ah, ah ah ah, this is the only news live from by learn a lot of me as a landscape facts the european parliament for it support and accuses russia. i've tried to destroy our european way of life. it was the ukrainian presidents later stop and talk aimed at shoring up support for his country's fight against russia. also on the program in turkey and syria rescue workers granted to find more survivors for the catastrophic earthquake aid has started to arrive in the hardest areas. but after 3 cold nights, hopes are fading fast. north korea's military celebrated 75th birthday,

came joan reviews, the reclusive states nuclear arsenal. and one of the largest ever young youngs increasingly making washington and the rest and the west concern. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program for me as the landscape was in brussels today. joining leaders of the $27.00 you countries for their special summers on the situation in ukraine. before the discussions, the prime minister's president and the box, most senior representatives warmly welcomed the ukrainian president was on only he 2nd trip outside his country since the start of russia's full scale invasion. just the head of the summit, he addressed the european parliament in an impassioned speech. he placed that a victorious you would one day join the european union and said that by backing his

country against russia, the e u was helping to defend european values. yeah, yeah, go see him stood up. i think all of you. he also help helium, all of you. it helps you crazy with vitally important supplies and ammunition. energy equipment. is it that we sort of my things and items that would be that we wouldn't be able to do? and the, i thank you, legacy analysis. we're consolidating with that you with your decisions. defend the european way of life without a steadfast stadium that you anti offend, the cranial ruffian way of life. get more or less from our brussels, a bureau chief, alexandra on, non welcome, alexander. so a talk us through the main points. well, i think other speech

a once again showed that followed him, is alene ski, knows exactly what audience he's speaking to and knows exactly how to address his audience. here is speaking about european lawmakers who have been in long the strongest supporters of keith since the beginning of russia's invasion. and so that ins key thank them for their support, stressing this has been or what has motivated his people to keep up or fighting. and he praised the european union and what it stands for, peace, the rule of law, the european way of life, saying that this is the right home for ukraine and expressing his confidence that ukraine will be member of that. you are p in union eventually. and of course, or this was a tailor made her message at taylor taylor made

a speech for the european parliament. here. i miss, i'm a contentious issue, providing our ukraine with fighter jets was brought up not by the ukrainian president, but by his a host of reverse and that sort of the president of the european palmed. we'll hear that and then come back to alexander. and now states must consider quickly as a next step, providing long range systems and the jets that you need to protect, deliver to so president her zalinski appears to harbor european our parliament on board. alexandra, but european leaders, he's going to be meeting his meeting. now. are they going to be much more skeptical? well, i think there are going to be much more skeptical for sure. actually the ukranian president, addressing the european leaders here at the council building once again mentioned

the fighter jets and his request for western made fighter jets. saying that that is what ukraine needs. long range missiles, ammunition, of course, lots of ammunition and fighter jets. but we know that even though some leaders are indicated that would be the right thing to do. others and probably the majority of them are skeptical and cautious, pointing out that using western made fighter jets is very complex, that it requires a long training. and also indicated that that, that could, from their perspective maybe leads to an escalation of the situation. so for now, even though we see some movement in the debate, i don't think that all the european leaders are on the same page here with the president of the european parliament robitussin solo. to let speculate that on what we can expect to emerge from east holes between

a president zalinski under european has of government. well actually of course you would expect such a high stakes meeting to bring some concrete results. new announcements, however, you officials are telling me not to expect too much. or there are saying that ukraine needs to manage their expectations. let's say take the topic of sanctions. for instance. president zalinski was calling on the european leaders here in brussels to toughen sanctions on russia. to implement new things and including, for instance, sanctions on russ tom russians and russian state o nuclear power company that is accused of providing the russian armed forces, woods, material with equip and but we also know that this company is quite important for some members said so it is unlikely that it is going to be included in the next

