a day after the collapse of an apartment building in the us. we look at the discovery of bones from a new type of human. it could change evolutionary history as we notes. awe over and divisions within the european union are rising to the surface. as day 2 of a summit begins in brussels, russia is foreign ministry says the use being an aggressive minority after leaders failed to agree on a proposal to hold a summit with president putin, some vote states and voice, their concerns about what they call moscow's aggressions. i say it must change its behavior. this report is from natasha butler. it was clearly going to be attend that you summit improper leaders arrived divided over the blocks relations with russia. the german chancellor and french present won't be you to have to submit

with russia as to building ties that if deteriorated since moscow illegally annexed crimea in 2014, this, you don't have law. we take responsibility for wanting this dialogue, which is necessary for this to be lety of the europe in continent. but we will be demanding because we won't give up our values or our interests. i think that this is the right method. we cannot remain in a purely reactive stones when it comes to russia. last week, us president joe biden met with vladimir putin in geneva. but the idea of rolling out the red carpet for the russian president, infuriated eastern european leaders and others who regard russia as the threats the kremlin, understands power politics. the kremlin does not understand. a free confessions, as a sign of strength of the talks on russia lasted into the early hours. the friday latest into breed was summit left the door open to possible cooperation with moscow

on the areas of common interest including climate change. the summit was long, perfect. we spoke about russia, it was not an easy discussion, but there was no agreement today on an immediate need of meeting. i would have preferred, boldest step forward, but this is good to and we will continue to work together. one kind of 19 leaders promised to coordinate more closely as concerns grow over the variance and the built prepared the launch, a coven certificate to ease you travel. they also talked about more cooperation with turkey, an extra funds for anchor to extend the 2016 you turkey migration packed l g b t q rides would initially on the agenda. but leaders included them in protest out of traversal new law for member state hungry bands, content on homosexuality and gender change on gary and lead to victor o bonds at the law and to protect children. but other leaders remained unconcerned. eating.

people must feel free on the basis of sexuality, skin, color, gender, whatever, based on article 2 of the founding, treat to the european union, which is non negotiable, or get out of this some it's likely to be anglo merkel. last, before she stepped down as german chancellor, her 1st to use some, it was in 2005. not all of our policies have been supported in your circle, but few have doubted her commitments the european project. natasha butler. i'll just sarah paris. some thoughts now from carl alonzo, who is a political analyst and chief executive of the center for european policy studies in europe, needs to take a tough line on moscow. i would take a much firmer attitude towards russia than while this being proposed in the paper, which was adopted by the external actions service by a higher percentage is only a week from now last wednesday, just to nader biden met putting and geneva de adopted the paper if you haven't

lenient attitude towards russia, but of course if you know what is happening and then what is happening, let's say the baltic states in relation to russia and, and you know what is happening in poland, you would take a firm, i think you're certainly if you know that for example, the rational target these have been clearly involved. the secret service has been clearly involved in getting, for example, this jonas, although there's the right name in russia on his way to lead rainy. if you are done, of course, to be convenient, prime minister, you certainly want to actually me against russia. and this is only one example hunger. so the channels of rush us kind of undermining attitudes in many european countries. and right now the german chancellor, anglo merkel, is speaking at the thomas in bryan. he is not in any way treated in a negative way same, but what was,

what is the right of errands to educate them minus, also outside of the family home. and i said, of course, it is the right of parents to educate their children and raise their children. but if a young person is in difficulty and pass some difficulty in a quandary, not only as regards sexuality sexual orientation may well, we also violence within the family. then you do impose limits, do you not on the rights of parents? there is also responsible to saying here, and if this is not possible, if somebody has difficulty because he's to talk to others, may be possible support us outside of the family. then as i see it, it is something that we say we need to also respect the dignity of a child and the rights of a child. so that's a very, very delicate area. well, i like something totally different view than that that is expressed in the current

and gary legislation. alexander from the commission, the commission critique. i don't know criticism. as regards of the actual out the commission, i found a phenomena adult of it might have just one brief question on russia. again, i'd be interested to hear from you as we got the resistance of the heads of state and government. were you surprised this resistance? maybe, did you not assess property, the mood among them and one person issue? this will probably be your last summit as chancellor. i'm going to, we have heard from a number of other heads of state and government that they will miss you very much that you will miss to europe will miss you. is this something that you particularly will believe? i think we will probably have opportunity enough opportunities enough to take stock . the next meeting will suddenly be off to the elections

if they're not any other extraordinary meetings in the meantime. but i think we will have the opportunity to talk, particularly since i did not wish to take that. i will leave this to history and to me, because this is the question whether i was surprised by the share. well, let's put it that way. lived in a discussion well and resistance, well that the differences of opinion is something that i was well aware of, stuff from there. i'm not, obviously some c matters rather differently than what we talk russian present or other or the american present talks to the russian. hasn't he to did not reward the russian president for good behavior by having this dyed oak. this is something that saddens me because it shows that we, among ourselves, do not as yet have the amount of trust that is needed in order to know. in spite of good discussions we had with about russia that we stand up with self confidence and

