the war and the lots being during all this pure and last week you stay with us zalinski use the occasion to us, you need us to continue urging washington to involve, keep in peace negotiations with moscow. you need to agree with savanski that an agreement to stop the fighting without security guarantees for ukraine wouldn't to, to russia from attacking again. the summit statement, e u d does have endorsed, says a ceasefire, must be part of a process that leads to a full peace agreement. it adds that any agreement must be accompanied by quote, robust, and credible security guarantees for ukraine of henry's prime minister, big the old aunt didn't faxed the statements, but all the data is have committed to working together to both the goods defense they discussed. easing the brock street budget dead rules, so member states can increase their military spending. today. history is being written. we're coming out of this european council,

very determined to insure europe security and to act with the scale the speed and the result that the situation demands. i presented the re on your plan today to the lead us a plan to give you up the military capability that it needs to face today. sweats, it coach, mobilize up to $800000000000.00 euros, and it is about taking more responsible on our shoulders for our own security. this is a moment of indication for francis presidency menu mccullin's who forgive, has been urging europe to build the capacity to defend itself without relying on nature and the united states. fonts is now considered in protecting european allies with its new pos know, could you pull position to propose to open a strategic conversation with the member states that are interested in making progress on the subject? the more i don't say so, so sure you,

it's an option that would have been unthinkable under the decades of transatlantic cooperation. dw corresponding jack park has more from brussels on what this summit means, the ukrainian security. what, what's interesting with this is this is this something is really being about your own defense, but some of that will trickle down into supporting ukraine because the more they procure weapons, the more they'll be able to give to ukraine, should they want to. we have rolled them, is the landscape the ukrainians president here today. he, he won't have really gotten that much out of what he wanted a part from the big strong show of support. and that's what he needs at the moment off to that k of take meetings in the oval office with the vice president and the president of the united states. there is one other important issue that's been going on here at the summit today. friends, president and manuel my crohn riled the russians up by saying the french nuclear weapons could be used to protect all the european countries that he could sort of

put for the protective shield. the russian said that that would be seen as a direct sign of aggression, a threat to them. but we heard from the manual micro, on the french president off to the summit, he said that he had to have discussions with other e u leaders. and the some of them were very much interested in that proposal. doesn't use drug power to in brussels. so landscape will travel to saudi arabia next week to hotels with the waste on ending the war with russia is expected to meet president trump special on voice, the woodcock affairs letter from the landscape. the trump contained an apology of the round last week, and the white house trumpets being pressuring savanski to make a peace. still going. pausing us military agents suspending intelligent sharing, he says he will soon decide whether to revoke the legal status of almost 250000 ukrainians who were given refuge from the war and the weights. 1000000000 dw, as washington correspondent bank. i mean, as of, as well that has more details on the totes planned in saudi arabia,

a boast allegations, ukraine and the u. s. has consent that they will hold talks in saudi arabia, ukrainian presidency. lensky is said that he would travel to that country on monday . and we've, we've been hearing here from the wide housing special envoy, steve witt calls. this meeting, could take place either and re add or in get out. both sides are still coordinating it detail. so the conversations will happen in the same country where representatives from the white house met their counterparts from brush are we all probably remember those pictures and the signing of this mineral deal between ukraine and the us is still in the and it's not clear what promises washington mates to keep, for example, on what will happen with weapons deliveries or intelligence sharing if they would actually be resumed once. there is a deal, so there was supposed to be side last friday. of course, with a president lensky is visit

a to dc. so we might also have some more information after this meeting between the us and between the ukrainian delegations audio rate and what about the status of all the ukrainians who fled to the you, wes? so that's that several rooms today there was a report by a reuters, a president. trump was asked on that when he started several executive orders today on a decision on whether he would revoke the temporary legal status for around $240000.00 ukrainians. and then left the country following the russian invasion in the war. and he said that his administration is still planning to take that stab. there's no information yet, but the press secretary of the white house, kevin levitt pushed back on these reports saying that no decisions have been made but e b y has actually goes through with them that move with a be a stunning reversal, a of the welcome ukrainians that were received on the presidential biden's

administration and potentially put them on a fast track. it to a dissertation. it's one piece of bad news off to the next for ukraine and ukrainians. benjamin. thank you very much for your analysis from washington. so let's look at some of the other stories making news. mexico's president county of st. bone has hailed what she called an excellent and respectful phone call with the waste president, donald trump. following the cold, the white house agreed to a full week postponement to be import time, of course on exit, and it was the white house latest said the boys extend it to some canadian the impulse peggy vatican has shed an audio message from ailing pope francis with a crowd of faithful in some eaten square. the bonus thanked people for that price in his 1st address, since he was hospitalized 3 weeks ago, with w. monia fights were disrupted in florida and the caribbean officer. the

