the, the, this is the to the news line from the and then you need is cool for an immediate pause in the fighting and gaza at assignments. and russel's latest on the 27th member sites them on the unconditional bernice of old hostages and israel. not to launch a ground defensive in the southern city. and also the, our secretary of state and state, blinking says negotiate is on making good progress towards the ceasefire. of the folks in egypt, lincoln says he's confident that a deal between israel and thomas as possible. i think the gap between the 2 on narrowing the

i'm are here in the how much, thanks for joining us. european union lead is meeting in brussels, according for an immediate humanitarian pause in gauze up and for the unconditional release of all hostages. it's the 1st joint e you demand for just ation of hostilities in because the strip you heads of government said full humanitarian access was essential in order to provide life saving assistance to the civilian population. european commission presenters to live on the line issue the statement. the consensus of tonight is that we need an immediate humanitarian pause, leading to a sustain ceasefire. see on conditional release of hostages, and the provision of humanitarian assistance. gaza is on the verge of famine. a catastrophic humanitarian situation is well has the right to do everything possible

. on the 7th of october will never happen again in the boundaries of international law and international humanitarian law. but that it has also the duty to do everything possible to protect civilian life. let us cross over to brussels and speak to the deputies jack power. ok, so jack the you calling for an immediate humanitarian pause in gauze, a leading to a sustainable ceasefire. is this a major shift in the position here as well, in some sense is it is only a few months ago. the idea of the european union cooling for any kind of cease fire was completely off the table was specifically germany was unwilling to sign up to that. if you look at some of the summits we had here in october and before christmas, that was not possible. but now with the situation on the grinding, gaza having become ever more complicated as the israel,

how much will continues the european union? which bearing in mind has just signed up on fully back to sit pre planned for humanitarian aid cordele into the gaza strip, to support the people that i'm trying to do as much as they can to get aged. and they say they know a saying that what needs to happen is an immediate humanitarian pause and leading to that sustain ceasefire. this is quite a strong cool from the european union leaders. they now know that they're trying to get on board to try and find a way to end the hostilities. they are clearly concerned about the humanitarian situation and gaza. meanwhile, elite is also, you're looking at using these frozen russian assets to boost a to crane. and from what we understand that some you need is all saying that they're confident about the money being released quite soon. so yeah, we've had quite an interesting set of discussions from the leaders here today. and it looks like the a little bit more boy, and a little bit more optimistic about using winfield profits off

a 200 and b at 210000000000. you'll write posts, posts of russian money that is being frozen in a, you financial institution. institutions and has been accruing winful profit as to the tune of about 3000000000. your a say fund that you're paying commission, present us live on the line and she said she reckoned they can get at least 1000000000 yours of that to be released to support ukraine. it's been complex by, by the 1st of july. notice being complex among e, u. member states, specifically those countries that are militarily non aligned, ireland and austria, who don't want that money to be going towards funding military assets, be ukraine, because that would then be them sort of being involved in the war. that's what that concern divides, but we have seen some, as i say, some pretty positive statements from some of the leaders. it is in the tags, but they will work towards using some of these when fruitful profits on not big

part of russian money to start supporting ukraine, the progress sort of legislatively here in a use that goes loose continue nights. what exactly how they can do that, but getting in in the document is significant and talk. what more do we know about the european council taking a decision on bosnia and herzegovina to formerly spelt talks for the country to become a member of the yeah, it's been to parts agenda and this may sort of sole, by the way side of the headlines. but it is significant, they have agreed to open the accession to it. so this is the formal process that it comes it a country like boise and has give, give you know, which have been a candidate country for a couple of years now. they have to go through to agree and change and reform a lot of the different ways, but that's that, that institutions work in order to become an e. u. member states. we now know that those formal accession tools will begin. this

is really symbolic from the european union, as it continues to try and keep the west and balkan countries involved. keep this progression into the you. for them, the positive it has given is be one of the most complicated in that process. but they are symbolically not opening these folks. let's do w stuck pack in brussels. thank you. check the gaps on now. right? that's how us secretary of state's as me blinking is describing a deal between israel and thomas lincoln who's been in egypt for talks, said israel needs to do more to help increase the flow of age. he also signaled some hope saying he still believes a cease fire agreement was possible, is lincoln speaking? i know there's a clear consensus around a number of shared priorities. first, the need for an immediate sustain ceasefire with a release of hostages. that would create space to search more humanitarian