with a clear cut, do we need to work on this? and i think it's well worth our while to set out on this uphill battle. but the russian president is not an easy partner, is totally clear to all of us. and i must say that everything we see and sort of influence that they are trying to make the sort of cyber attacks. the sort of a mis information conveys each and every member say that my now their own story to tell about this. it will not be such a friendly discussion, certainly not. but we have to, in some way, also find a modus operandi, how we deal with them. i mean, i have to do this when we're in the normandy format, for example. otherwise it will be no progress to speak of. i would like to and it's the support of my partners for this, but we still have time. i tried to describe to you what sort of way forward we

think would be useful. so it was a good and helpful discussion. on it is some room back, russian president, not an easy person to deal with, says german chancellor, anglo merkel. the she takes questions from the media in brussels. and remember germany and france wanting to have a european meeting with president putin of russia that has been voted down by a number of other european states in anglo miracle saying that you'll have to happen at some stage. but that will be after the german elections, possibly when she won't be the chancellor. so that's an ongoing european union summit in brussels on to other news. china has approved a government reshuffle in hong kong. me more critics. they will only tighten beijing security crank down on the territory. police chief chris time will become the security secretary. his predecessor john lee, been promoted up to chief secretary. is the 1st person from a policing background to assume the office since hong kong was handed over to china

in 1997. to be fair, so john lee has been in the government for almost 4 decades. and security bureau is perhaps one of the biggest in terms of significance in terms of the number of civil servants. and it's so position. so one could not say that as a secretary for security, for many years, his experience is limited. there's more than 2 vehicles harlan in hong kong. this is both men played significant roles in the crack down on the pro democracy protests and the new appointments have any raised fears about freedom in hong kong . not to put this into context, the chief secretary is akin to the position of vice president, the united states power structure like the vice president there are appointed and not elected that the right hand person of the leader in this case of carry lamps. and the usually stay out the term of the chief executive with carry labs still has

another year to go in her term, which is what makes the timing of this so unusual. so only is a former police officer and he now becomes the 1st chief of security to become chief secretary, the outgoing chief secretary, matthew john was seen as sympathetic to the protest movement and the prose democracy protestors who were on the streets in 2019 john lee was tough to shutting down those processed and seen as a hard liner. it is also on his war to the national security law came into place and, and under a year or more than a 100 people had been arrested under that law. what's all to significance is that chris time, the former chief of police who was instrumental to shutting down the protest, is now taking over from john lee as chief of security. there are concerns that this re shuffle indicates that hong kong, once china's pre a city now becomes a police fate. and all this is happening in the run up to july 1st,

which is not only the anniversary of the hands over, but also mark the 1st year of the national security law. and more significantly marks the celebrations of a 100 years of the chinese communist party. the government to new zealand is planning to strengthen hate speech laws in response to the mosque attack, and christ church killed 51 muslims. 2 years ago, a high level inquiry found existing goals were a weak deterrent for people targeting religious and other minority groups. the proposed changes would increase maxon and sentences by hate speech offenses to 3 years in jail or a fine of $35000.00. the changes to the humans, right? human rock fact a, the chrome tech which we are proposing are not about restricting anyone's ability to engage in debate about the issues sagnasti, things to someone or about someone does not make healthy and constructive relationship. it is not the type of speech that we are targeting. what we are looking at is when people are speaking or commenting about a group because of the misty, the religious beliefs, the 60, well it's evil,

other characteristics, lot of the agenda status. and what they are saying is intended to inside stay, maintain and normalize hatred against that group. rescue workers in the czech republic and searching for survivors after a tornado. a rare occurrence happened in the southeast. at least 3 people have died and hundreds have been injured. the storm swept through 7 villages and towns destroying hundreds of homes. power has been count as well to more than 120000 household. meteorologists say it is the strongest tornado to hit the country. and police officers in chile have rescued 27 people trapped in a blizzard, where the temperatures plummeted to minus 20 degrees celsius. offices the height for 4 hours in the dark more than 5000 meters above sea level to reach the group which included 2 children all $27.00 said to be in good health. the weather is next and then all people will know stories. and sheila, in fact, people questioning the effectiveness of

sure that this is what we, we will found is fine. and what we found out is that the combination, the unique combination of traits, which we have does not fit any other group that we already knew from the region. and even more, it is very similar to fulfill that were found in the israel. but the 3rd dated much earlier to 400 south and years ago as well to those from europe, which are referred to pretty new under tiles. and then we understood that we have here and our cake group that lived for hundreds of thousands of years in this region. and it must probably contribute is their contribution to later in the, under the population that lived in europe. so it means that the, this, the source population of the european and toe is actually from bill advice rather than from europe, archeologists and historians,

