10:31 pm
temperatures drop well below 0. the water from the stream of the melting glacier is harnessed, moves up a hose and releases a light spray that eventually turns into a rock hard structure, up to 14 meters high. the inspiration came from far away from the village in a barren desert plateau in the himalayas. using branches, sticks and logs, villages had been building i stupidly named after a cone shaped buddhist monument to access precious water in summer. their julian counterparts are using artificial intelligence. solar energy and satellite internet to improve their technique. but ultimately it's the force of gravity that supplies water to the stew pads. if someone get a, these hoses are placed, 4 to 500 meters, a pill upstream, with just the difference and altitude that pushes the water to the top of the super, where it comes out as a spray of droplets. a granger to newman,

you'll says he's noticed a positive impact. you're going to see that if you have it's advertising of the disappearing for years. who must foxes and condos also the dining to the natural and i'd be that 22 years. it's hope they'll be at least 50 i supers in this area to prolong water supplies to help restore some of the end is declining. it goes system countering advancing climate change. one drop at a time. to see a newman al jazeera cleaned in my boat, you need. so that's the new. so now and jessica washington, you can find more information on our website. i'll just see where it comes. the news continues here on out of here, off to the bottom line. thanks for watching the along with batteries and so the power electric vehicles become
10:33 pm
a key driver for chinese economy and it's transition towards high tech growth. your opinion impose tariffs of up to 45 percent on chinese eaves. not quite so stiff is the 100 percent. that'd be impose the by both the us and canada, but enough to throw its exposed strategy. of course, that's finally been attributed to front loading businesses, concerns about the tower for risk of incoming us ministration. i've been speeding up. ford is to be to the new policy that might make it even more expensive to buy chinese goods. china is the main provider for most of the consumer goods and industrial inputs. so there is a limit on how far those terms can go. and overtime, when people feel the pressure from inflation, there will be a political response event in new york exports. it remains was it. and despite weakness and of the areas of the chinese economy, this is took, took is the 1st country in the world to develop a comprehensive national,
10:34 pm
sustainable tourism program. in partnership with the global, sustainable tourism comes village life here retains its strong. every meal is like a feast from the farm to the tape, hundreds of excavations and restoration. this country is a place to slow down and enjoy the simple things coming to discover the natural historical and cultural beauties. a. hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question. the incoming trump administration is waiting options to end the rest of ukraine war. but what does it mean for europe? let's get to the bottom line. the almost 3 years there was no doubt about us support for ukraine in the ukraine, russia conflict, but that was under a democratic party administration, which spent almost $60000000000.00 to support ukraine since the war began in february 2022. nato allies have also devoted as much in cash in weapons and other
10:35 pm
economic support. since the beginning of the conflict now is power changes, hands to the republican party, things are changing rapidly. president elect donald trump has promised to end the rest of ukraine. work quickly even said you could end the war in one day. but what would that look like? and how is the shifting us position playing out in europe, especially in eastern europe? we're russia is literally right next door. today we're talking with you on the policy for administer the czech republic on this special edition of the show coming to you from the doha for them and cut our thank you so much for joining us today. look, i want to ask you about check is strategic dashboard and your hierarchy of concerns . and i imagine the russia, ukraine conflict this high on that. are you worried about the direction this conflict may go with president trump having been elected the united states and having potentially a softer line on russia than joe biden? have the 1st of all, i would not say that the door from zillow have
10:36 pm
a softer line on your crime, russia we have not heard fully. his plans or visions for conflict resolution in europe and speaking go higher fee school, incense, all the political priorities. so if you could rephrase it. uh for chick. yeah. it this uh the tons of bumping bunk. uh the country with the ridges 3. not all of those goats and divorce singles brought by russian control over the the eastern essential part the few of uh, including could the time to go to the walk. yeah. and um, i don't want to repeat that so false. so this not to have bundled something, something bunch and do you open? architectural security architecture is very important. so if you are behaving like that, you have a munition initiative. you have to send to the house a 1000000 shells to crime this year. in a row, lumber is much higher of your real spends 2 percent of gdp on defense. and my