round of sanctions. so you see, we all know how much we really can expect, of course, and the, and on the other hand i, i don't think that the european leaders are once as airlines key to leave here empty hand. it thank for alexander alexander phenomena in brussels or to turkey and syria, where the death toll from monday's massive earthquake has now reached more than 17500. the turkish president wretched tribe irwin has defended his government response, saying that preparing for a disaster, a disaster on this scale is practically impossible. international rescue teams have joined local emergency crews and the worst affected areas, but hopes of finding more survivors fighting. and in many places like took his hat, a province, a residence, so they have seen little outside help. for days, these residents have spent the night here camped amongst the marines of homes in

hattie province. one of the hardest hit by monday's quakes, they say they can still hear voices coming from under the rubble to moment, but if in left without any help to save their loved ones, rescue teams, equipment and emergency support is now starting to arrive here. that many fear it's come to light and their frustrations. and now turning to anger. we have 30 dead in there. is our state really incapable? i think so incapable. i have no words. 30 bodies have been lying here until the morning. we should the middle zeal. portal for the, for the holiday feel a little turkeys president is acutely aware of the fingers now being pointed at him and his government's response to the disaster. and while visiting some of the worst affected areas on wednesday, he did admit that they had encountered some problems elevator.

certainly there have been shortfalls. as the conditions have become clear, it is impossible to prepare to face a disaster like this all over in mich. moved in the opposition leader sees things differently though. blaming the president for the destruction was that there is only one person responsible for this catastrophe, and that is the 3rd one the 20 years. he has failed to prepare the country for earthquakes with our international emergency and rescue teams are now up and running with crew. so more than 2 dozen countries taking part in the rescue mission . and despite fears at the window to find more survivors is closing. there is still hope that more people may be found alive with moments like this, providing emergency teams with all the motivation they need to carry on the search for signs of life. well, i corresponded terry shoals is in

a donna in southern turkey, and she told us more about the situation that we are currently in a suburb of a donna to cordova. and in fact is, is not one of the areas hardest hit by the quake, but we spent time here yesterday at collapse buildings. and i just spoke with the mayor who said 400 people in his community have been lost. and as you can see behind me, there are some 400 tens and 1200 people here. but as we have seen throughout the country, people seem to be in relatively good spirits. and most of all they are so welcoming . and i just want to share with you some new friends i made immediately upon arrival here. this is irene. she's 8 years old and we're going to come here. and when i came up with my tv makeup on my face, they said, can we have some lipstick? and so, i mean, you asked me to give you list to you and look at her america. she's only 3

a better, right? but all of us know exactly how that goes. thank you girls. and as you can see, of course we do have their parents permission. oh my gosh, highlight of my day. definitely. so sorry for the noise behind us, there are trucks arriving here with aid. and as i said, i just spoke with the mayor of chicago, who said that they have enough food and enough water for the moment. but he said they will need aid in the days to come in. in addition to the 1200 people living in the 10th, he said there are thousands sleeping in the streets, burning what they can find to stay warm. and there's no telling how long the situation will go on. we've been feeling, you know, we've been hearing about the aftershocks continuing and so people are very concerned that while they may feel ok today on a sunny day with no aftershocks, no one has any idea how long they are going to need to continue supporting people

who can't go back to their homes as tele shows. and so the situation is that it's more problematic. international aid has now reached a rebel held enclave despite the complications caused by the countries 12 years civil war. the official about how a border crossing between turkey and syria. as confirmed that he un aid convoys entered the enclave by millions, rely on humanitarian aid. the w a team is in the region and said this exclusive report. digging through the robot and the syrian town of harrow, just one of hundreds in the region that have been flattened by the quake. rescuers often just using their bare hands for the most basic of tools. graphite is one of the locals, frustrated by the lack of proper digging machinery that's compounded by exhaustion . after working 2 days without sleep oil. hm. and we need help from other

countries. we're getting some equipment. we have people under the rubble and we're trying to pull them out. we have malice. but what good are mallet got this little? what we really need is heavy equipment to rescue people and they've been under the rubble for 48 hours a day. and we need heavy equipment to get them out and she ended up by the about al alan. some bulldozers have arrived, but they're not nearly enough. given the widespread scale of destruction. and hopes of finding more survivors are diminishing by the hour. while the able bodied assist with rescue efforts, others are left to ponder. what's next for them. lather, annella, missoula, dont have any clothes or any possessions anymore that her mother then the streets and the rain without socks or anything man had they don't have anyone to stay with us. my siblings died and a left on earth while i had a hot him, especially in the hadn't graphite,

