but as natasha butler reports from bordeaux, there are concerns that a delay could push countries to other international plays. arriving for the summit and produce levina, the head of the commission sought to reassure west and bo can lead us about their possible future membership of the block. we want to send a very clear message, and that message is that the western vulcan belong to the european union. we want them in the european union. we are one european family, but the leaders of albania, bulls, near montenegro, north macedonia, serbia, and course they are increasingly frustrated with the you thomas's. they say they want more progress on membership talks that have stalled in recent years. we are hopeful that the summit will make you stay faithful to its essence and that is enlargement. during the meeting, you leaders acknowledge that western balkan countries had made some reforms, but they said there was still work to be done on the rule of law, corruption and major freedom. ongoing rivalries in the region are also impeding progress. historic tensions between cost of own serbia

you represent tips. natasha. good them is in doha. from the americans point of view, what this meeting is is a continuation quote of pragmatic entanglements with the taliban on issues of vital national security. what it is not according to a u. s. official is quote, granting legitimacy or conferring recognition to the taliban. the u. s. official goes on to say that we are very clear that with regards to conferring legitimacy to the taliban, it will be based on their actions. an explosion in manga province in eastern afghanistan has killed the governor of the road that district, 3 of his guards were wounded. an explosive device had been planted on the side of the road. no group has claimed responsibility. the chinese president teaching ping has again promised. there will be a peaceful reunification with taiwan. he avoided previous rhetoric that included using force against taiwan. but in the past week, nearly a 150 chinese warplanes of approach taiwan air space around 1000 migrants and refugees, demanding resettlement from libya have g

that's led to thousands of people being detained since last year. natasha butler has more from brussels. as frustration with bell royce grows in the block, some european leaders did not hold back on the last day of a summit in brussels. they accused president alexander lucas jenko, of running a human trafficking ring and weapon ising migration, by helping people to cross and legally into neighboring countries to be see the harbor, to attack, or of belarus regime, which is continued, which is becoming more and more aggressive. receive is up for salvation efforts. we see a prior tri soft bar ocean regime to find new connections. new destinations. the u says uminski is flying people mainly from the middle east into bearers, and helping them to cross the border into the block by a poland, lithuania and latvia. what are you in luxembourg prime minister called on leaders to respect people's rights a day after an 8th person died on the border, where conditions for migrants are grim. some countries want to build a board offense, but after the meeting you leaders agree to strengthen boarders and

there is natasha battle reports from slovenia or western balkan nations. want to be part of the european union. but in recent years talks over their future membership. i pretty much stalled and that has caused a lot of frustration among those are western balkans leaders work here at this summit. they said that they wanted more progress to be made. and at the end of the you are the head of the commissioners. relevant, lance said that she could give an assurance to western balkan nations. that enlargement was very much on the table or for the european union that the place of the western balkan she said is in the european union. and she said though, although some reforms of happened in the west of broken, she said there is still much work to be done. and those things are causing an obstacle if you like to accession. she is talking about things like corruption, the rule of law, media, freedoms, all issues that need to be addressed a for negotiations to speed up if you like. nevertheless, it is clear that the you, once the western balkans to suddenly be looking

we have lost our connection to natasha buckner in slovenia. they're talking to us about that western balkan summit. we will be covering that summit for you on out here at over the next few days till head on the news hour. as worries deepen about the chinese real estate giants at a grand $300000000.00 debt, a 2nd chinese home builder has had financial trouble. plus, we look at how iraq's politicians are taking on the challenge of convincing people to vote and made calls on social media for an election boycott. and has spanish basketball, great stops to class on his career. general, have the details in schools to stay with us. we're back after this short break. ah hi again de cecile here is your weather update for the middle east. we can still see some lingering effects of what was psychotic storm shaheen with the circulation here spinning around some showers in yemen. and also same goes for sala, with a hive, twice, 7 degrees send and does start. so being kicked up for southern portions of saudi y to look right now at the middle east. we've got

yeah, but also they're looking especially at natasha, but also looking to do the same thing, i think, to other international organizations. the problem however, is that the gotcha is not a member of many organizations like the counsel europe or b r c. the organizational security question. so the only things, yes, is through these all the international organizations, like i met from the united nations. but this is more difficult because for example, the i m. s. recently a quarter of a 1000000000 loan. so, i mean, the best thing you can do is to use at all the means at old domains which exist up international level with rational organizations. put pressure on russia, for example. also ensure that flights from syria or flights from iraq cannot happen . who bring these refugees and all these me so, so just to make sure that the maximum pressure is on the lane also on russia and go on on the government yet us live. you leaders have also agreed to impose more sanctions on men's going forward. but if bela bruce is actions are seen as a retaliation for existing e sanctions. how would imposing

and natasha butler is in brussels for us. hello then, natasha. tell us more about this polish court ruling which will likely dominate discussions well, you leaders all divided over how to deal with war. so some are calling for a tough response. others are saying what is needed is dialogue. now poland is a member state, but it has been at loggerheads with a you for some time. now, many of the you accuse poland of government fair of eroding lot rights, particularly the independence of the judiciary in things really reached a boiling point. early of this month, when a top of polish court ruled, the polish law could take precedence over you law in some areas. now, out for the head of the european union's commission isn't of on the line. she said that was challenging the very foundations of the you because each member state must abide by the use a rule of law. so this is sparkle to talk over whether or not poland could be heading a full, a so called poll exit, trying to break away a form of the you. now some of you leaders are saying what is needed is
