it was such that you can even see it from the moon, and certainly from brussels, it must be said thatungary is the homeland of not only the rubik's cube, but also george soros, about whom he does not forget, but to seize the naughty player. it doesn't work out that the warban battle. with one of his worst enemies and supporter globalism. so far, it has been lost by the last in a clean, but the destroyer of countries does not like to receive completely and what combinations will be invented in the future. it remains only to guess. it will definitely not be possible to claim to become the same integral part of the new eurasian union as, for example, belarus. but what hungary needs for its own survival is to cooperate most actively with this space. it is obvious that we have considered three major blocks of hungarian life. today. this is one of the most distinctive countries of the western peace, after all, with a large brethren. and even she manages to remain sovereign and with her voice the diplomats of belarus and russia are sure that the visit to budapest is a good signal.

what's gonna happen next in brussels? it's a pretty complicated picture you painted there. well, plenty of discussion and perhaps debate to be expected behind closed doors. we know that european union diplomats from the 27 members will be meeting and discussing this in the coming days. next week, there's a meeting of european union foreign ministers and following that meeting of european union agriculture ministers. but before that, we might hear more from the european union's executive the european commission, because the commission has acknowledged that there are problems being created, market distortions that have been complained about by poland and these other countries bordering ukraine. and in order to respond to that, back in march, the european commission unveiled a support package around $56000000.00 euros as around $62000000.00 us dollars to essentially try and compensate those farmers. or those agriculture are actors which are seeing prices decrease that are therefore taking a hit to their industry. no, the european commission says 8 is looking into a further sup

that's why the moderators of the conflict can be brussels and that's why the activity of brussels todayboth within its own country and on the international arena , tried to somehow declare today. a state that already today understands that the moderator can be on the one hand on the side of the same russia, er, china, and on the other hand, the state in america will only join this side of ukraine, only the united states of america, and of course macron tries to at least consider himself a third party in this situation a force with which it would be better for china to have relations because china still does not want a confrontation and it does not have such big uh-huh problems with the same european union as it has with the same united states of america as geographical as well as economic yes, here are the questions of the same russia , in particular, remember how russia and the european union got along perfectly for 20 years, you just have России выпадеть из этой игры, so russia must be replaced by china, which is also quietly stroking russia and belarus, that's all geography yes and t

the finish flag is raised us, the alliance welcomes it's the 31st member at a ceremony in brussels. ah, i'm pablo foley, us welcome to the program. former us president donald trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in court in new york. trump showed little emotion entering the court building before denying 34 kinds of falsifying business records. the charges are linked to hush money payments, allegedly made to 3 people. trump was into court in a motorcade from his trump tower complex in manhattan. he's now heading back to his morrow lego estate in florida. well, the judge in the case says trump's trial could begin next january and speaking after today's hearing on hatton district attorney elvin brag. it said, every one is equal before the law under new york state law is a felony to falsify business records with intent to defraud it intent to conceal another crime. that is exactly what this case is about. 34 false statements made to cover up other crimes. these are felony crimes in new york state. no matter who you are. we cannot and will not normalize serious criminal condu

and that's why the activity of brussels today i greet you with what official azerbaijan and officialre's washington in that they are the lord to see where they are, and well, the french in numbers and personally, macron, having lost a lot of authority both inside his country and on the international arena, tried to somehow declare today and now the factor of china, which has already appeared on the ammenscene, is such a powerful state that is already today everyone understands that the moderator can be on the one hand, on the side of the same russia, er, china , and on the other side, today it starts in america, only the united side of ukraine, only today , america, and of course, macron tries to in this situation, even if he presents himself as a third party a force with which it would be better for china to have relations because china still does not want a confrontation and it does not have such big, uh, problems with the same european union as it has with the same united states of america , both geographically and economically yes here are the questions of the same russia, in par

in that way, brussels can be blamed.hat is potentially why the european commission seems reticent about speaking out for full -- -- forcefully against these actions. seeing unilateral actions are not possible, rather than condemning them directly. nicole: negotiations are ongoing. how is this dispute being perceived in ukraine? guest: ukraine is, as we just heard, very dependent on poland. poland has supported ukraine a lot. and so that is why the countries being careful about this. ideas have been ventilated that there might be some way of allowing transit to the seaports of poland without discharging the green in poland, without it entering the polish market, again, lots of technical questions about the. we just heard that there is not only a dispute between ukraine and poland, but also grateful on how this should be done. there were tariffs removed on grain at the start of the war to support ukraine. and grain that had been blocked, the black seaports were blocked by russia and then subsequently ukraine had mined the

