it is consistent with pyongyang's stance that it wants to separate itself from the south.as last week, pyongyang saying they are going to completely separate from the south they have announced this move to the united states. for the past year, north korea has been fortifying its border area and using heavy equipment to dismantle these roads. the manner by which it destroyed the reds today has —— the roads, has ratcheted up already heightened because it used explosives. there was footage shared by the south korean military of blasts on those roads linking north to south and that prompted the south korean military to fire warning shots on its side of the border as a response, but it also prompted this response from the reunification ministry, condemning this move, saying it is backwards and abnormal, but really strengthening pyongyang's stance that it has no interest in re—unifying with the south. this is the latest in the continuation of heightened tensions. last week, north korea accused the south of flying drones with a huge amount of anti north leaflets over pyongyang. i

nevertheless, the relationship between pyongyang and moscow has only deepened.this would be a notable step up in support. i think it reflects russia's need to address manpower shortages, because of the losses it has sustained. it is a proper ukraine that feels more acutely. but it is clearly a development, this relationship is developing. i think for ukraine, there is an added element of frustration. we have never seen western boots. on the ground in ukraine ukraine has always known that because of fears of an escalation. the number 3000 is small and a battlefield since. the concern here is that could grow. in a war of confrontation when you are the smaller fighter, but is only. bad news for ukraine. sumi: let's get a look at other headlines. the u.s. department of transportation has find a german airline of $4 million for discrimination against jewish passengers. the penalty stems from an incident in may 2022 when jewish passengers were banned from a connecting flight in germany based on a behavior of a handful of flyers. they have paid out $2 million of compen

the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has spoken about this before, spoken about pyongyang rampingorea is helping russia. joe biden saying there's no consensus about long—range weapons for ukraine and the repeated requests from president zelensky is the ability to use symbols long—range weapons into russia and targets within that and joe biden said there's no consensus about long—range weapons for ukraine. lord darroch is the former uk national security adviser. he was the uk ambassador to washington during joe biden has been a very good friend to europe during his time as president and paid a lot of attention to european issues. he has been a very solid and reliable ally and contributed a lot to the defence of ukraine. and he has been, which is important in diplomacy, he has been a very predictable figure on the world scene and we've known what he stands for and what he is going to do. so if this is his last trip, as is likely, i think there is a lot of real business to talk about on ukraine and on the middle east, but it is also a moment for european leaders to express appreciati