assistance, to relieve the suffering of many people and to build something more. and right now the cease fire that we're working on would be the best most immediate way to enable us to search mandatory assistance. but it's not the only way as we agreed today, all of the ministers that we would get are experts together in the coming days to identify the urgent practical and concrete steps that can in should be taken to increase the flow of assistance is. so how much coastal all we to in the median sustain ceasefire as blinking, just put it up, put that question to cream and hawaii in cairo as well. he said basically this is the main way forward. so he said also that that they are getting closer and, but also if we think that the, the asked in other difficulties i had it, i think one of the best indications that there is something on the paper that's

worth negotiating is the fact that to tomorrow and that will be a big meeting in do on costa, and also with the head of it is really most of the intelligence service. so there seems to be enough to continue the bushes and the blinking seems to be quite optimistic that if we move forward, the kid is set to that. there is more a coming into the last days. but he says it's by far not enough. and the of course that is a clear call towards the is ready decides to finally open their board is to really get in my 6 months of age. i think i was say behind it is really that the, we just try to spread that some days ago from their workforce program. that is wanting of assuming that the feminine in because of strep throat, and immune and famine, is like this. that indicates us that the great, the model, attrition of children, folks, something how many children for security for tennessee creative because of strep,

which should blink also say that the press conference is 400 percent of the people because so i think the u. s. doesn't want to be complicit any longer into this situation and why? that's why they pressuring for more. it's coming in at the, it's an indication also that the negotiations blinking comes to is where it tomorrow would be quite tough if he wants to move forward a demons whose the rebels have told china and russia that they ships can pass through the gulf of aidan and the red sea safely through these have been attacking vessels of the you have any coast since november. the us and the u. k. have lost, as strikes on who the targets in retaliation. several countries have deployed the naval forces to protect shipping in the trade virt. earlier this month, 3 crew members were killed when the ship was hit and who was only me now is hands jacob shanda. he is a senior director at the center extremism project in berlin. it's good to happy

with us here at the w news. so how have china and russia managed to negotiate and deal with the who these well western powers still appeared to be open conflicts with a group rate clearly. and obviously iran as plays a major role in yeah, iran is a major sponsor who piece it is also very close to china and russia increasingly so over the last couple of years because of breast and pressure. and so my best guess, without being involved in these negotiations, is that they've been through the reigning route, both countries, of course, having an interest to keep the shipping boats open russia to get an edge out and trying to get it's um, merchandise into europe. and how does the hostings benefit from this arrangement as well? the problem is, according to media reports, is of course that the in china and russia agreed to politically support the rookie movement. whatever that means potentially means that the attempts to run up the

pressure of via united nations security council of sanctions will be slowed down by both these countries while permanent members of the security council, and therefore can veto any resolution. where does this need for us? another western powers, we have seen a tax that they claim to have degraded the hudy's ability to carry out such incidents for example, and such strikes, but always seeing any indication of that degradation. well, suddenly they were a successful attack side. but even to us, admit that they were surprised at the extent of to who would be arsenal. and of course, you're on continues to respond. so this new agreement, if it is an agreement that with these are going to keep they accidentally, although they have their mounts, they wouldn't in the past, targeted your russian and try and ship. so maybe the maintenance helping them more now to not to do that anymore. um, but it puts a bit more pressure on the us and the europeans really on to,

to i that increase the pressure on iran to make, to the stop or to continue its military operations. because the one hope of course, was also that china. whereas any current interest that this shipping route is open, because most of its merchandise and materials that exports to europe goes via that shipping route is now apparently no longer having a problem. so in terms of the big picture, we've seen multiple strikes in the last few months. how much of an impact have these attacks being on trade in supply route so far a very significantly. so that is a truck over 40 percent of traffic through the source canals. so far we have more than a toppling of container prices. um, since the attack started in earnest a couple of months ago, and of course we have a massive increase in shipping insurance for any residence that goes through the right seat. that means a lot of the majority of global shipping companies are renting now. ships that go

from in europe around the applicant route, which is at least 10 days longer travel time, which means longer transport routes and more uh, transport costs. that's hands diction though. thank you very much indeed for your time and analysis. thank you so much for the 2nd look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. the cranes capital has been hit by the largest russian and strike in recent weeks. the crating apple says it's jump down over themselves. the 17 people were injured. several buildings were also damaged for my cap line separate to see to call us push them on, says he will stand in catalonia as we saw elections in may push the mom has been living. and next all since leaving main officer failed break away. 102017. he's hoping to return to the country once an amnesty deal put forward by spain send to less. government becomes know the us department of justice has suited
