we have continued to report a lot about russia from the latin capital regal, where i am right now, and also from other places, including germany, w. moscow bureau chief, uri rush it over there. thank you very much. you're prisons. king charles has emphasized the good ties between the u. k and germany. these become the 1st reigning monarch to address the german parliament, looking also visitor to the military unit and turn the organic dairy farm and cheese maker. standing ovations for the king alternating between german and english britons charles the 3rd praised the british german friendship in a historic speech that frequently drew laughter from lawmakers. esther looked julie, a gift as a relative of course, there is also rivalry others on. i'm thinking in particular of the encounters between our football teams who spoke

with that in mind. it was very special that the english women's soccer team, the lionesses, became european champions by beating germany items. the gig and deutschland are rude for most of route. but he also came with a serious political message. speaking of reconciliation and the need to learn from the past with europe. security once again threatened by russia's war of aggression against ukraine is very rude developed. her list took the world has not passively stood by isn't there should, even as we abhor the hauling scenes of destruction, we can take heart from our unity shop in defense of ukraine, of peace and freedom. the title,

coming out of europe. the could be used for security and for military purposes. for instance, like the ubs observation and, and, and looking at the population of china. so sort of controlling the population that something that he's really concerned about. she made us a lot of sweeping statements in that, in that speech. the question is how hard to actually be when she meets chinese officials in beijing coming up. jack power, they're reporting from brussels for us. let's take a look now at some of the other news making headlines around the world today. it is $31.00. people have been killed in a fairy accident in the philippines. officials say the boat carrying some 250 people called fire of the southern island of brazil on, with some people drowning after jumping ship in panic. rescuers, a still searching for several passengers were unaccountable. at least 8 hindu
