundamentally helps the democrats now as they head into the weeks ahead of well, well my, my likely be if you're difficult, imagine for the democratic party or capturing see the ashbrook from the battles, not foundation speaking to me. any of that, now the european space agencies around 6 real kit is set to find

a space. so the 1st time to the companies from 13 different countries were involved in the rockets construction and development. the launch is taking place at the european spaceport in crew and french guyana. and comes for is lisa then initially planned the harry on 6 is meant to help lead europe space industry out of a crisis. it's designed for those to launch satellites into orbit and make missions to the moon and mars possible. that's why there are 2 versions of the rock in the smaller it has to solve with boosters that can transport lighter payloads into space. it's big brother has 4 and can carry 2 satellites with an upper stage that can be ignited several times. europe's new rocket will be able to launch satellites at different altitudes and carry them to practically 10 of your vet. theory on 6 is meant to provide europe once again with independent access to space

for around a year. now european satellites have had to be put into orbit on us launch vehicles . technical problems have delayed to new rockets several times one. go with the area on 6 is to make space travel more competitive for europe. space has turned into an important gross market. more satellites were launched and the last 4 years alone fit in the 6 proceeding decades. the industry is growing rapidly. by 2030 more than 60000 satellites could be in orbit around the earth. the new rocket is entering a hotly contested market to wide one that's dominated by space cx. the private us company offers commercial satellite launches at oregon prices. space x is also in the lead when it comes to technology, it's rockets are built with stages that can be landed and reused many times,

which concerns resources and reduces costs. in the past year, the falcon 9 space x is workhorse rock. it took off almost $100.00 times to keep up, the launch is of the area on 6 will have to drop in price. there are plans to also develop a reusable stage, introduce innovative production processes, and raise the number of annual launches. 30 orders are all ready on the books. the new rock it is slated to launch for the 2nd time. by the end of this year, a half dozen more launches are planned for 2025, and it's hoped 10 a year. we'll take off by 2027. as a reminder of our top story for you today, the un security council is holding an emergency basing and response to a missile strike on ukraine's biggest children's hospital. let's try came during the largest wave of russian attacks against ukrainian cities in months. at least 37