they expressed regret that brussels has not yet figured out that only ukrainian food is being exportedhe black sea. today, the eu permanent representative will try to find a compromise on the impossible import of ukrainian products by several eastern european states have already banned it unilaterally. maria grigoryeva will tell you all the details. the so-called corridors of solidarity along which europe decided to export ukrainian food through its territory turned out to be too narrow for them by road, rail and river transport of agricultural products. it gushed in such a powerful stream that the bandwidth. it was simply that a careful degree was not enough precisely because of problems with logistics, the bulk of the exported food began to settle in neighboring countries. ukraine european countries. it was one thing to simply declaratively designate such measures to support ukraine and, on the other hand , provide for logistics, provide for the possibility of transportation to the corresponding , say, uh, rail, sea and other routes, nothing was done and needed to be provided. again,

noted by brussels.ted in principle the same theses that emmanayu makro repeated on the subject of the fact that the joint government of europe and there already china in the future prospects of negotiations between russia and ukraine well it can be prisoners if the united states gave them this permission in the same way that if china did not want to go directly with us because we would have a confrontation there in the district and ivan and there is no european union there, there are completely different countries, japan, eh australia, new zealand, south korea can be seen, that is, there is no great britain. yes, that’s all, eh, and based on this, i’ll go and throw it. it will be easier to agree on the same with the european union, so they thought that they use the same euroser as a shorter lightning rod in order for china to i could have a certain relationship with them, but i don't think that euroservice will cross any red lines that will hit you with strategic lines that, well, the leading role is pl

terry she'll speaking to us earlier from brussels. though every year the united nations marks the international day of land mine awareness. it's estimated more than $30000000.00 land mines have been left in the ground from conflicts around the world. iraq is one of the most seriously affected countries who shot a leave has made clearing land mines, his life's work. he lost his legs 3 decades ago when he stepped on one. since then, he says he has cleared 100 self thousands of exclusives to prevent others from sharing his fate. emishak i had that in my work is extremely dangerous, but i'm able to do it thanks to my experience and my expertise. this is the, could this region off not been it arc, one of the idiots bust affected by mines and unexploded bombs from to eat on iraq. war of the 1980s, the ducal force, and the latest conflict with the so called islamic state, millions of unexploded bombs, mister lit of the ground. according to international experts, was still talking about 2600000000 square meters. all areas that are contaminate

terry shall speaking to sergio from brussels. all right, well let's take a look now at some of the other stories making use round the world rush and suicide . drones have struck the ukrainian city of odessa in an overnight attack. defense forces, so they shot down 14 of the 17 iranian made, cha had drones targeting the black sea port. one hit a local business, but there are no reports of any casualties. russian authorities have charged to 26 year old woman with terrorism in connection with the bombing of a cafe in st. petersburg. the blast killed, influential pro war blogger flatland, petoskey kremlin, says ukraine with behind the incident. keith denies being involved. australia has become the latest country to been chinese own, tick tock from government devices. intelligence services recommended the ban on the app because of fears to beijing could be collecting user data. china has protested and called on australia to treat chinese businesses. 30 a massive fire has engulfed a shopping complex and bangladesh is capital duyka. the

i will, i spoke to our correspondent at terry schultz in brussels at nato headquarters. she's been following at today's events. yes, that's necessary because of course, there's always worry about support flagging as countries deal with high inflation as their own stockpiles of weapons and especially ammunition run low. there's a lot of worry inside ukraine and also by nato, that the countries may start to decrease their contributions to ukraine. secretary generals told hamburg made clear that he heard more such commitments at today's nato ukraine council, and he said, allies will continue to stand by ukraine as long as it takes and more talk about ukraine's or potential or membership of the alliance. well that's one way to put it a potential membership some day a day, which is not clear in anyone's mind yet that ukrainians continue to ask when they might be led into nato. this is something that said foreign minister qu labor said on his way into the meetings today, and of course they're using today's momentous accession by finland to say, hey, if the doors open, when do