and the other helpers in our him who continued to hammer away until our mission is complete. and after that, they'll have another massive task. rebuilding their village is august, the war store is making news around the world. we're starting sha, where president gabrielle breakers, asked for international assistance to combat wildfires across the santa and south of the country. 24 people have died in the fight in recent days. authorities warned that the new gateway could worsen the situation. police in canada say 2 children have been killed after bust, smashed into a daycare center in mature police, believe the drive across the vehicle deliberately. so they don't know why. disney says is to cut $7000.00 jobs around the world and slash costs by $5.00 and a half $1000000000.00. media company also says it will spend less on film and t v production is follow similar announcements from netflix,

which are also cutting back on content to north korea. we're a leader kim jong on has appeared at a, at a military parade in the capitol beyond. the presence of his daughter alongside him has raised eyebrows. the nighttime event mark the military, 75th anniversary, and showcase up to 11 inter continental or miss isles. they're seen as a major challenge to the west as they're designed to reach the united states mainland. the north korean leader attended the event with is a young daughter. i can do a i r fueling speculation that she's being a prime does the country's future leader concern in the region has been growing on the united states is also concerned by the threat posed by a nuclear north korea. ah, north korea once the world to see it's military might

in 2022, the country launched to dozens of miss isles. more than any other year on record. they included long range crews and ballistic weapons. north korea's leader came, john owen is the military supreme commander. his country may be poor, but on his watch it spends almost a quarter of its g. d. p on the military, according to the us state department. despite being 75 years old, the korean peoples army, the k. p a is still shrouded in secrecy. it's made up of an estimated 1200000 personnel. in september 2017. kim signed off on north korea 6 and lost no nuclear test. young jofunia that was quickly followed by pyongyang, claiming

a new intercontinental ballistic missile. the while song 15 had been tested. you want to join the entire united states is within range of our nuclear weapons. and nuclear button is always on my desk. this is reality not a threat or i am. the exact size and strength of north korea's nuclear arsenal is unclear, but it is believed to possess up to 30 nuclear heads with state tv, promising more. shuns helen, the garden situation highlights the importance and necessity of mass production of tactical nuclear weapons and calls for an exponential increase of the country's nuclear oftener work with that one is lower than threats concerning washington and its allies. last week, the u. s. and japan held joint and drills all of this sparking fears of an asian arms race. no one quite sure what kim and his generals are planning next year. yeah,

little younger than them did young will. josh smith is royce, a senior correspondence, and so i asked him what those are images from the military parade. tell us. so tonight we did have that interesting just position of came on and his family overseeing these massive nucular tipped missiles. the daughter has, interestingly made an appearance at almost every major military event lately. and it's really underscore and kind of the twin pillars of power in north korea, the kim family and its various members there as well as now this increasingly powerful new killer arsenal analysts. we spoke to say that every one of these parades and demonstrations of north korea's nuclear power underscores it's policy that it will never give up those weapons. and the family presence,

their underscores how these weapons are an integral part of the future of the country as well. as of the kim family regime and will talk us through the weapons that we saw. so as you mentioned, we saw nearly a dozen of some of their longest range was song, 17 icbm, which they tested for the 1st time last year. these are some of the largest road mobile icbm in the world, and they would be capable of reaching targets nearly anywhere around the globe, including crucially in the united states. we also saw potential new, solid fuel icbm. it's unclear whether it's supposed to be an operational missile or possibly mockups. north korea does have a history of rolling out prototypes or mock ups at these parades. but it's presence

