calling the law of violation of fundamental rights and other contention item on the agenda is a proposal by germany and france to hold a summit with russian president vladimir putin in a bid to improve the blocks relations with moscow. always prime minister to all that has been facing mounting pressure to repeal the controversial law seem to target the l g b g u community. despite this, taking questions from reporters ahead of the summit historically defended it. i'm a freedom fighter in the community surgeon, homosexuality was punished and i fought for their freedom in the rights. so i am defending the rights of the whole sexual guys, but this low is not about that. it's about the right of the kids and the parents to accept yourself being a well my move stick because thing sorts it myself how to say to my parents. and to hear now that it is because maybe i watch something on tv when i was younger, is unacceptable and to mix a pit of failure, pornography homosexuality is,

is unacceptable. so we will have to discuss and to, to say, not again, we have to discuss in future. we have to discuss now. and to, to say that it's unacceptable. it's, it's, it's even so step that we have to, to say that we are going to court. it's about co values of european union to be able to be different in union. while the w brussels chief i sent off a now and is covering this use summit. for us, i found you was threatening to take legal action against hungry. now, will this overshadow the summit? while that could happen, definitely we just so how emotional this matter is being discussed and we just so big to or bond hunger and prime minister making clear that he is not thinking about backing down. he said that the law has been published. it's done deal so to speak. but there are also 16, at least 16 you leaders from lots to island to from spain,

to italy who are very upset, who are very angry saying that this legislation is against the core values of the european union, the bulge and prime minister, the cross set that they, you is not a supermarket when you go and pick whatever you would like the you. he said is a club with rules as if you are not playing by the rules, you should not continue to receive you fun. so this is the issue. the leaders are going to discuss over dinner and all journalists here, which of course, love to be a fly on the wall to, to see how this, this discussion is, will be discussed at the dinner. i kinda match and also on the agenda, germany and france, i'm proposing an e use summit with me put in this morning and ugly michaels final speech department . she emphasized the need to resume talks. so what, what can we say about that? the events of the last few months and not only in germany have clearly shown that

it's not enough for us to react to russia. numerous provocations in an uncoordinated way. instead, we must create mechanism to be able to respond to publications together and in a unified way. only then will we learn to count the rushes hybrid attack with us when you and in my view we, the european union must seek direct contact with russia and the russian president, ulta. no, it's not enough for us. president joe biden to speak with the russian president. lucy, i welcome that. but the european union must also create formats for dialogue, otherwise, conflicts will never be resolved. i'm going to speaking there. so germany and france went direct talks with putin. how is this likely to go down with other member states at this summit? while the leaders seem to be split over this proposal or stress, chancello quote, for example, said you well comes, he welcomes this proposal saying that, you know, the, you can just sit by and just watch the u. s. and the russian,

the russians a talking other leaders, however, and in particular, leaders in eastern europe are very cap. tickles saying that it doesn't make any sense to have some, it's, it's not new put in as long as russia doesn't change its behavior. and let's have a look, have a listen to watch these tony and prime minister told us about this proposal. it's not supposed to just surprise because last to some interest we have had a very kind of discussion about russia and, and the papers also reflect that. so what has changed really and what is the purpose of this? but i'm really key to listen what they will say about this and how, why it is on the table now. so let's, let's see kind of call us. it's at least saying that she is ready to listen. there are leaders of the presidents, of least one and larger. for example, who are saying this proposal is a non starter. they don't want to have

a summit with letting me put in as long as there are no concessions from the kremlin. this is also uncle michael's last year's summit. as chancellor. how is she going to bid farewell? while you know that she is famous for her pragmatism for her no nonsense attitudes, and i think we can expect her to want to keep it low key in brussels. she did of doing her last the 7 summit. we covered the summit and we tried to ask her to address the issue, but she played it down. she just made the she rather would like to talk about the pressing issues on the agenda. so that is something i think we can also expect for this. russell's alex on the for now that he w brussels, do it. she's thank you an example and let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines. hundreds of unmarked graves

have been found in the canadian town of maria, vowels of capital and nearer form. a catholic boarding school is the latest strain of shocking discoveries that disuse schools for indigenous children across the country. they have revived calls on the catholic church to apologize for the history of abuse of 1st nations children in canada will be at home. a philippine president been a new r chemo. the 3rd has died. he was 61 a keener surface leader from 2010 to 2016. he was the son of 2 of the countries biggest pro democracy icon was known as a storm in the side of china. aquino has been battling prolonged illness including undergoing dialysis and heart surgery at least one person as we boarded dead and several more injured off the part of a 12 story apartment building collapsed in the middle of the night near miami, in the us state of florida. the rescue team here more people may be trapped under

