00:00At least one person is killed and dozens of others injured in a Russian strike on the

00:06eastern Ukrainian city of Pavlourad.

00:12At least one person has been killed and dozens of others injured following a Russian air

00:16strike on civilian infrastructure in the eastern Ukrainian city of Pavlourad.

00:21In a statement, the regional governor said three children were among the injured.

00:26We were at home, on the fifth floor. There was no balcony. I was with a small child,

00:33one and a half years old. We were in the corridor. It was scary, very scary.

00:39That attack comes on the same day Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the Ukraine Defense Contact

00:44Group in Germany to discuss the need for long-range weapons with the U.S. and European partners.

00:50He also pressed his case for allies' permission to use weapons supplied in military aid packages

00:55to strike deeper into Russian territory.

00:58Meanwhile, the state emergency service said Russian shelling in the northeastern Sumy

01:03region started a wildfire in a border settlement. The statement said the blaze was put out before

01:08it could damage a nearby forest plantation.

01:14Hungary's nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban reiterated his anti-immigrant stance

01:19on Friday, stating migration has a corrosive effect on EU legislation. He delivered the

01:25comments at a conference in Italy, saying under his six-month EU presidency he would

01:30tackle the bloc's major issues, security, competition and migration.

01:35Migration is an issue which is a disintegrating factor. Why do we need it? So if you have

01:40a problem in Italy and in many countries that you decided to let many migrants come in and

01:46now you have difficulties how to manage to live together with them. It's a serious problem.

01:52The Hungarian government's anti-immigrant rhetoric was furthered when a senior official

01:56said Budapest would bus illegal migrants to Brussels.

02:16The EU has frozen billions of euros for Orban's government. This is due to the conservative

02:35leaders' breaches of the bloc's rule of law and democracy standards, which spans migration.

02:42The European Union envoy for the Western Balkans has urged Kosovo and Serbia to step

02:51up efforts at normalizing relations. Speaking in Kosovo's capital Pristina, Miroslav Lacak

02:57said the move would be divisive towards the two countries joining the bloc.

03:02The EU and the United States are pressing both sides to implement agreements that Serbian

03:07President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti reached in February and

03:12March last year.

03:14Of course the very important issue is how to unblock the implementation of the agreement

03:18on the path to normalization and we had a very detailed discussion with...

03:23The relationship between Kosovo and Serbia remains tense and the 13-year-long normalization

03:28talks facilitated by the European Union have failed to make progress. Kosovo was a Serbian

03:34province until NATO's 78-day bombing campaign in 1999 ended a war between Serbian government

03:41forces and ethnic Albanian separatists in Kosovo. Serbia doesn't recognize Kosovo's

03:47independence proclaimed in 2008.

03:55Boeing's new astronaut capsule has departed the International Space Station without its

04:00crew on board. NASA's two test pilots Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have stayed behind

04:07on the ISS. That's after NASA logged a range of problems with Boeing's Starliner capsule

04:13from thruster failures to helium leaks. The space agency decided it was too risky to let

04:20Williams and Wilmore use the craft to return to Earth.

04:25SpaceX will instead bring the duo back in late February, stretching their original eight-day

04:29mission to more than eight months. NASA said earlier this week that teams have been so

04:35focused on Starliner's return that they've had no time to think about what happens next

04:40for Boeing. But the space agency said it's committed to having two competing U.S. companies

04:46transporting astronauts.
