. but it wasn't for lack of items on the agenda. the wine ukraine was one of the main issues discussed. one of particular importance to the u commission president. it is a horrible reminder of the darkest times of our history. what's happening there to the port children. this is a war crime. we know today of 16200 children that have been de portrait. only 300 have returned so far in partnership with the ukrainians . prime minister, maria kent, i have launched an into an initiative aiming at bringing back these children that have been a doctor to by russia. e leaders and doors to plan to st. ukraine. 1000000 rounds of ammunition over the next 12 months to help the country counter russian aggression. did his new april on like, this is no really important because we need a lot of weapons and ammunition for, for ukraine. and that is

a large number of and you must do everything to ramp up production r as quickly as possible, or reduce, show more canoes from the polish here. the phasing out of c o. 2 emitting vehicles by 2035. and with it, the likely ending of the combustion engine was not on the agenda, but a riff between germany and the u commission over the role, so called e field smith play was nevertheless palpable among the leaders. mom, on the other hand, the topic of green combustion engines i. e fuels and it was a topic that was supported with a great deal of cruel and good will of france. and i also supports his position, which i believe is an important signal for us that we will continue to remain technology and innovation friendly and final exam. their hopes, this issue there be resolved soon. all of shaw it is expected to talk about the next possible issue. francis push for nuclear power to be recognized more widely escreen energy. at this meeting with him on a macro on some a day to and t w's. jack park is covering the summit for us in brussels. he told

me more earlier about the new military support for you. crime. yeah, they've confirmed their decision to send a 1000000 artillery, ryans to ukraine by the end of the next 12 months. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski joined this summit by video cool, and ukrainian government has been consistently pressing on the european union to provide as much ammunition as possible the government. that is saying that while they have a lot of hardware and while they can continue to fight the war, they still need ammunitions. what the european union's done is put forward a plan to send that ammunition, but also to replenish their own stockpiles. because as they've been sending weaponry to ukraine, they've also seen their own depleting and they're worried about their own defense. he also could for modern fights and jess to be sent. now that's something that would be each individual member say of the european union's decision. but that is the demand, and there's a lot of questions about that. ukranian, president of a lot of miss zalinski joined the summit via video link,

tell us what he had to say. yeah, we know he joined from a train. he also said that the situation was desperate on the ground and that the fighting is intensifying. he was really reiterating the call that the ukrainians have made time and time again that they just need ammunition from their european partners. interestingly, as the summit wrapped up, we also heard from you. yes. on the lion, the european commission president, she announced that she plans to hold a conference, trying to get ukrainian children who been deported to russia during the invasion back into ukraine. about 16200 odds are still there and haven't been returned any 300 have been returned. she said, and this is something that is gaining a lot more international attention after. so the international criminal court arrive a nice or an arrest warrant for the russian president vladimir putin on the charges of the war crime of deporting children. so there is a sort of political focus shifting towards that and that would have been welcomed

by the ukrainian president as well. jack, another big issue has been a just over the blocks plan size out of c o. 2 missing cars. has there been any movement on that issue? the hasn't quite yet. this is be the sort of underlying bubbling issue is not on the official a gender of the european council here. but we know that the german chancellor shows says that he thinks he can get an agreement that e fuel. so fuels that have a sort of byproduct is produced from electricity that they, they can continue to make cause that would service those views. but not fossil fuels. now the french specifically have been up in arms about this. they thought they had an agreement to phase out the production of combustion engine. cars by 2035. and then i pressing for that nuclear demand francis heavily reliant on you killer to for those to be more considered in that new killer cans could be considered a more of a green energy as you tries to become carbon neutral. now we know that this bust up

is happening and we know that on friday morning it's suggested that a manual micron, the french president and allah shows the german german chancellor. i'm going to sit down and discuss this. the other member states are watching carefully. they're a bit annoyed, frankly, that they're not being involved in this discussion that the 2 big member states of the european union appear to be the ones deciding on this. this does look like a big bust up going forward. exhaust on the w's jack, patrick and brussel, jack thankfully will sang in europe, and france has seen a 9th day of nationwide protests against president emanuel microns, controversial pension reforms in some cities, marches turned violent. can see these peaches from boy where protest is said, the town hall on fire destroying the wooden door and its main entrance. more than a 1000000 people joined protests across frances unions. cold for mass walk,