their suggest, or underscore is north korea's pursuit of solid fuel missiles, which would be opposed to the current liquid fueled missiles, which typically take a long time to fuel, making them easier to potentially target in a conflict. and so the suggest kind of the next step in their missile development there. so tell us more about this daughter came at you. i believe she's not even the oldest, but that the sack a 2nd daughter. and it does look like she's being groomed to take over. is that what we should take from this? oh, so she is the 1st and only child so far this ever been acknowledged or officially shown by north korea. so there is speculation that there is an older child, however, that's not confirmed, and it's far from clear and even her name. we only know because of dennis rodman as visit to kim jungle,

and she's never been named by kim young. but her increasing presence at these key events does add fuel to the speculation that she's being groomed for a senior leadership position at minimum and possibly even kim jones job it. so whenever he dies, i thought a josh smith, joseph smith in so u. s. present, joe biden says the shooting down if a suspected chinese spy balloon has no south relations between the 2 countries. the pentagon says the balloon was part of a large surveillance program. the china has been conducting for several years affecting countries across 5 continents. china says the balloon was just a weather balloon. these are the soggy remains of what is alleged to be a powerful chinese spike. craft u. s. defense teams here pulling the remnants from the sea off the south carolina coast. for further inspection in the pentagon. doesn't believe this balloon was an

isolated incident. us and national officials have meet to discuss what comes next. china engaged in this, the responsible action, violation of our, our sovereignty and turtle integrity and international law. and as we noted as well, we're not alone in this countries across 5 continents have also had surveillance balloons over fly other territory, which is why we're sharing this information with others. we're also seeing increased chinese intelligence activities in europe. again, different platforms. hm. um they use a south lard, so they, they, they cyber analysis in order not to say it's also volumes. the discovery of the balloon and at subsequent shooting down have wilson washington's

already, teens relations with china. the u. s. has briefed 40 countries on the situation with a stray lea, a responding by pulling chinese made security cameras from some government buildings like this war memorial to ensure that they are completely secure in china insists the balloon was simply monitoring the weaver before veering off. course. it is unacceptable for the us to attack china civilian issue, and it is irresponsible sensationalizing the focus china threat doesn't help improve bilateral justice, nor does it make the us more secure as the united states, mops up from the balloon fall out. president joe biden is stressing relations between the 2 countries, have not taken a hit amid growing global tensions. the white house seemingly still hopeful, of salvaging ties with beijing. ah,

lovers in amsterdam are gearing up for one of the biggest exhibitions of works by dutch master yon from here. but if his most famous works will be on display, including the world famous go with a pearl earring. this is the 1st time so many of the 17th century pieces have been brought together. 28 out of around 37 known works are on display at amsterdam rags museum among them, the milkmaid girl reading a letter and an open window. and perhaps the most famous of them, all girl with a pearl earring painted in 1665, the common thread that brings them altogether. our depictions of real life in the 17th century. keep it up on for him. as in fanny, as paintings don't tell a story in the sense that there's a lot going on. there's no running around horses galloping or something fording on

the ground or people fighting. his paintings are always very quiet, very introverted. and this introversion, of course, allows the viewer to enter into a new world of the media to him. yon for mere lived and worked in the dutch city of delft. he was only 43 years old at the time of his death, and it was only posthumously that both he and his paintings gained worldwide recognition. especially for the use of light from m and with a man use his natural light as it naturally enters a room. and as it highlights certain objects and not others. and on her girl with a pearl earring was fictionalized on the silver screen in 2003 with american actress scarlett johansson bearing a striking resemblance to farmers famous subject. ah sir,

your masters of sighing painted. the exhibition in amsterdam has been years in the making with the paintings, arriving from various museums around the world. it's an extremely rare chance for a brief encounter with most of ramirez works. this is data when you see as reminder of our top stores, the crime in present bottom is the landscape. it's fine for european parliament for it's support. addressing lawmakers, he said that the victorious ukraine would one day joy in european union. the latest stuff and european tour i'm to, it's showing up support for his country 5 years. this growing criticism for your official response to the earthquakes of killed thousands in turkey, syria is present as have seen the destruction for himself and admitted that were failings of the day. i think you're up to date

next on dw team, sebastian talks chinese security and strategy in conflicts. so you'll find a more of course as l d w dot com on that. the w more the top of your day with
