[000:00:00;00] the, this is dw use lie from berlin, joe biden, defiance and the face of growing pressure to abandon his re election campaign. do us president tells the world's media, and he's the best qualified person to beat donald trump. alvin says he wants to finish the job in the white house, also coming up the u. s. as the station long range cruise resolves in germany for later in the washington site. the deployment demonstrates their commitment to nato, defending europe. russia is considering a military response,

the problem phone areas. welcome to the program. us president joe biden says he's still running for president telling journalist he can still get the job done. biden appeared at a news conference in washington at the end of nato's 75th anniversary summit. he spoke at length about his achievements in office saying he was the best qualified person to run for president. biden's mental fitness has been under scrutiny since he appeared confused at a debate last month. several top democrats have withdrawn their support for his campaign for re election in november. earlier i asked d. w. washington bureau chief in this poll if he was surprised by how long president biden spoke for. so that's actually really interesting that he answered so many questions because, you know, before the press conference menu said,

always probably only allowing 3 or 4 questions, but no event on for i don't know. 1520 questions. it fed at least a very long time. so those 2 holes that off to this press control rents, it would be clearer if donald trump quite sorry, it's joe biden, would stay in the office or not. they are disappointed. you know, he performed quite okay. he made only like one bigger mistake. calling donald from the vice president, but other than that, you just kind of tried to, to show how much knowledge she gained over his long time in office, in foreign policy, and also his a, kind of his knowledge in economical questions. so overall it was an okay performance, i shall say. okay, well in a, so i've been keeping an eye on what's being said in the u. s. media, i'm sure,

of course you are to, will all of this be enough to silence his critics? you know, politics is all about perceptions, isn't the didn't i followed quite a couple of press conferences and i saw a lot of interactions with joe biden to suppress over the last couple of years. and it was, at least in the beginning of this press conference, a really hostile environment. one could feel the president fight and is really mad about the reporters because of these many, many critical reports coming out lately. i honestly think this will change pretty much nothing. those who think you should run again for presidents will keep doing so, and this critics won't be silenced by this performance tonight. right. well, in a stay with us, because we're gonna come back to you in a moment to talk about the actual nato summit itself. but 1st, as even this has mentioned questions about jo biden's mental fitness or field a. m,

as well earlier at when he introduced the ukranian president using the name of the russian president. and now i want to hand it over to the president ukraine who has as much courage as he has determination page. i'm a president of the big president present list. i'm so focused on the boot and we got to worry about it anyway. his presence on bed, you are a whole lot of things from us. all right, let's go back to washington where dw is bureau cheesy, and his pole is still with us, anus had at that moment to go down at the so must have that other leaders and attendees been commenting on biden's mental fitness. that was of course, a shock and it was right before this highly anticipated press conference, but i think we have to be fair here to buy it and correct it themselves right away

. and that's exactly what, for example, the german chancellor or love shots referred to when he was asked about bad saying, or love shows that many people make mistakes much more than one would think. i just referred to to joe biden as a president. donald trump, you know, people mix up names, i think that's not really the problem here. you do that after a long conference with these hours and hours of meeting and high performance, which joe biden did. it's more of the, the kind of the optim off of this, this is really this, the page which was such a deep thirty's officer and you know, everything is kind of adding onto that. and the big question will be, is a joe bite and really will be able to clear that. and again, with this press conference today, he wasn't able to do that. yes, as i mentioned before at we were going to talk about the actual nato summit itself,

strong support for ukraine at to say the least. and what is being the biggest chief means and success is that joe biden mentioned dentist press conference. yeah, so it's definitely um the fact that ukraine gets a billions and billions of dollars and additional weapons, uh, they will get these badly needed uh, air defense fight and they will good fighter jets and, and the is also a huge accomplishment from the perspective definitely of sa lensky, that they agreed on the irreversible pos to a full membership of ukraine. you know, the kind of piece of salt here is that everybody said that even this, that support ukraine will not be able to counter the or offensive was before the russian offensive before next year. so yes,