else. at the heart of the french capital. thousands had taken to the store for yet another day, trying to pressure their president in manuel my call to dropped the reform, which would raise the minimum age of retirement from $62.00 to $64.00. and the crowd, many are still decades away from retirement. this movement represents human rights. like it's a philosophy of light. do we want to work? and so where 64 are not, you know, and i just do not but not all. the protests had such a relaxed atmosphere with police continued to detain protesters with hundreds. now arrested, since the demonstrations broke out. some $5000.00 ride police deployed in paris,

firing tear gas into the crowds. was hollow, she's got lots of it will be here until the reform is removed. we're not tired, we're not running out of steam. and i think it's going to get a little bit tougher, but at each mobilization will be there, including every day and even in the evening at night in the morning. we have to block everything. whatever happens, protestors say they are not backing down his around up of some other world news headlines. north korea says it's tested and under water nuclear attack drawings as well as cruise missiles. young young is carried out of spite of weapons tests in recent days. in response to joint south korea, u. s. military training, exercise german rail operator, georgia bon has canceled all of its long distance trains ahead of day long strides

to transport strides across germany. regional ral routes are also expected to be heavily effected. germany's biggy busiest airport frankfurt and munich have scrapped all passenger flights as well. ton now to talk about tick tock and not because the see all of the popular video sharing off his face. the grilling by us lawmakers who are boy that the app, which is chinese island, is passing on uses data to the chinese government at could be a serious potential national security threat. questions also focused on whether some content on tick tock is harmful, especially to teenagers. everyone is show year and the ceo of tick tock to day. i'm super excited to announce more at ease on the app. then defending it. c e o shows e chew faced a hostile grilling before a congressional committee. lawmakers called the app a threat to ordinary americans and to national security. and the chinese communist

party is able to use this as a tool to manipulate america as a whole. we do not trust tick tock will ever embrace american values. values for freedom, human rights and innovation, tick tock has repeatedly chosen the path for more control, more surveillance, and more manipulation. your platform should be banned as well. what lawmakers really wanted to know was how close the chinese government is to take talks, management roles and show repeatedly denied that he was under pressure from beijing . they met a congressman. since i've been a ceo of this company, i have not had any discussions with chinese government officials. the app is owned by the chinese company bite dance. critics say that beijing could force take talk to hand over information on millions of americans. something that take talk denies . congressman, i have seen no evidence that the chinese government has access to that data. they

have never asked us. we have not provided let you know i've asked that i find that actually preposterous. i have 1st looked in, i have seen no evidence of this happening and in order to assure everybody here and all uses, our commitment is to move to data in into the united states, to be stored on american soil by an american company overseen by american personnel . so the risk will be similar to any government going to an american company asking for data moving us user data to the us as part of project, texas a plan that tick tock says we'll keep the data out of china as reach. but lawmakers seem unconvinced by shows reassurances if it does get banned, a $150000000.00 uses in the us would lose access to the short video app. winning over the u. s. government is proving harder than getting more americans on take talk. well, british music legends, deepest might

a back with their 1st album in 6 years. it's also their 1st since the death of keyboardist and co founder adie fletcher. the albums dominant theme is mortality. after losing fletcher, the bands retained was anything but certain depeche mode for the 1st time as a g o. b a y a new song and a call to grab life by both hands. ah, we decided it was better for us to focus on music and or, you know, not, not just like, whoa in that would be in our misery. that misery being the sudden,

death of andy fletcher, fletcher. nearly 10 months ago. he was the keyboard player, the 3rd brain, co founder and kid of the band for 40 long years. his band mates are still deeply shocked at his passing bowers say this flesh was the biggest support of us and the band martin to push mode. everything about it, he, you know, it's very jarring and you know, your own mortality and everything. so if people around you and friends, family, you know, you start to think about a lot more melancholy as part of depeche mode brand. but so his carrying on this time for fletch, the new album's title memento mori, a nod to their full and friend. but while death and grief may be all over new release,

the band are keeping going. ah, that edition. it's out there day. it's clear that even after 4 decades and the last of a beloved friend, they just can't get enough with the w businesses that things are going ah sure what it is, a homework of civilization,
