of the the on of the members we will be a to find screen side every step of the way, far as long as it takes since the start of the war for 1000000 ukrainians have phones with huge in our union. and i want to say to them that they are as well come now as they were in the those faithful 1st weeks,

we haven't sure that they have access to housing, health care, the job market, and much more honorable members. this was the europe answering the call of history. and so i am proud to announce that the commission will propose to extend our temporary protection to ukrainians in the european union. our supports to ukraine will endure the we have provided 12000000000 this year alone to help pay wages and pensions to help keep hospitable schools and other surfaces running. and through our accept proposal, we are ramping up ammunition production to help match ukraine's immediate needs. but we are also looking further ahead and this is why we have proposed an

additional $50000000000.00 euros for over 4 years for investment and reforms. this will help build ukraine's future to rebuild a model and prosperous country. and that future is clear to see this house has set it out loud. the future, few crane is in our union. the future of the west and balkans is in arguing. the future of most of us is in our union, the and i know how important the e u perspective is for so many people in georgia on the members. i started by speaking of europe responding to the call of history. and history is now calling us to work on completing our union

in a world where some are trying to pick off countries, one by one. we cannot afford to leave our fellow, your pains behind in a world west size and weight mattress. it is clearly in europe strategic interest to complete our union. but beyond the politics and geo politics of it, we need to picture what is at stake. we need to set out a vision for an successful in document. a union complete with over 500000000 people living in a free democratic and prosperous union. and union complete was young people who can live, study and work in freedom and union complete with vibrant democracies in which traditional res i independent or positions are respected. and journalists are

respected because the role of the loan fundamental rights pop always and will always be the foundation of our union in current and in future member states. and this is why the commission has made the rules and all reports the key priority . we know we're closely with member states to identify progress and concerns and make recommendations for the year ahead. this has in short accountability in front of this house and national parliaments. it has allowed for dialogue between members states and it is delivering results. ideally that we can do the same for future member states. and this is why i'm very happy to

announce that we will open the floor reports to those expressions. countries who get up to speed even foster this will place them on an equal, 5014 with member states and support them in their reform efforts. and it was help ensure that our future is a union of freedom rights and values for all the kind of a member state on the members. then the next sentence is this is on our shed and interest all the meant member states and commission business in our shed interest. think of just think about the great enlargement of 20 years ago.

we called it the european day of well comes and it was a triumph of determination and hope over the burdens of the past. and in the 20 years since we have seen an economic success story which has improved the lives of millions, i want us to look forward to the next your pin day of welcomes and the next economic success stories. i know this is not an easy road. accession is merits based and the commission will always defend this principle to takes hard work and leadership. but there is already a lot of progress. we have seen the great strides ukraine has already made, since we grant them candidate status. and we've seen the determination of, of

a candidate countries to reform. so owner of the members, it is now time for us to match this determination. and that means thinking about how we get ready for a complete to, to union. we need to move past old, buying a re debates about enlargement. this is not a question of deepening integration. oh, whitening the union. we can and we must do both to give us the geo political weight and the capacity to act. and this is what our union has always done. each wave of enlargement came was a political deepening. we went from coal and steel to us for economic intro gauge integration. and after the form of the iron curtain, we turned an economic project into a true union of peoples and states. i believe that the next,

the lodgement must also be a catalyst for progress. we have started to build a health union at $27.00. and i believe we can finish it at 30 plus as we have started to build a european defense union by $27.00. i'm convinced we can finish it at 30 plus. we have proven that we can be a jew political union and show that we can move fast when we are united. and i believe that team europe also works at 30 plus unable member. i know this house believes the same and the european parliament has always been one of the main drivers of european integration. it has been sold throughout the decades. and it is once again today. and i will always support this house and all of those one to reform the european union to make it work better for

citizens. and yes, that means including a european convention entry to change if and where it is needed, the but we cannot do and we should not wait for 3 to change to move ahead with announcement and union 5th fund lodgement can be achieved faster. that means answering practical questions about how a union of over 30 countries will work in practice. and in particular about our capacity to act. the good news is that with every enlargement, those who said it would make us less efficient were proven wrong. takes us 20, that takes the last few years. we agreed on next generation