10:37 pm
personal ambition, i still limit the rest of the influence in europe. you know, we need to show russian about the, about us all. can you go a little bit further with what you've done to support ukraine and i know ukraine has said that it hopes to get more from chucky a that it expected more from check. yeah, i know there's a lot of discussion about, uh, ammunition and, and, and whatnot. but from my trips to eastern europe, i know that there was a norm is support, enormous cash arms flows. but can you make this more tangible for viewers who may not understand how deep the support has been? so the tech support still your crime? it's a wide range of activities political support on the diplomatic front. it's economic support. so to to you money, it's military support, the not only self ours, but also pro life and gift quite a lot of immunization and knobs. so it is a comprehensive, a support video goes from chicky. um, so as you can look
10:38 pm
a few minutes around and development aid, for example, for displace people in any, i mean the early word we've heard from president trump and some of the people that are around him like mike waltz, the incoming national security advisor is an expectation that they're going to pressure europe and nations to do more, to support the ukraine, to basically keep in the game if you will take it. and i'm just wondering how that will go over with citizens in europe. europe has the resources to help you crime. you even have resources to still do war. we, as a europe might be elizabeth a lot of political will. so the not from the will provides external. uh, push on that and uh, you know, the stick you with the a funeral, not only you crying as a nation, it's a state so, so we should take it seriously and be ready to uh, to find those results. so i'm gonna show the policy. i've just talked about europe kind of as, as, as a single entity. and i think, you know,
10:39 pm
from my experience of starting an east, you know, western europe and moving across the eastern europe, the intensity of feeling and passion about this topic, changes and shift. is there a real problem inside europe that you're out, your neighborhood on, you know, for the most part, is one that's really feeling the tension about ukraine. russia and others are coasting along the, you know, i'm very careful with his eyes inc. my neighbors. and i just don't know the facts are friendly as friendly, afraid, live friendly nations of europe. but the reality is that we need to do more and we need to fund resources. this will be a difficult debate in the u. uh, there are certain states which are clearly dedicated to stop russia and ukraine and in, in europe as such, full and baltic states. for example, chic, i'm a nation initiative which physically deliver of immunization for the front lines of the seo house on laying around. it's a cooperation between chicky, i've done work and underlines and many other contribution contribute technicians.
10:40 pm
and then uh, we have these big players. we really struggle with leadership, bellevue, bi election soon. and germany of you have a government in front of adults. confidence right now. this is not helping but this, those are the situations which needs to result somehow that's on the other side. if you have a new leadership of faith or my group that think that i think jump, you have a new european commission, the commission, the president was stuff on the line continues. and so for example, uh why so waste chair kind of cut off. it's doing also very good job. so you don't know if everything is going good. no, everything is going bad. back. we have to, you have to be have to continue. you have to be really dedicated to boost the pressure. do you think there's a blind spot out there about a growing resentment, antipathy about ukraine? we've just seen in the romanian election. the surprise emerge. agents of
10:41 pm
a character, very few people knew about, was deeply anti nato. and i find it so interesting because the deputy secretary general of nato was from wrote romania marciano was one of the candidates didn't do so well in the election, but a kind of 18 nato pro russian nationalist. one this election that election has now been a no because of the concerns about russian meddling, deep meddling and social media. how do you feel about that election and the decision by the court to undo it? and you have concerned that there is this really substantial portion of a complex inside these countries in eastern europe. that is somehow moving another direction when it comes to russia, ukraine, 80 percent of false information. and this is formation activities in europe about nights from russia as russian origin. so russia i subdivision not all the physical renew crying, killing everyday people kits. women this twinkle spittle subsidies, but they also want to destroy mines
