Nato summit: Biden welcomes leaders, insists Ukraine will prevail

Zelenskiy vows to fight to strengthen Ukrainian air defences

US President Joe Biden says the Western defence alliance Nato is more powerful than ever as Nato leaders meet in Washington. But how far will it go to confront Russia over Ukraine? What does Nato need to do to guarantee victory for Ukraine? We are joined by Kristine Berzina, managing director of GMF Geostrategy North in Washington DC.

What about President Biden's own political future? His party met to discuss this following the president's disastrous debate showing. So did they reach a consensus?

Also in this hour, we speak to the second in command of the West African regional body ECOWAS after Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger decide to leave the organisation. Damtien Tchintchibidja, vice president of the ECOWAS Commission, tells us the group faces an existential threat.