failure of a space ex scholarship test flight. the roll exploded just minutes of the list of videos posted on social media or p is to show flaming debris from the space from january scholarship test point also ended in an explosion. north korea is closing its borders to west and tourists again, just weeks after it began letting them in. last month, west and tourists were able to visit for the 1st time since no 3, a sealed its borders when covered heat in 2022 or off, right is a travel to north korea is canceled until further notice. it's on clear what led to the abrupt change journalist gene h. lee has come at north korea extensively and she has more on what's going on these tories for the 1st western tourist to get into the country in more than 5 years. so it was a baby step on the part of north korea to allow them in, and really a strong sign that the country was starting to open up. you know,

we did see russian tours in the country last year, but this was the 1st time we saw some british tours as trailing tours in the country. but i should point out that they were only allowed into a very special place, which is ross on which is in the far northeast. and it's what we call a special economic zones. one area that the north koreans can kind of use as a testing ground. it's a little bit of a special area. so north koreans course, there are, they are on a, for economic purposes or are a custom to dealing with foreigners. so it was seen as a, as a, a good step toward the reopening of north korea. but that might also be a reason why they're stepping back. maybe it was too much, too soon at a time when they are clearly unsure about re engaging with the west, unsure about having prying eyes on the ground. certainly devastating for the tour companies that have been waiting for this moment. but as i said, when the announcement about these tours came up, was just hold you horses and wait because you never know with north korea,

somebody is going there has been going there for many years. never know until you were literally on the flight. just killing young or on that print opinion or to north korea, whether you will be able to get in. things can change at the very last week. you mentioned the waste and those who were allowed to pass on. do we know how they were received there? and if they were able to talk to regular north koreans, i did see some reports they did come back with some some insight into what their trips were like. and those would been to north korea before did say that it seemed to be more restrictive. then it wasn't in the past that there every movement was watched and controlled. that is not unusual when it comes to worst in north korea. they are usually on a very orchestrated trip, but usually there are moments when you can interact with the locals. i think they saw a little bit of that. there were some reports that they were surprised by how dilapidated

some of the structures were, and i'm not surprised at all. the last 5 years has been very difficult for north korea because on top of the border closures where they the country did their, she did shut that border. that meant that a lot of goods did not come in either. there was the, it was people who couldn't come through as well. not only this foreigners, but also north koreans couldn't come through that border, bringing all the things that they usually bring from abroad. so it's been a tough time for north korea over the past 5 years. and i think on top of that the sanctions uh yeah, i think that's something that they do not feel comfortable with foreigners see, they are not comfortable with their own people. seeing widely with the state of the, the country as they are very good at controlling the narrative. and that's part of the reason why they restrict the flow of people in and out of the country. and so what we see in their state media is very cultivated and curated view of the country . and so when you open up the country, it does mean that you lose

a little bit of control of that narrative. and so that may be part of the concern that they have about letting in foreigners we're going to go and then tell the rest of the world what's happening inside the country. and just briefly, the allowing russians to pyongyang was that a sweet, no for rushes later. oh, absolutely, i don't know, but a sweetener, but it is a source of income that king german is certainly considering as he tries to build this relationship with russia. one of the few friends that they have right now, north korea does have some site that they're trying to build up as potential tourist sites. and right now, chinese tours and russian course are the ones that they feel more comfortable with, who they also believe will understand how to fall into line a little bit when it comes to the messaging up. so i do think the north branch are looking at those as potential avenues for a little bit of income. and those are towards that they might feel a little bit more comfortable with. but let's see. there is a, the canyon marathon, which is set to take place the spring. we'll see if that goes forward. i always

have to remind the americans, us citizens, that they are under very strict restrictions when it comes to traveling to north korea. and it comes with both ethical and security concerns. so anyone thinking about north gray has to take all of this into consideration. okay, we'll have to leave it that jean h lee. thank you very much for the insights. really interesting stuff. and he's a reminder of our top story, this. how here on the w use, the lead is have health crisis talks to boost your opinion defenses in the wake of washington's give it away from its trans atlantic partners in ukraine. some of the table most a week after heated was between us president donald trump is declining and president, lot of me savanski at the white house stay with us. they told me your business is up up next and asked if a you can compete with china as investments in european bio projects. i've been for