w is rosie bird chard, who is in brussels at nato headquarters. so rosie of finland as stilton berg said earlier, is about to become a full fledged nato member. what does it practically mean for finland and for nato itself? so i'm here at nato headquarters, and as you can see behind me fluttering in the wind are the flags of the 30 existing nato allies, the countries which are members of this western military alliance. but you might be able to see there is one flagpole without a flag and that is where the flag of fleet finland will be later today hoisted. and once finland's flag is waving in the wind here in brussels, while the country will have officially waved good bye to it's decades long policy of military non alignment. now, until last year, finland had been happy to be a partner of nato, but not a member. you mentioned finland shares of very long border with russia more than a 1000 kilometers. and of course, after the russian invasion of ukraine, things were forced to really reassess their security policy in this marks quite a substantial, a

what do people make of that kind of talk in brussels? yeah, it's an interesting one. this. this idea of the future of europe is one that's been going on for a while. we had a broadly ignored conference on the future of europe to decide whether the european union would entirely overhaul it. systems of governance and whether there will be much more integration on certain issues. macro was a huge supporter of that was mainly done in strasburg 2nd. see of the european parliament. but the questions that perhaps he wasn't said comes to perhaps ending the 2 c seats about european parliament, the french, and certainly not in favor of the other seat being here in brussels. but we do know broadly what manual micron is in favor of and really what he wants is much deeper economic and financial and fiscal joining of the member states. he really is pressing for the banking union to be to be, to be created much at least before it is much more. he wants a much more unified system. he's even spoken in the past about the idea of a sort of finance minister rather than just having the euro a h

here , the position of budapest also differs from that of brussels .he hungarian foreign minister petr called the lack of an international objective investigation of the sabotage at nord stream. for such frills, europe will not pat the hungarian leader on the head, they are already called an autocrat and even a dictator, but the country itself. almost a black spot of the european union does not actually give money from general funds, but the notorious freed. chaos, the state department's pocket toy , placed hungary between senegal and peru in its ephemeral liberty rankings , defining a division of partially free countries. yes , and the head of the local foreign ministry warns you need to be ready quote for further attacks from brussels who uses all kinds of blackmail to put pressure on the government in this form with such views on the world order. the hungarian authorities are turning into an inconvenient and difficult to control player, defending the interests of their people and traditional values. they are progressive inventions of bureaucrats fro

he does use terry, she'll speaking to a surveyor from brussels, that researchers working in the japan trench in the north pacific ocean have set a new record, namely the deepest filming of a fish in history. and here's the record breaking footage. a lonely juvenile form. juvenile from an unknown snail fish. species caught on camera at a depth of more than a 1300 meters just a few days later and not quite so deep. the scientists used bated cameras to film a few more of them. it's part of a 10 year study to find out which fish species are lurking in the deep dark waters of the north pacific. here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. donald trump has told supporters he's facing persecution, non prosecution. after learning details of criminal charges, he faces from part 34 kinds of falsifying business records in court in new york city. the charges relate to the alleged payment of push money to $3.00 people before the 2016 presidential election. all right, well that's all for me for now you can say up to date all the davis news on our website, tito view dot com. thanks fo

another question is whether brussels has hungary as part of the european union.tually , brussels does not have any instruments of pressure on budapest, and maybe on the other hand, it might be possible first, it is such a single, well, the only communication channel if e- e of the european union with minsk and moscow, and maybe brussels needs this communication channel or do we reject it, you understand , look here, i don't want to provoke conspiracy because, you know, there are a number of events there , relatively speaking, at the nuclear power plant, etc. which is being announced there but even in my opinion, not a single stone has been laid there, it’s funny , yes, you already peter sier said that my children have already gone to school, and it’s not visible yet, yes , maybe he put up some kind of barrier, eh. here, for example, recently viktor orban went to paris, met with macron , and in the project so there is a french company that is a subcontractor of the atom, now petersieta went to moscow and again talks about the first, as if the construction is guara

so we're just going to cut back over to the 2 brussels. now we're hearing young sheldon bag, the head of nato, giving a speech. gotcha. was listening marks trying to juggle a secretary general on our selected on this they on the 4th of april, mine's been for dinner him on this day of the 4th of april. mine's been 40 norion. the washington treaty was signed to crate, a shield against aggression on that fears, shielded our nation's honor genius to do so. to day but war has returned to europe and finland has decided to join nato. i'd be part of the world's most successful alliance. this has been the fastest accession process in naples, small done history, finland and sweden applied for membership last may. in june out there was summit and madrid's every ally invited them to join him and to day less than a year later, we welcomed finland as a full member of our alliance. i look forward to also welcoming sweden into the lions as soon as possible. finan is safer, and nate, though is stronger with finland as an alloy. your forces are substantial

