20000, the 1st un 8 convoy arrives in both on syria to distribute humanitarian assistance . ah, i've been fas all unwelcome, hailed as a hero, bloated. mister lensky is in brussels with leaders of the european union's $27.00 member countries at their special summit on ukraine. officials welcomed the ukrainian president on his 2nd trip outside his country since the start of russia is full scale invasion. before the summit, miss lensky addressed the european parliament. you, graham, you are a piano we of lives and the shipping to russians are trying to destroy ukrainian and european way of life. oh, games with total war was, was it just not for what you were a place to destroy the training in european way of life? of course no will not allow this you for each of all 27 elements of the european

way of life. 27 countries of the european union. this total waterfall, which rushes unleashed is not only for territory and one that where no deparga or a he won its threat, lies only in the fact that there's a dictator with a massive stockpile of soviet weapons, iraq, and supporting weapons or from other dictatorships that there was a loose shift on this in particular data from the reagan machine or against was lloyd that did we had good was boy to be able to waged this war or the kremlin? absolutely. what is your cynically, what is consistently no step by step, said, year by year, mostly destroy what we see many asked the basis nisha far europe. leash with you mean by actual muslim, nationally is la maya europa, us, as i asked our brussels corresponding jack barrick. what stood out for him in the speech. well,

it was an impassioned speech in the european parliament. it went on extremely well . there was huge cheers actually, even as he was walking in to the hammers cycle of the european parliament that, that was expected. i think the members of the european parliament, we knew that they would respond to him in that way. but what's happened since is that he's moved here to the european council, where on the same day, the 27 leaders of the european union are meeting and he gave a joint press conference with us on the lion. and with char michelle, the european council president, and she being the european commission president, demanding that actually talks for ukraine's membership of the european union begin before the end of this year. president zalinski being here is very symbolic, but also he wanted action during this visit. what about what ukraine needs in this war against russia? what it, what about the sticking point of fighter jets? well this has been the big talking point, especially over the last couple of weeks since european partners allowed lepper to

another tanks to be exported or re exported into ukraine. the germans had a block on re exportation of tanks that were made in germany. they have now released that ever since that's been opened, the discussion and the pressure from keith. the government is asking for fight to jazz like that as he comes here of the back of a visit to the united kingdom, where the brit said that they would accept that they would train fighter pilots. but what they need, as well as those fight to jazz. obviously that door having been opened with the tanks is one thing, but there is reluctance among in the bigger you capital, specifically for france and germany, him in berlin and paris to send in more fight a jest over number of concerns firstly. and what that will mean, the escalation of the war, but also what it means for their own domestic national security. so jack, what else can we expect from today? some? well, an interesting thing that is this february summit that we're him right now was meant to be all about the european union. sorting out it's migration working out can deal with additional flows of migrants coming in across the mediterranean and through

the western broken roofs. zalinski visit has really hard thrown it in a different direction, but the lead is a resuming that meetings as we speak and we'll be talking about that's very thorough. it's only internal issue of migration. abrazzo correspond jack. com. thank you very much. now some other stories making use north korea has showcase several intercontinental ballistic missiles during the night time parade. marking the said the 5th anniversary of the founding of its military grade leader can drill down, attended the event with his daughter. phil yang claims. the missiles are designed to reach the united states mainland. the philippine president has met with the japanese prime minister in tokyo as the 2 nations. the 2 strengthened ties in response to china's growing military pressure in the region. the 2 leaders are expected to assign a key defense agreement later that would allow japanese troops to join more

training exercises and respond to natural disasters in the philippines. to lay in president gabriella bow, which has asked for international assistance to combat wildfires across the center in south of the country. 24 people have died in recent days. authorities of warned that a new heat wave could was in the crisis. the death toll from monday's earthquakes in turkey and syria is approaching 20000 turkish president reggie tie a better one has defended his government's response. despite mounting criticism, saying that preparing for a disaster of this scale is practically impossible. international rescue teams have joined local emergency crews in the worst affected areas, but hope of finding more survivors is fading. dw correspondent julia han is in the southern turkish town of kershawn. well right now we're witnessing a very specific rescue operation where you can see their right behind me used to be

a multi story residential building, a home for several families. but this building just collapsed in an instant when the quake hit on monday. and now several days later, rescues here found signs of life. they found a woman trapped under this giant pile of rubble alive. her name is zayna rescues. here, a joined by a special team from germany, from an n g o cold i s a r international search and rescue germany. they brought special search and rescue dogs and technical equipment and they actually managed to localize. they know, under this pile of rubble, they are in contact with her. they know where she is. they have provided her with food and water and now they are working to retrieve her from under the rubble. and i can tell you everybody around here, the rescues friends, her sister is here. they are desperately waiting for that moment to happen. we are