e u. x 27. we agreed to buy a vaccines by 27. we agreed on sanctions and records time, also at $27.00. so we agreed to purchase natural gas, not only a $27.00, but already including ukraine, mold on serbia. so it can be done. but we need to look closer at each policy and see how they could be affected by allow trans union. and this is why the commission will start working on a series of pre enlargement policy reviews to see how each guerra might need to be adapted to a larger union. we will need to think about how our institutions would work for the problem and the commission would work. we need to discuss the future of our budget in terms of what the finances, how would finance it,

and how it is financed. and we need to understand how to ensure a credible security commitment in a world where the turns metro is more than ever. these are questions we must address today. if we want to be ready for tomorrow, at the commission will play its part. and this is why we will put forward our ideas to the lead us discussion on the belgium presidency. we will be driven by the believe that completing our here when you is the best investment in peace, security, and prosperity for all continent. so it is time for you to once again think big and right, our own destiny. the unable members victoria medina believed that it is our

collective duty to write a new story of europe. this is where europe stands today at a time and place where history is written, the future of our content and depends on the choices we make today. on the steps we take to complete our union. the people of europe one day union that stands up for them in the time of great power competition. but also one that protects and stands close to them as a partner and ally in the daily balance. and we will listen to that voice. if it matters to your opinions, it matches to your think again about the vision and the imagination of the young generation. i started my speech with it is the moment to show them

that we can build a continent where you can be who you are. love who you want a as high as you want. a continental reconciled with nature and leading the way on new technologies. a continent that is united in freedom and peace. once again, this is europe's moment to answer the call of history. long if you think the you have been watching live coverage of what's left on the lions state of the european union speech. it was a wide ranging speech. she was speaking for more than the hour,

more than an hour. and she used to cover a range of issues, she defended the use greenville and spoke about its environmental efforts. she focused on job creation competitiveness and spoke about gender equity. she talked about the threats and opportunities of a i, and she spoke about ukraine on the use ongoing support for its war against russia. and she ended her speech by cooling on e u. member states to think big and to write that destination more on what's your opinion, commission president was saying we can cross announce a d. w. 's brussels bureau chief alexandra phenomena who is standing by for us and straus. phillip, she was listening to the speech and example of tell us what are your main takeaways from us left from the lions address? what time did she strike i think that she struck a very positive tone. her message was we are strong so good that we can do do it.

we can meet any shell instead of flying ahead of us. and my main take away was also that a this sounded like and re election like a re election speech. of course, she didn't announce that she is ready to run again as the president of the european commission. but the energy she has shown of the goals that she presented uh, making to be a she is ready to take on the challenges and she's ready to address the many issues that was listed that she listed in her speech. so you've got the impression that she would like to stay on in her position and to continue the jump. of course we needs to wait for for official announcement, and it to unlikely that it's going to to come soon. but the whole impression of the speech was that, 1st of all, it is an optimistic speech that we can do it. but then of course that she is, uh,

she wants to be a person to stay on at the home of the european commission. that was at least my impression here. that's right. so i mean, just to remind all of you is this would be the, the last speech of her current to the president. and she was suddenly very focused . wasn't she on the, the, the achievements that have happened in the last 4 years, one of which and one of the 1st issues that she addressed was the use green deal. it's environmental assets. now this has been facing a lot of criticism from several sides. what does she say to can confront the green deals? critics? well, she emphasized how important it is to implement this a signature legislate legislative green deal. how important it is because of this deal is unmatched in envision because it is so crucial to meet future challenges

for the european industry to go through this screen transformation. at the same time, she drafted the, the many concerns that were expressed by her own political, a family, but the center, right? you are p and people's far to here and that you were p and a problem. and seeing that it's important to made sure that the industry is ready for this transition. and she announced that she's going to introduce a regular dialogue with the representatives of the industry to made sure that they will stay uh, you know, they can uh stay uh, competitive in the global competition. and she also announced that there will be a special invoice for small and medium companies. this is also addressing some concerns that it's important to strengthen the industrial base in the european union. he also thinks farmers for they jobs

a saying that it's also important to address their needs. so a take you that's all to give. of course, she's making clear, she's still being vigorous, advancing the green deal, but she's also emphasizing that she's ready to make sure that the deal will be implemented in the way that is good for, for economies, for businesses in europe, for farmers, for everyone. so nobody, it has to be a phrase because of what is coming in the future. absolutely, alexander, thanks so much for that. obviously we could keep talking for a long time cuz we covered so many issues, but we'll have to leave it the d. w. 's brussels bureau chief alexander the phenomenon summing up for us that was left on the line state of the union speech. thank you. alex hunter are right. moving on and the north korean lead to attend drunk and is holding talks with president. let them it puts in,