the rubble of clear what caused the accident to build a ruse. now, where several activists are being tried in court for protesting against the states, but erosion, video blog and leading opposition figure gay gantski is one of 6 people facing a range of charges including and citing social hatred and organizing mass disorder . you can ask, he was arrested last year after he made public his willingness to challenge alexander lucas shameka in last year's disputed residential election. mister taken off, his wife's atlanta, took over his election campaign and her supporters today. she wonderful little w. spoke to rogers of sikorsky, member of the european parliament and political pattern of sergey 6 and sky below russian. justice is a sham and mister johanna ski is only crime, was to try to behave like a citizen in

a normal country and to have political ambitions. his crime was to try to be elected for the office of president of the roofs. and that is why the dictates of yellow roofs has chosen to use him to intimidate the rest of society. i keep my fingers crossed for him, but i've been any faith in the justice of a dealership court of him on that. we can now go to front of shaka, but i wish journalist activists also an advisor to the exiled wife of 2nd. second, ascii said longer, who now lives in vilnius front, joins us from lithuania capital. what do we know about the start of cigarettes? you can office trial. we don't have much information because the trial is close. so basically, no relatives, no friends, no lawyers, no independent media. we're allowed to the trial to the courtroom. only the state

propaganda media, good x is there. so basically they are tried in reason. they are surrounded by guards. they surrounded by police by gauge b. we don't know much even in what they are accused because they are tied together, but many of them are not connected. some of them did not know each other before this child started. so basically too many unknowns, and this gives us a chance to see that this is not the real trial, but this is the personal revenge of lucas and apologies for the frozen video that front are due, the sanctions imposed on better route by that you go far enough and if not, what else can be done? sanctions are not an essential will not bring democracy to builders. we all understand this, but sanctions can help to put pressure on their resume. in order to release political prisoners. sanctions can help to pressurize, not only shameka,

but also people around him. his cronies, also businesses who enable the crackdown and who have the regime to sustain. so we expect that the, you will impose sectoral sanctions but also individual financial thanks to some people and companies which are supporting their regime. and today we knew that european council publish that list of sectors which will be sanctioned. and this gives us hope, and this can create the new momentum in the better risk crisis. year south have been arrested and jailed by the television authorities for opposing the state. one of the conditions lied for those in detention in bellows. let them forget the better this is so one of the most cruel dealership in the modern history of europe. repressions are the biggest and eastern europe since the 2nd world war. and more than 35000 people passed through jail through prisons since

last september. me personally, i was 4 times in jail. i was one year into health and nutrition because army military unit. and they must say the main goal is to break your psychologically. and this is what happened possibly with the amount of the image of the young journalist i kidnapped from the plane flying from awesome civilians. they basically force him to tell what they wanted him to tell. and he basically the recent press conference placed alexander lucretia, and which is absolutely unexpected from from him. he was criticizing the regime. finally we're talking about in building us. thank you. thank you. in hong kong, the biggest and most outspoken pro democracy newspaper that apple dailey, has shut down. its owners say they were forced to stop publishing off the authorities, use powerful new national security laws to seize the papers,

assets and arrests. several of its editors, the not a normal way to end the work day. but these journalists wave to a crowd of people who chant keep fighting. i think they've just sent the last edition of the popular apple daily to print off to the media outlet was bought to close down what followed was long lines of people eager to snap up a copy of the last edition inside. it says the paper has been a victim of tyranny coming out so that i know that today will be the last day of capital daily. why? i feel very sad because i know they will never be such a paper. that is to say the truth and death too, in depth investigative report. hold on. very shocking.

within 2 weeks, the authorities could use the national security law to dismantle a media company. i'm worried i, your, i believe the worst is yet to come. true, mason, life. apple daily is known for its racy celebrity gossip, but in more recent years and when new national security laws were recently passed, the new powers, we used to obstruct the papers operations. assets were frozen. offices were rated and executive arrested, including the papers, founder genie law. who has been in jail since last december china accuses the paper of colluding with foreign powers.
