as hope fade to finding survivors. days after the disaster. and north korea's military celebrates its 75th birthday leader kim jong own, reviewing the reclusive states nuclear arsenal. and one of the largest parades ever young gangs increasingly making washington and the west concern will tell you why. oh, lou, i'm raghav is good to have you with us on this thursday, ukraine's president zelinski has answered or has renewed rather his appeal for his country to join the european union. he told d you leaders meeting in brussels to day that europe will only be at peace once russia is defeated. and once ukraine has become a full member of the european union, zalinski strip to brussels, kept off a busy 2 days of diplomacy,

in which he urged european allies to keep the military and the economic aid flowing to keys. images for the history books, president zalinski and the you parliaments, president met sola, standing side by side to demonstrate that ukraine is part of the european family. it is this family and its value. so lensky emphasized in his address that the people of ukraine defend every day on the battlefield. sir massey of robin, this is our europe. not these are our rules. this is our way of life. it no grain him for ukraine. it's away wholly away to its home slash this whole dormer zalinski priest, the chamber for its early backing of you. kennedy status. will ukraine pointing out that this support motivated his country to be strong and to stay the course? president lensky. speech was her powerful and it was moving the

fact that he spoke with such character and passion for joining our family here in the european union. we have been walking this path for the past year, and there is only so much you can add on except for solidarity and our feeling that we belong together. and this is the feeling that we all felt to day solidarity with your queen. that was what you opinion leaders wanted to demonstrate as well when they came together in brussels for they were meeting with the ukranian president. tougher sanctions on russia and further arms deliveries were at the top of their agenda with zalinski once again asking for western made fighter jets for his pilots numb shibel visibly mantra for us to survive. we need these weapons. would. that is what i'm talking about socially. me was that are positive signals concerning the respect of weapons. roy, we've got positive signals that we heat each other. awesome. we all know that i

really want the signals to become concrete words. so can ali, but a torrijos concurrent is all hello and she made clear that his country also needs a concrete date for the start of accession talks with the eel, of course we needed. and this year and this year child, when i see this year i'm in this year. i mean there's ah, 2202 to 3. i feel i feel really, really responsibility at that unanimity in the repute jostle with regard with but despite all the laughs and a lighter tone, ukraine is likely to have a long way to go to join the block. it's a merit base process. the commission president funder lion said, not one said to rigid timelines for the lensky however, ukraine's e. u membership is not a distant dream, but a future that is certain. his visit to brussels has seen a lot of good will, and promises to provide more military support. but the ukraine and leader made it

clear that what his country needs right now is not promises. but swift action i want to bring in our brussels corresponded jack there. he has been following this summit for his jacket. we heard it from zalinski yesterday in london. and in paris, the big message there more weapons, more fighter jets, or please send us fighter jet. what's been the message there in brussels? yes. same pretty much he's been telling the leaders that they want those fight to jazz. whether he gets them is quite another thing, really. those demands of pretty much directed to france and germany and probably even more to the french president manual my chrome. but there is reluctance in the european union to send those fight to jazz. the british government, a nice when he was in london, that they would train fighter pilots, ukrainian fights of pilots. but what he wants is those jazz now, it's only recently in the last few weeks. so say that the europeans agreed to send tanks, a sort of re exporting ban on sending german made tanks that had been exported to other countries. there was

a ban on them then export them again. but that was released mean in latitude tanks and other tanks have also gone in to ukraine. now that was a big win for the ukrainians. i think that ever since then there's been a bit of reluctance on the fight to j issue, but you can bet your bottom dollar that zalinski was telling the leaders when he was here at the summit earlier today that he wants those jets and what can be said about m e u unity of these, of the ukraine now, and we know that weapons are being sent, but how i guess how solid is this solidarity? well, there's been a warm welcome for him, both in the european parliament, whether a cheers and clapping for his speech. he was clapped as he arrived here at the summit of leaders. it's been a clear symbolism of such a show of support for the ukrainians. and it's important to remember that this ton from ukraine, away from the kremlin. and you know that the people of ukraine and the government of ukraine is desiring isn't just to become independent. they want to be an

e u member state, and that's why we heard him say they want the beginning of the talks. they became a candidate country and rapid fire time. but they want the beginning of the tools to actually become a fully fledged member of the european union to start before the end of the year. that is a very, very quick time frame in the, in the sort of mechanisms of brussels that would allow a country to join us on the line. the european commission president. she did say that she's about to propose a 10th friend of sanctions against russia. so that was in progress as well, so that from the ukrainian point of view, they want the, the screw to be turned on the kremlin. and especially the economic pressure to be put on putin in a way that they see could effect putin in order to bring an end to the invasion in the wall. jack, let me ask you before we run out of time, but what about the topic of migration? i know that that has also been high of the agenda this meeting. yet the 2070 you leaders on i really getting into the nitty gritty of that. in fact, the summit here in brussels was actually specifically specially called for the

european union to internally deal with that issue. the austrians have proposed that e u. money, so brussels money should be used to bill fence is on the external border of the european union to stop the flows of migrants that are expected to come potentially over the next few months. they also want to talk about returning the people that end to the european union that don't have a right to be here back to their countries of origin or to other countries. is an extremely thorny issue amongst the u member stays. and i think that having quite a big battle within that summit post this so lensky that its night, he w jack there corresponded in brussels. jack is always thinking the death toll for mondays. earthquakes in turkey, and syria has surpassed 20000. and there is mounting criticism of the turkish governments response to de turkish president rich, apply a peer to one. he gave a response saying that preparing for a disaster of this scale is practically impossible. international rescue teams have