in the fall east of russia, they met as at the bus stop the cosmo dro space center to 10 said north crew was interested in rocket technology to develop its own space program the to lead, as well as the expect to discuss the supply of munition by north korea to russia, which is running short of supplies. it's invasion if you crane. this is kim tillman's, 1st 4 and trip. since the demick of a computing summit was originally expected to take place in vladivostok when i spoke to you and sharon is a reporter news, i'm cut with south korea is army rang tv and soul a little earlier i asked or if you thought it was significant, the 2 liters were missing instead of russian space center, the right, the mazda, she needs space launch, facility is in rest. as for eastern, i'm or region, and the spaceport is from 1000 kilometers from bloody boss. talk where many experts

and media outlets for speculated the top summit to take place, given that the it was where the 2 leaders met back in april of 2019. also it was worth a lot of recruiting. was that last participating in the east for an economic forum and going back to your question as to why it's significant that a russian space center has been chosen as their 1st need up location in years? well, it's because that it suggests that russia may hope north korea with its rocketry and satellite programs and tell me i'm has recently failed to put its own military spice satellite into orbit. so if lost count where to share it, satellite technology, north korea would be able to strengthen with its military capabilities. and this is likely, this scenario we'll be seeing because the russian news agency also report including saying, applying to rival how his new work cream count over king john then showing great interest in rocket technology and expanding the regina present in space booty. and also said he and his northwind counterpart, we'll talk about a wide array of relevant issues without haste,

specifically here. so we'll have to see what type of breakthroughs will be mentioned, but most likely in regards to military cooperation. right. not just hours before came a arrived. so the amazing as he was on his way, north korea slide to ballistic missiles towards the see what message is showing and trying to send tab. would you say? as you mentioned, there were to ballistic missiles, launched towards the sea without controlling even being in the country. and that's pipe worse on because you're in korea, we're taking it as a security threat. experts are mainly worried that it's kim improved and were to agree to strengthen their military cooperation in this type of geo political tension. we could also be seeing a possible 3 way naval troll with china and that was already mentioned before in july. and as you mentioned, the physical military threats have already be seen just hours, hours ahead of the summit, nor create a part to short range for listed missiles, as well as joint chiefs of staff said the 2 missiles were launched at 11 43 am and 11 53 am today,

korea time both. we're flying some 650 kilometers each from north korea, so not region. and now, green authorities are definitely on the lookout in full readiness stands because they are now closely cooperated with the united states to see what can be happening forward, especially during the tasks with can go in and prove it was report for an n k u n. sion speaking to us earlier from so now thousands of people have been killed in catastrophic flooding in libya. the international federation of red cross and red crescent society says around $10000.00 people are missing. stone, daniel hit libya, often barreling across the mediterranean. it cause floods which swept away entire neighborhoods in eastern coastal areas. the destruction is west and don't know what to dams collapsed, wiping out a course of the city, the east libya terry administrate puts down his death toll at more than $5300.00 but relief f. it's all being complicated by the fact that libya is internationally

no generally heard that the dam had burst, and water had flooded the area which had people were asleep. and no one was ready. crumbling infrastructure and political divisions with rival factions controlling different parts of the country have made libya particularly vulnerable and official from the eastern administration who visited the city said as much as 25 percent of their now had disappeared. meanwhile, libya's internationally recognized government based in trip. we don't play the need for international aid, even though doesn't control the affected region. we had to postpone all demands for assistance in wisconsin with the exception of crucial cases. we sort of when we, when we said we don't need food, water medicine or even manpower. and that's what we need

to specialist. is it, we need help for treating bodies from the see how to do it. and do, besides, if we spoke to some countries who will help us with the equipment search under the rubble, while several countries, including germany, have offered aid. but then to divided country, there's so many obstacles in the way of getting help to those in need. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world and the ukranian, this hack on a shipyard in the crime in port city of. so that's the poll, as close to fly the damage to ships and injured the 24 people, russian officials say the blaze was caused by a missile attack. the crime in peninsula was annexed by russia in 2014. he says it intends to take it back. a 5 full my us police offices are now facing federal charges over the murder of an african american man. time nichols died of to be