10:42 pm
a few offensive business to business information contains. so the situation and romani, i just refresh everyone in the refresh, so now we are going to drink all the information and i am in touch with people on that. so i, i don't have a direct command, it's very concerning. and it's so fusion that you're not going to call them in a way you think it was in the know. so i usually medical samsung card will scrape uh the for from the selection. so uh, probably that must be a sound reason, but uh, but uh, i am ready to do it. do you have um, it's been out there and saying that there been over a 100 major incidents in europe. yes. of missed you directly related to russian actions. can you tell us more? yes, it's a clear indication that the number of suspicious of death is growing. the russian aggressive it tells us to put services on the proxies as building. so we even had an incident in prague when some person was monday related. so we have to look around the, some kind of some things to,
10:43 pm
to learn something to make up publish. i was, i just never know successful. but why is why should doing? that's why they did the same and the phone and the politics. why we have so many cases office be on osh why we, we need to be and you all to find some, some, some somebody from us. so we need to stop that the, i guess the west, so passive and taking this with out are engaging in this information campaigns in russia. why is there not more of an aggressive count her response to basically li, the terms that if you, in russia, vladimir putin do these things in europe and united states and elsewhere, that you run the risk of them being done to your own population. because the united states used to be pretty good at meddling and other, you know, so i would not say that the best this buses. it's 2 bolts, it's a 2 general statement. different countries are going to funds your jobs and there's a different level of sensitivities. and different societies and still to try your
10:44 pm
hardest, well, it's not overcome. this is the reason why it is called hybrid wolf or it's, it's something which is not the war for a such. so the societies uh less seeing that. uh and um, this is sparkle is my job to say no, this is a serious situation. you have to do something. and uh, my proposals for example, to limit the move month of freshman diploma finish and going that route. exactly. direction this is direction go simmons. i don't, i'm not saying that this is an over uh desire of donald trump, but i've heard it from some of the people around him that he may have a desire in the next few years to host something like a state dinner for a lot of them you're putting in washington of trying to bring the u. s. and russian interest back together. and they argue that that might be a small price to pay if he can get russia to stop in engaging and aggressive behavior against his neighbors. would that be something that would give you
10:45 pm
heartburn, put you in this not interested in, didn't, or which in is interested to destroy you quite as a state, the ukraine in us as a nation. and so as a landscape the president, he wants to erase your claim from the met. this is duplicates real didn't know. so i don't want to comment on on a pl sibyl or speculative scenarios, diploma. think history between us and, and russia. of course it's ok that those 2 states us diplomatic relations center. that's a spectrum office. you recently met with a group of european foreign ministers and had a discussion. much of it dealt with ukraine and what uh, both red lines they would be and what plans of action would would be? what, how, how solid do you think the group is? you mean like the natal or that you need to is based on the optical size this strong thing can do. you have to work on it. i think the most important thing is that nato is now working on new defense funds. so we see, well, the russian army,
10:46 pm
sorry balls and the other trucks, the tourism, and we, and we look into what our capabilities are. and the message is clear. we have to invest more into defense and the message that the to person arnold see link and just the baseline of it shouldn't be full. so by everyone. and the more of this debate will come from your perspective. after listening to president's a lensky, off and on, you know, his aspirations for nato membership sooner than later. but hearing from both european leaders and, and american leaders, you know, maybe it needs to later, you know, be later than sooner on nato membership. but when you think about a potential deal, something along the lines that a general kellogg who's coming in to be an envoy for the presidency. you know, the rest of you create conflict is looking at some, you know, territorial, free, some freezing the conflict to begin to negotiate. but basically taking off the table a needle membership for some time, what kind of formula do you think might work?
