[000:00:00;00] the, this is the diabetes line from the and then you need is called for an immediate pause. the fighting in guns and assignments in brussels leaders from 27 member states. the mon, the unconditional release of old hostages and israel. not to launch a ground defensive in the southern city of austin, the program. humans whose the revel strike a deal. who visa has been attacking ships of governments co say they will allow vessels from china and russia safe passage through one of the busiest shipping

and us secretary of state tons named blinking is expressed to travel to israel later today saying the go changes are making good progress towards the sci fi deal between israel and the amanda mohammed. it's good to have you with us. your opinion. lead is missing, and brussels have for the 1st time issued a joint statement. courtney for an immediate humanitarian pause and concept european commission president are still of on the line while stressing as well as right to defend itself off of the october 7th terror attacks by him us so that israel also had the juicy to protect civilian life. previously, some you countries, including germany, had resisted language calling on israel to hold is operations. they called it

a strong and unified statement on the crises in the middle east. the boats the call . so a humanitarian paused by d. u. lea does is likely to change late. so despite the hot and approach the head of the council, charles michelle also pleaded with israel not to go into rough or in southern gaza . we pay on the government of these was not to launch their drug operations. you know how far, because we can't imagine what would be the trusty press if you search for the version would be low. the boring ukraine was also high on the agenda. president low to me is a landscape address to stomach bug video, to make his case, to further help. unfortunately, the use of half tillery at the front line by our soldiers, is accumulating for europe in the sense that europe can provide more,

and it is crucial to prove it. now, lead is backed in principle or proposal by the block to use frozen version assets to buy more weapons. about these, despite the attendance of hunger, his prime minister, big to all bon, to congratulate to vladimir putin on his recent election. some e u leaders made time for us stop at the nuclear energy summit, pledging to put energy production of the hots of future plans. however, one notable absence was chancellor luff sholtes. after gemini phased out is less than nuclear plants. and there was welcome news of bosnia and herzegovina as the book announced it would officially open accession talks with the bulk and couldn't try. i did of these, jack power has more on those you decisions from brussels usually does have in brussels. have my mind is to sign off on

a cool for immediate humanitarian pools is leading to a sustain cease fire. that would cease fire was very, very complicated, even only a few months ago. the latest couldn't agree to cool for such a thing, but not with the plans to get humanitarian aid into gaza that increased concerns about a potential grind defensive by the israelis into the city of rough or, and gaza. they, on the putting more pressure and raising just slightly the needle on these varies to, to try and find a way to bring about a sci fi off of these immediate humanitarian pause. is a big cool from the european union, actually on the ukraine side of things here with this on that we have as you've seen, some interesting progression on the suggestion that the european union could use some money, potentially up to 3000000000. your rose in winning for profit is the come off of

210000000000 your a russian financial asset, the 16 you financial institutions and has been accruing in pressed the european commission president as of on the line and said she reckoned 1000000000 yours that that could be released these frozen assets profits before the 1st of july, the some complexities around this. how that money is going to be used, whether it would be used for military asset purchases, which is complicated for some of the non aligned military countries like island for instance. they have difficulties around not, but the language in the text is that the european union will start working towards accessing. i'm freezing and releasing some of those when for full profits from the russian phrase and access the gaps on memory. that's how us secretary of state, times me blinking, is describing a deal between israel and thomas lincoln who's been in egypt. the talks said israel needs to do more to help increase the flow of age a signal,

some hope saying he still believed a cease fire agreement. was possible? yes, it is blinking speaking under ladale, there's a clear consensus around a number of shared priorities. first, the need for an immediate sustained cease fire with the 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 to 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 we agreed today, all of the ministers that we would get our experts together in the coming days to identify the urgent practical and concrete steps that can, it should be taken to increase the flow of assistance is real nice to do more stevens, who is the rebels,

have told china and russia that they ships composite through the gulf of agent and the red sea, safely the movies have been attacking vessels of the game in the coast since november the united states and the u. k. have launched as strikes and who's the target in retaliation. several countries have to port the naval forces to protect shipping and the trade route. earlier this month, 3 crew members were killed, one their ship was hit in the strike. and zack option, there is a senior director of the council extremism project here in berman and i asked him how tyna and russia managed to negotiate to deal with the who these who continued to target western countries vessels that very clearly. and obviously iran as plays a major role in yeah, iran is a major sponsor rupees. it is also very close to china and russia increasingly so over the last couple of years because of risk and pressure. and so my best guess, without being involved in these negotiations, is that they went through the main 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 policies benefit from this arrangement? well, the problem is, according to media reports is of course that the china and russia agreed to politically support the working movement. whatever that means potentially means that the attempts to run up the pressure of via united nations security council in 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 and other western powers? we have seen a tax, but they claim to have degraded the who these ability to carry out such incidents for example, and such strikes, but always seeing any indication of that degradation. well, suddenly there were a successful attacks of but even the us admitted that they were surprised at the

extent of to who would be our civil 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 the amounts they wouldn't use in the past, targeted your russian and china and ship. so maybe the media is helping them more now to not do that anymore. um, but it puts uh, a bit more pressure on the us and the europeans really on to, to i that increase the pressure on the wrong to make, to be stopped 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. goals 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? very significantly. so there is a drop over 40 percent of traffic through the source canals. so far we have more than a dumpling 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 business that goes through the right seat. that means a lot. the majority of global shipping companies are renting now. ships that go from in europe, around the african road, which is at least 10 days longer travel time, which means longer transport routes and more uh, transport costs as hands direction though. thank you very much indeed for your time and analysis. thank you so much. let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. to report some hazy, say a major gang leads out as being killed in the capital port or prince. so, so say it against the known as g. craig, who escaped from prison, the id this month was killed and