thank you very much, shar correspond at rosie birch out there in brussels. more on this was cross over to our correspond, jennifer parker, she's in, in reger left the jennifer, finland, joining nato reverses decades of military non alignment. what reactions are you seeing to that? well, terry, of course, rush us reaction to finland, joining nato to put it bluntly is quite negative rash as defense. ministers said geisha who said that this move is raising the prospect of actually escalating the conflict in ukraine further. but he also said that this could damage the already strained relationship between russia and the west. he also stated that russia would be forced to take counter measures. but when asked what these counter measures would look like kremlin spokesperson to me that it just said that they will carefully observe what will happen in finland. what he means with that is quote, how nato will exploit the territory of finland in terms of placing weapons and infrastructure there. and according to this, then russia would be forced to take measures. yes s

the alliance is headquarters in brussels, has seen a day of ceremony and emotion. finland's president described the occasion as historic and nato secretary general said. the expansion shows that russia's attempts to weaken the alliance of backfired. finland flag hoisted high over nato headquarters in brussels. and as anthem's ring out helsinki, waves good bye to 8 security policy of the past. a move prompt to directly by moscow's aggression toward you crate. the era military non alignment, you know that history has gone to an ent, new era figures. it's gone to re maximize his its own security. so does finland. nato membership per strengthens our international position and to room for maneuver. nato allies take a collective defense pledge, under which an attack on one is viewed as an attack on all that means finished. troops are no bound to protect other members of the military alliance and finland, which shares a long border with russia. can no count on back up from nato allies like the united states, france and germany. this is the day of joy because sir finland is se gaining more se

nato gets ready to welcome finland as its newest member in a ceremony at alliance headquarters in brussels. the nordic expansion increases nato's border with russia applied over a 1000 kilometers and germany's vice chancellor makes his 1st visit to ukraine. and pledge is to help rebuild the country. as president lensky stresses that what kid needs most is weapons. ah. hello m terry martin. good to have you with us. former us president donald trump is preparing to surrender to prosecutors in new york later today as he faces an unprecedented court appearance. trump is the 1st sitting or former us president to pace criminal prosecution. tuesday will see his arraignment on charges linked to alleged hush money payments to adult film actor stormy daniels just before the 2016 presidential election. the former reality tv stand president is the biggest story in town. the game arriving at trump tower, donald trump, heated quickly inside for more talks with his legal chain. his support has rallied loudly nearby, while others demanded justice. guiding him on off hooker's payment 10 years ago or 7 year

well, joining us sir, from from our brussels, the bureau is terry short. she's been following that suppressed press conference and joined us from just outside nato headquarters. terry, what did you make of those statements? we just heard from the nato chief n finland's president. well, terry, it was obvious that fir, finished president minister. this is truly a momentous day. in fact, he said it may be the most historic day in finnish history post world war 2. and that's a big statement because of course, this was a country that never wanted to join the alliance. it had made clear that it thought that being not aligned was the safest position to be in. but russia's invasion of ukraine changed all of that. so you can probably hear the music starting behind me . dignitaries and press are starting to flow in for what is going to be really for for fins, a very emotional moment, and that is the raising of finland's flag here at nato headquarters making it the 31st ally. so indeed, a historic day for a for finland. but what about nato nato's border? terry has ju

what about where you are in brussels? are these shared with other leaders and does my car have many people who agree with them with regards to how he sees that the future of europe? i think there is a broad sense that europe should be creating its own for a policy specifically on this, but there's a long standing trend. transatlantic relationship between the european union and the united states. now, during the trump presidency, that was kind of rocks right. there were questions about exactly how much the european union back donald trump, specifically when, if you remember when he moved the u. s. embassy from tel aviv into jerusalem in favor of the israelis. there were a lot of a lot of things that the european union started to, to question whether they were on the same page with the americans on all of these issues. and i think what we're seeing, well, micron has publicly come out and made these comments. there might be a sense in other european capitals that they'd like to be stronger on these things . but because trade