10:47 pm
so 1st and foremost, we have to stop pushing for once, not to give him a pulse, to take a breeze, and then continue the. and i think the, it's, it's less money, and we month we will suppose to stop, to, to get for food at the lent pots of trickle slovak, you have to auto hitler. and i know hits, i say this is my last demand. i want demands anything more and we know that it will just incentive to solve this, a convertible with a full on to effect friends and to, to then been so busy. so we have to stop it and solve it as a piece which will be just lost. and if we do some kind of freeze, the rest of it will be able to produce that phone's fine muscle just and build up their armies and then continue again. so this will be a biggest mistake of what is all. so what does that dynamic initial a policy? what would be that dynamic to genuinely stop it because that it wouldn't involve
10:48 pm
some dimension of deterrence, some dimension of much more serious armed forces defending whatever line you draw other than just leaving you free to use the uh, i like, oh i like the sand piece to stress, and that's about a stick we think around these. so does the discussion we have now and, and europe. how the sick, the accurate security guard and the discussion? what would be the form of the guarantees of some say if there's an angel membership . so your position is ok, yes. and they to membership is the strongest possible guarantee. and then you have many, many other possible. but now every day there is a fight in russia. news is more than 1000. so just every day, every day. and you clean us out losing so just to have, you know, know the exact figure, but it frustrates losing $1000.00. it will be also quite a significant number of the plan side of so i think the ultimate goal should be
10:49 pm
to stop. it will just fold it. so what do you see as the check? he is unique role in this moment. you know, trying to basically broker this. i'm sort of interested in what role you as a for administer playing at this moment broadly. are you uh, going along with a flow of other nations? are you able to put ideas on the table yourself? is there anything proactive you're doing this so? so the roles took guys to be really good, possible good to lie and to do our homework and take i will start share 11000000 country so, so we can do something we can do change like the munition initiative or do you want to turn out and so of course i try to bring new ideas to, to move, to good to what can be done. so that's, that's how i see the role of chicky. i mean, to me, you sound quite hawkish on, on russia and drawing lines. there are some domestic dependencies that,
10:50 pm
that the check here has on russia, particularly oil in energy. still, can you talk to us about that? how do you remain dependent on russia? i'm not saying you want to be, but you are dependent on it at the same time of trying was, i mean, i just even don't know how you would manage that deal politically and from an economic perspective. how is that going and are you, you know, how are you making progress in cutting off that dependency? so the current government made a clear decision, right off the full scale of innovation of you quite. and as we look good with all the defendants in the lesson, hodgin and i guess we'll solve, give us some capacity terminals in germany and have lunch. we can get the g and we will get rid of the russian or next year. so there is no contradiction, you don't want to be dependent on someone who wants to luxury at the same time. do you fear it will a kind strategic contraction of us commitments around the world that one of the
10:51 pm
things i think president trump represents is a frustration of a lot of americans. that somehow they play a security guarantor in the world. but china has come out, ending up a winner in their eyes that american manufacturing got hollowed out, that there were a lot of trade offs that were very uncomfortable for american. it's made the security equation much, much more complicated. and i'm just interested in, as you look at it as someone who's close united states watches, united states values, the relationship, are you worried about it becoming dimmer and to some degree because of american populism rising right now. i don't have a designated fonts for for the 2 up survey. sions do may not survey. it was done from who push the agent out to persons you'd, you'd be spending on defense. you're in your system in nature to applaud that. and we apply that. it's now being fulfilled and so things are getting better and he drew up the semester. and so on the sense, i would say this is a positive thing. and the other thing here is that the conflicts in the world are
10:52 pm
not a separate one anymore. so as you see this and you're sitting here in doha, we've got delegations here from russia, evaluations from iran. we have representatives here from syria check. yeah. and from check. yeah, yeah, you're in the middle of a major, major forum here. and it's not that everything would be resolved here, but i'm just wondering, do you think that this sensitivities are in the right place regarding what, how, how much worse? everything could get, you know, today in the middle east, we're seeing what's going on in lab. and on seen is real, gaza, we're seeing, you know, breakdowns in syria. and how worried are you about a repeat of history? us, uh, we should learn from history the repeated. that's a very famous, very famous quote. it's important to have a place like they'll have to have a different kind of confront seasons, injunction organizations, because the real front line soldiers of these are diploma talking to each other, solving issues. and if they fail, then we have that,