they get all the support uh they wanted. but is it still too late? i said this, leave it there. dw, washington, bureau chief is always the pleasure of the united states will begin stationing long range missiles here in germany from 2026, washington and berlin. say the deployment cements their commitment to nato and european defense. the agreement includes tomahawk s, m 6, and hypersonic missiles. the weapons are new care capable and have a range of more than 2000 kilometers. they were banned or under a treaty with russia until the us withdrew from battery the 5 years ago or at the nato so many in washington, german, chancellor or charles, welcome the us decision to station long range themselves in germany. that's i think it's also important the results of this meeting together with the decision to

organize coordination and responding in germany, which i think is really a better step forward altogether. i think it is the right time for right decisions . i believe that's another aspect which is important for me. the united states decided to deploy at the precision strike capabilities in germany, which i think is a very good decision. and it fits into all the decisions we already took. a russian plot to assassinate the boss of a german weapons manufacturer was foiled earlier this year. thanks to us intelligence, that's according to cnn, the broadcaster says, i mean pop the, i got the chief executive of 9 metallic, was among defense industry executives across europe targeted by the kremlin us intelligence services, passed the details of the plan to german authorities, pop back up as being a high profile supporter of ukraine's war effort. and his company has produced

artillery shells and military vehicles for keith our political correspondence, so i'm in young has more detail. we lost a run, but tell the company or whether they could confirm any of the details about this alleged assassination plots. and they told us that the count called they don't companies security matches, but that they are in regular contact with the security services here in germany. and that they take measures as necessary. now it's worth knowing. ryan midtown is one of the biggest european arms manufacturer is a big supply of tanks and artillery munitions to ukraine. in fact, it saves itself, it's the largest maker of voluntary munition in the world. and this company in june just opened a uh, a joint venture with the ukranian state firm to repair. and both of we also build tanks in ukraine. it goes as plans to stop producing uh,

to re munitions in ukraine as well. so this is a company that is significantly involved in the ukranian war effort. so i'm and young now. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. sizes of people has gathered in trevor nita to commemorate the killings of 8, hasn't bosnian muslim man and boys in 1995. it was the worst monster in europe since world war 2 to international courts have rooted with genocide. actor shelly, devout has died at the age of 75. deval made hor, her name in a series of landmark 19 seventies classics, including 7 films with a director, robert altman. she's best known for her role in the shining to file died of complications from diabetes. rio de janeiro has put up in array of colorful statues to raise awareness of the threat to the endangered jack,

president. and most of it people feel that the president had actually do. why did political cronies and they won not having the country in the way they were supposed to so at, you know, not expertise. just last week, the president, i knew that to the fact that some of the company that secretary's lobby of the land team, they had dealings to walk or dropped and they needed to, to do a checkup. so everyone's thoughts, the president was going to add yourself with these cabinets, but people are happy that actually, all those cabinet secretaries have gone home and it will be a new start. as, as a new team comes in the next few weeks, seen eczema ring and their firefighters have put out a blaze in the spire of one cathedral in northern front. 3 workers at the sides, suffered from smoke ventilation. the cathedral is more than 800 years old. i'm was painted by the impressionist cold. i'm on a witness is captured at the moment

a smoke rose from the spire overland medieval cathedral and that's the one that come on if you're not all flu initial or tool we heard via and i got turned around and sold the cathedrals by adventurous the material covering the restoration work was spinning the details that would big flame on the black smoke up of what i mean. this is the 1st thing we thought about was what happened in paris with the not to them fire. the 2019 fire notes are done. cathedral in paris coupled its fire and collapsed its roof. it was on everyone's mind as 40 fire engines with scores of firefighters race to the side of the almost 1000 year old cathedral at some 120 meters above the ground. fire crews located the source of the blaze on a spire undergoing restoration work. but officials have not said how the play

started, firefighters stayed on scene to ensure a new hot spots can re ignite, of damage was assessed. so again, when you're on the table, we're talking about the heritage sites that has a very high volume and some specialized firefighters supporting us when conducting an inventory of outlets. for example, with that could have the water damage from finding the final single day. i do disagree with when that extra food, i think the little beloved cathedral, which was repeatedly painted by impressionist artist clog, monet, remain standing authorities say there is no risk of it collapsing due to the fire. here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. a us president joe biden aside . he's the best qualified person to run for president and can still get the job done. items mental fitness has been under scrutiny since he's appeared confused at a debate last month. several top supporters of urged him to end his re election campaign. all right,