that was our course monetary sholtes there just outside nato headquarters in brussels on the day that nato has officially welcome finland as it 31st member. i'm terry martin from me and all of us here at dw news. thanks for watching. ah, 3 . ah ah ah ah ah ah. a pulse a beginning of a story that moves us and takes us along for the ride. it's only about to perspective culture information. this is d w. news warner w. made from mines kick off with 90 minutes on d w. hey guys with evelyn sharma. welcome to my podcast to love matters. the i and life celebrities influences and experts to talk about all playing. loved back from day to and get today. nothing less of all these things and more and then you will see the fuck. come, make sure to tune and wherever you get your past and join the conversation, because you know it who love matters lou o time. ah, for a brain update its magic, it kind of magic the because this orchestra called the brain continuously adapted cells. so we ask a few astute questions. we smarter swarms for us, so wouldn't causes monster waves, powerful or your thoughts. h

but first, to the ukrainian topic, washington announced today additional aid for ukraine, and in brusselsther meeting of the ukraine nato commission was held, what messages or decisions about further support for ukraine we heard from its results eh good evening yulia , you are right, this day in brussels will definitely go down in history well, now we will talk about everything in detail one by one indeed, from the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, ukraine can be said to a certain extent to be leading the way . actually bring it closer to the return to control of its own ukrainian territories on behalf of ukraine spoke with partners, colleagues dmytro kuleba and for the first time, i will say in six years. now the blockade of budapest has essentially been ignored in a certain way , which, as the head of the hungarian foreign ministry said , violates the principle of nato unity, well, he promised everyone at the meeting itself to be constructive. so the ministers supported the creation of a multifaceted support program for ukraine that will help it get closer to the alliance an

joining us from brussels but he will| joining us from brussels but he will be going to liverpool foreather. a change in the feel of the weather. a change to something warmer with some spells of sunshine but that warm sunshine has helped to sponsor big shower clouds. we will continue to see some heavy showers to the west of today and indeed the west of the weekend. some spells of warm sunshine, too. however, on the other satellite picture we will see the stone of cloud here across parts of scotland and north—east england. underneath that some spots of rain and actually, does feel rather chilly and to the north of that, certainly in some colder air, some sunshine, yes, but some scattered showers. furthersouth, northern ireland, north—west england, wales, the south of england, here is where we have the warmest weather. 14—19, may be 20 degrees. a mix of sunny spells but scattered, heavy thunder renowned for us but then, as we head to this evening and overnight, this band of rain and more widespread showery weather will push its way in from the west. a few mist and fog patches. temperatu

jack perch in brussels has more. yes she did, she gave this speech a few days ago just before she was heading into beijing in which she said that the priority for the european union is to d risk the relationship and not to decouple it. the priority for the europeans and what she's been told i know from speaking to you, diplomats here in brussels, is that the priority is to get beijing to make sure that beijing does not decide to send lethal aid to russia to help it's in its war against ukraine of the number one, font fundamental priority, that e u countries feel her message should be to the chinese join those meetings. now we've seen a minute meeting already with between vonda lion and the chinese premier lee chang . and there's a bit of natural sound audio on the video where you can hear from the lion telling the chinese prime minister the her father as a, when he was the head of the state of north lois saxony and germany signed one of the 1st german or chinese business deals between the 2 provinces in different cou

the w's rosie birch are their reporting from brussels. well, i was also joined from riga by dw, corresponded jennifer parker, i asked her what sort of reactions were seeing to finland may to membership. well, terry, of course, rush us reaction to finland, joining nato to put it bluntly is quite negative. rush as defense ministers said geisha, who said that this move is raising the prospect of actually escalating the conflict in ukraine further. but he also said that this could damage the already strained relationship between russia and the west. he also stated that russia would be forced to take counter measures, but when asked what these countermeasures would look like criminal spokesperson to me that it is offset that they will carefully observe what will happen in finland. what he means with that is quote, how nato will exploit the territory of finland in terms of placing weapons and infrastructure there. and according to this, then russia would be forced to take measures be a score of also said that it, that finland, joining nato is a

permanent representatives of the eu countries in brussels today will discuss the extension for a yearsion on duty-free import of ukrainian products, including food, which has recently become a real headache for some eastern european states, several of them have already unilaterally banned imports from ukraine and others leaning towards it problems. my colleague understood. maria grigorieva she joins me. masha good morning. what are the chances what will be able to persuade the east to abandon this embargo ? the whole question is how much the european commission is ready to compensate for the costs, now i will tell you everything in more detail. the so-called corridors of solidarity along which europe decided to transport ukrainian food through its territory turned out to be too narrow along them by road, rail and river transport, agricultural products gushed in such a powerful stream that the throughput capabilities. just because of the problems with logistics, the bulk of the exported food began to settle in european countries neighboring ukraine. it was one thing to simply declarati