10:53 pm
that'd be written estimate direction. so if you will, to get rid of the military actions and war, we need to talk to each other about it has to be, it has to be a reasonable discussion. and in a, in, in, in case of frushell rush, i still like to discuss and the very present that they said it's multiple times that they, they, they, they will use the following line. we are just told with america i voted, worked as ours. a lot of it is a lensky about how to withdraw from your plan. so you should listen to that language and i'm thrilled that to have this a big stick. so then you can speak softly on ask this question carefully, but i know you have a very special relationship with some of your neighbors to visit grad countries hungry. poland slovakia, a check. yeah. and it seems that that used to be a bastion of you know,
10:54 pm
democratic activity. it seems to be slipping. slovakia, uh, had it has a rising populous trend and a populous company that came in, i think, is populous, govern under prime industry feed. so, and you have in hungry, of course, uh victor, or bon, who's seems to be on a demonstrably different tract and much of the rest of, of europe and has not been expelled is still in. is there a brewing problem in your neighborhood? when it comes to how these countries, donnelly, look at russia, look at china right now. a lot of countries worried about china as rise and how to manage that. and i'm interested in how that is handled from the us perspective, as well as the trans atlantic perspective. what are your thoughts so long to figure out it was created in the fine, long ago to give us a go off the ascent of communism. and it was the big names like chick president, boston hello, or police president like wallace. and it was created with the vision that those for
10:55 pm
centrally open countries will do good to join nato and the you and this promise was fulfilled and these are very successful incorporated. and the other goods times and best times will be suggested about. so now we have a major disagreement, an interpretation of the sex with the situation in europe, chicky on poland. let's say that's we see things in the quite clear way. russia is what wants to destroy the 2nd with all the and you up. so we find that agreement, it's like a hungry for it, for example, in natal or in the you. but this is the limits of the agreement and there is not much space for more again, so the be significant cooperation continues, but it's not just about that. it's also about it's a culture of the good. well, it's all of us have people look at victoria bond as a, as a, as an autocrat. uh, you know, coming to power and, you know, just enabling a democratic institutions. we just see that worried about that is that is that
10:56 pm
concern over place in, in the year and a house in a hungry that would be actually on sunday or monday. so it's kind of the beginning in the fall. so. so let's see. uh, let's see how the, how the, let me ask you finally, you were in ukraine recently, and you met presidents a landscape and you gave him a book. yes, i'd like to know what the book was, cheryl or this is a beautiful, what is it gave me a book about possible problems. prague was that what you gave in this book was not the to guide for president zalinski. we are ready to invite presidents that let us get to, to, to as a to is to proud when the voice over of it is official. you'd like me to my book all over. i gave him a book of russian for anything else. uh, rush, i slang every day. love rufus lank every day. and we wanted to show to people that this for kremlin, for it. those are really for it though, sense of to, to give some sex check to go slice. so it's an a funny way. this is
10:57 pm
a set of social media posts which is to make fun of the rest. so what was the rest of the live flow as presence of landscape reaction? he will surprise tables that they and he like this. and he would like to see that you created a version of mr for mr. thank you so much for being with us today. thank you. thank you very much. i. and so what's the bottom line? you as president elect donald trump, may be able to work with russia's red lines on ukraine, but to most european governments, it may sound like a peace man or conciliation and a direct threat to the principal of state sovereignty. the further east you go in europe, the more folks are nervous about what a deal with russia and ukraine may look like. don't forget, they're in the neighborhood of ukraine, and they were subjugated by the ussr, the soviet union. for the longest time. america has no strategic interest in giving away everything to russia, but it could go either way, some voices into trump point house or solidly against any russian advances. yet
10:58 pm
there are other voices arguing that this conflict really isn't one for america to keep investing. the difference between them is start, but that's what lies ahead. and that's the bottom line, the. the latest news as it breaks the law saves owens means that even when b sweating spot issued civilians are effectively trapped with no chance of survival with detailed coverage. nobody watch all kinds lawyer wants to come out as long as hospital carrying shows lessons and blanket as it's officially winter. here from the hoss of the story is what your planes have targeted. this school, which is silver and thousands of cal for years, will have been forcibly this place from there is a bill to he is the latest is you can a russell buried in southern england with 2 farmers, 10 safari park. pioneers fits the attractive, good natured in the driving seat. i was just absolutely astonishing. the license
