a rise in kobe cases due to the delta variance? we report on oxygen supply problems that are making a tough to tackle the pandemic and heartbreak. in florida, after the collapse of a beach front apartment, dozens of people are accounted for and rescue fear that the death toll could rise sharply. ah, i'm see me so much good, that's good to have you with us. you leaders have rejected a plan. the whole talks with russia, letting me put in france and germany made the proposal, but it got plenty of backlash from baltic countries at a summit in brussels. and there was another topic dividing member states, what to do about a new law in hungary that critics say is homophobic. more than half of the leaders condemn the legislation calling it discrimination that goes against you. val. well

hungry of prime minister victor or bon says he has no intention of changing the law rainbow colored re get what's seen as a hungarian attack on fundamental rights stole the spotlight at a european union summit that was to be dominated by efforts to deal with the corona virus crisis and its economic consequences. as he arrived in brussels, hungarian prime minister, victor, or bon faced calls for his country's expulsion from the e. u. for a new law that bans any portrayal of homosexuality to minors. many leaders confronted or bond directly in the meeting, some of them quite emotionally, belgium prime minister alexander to cro says he was surprised by what he called the quasi unanimous opposition. and we have clearly pointed out to oregon. this is a line and descent. and you have gone too far as this low is unacceptable. you have more than half of leaders signed a letter, underscoring the you principle of non discrimination over sexual orientation and

gender identity. the european commission has already begun a legal procedure against budapest over the legislation. another departure from the planned agenda on russian relations. a last minute franco german proposal to invite vladimir putin to a summit. that suggestion failed to gain support to the german chancellor, chagrin, mackenzie her stuff. and we couldn't agree today to immediately meet at the high levels at the leaders level. but for me, it's important that the format of a dialogue will be further investigated. i personally would have wished for a more courageous step, but it's good as it was just awkward lithuanian president. you tanice no said it is also pleased with the outcome because the proposal failed. i think it's too early because we are so far, we don't see any radical changes for the behavior of bad behavior for the mirror polluting and to try to engage is for the

costs. very good, a, the bucks to engage valid and a deadlines without any pick conditions. of course it would be very wrong signal. i would say leaders did cover other subjects on migration. they focused on how to stop it at its source. and on the corona virus, they called for more solidarity and coordination on efforts to fight dependent mac and to reopen travel next up prospects and programs for economic recovery. let's go right to brussels, our bureau chief, alexander phenomena standing by for us. there are good morning, alexandra. i want to ask you about the 2 big topics, dividing member states. first of all, the question of a possible summit with latimer putin. there was no agreement on this issue. why is that? well, we have to understand, 1st of all, that this was a last minute pitched by germany and friends and that was presented shortly before the summer started. many leaders felt blindsided, saying why as

a justified to have this idea. why now, only because of the you asked rather than mess with letting me put in we have to understand the high level talks between you leaders and the russian president were suspended after the annexation of crimea. since then the relations got even worse. so that is why many leaders among them many in eastern europe. i think it's too early to talk about that. first, we have to see a change of behavior and concessions from the kremlin. ok, let's talk about the other topic, the l g b t q law hungry. that's very controversial. we know victor, oregon is not backing down. you leaders. many of them saying it is homophobic. and i want to play what the dutch prime minister had to say. for many last me hungry no longer has to please me you. but unfortunately with the system we have, i cant or the other 26 member states can just tell them to leave. that needs to be done step by step. in the meantime, we hope dillard's kept. i said that that is

a pretty bold statement from the prime minister. that hungry may not have a place in the you anymore. so how is this, if you're going to play out? well, this is a very bold statement. indeed, and i think it's fair to assume that although you leaders with thinking the same when they have this heated emotional discussion about a new law in hungry. but we have to say that this is, of course, up to 100 hungry to decide whether they would like to stay in the european union or not. and now after this very heated summit, we are sort of to speak back to business. the european commission has announced he is that it is triggering legal proceedings over this new legislation in hungry. however, in the past, we also saw that hungry tends to ignore court rulings, but there is a new mechanism, a new rule of law mechanism linked to e. u. funds, it's not in place at the moment, but it will be soon. so we definitely expect to see

a decision by the european commission to freeze you funds. this being distributed to hungary, if there is a lack of democratic values in this country. you called it a heated summit. i mean, what did these disagreements tell us about the state of unity in the european union? well, i think it's telling us a lot about the problems and challenges the european union is facing. it was meant to be a club of democracies, you know, a counter model to dictatorships and also we target regimes else we're not within the block. and now the european union is facing also italian tendencies within the clap. and it's just the whole thing. it's telling us that the european union is not well equipped to, to, to counter such authoritarian, undemocratic moves measures within the piano union. ok, last question i was kind of considering those struggles. do you think there's any prospect of a concrete outcome on these topics?

well, we actually have a few concrete outcomes. we have the decision to look look into father punitive measures with regard to russia, the pin union a want to work closely together with the countries who can help to stem migration. and the leaders are quite united when it comes to covet and how to fight future condemn x r. brussels bureau chief, alexander, phenomena reporting for us there. thank you very much to kenya. now we're an alarming surgeon. covered 19 cases is pushing health providers to the brink. health officials, there are warning that the highly contagious delta vary and 1st identified in india is responsible for the rise and infections. dw visited the hospital in key sumo, where oxygen is in short, supply screams for more oxygen, the intensive care unit and consumer hospital. one of the biggest in kenya. yes.