all waiting for those moments to happen. julia. tell us that is enough of that expertise and that equipment reaching the places where it's actually need. well, we have a met teams actually from very different countries. mexico hungry, the u. k as well. german team is here now today's so dozens of countries have pledged aid and that aid is coming in. but you have to really look at the scale of this humanitarian crisis. it's massive. thousands of buildings just like this. have collapsed across the reeds are more than 13000000 people have been affected. the turkish government says it has send in more than a 100000 rescue workers. but the impression we get here that it is just not enough. we really hear from people that they have received no help

or help came in late, that they had to start digging for their loved ones with their bare hands local rescue. as volunteers, many, many volunteers have joined the atmosphere. they tell us that the efforts are very poorly organized and that makes it very, very difficult at the moment. but we have definitely seen a coming in on the way when we were in the car. and on our way here, we actually saw lots of trucks loaded with food, for example, because they're just so many things people here in the region need right now. and what you make of the government's response. it's defense in saying that it couldn't prepare for a disaster this scale. well, it's a natural natural disaster that is of course true. but what we hear in terms of criticism now is of course the question. how could it, how could it come to this? how come that some buildings have what's which goes the tremor while others have just collapse like card houses. so there are lots of criticism in

towards, you know, building standards and building safety standards. accusations that the government has not implemented them, that they have not been watching that process very closely. and that also explains a part that explains why people are angry here in the region and why this is causing yeah, that is putting the government of present ad one under pressure right now, causing so much great w. johan, thank you very much for joining us with the latest that we'll be following the progress. are you in 8 convoy carrying urgently need a humanitarian assistance as arrived in northwest and syria. it's the 1st since the earthquake struck. 8 organizations have struggled to bring supplies into rebel held north syria, which is under a blockade by the government o, burdened with grief and living in harsh conditions. holly, my mood is staying at this makeshift camp and aleppo province. he says he lost many

of his family members to the earthquake. his surviving daughter is now a widow with 2 children, led the law whole. my kids died under the rubble. warlock situation is horrible. like, you know, when we're here in a camp fair? no 10 screen, there's nothing. the situation is bad. i wish i'd also died with my kids. it would have been better manually molded when of organizations in the country are stretching their resources over a decade of war had already left millions dependent on aid, especially in the rebel control northwest. in the aftermath of the earthquake, there is even less assistance to go round. local aid worker say they are unable to secure the basic needs of all survivors. i'm not just sort of odds dunphy. we're finding it difficult to secure chance food water, mia and even mattresses financially. and in this winter it was minus 6 degrees

celsius day over gone. it's very cold. this disaster needs the support of nations. yanine. ha, that individual initiative alone and not enough. i'm getting not thought of him. i am sure, however, that in ed live, the situation is equally grim. many have had to brave poor weather conditions. lemme and him now when we how as loud gave, how can we sleep avionic obs very cold. well, and if not, things are bad and it's raining on us and here. oh, wouldn't tell us that we want help with that. we want someone to help us men of our lives. we have only god. there's a lot of cool did and but we didn't feel warm yesterday and the children were freezing. let, let them know that he thought that allegedly, as the demand for eat skyrockets, the pressure is mounting on damascus. which is said to be obstructing aid. while international agencies are criticized for not acting fast enough,

syrians feel they have no choice, but to wait. i asked ya chance shortly, ceo of the marron foundation to tell us more about the 1st 8 convoy to make it through. we have to be clear about this. i mean this sir, and why you 6 big trucks where it's casualty ford there at craig, so basically doesn't have any earthquake corresponding equipment. doesn't have really 1st aid equipment. it's just been scheduled before. yes. it's sorry it's needed. but there's nothing, nothing yet came after the crate or came belonging to the quick. how can syrians hope to even help or save their relatives, their friends who are stuck under rubble when all they have is their, their hands to dig through the rubble. none of the heavy lifting equipment and none of the international expertise when it comes to finding earthquakes, survivors, you know, it's very sad, not even the heavy lifting equipment, no equipment at all the forward thinking like why,

but they find like the small for farming for where they can find and in many cases by their hands going through their relative houses and they dig in the ground and they calling for everybody's help. so you always see. so the society themes, of course, including our organization i worked for, they going from door to door asking for people to support and they not equipment. and i'm talking about the, i mean in the area where it's surviving, it's 12 years worth. so basically, i'm just, we get good equipment, our normal equipment, we're not going to be able to help more people. this have been the defense weiss have mentioned that they wouldn't give up so on because it's the entree bank and they cannot work anymore. hoping to find people that was young son, shockley, theo, of the moran foundation from ghazi and tape in turkey. this is the w news is a reminder of our main stories ukrainian president thought of miss zalinski. his renewed his appeal to join the e. u in brussels,
