a lengthy process before full status within the e can be achieved. all 27 members states will need to approve ukraine's candidate status at a summit. next week, the e commission says in return, you quite must introduce reforms and respect international law commission chief us, you have on the lines. as you queens have shown, they are ready to die for their european dream. in the view of the commission, ukraine has clearly demonstrated the country's aspiration and the country's determination to live up to european values and standards. ukraine before the war had already embarked on its way towards the european union for 8 years now. it had already been gradually moving closer to ours union grange agreeing ukrainians with defenders. but now we are only one step away from fully fledged integration into the e. u. or we have

a positive assessment from the european commission concerning a candidate status for ukraine. and it is a historic achievement or all who work for our country. we just have to wait for the decision of european council next week. so i think ukraine made everything possible for this decision to report. it must be a could take many years ukraine to achieve e membership. though countries submitting membership application to the ear council, which then collectively assesses their ability to meet what is known as the copenhagen criteria. this includes a functioning market economy, a stable democracy in the rule of law, as well as the acceptance of all e legislation and the euro. ukraine will at least need to implement further judicial and anti corruption reforms to meet as if the commissions opinion is positive. the council then begins to negotiate membership, often on a subject by subject basis, which can take years. 5 nations currently have either candidacy, status, albania, of macedonia, montenegro, serbia,

and turkey. she's been on the list for 25 years. or russia has accused your opinion of manipulating ukraine by promising membership. charles stratford has more from keith. this process is going to take a very long time. also, i think the ukrainians are very aware of what sir. many pundits and analysts say is the beginnings of a more apparent split amongst e you states as to whether indeed ukraine is ready for some sort of candidates candidacy status. countries in western europe such as the netherlands, portugal and denmark very much seen is saying that ukraine is not yet ready, but a lot of pressure coming from the baltic states and eastern european countries saying look, we've got to start this process. now let's give ukraine a chance. of course the big question is, is what this really means or what kind of reaction we're going to potentially see

from moscow to this bid for e u membership. in the last 24 hours, the criminal spokesman dimitry prescott has said that moscow is monitoring ukraine's e. u membership be closely specifically in relation to increased cooperation militarily with european countries. let's not forget that one of the reasons why moscow said, and it's believed that vladimir putin gave the go ahead for an invasion of this country, was because in his eyes, ukraine is russia's sphere of influence. so any move further west, any move towards europe and nato countries inside europe is going to be potentially perceived as a, as only adding to that sense of freight that vladimir putin says, threatens russia. or in other developments, and british prime minister has visited king for the 2nd time in just an a t man's

successive governments have being blamed for neglecting it's rich heritage as anal . honda reports this gift from an ottoman so time is from a different time. before lebanon's 2nd largest city was left to d. k. l pill square is in the historic heart of tripoli. the 19th century architecture in a state of neglect, mismanagement, and corruption by those who have been governing for decades are blamed for the situation. now that all these beautiful monuments are important for us, but we are concerned with putting food on the table that these markets are what are known as suits, are rich in history and culture. but tripoli is one of the poorest places in a country struggling with a collapse the economy. the crisis means more business for cobblers. 3rd, extreme poverty in the city where unemployment rates reached 60 percent,

and their hardship is getting worse. because politicians have done little to reverse the economic implosion. in the past, people threw away darell choose that were able to afford new ones. now they can't even afford the cheapest pair of shoes. preserving traditions is also a challenge. the copper and brass business is a centuries old trade that is passed on from one generation to the next. i learned the holly and understood it, but we are barely working. few can afford brass. instead they're buying aluminum and stainless steel. give them another old craft is so making it still being done by hand in this coastal city. but inside these ancient walls, people feel forgotten. since the end of the civil war in 1990, there has been no project to promote development. but not yet, the city has the ability to load tourists, whether foreign or liberties ex, yet the authorities have done nothing to preserve the historical monuments and

bring life back to this place. centuries ago this courtyard are what is known as a han was a place where traders and travellers meet. today it is empty. typically is considered the 2nd most are to logically important city front of the mom, look empire after the adoption capital, cairo, the montessori mosque is among some of the structures remaining from that era. remnants from other ears as well are found here, but tripling history is overshadowed by a turbulent recent past and a grim reality center for their shoes. either tripoli, northern lebanon, al, part to here, very serious thing. the hottest, early summer temperatures in decades was scientists blaming climate change for these heat waves part the spain of hit highs of above 40 degrees. while in one part of france, outdoor events have been banned and a heat alert was also issued in southern england. these barker ports from london.

the extinction, rebellion protested, shut down, paths of central london a few years ago were fed up of, of here in the rhetoric we make meaningful action. and if our leaders are incapable of doing that, they're not capable of getting off of a fossil fuel addiction, they're just doubling down on it and continuing to pursue new fossil fuel investments. continue to subsidize this home for industry than we were have the core of we have to call them out and education is cade's. the public can also understand in the role of non violent civil resistance in this moment because everything house is found. climate scientists say the next decade will be defined by greater extremes of whether but the theory is it will also be shaped by our collective failure to do more. the bulk al jazeera london, ah