a divided about new concrete pathways for tourists, one of the world's most important monuments. and so they devastate the acropolis in grief. let's jump up. let's reports from athens. the work aims to restore what it originally looked like. the acropolis in athens receives thousands of visitors a day. they climb cobblestone puffs built in the 1950s to reach the open space at the top. and here they are now met with a broad pathway that takes them to the temple of athena, known as the puffing on this pathway, poured concrete was laid down in the past few months. and it has outraged many seasons visitors who say its breadth and the material it's made of disrespect besides. but those we spoke to liked it, but i thought that well they do have that sort of it didn't feel like it wasn't in place or but it didn't fit in. you didn't really notice that as like an ice or anything like that. the critics suspects the new perfectly aims to further

commercialize the site by catering to big increase in the number of tourists from cruise ships. my knowledge go to us is in charge of restoration work at the acropolis. he says he's merely restoring the path to what it used to be the my value to buy nothing now. and been during the great part of the night festival, 10000 athenians a day. we're able to enter through this gateway. that's what it was designed for. we simply never restored it to, to inertia when i took over the restoration, marcia, i realize this was something that couldn't go on. it wasn't the number of visitors who had access that concerned me. maybe under the day they deserve to see what was here. rather than some idea restores had the 1950 s s a in the concrete park where corresponds to the width of the original entrance to the acropolis for the past 20 years entering and departing visitors have been confined to narrow wooden walkway which uses only one of 5 ancient doorways, but in classical antiquity all fine for in use some of heinously. and the ultimate

plan is to restore access through all of them. grooved stones left exposed, serve as clear evidence. this was the path original width and the concrete is easily removed because it sits on plastic sheeting that protects the bedrock. perhaps, most importantly, the new pathways a part of the plan to enable people with disabilities to access the site. and a new elevator now makes this possible use numbers from the m as ever. we've been talking about disabled access to the acropolis since the 2004 will mpeg. so now we can say that any disabled person in the world who wants to visit the acropolis can now do so. this broadening of access is still a work in progress. once the gateway is restored, a grand staircase will be 2. it was only half built before was stopped work $25.00 centuries ago, only then says the man in charge of the project will people understand the acropolis as it was designed by its original architect. jobs are open us al jazeera

athens in the occupied west bank. the funeral procession is underway for an outspoken critic of palestinian president bass. these are not died on thursday after being arrested and beaten by palestinian authorities security forces. he accused the pay of human rights violations and called on western nations to cut off aid to the group. those pictures coming in life from hebron. now as is stephanie decker from her vantage point, tell us what you think, steph, why is being laid to rest? now get alina to zoom in from, from the top of where we are, it seems to be slowly starting to wrap up. miss been gotten fire as well in the i can tell you that people here are incredibly angry at the palestinian authority. you'll probably see some of the men in the crowd with guns beat people telling us that basically they're now calling. you probably can't hear from where from your,

your position, but they're calling for the people are calling for the downfall of the regime. these are chance that they have been calling for. they've also been calling for as they carried the body through the streets at hebron to the cemetery. here for probably mahmoud abbas to go. he's been in charge for a very long time in developing an authority. the cancellation of election, he counselled those in april elections hasn't been held here for 15 years. this is one of the main criticisms that the people here and also the activists that was killed his response to when those elections were cancelled was to call on the european union stop funding to the palestinian authority. you mentioned there are some of the accusations saying they were corrupt, saying that the leadership had to go, that fresh elections had to be held. so this is a sense, really from everyone we have been speaking to. you can probably lena, can you get those? i know it's probably, you know, a lot of our networking among the crowds. this is a sensitive people. they say we are under a double occupation. it's the privacy you authority. they accused of being hand in

hand with israel. i'm speaking to an elderly gentleman. he said, you know, this is the 1st time in my life that i actually see our own security forces coming into a palestinian home and beating someone to death because they don't agree with our policies. so a lot of anger i did off because interestingly called for protests have been called after friday prayers, particularly in the area as to whether will be seeing huge numbers. because usually in the west bank we don't see massive numbers come out. you don't see tens of thousands of people coming to the streets. and it's interesting because of the anger that we're seeing talking to a lot of people. and everyone also has said, well, you know what people are scared. people are scared to come out and protest to be very vocal against the leadership, the senior leadership because they fear the same kind of crackdown. so this is sort of the sense here, outrage an anger and he's now been laid to rest. we can see the people streaming through. i think we'll wait and see whether those calls for protest today or go to

get any, any traction. how many people going to see coming out? but certainly here today, chance very much directed at the patterson president moved about to go for there to be changed and there for to be election. people want to vote again. certainly this all coming at a time when the palestinian authority are ready is facing incredibly low support rates. here in the west, back stephanie decades in hebron there the funeral of nevada, but not ongoing this friday. ah, hop off the i will take you through the headlines. russia says the e u is being held hostage by an aggressive minority after leaders failed to agree on a proposal to hold a summit with president vladimir putin. some member states of voy.
