the leaders of the african union discuss the conflict and the democratic republic of congo. for half a 1000000 people have now been displaced due to fighting the town tulsa, govern. controversial for her stands on russia and meeting with serious beside an assad's is confirmed as trumps. director of national intelligence, the hello, the us president donald trump has spoken to the russian president vladimir putin on the phone. today, his secretary of defense outlined his plan to end the war in ukraine. tonight told members straight to alan fisher joining us from washington to see what more we learning about this phone call as well that donald trump has essentially designated

a team to talk to presidents the landscape with the idea of ending the war. that would certainly be the toner of p, texas. comments in europe in the last couple of hours when he said that ukraine couldn't expect to return to pre 2014 borders, which of course would mean the loss of territory from the most recent war. and also of the crime in the don't buy some the war and in 2014, when russia invaded, he is going to san marco rubio, his national security adviser. michael bolts is head of the director of national intelligence. jordan ratcliffe. all right. and also steve went call, who is his own personal and boy, and they will be heading to speak to presidents the landscape. so he said that the war has got to come to an end and the message, he said that millions of people have died in the war. not exactly correct. certainly there's been a great deal of death death in the, in that war. and he said that the war would never have happened if he had been president said, be covered the number of areas, including them, at least a i,

as well. i talked about energy too, but the most important part of this phone call clearly is around ukraine. donald trump, remember during the election campaign said that he would sold the war in ukraine. the moment he was elected, he wouldn't even have to wait till he was president. right. clearly that hasn't happened, but he's not putting a full diplomatic push towards the landscape and saying that the war must come to an end, which means that he's going to put pressure on the let him use the landscape to accept territorial loss. is something that he said in the past he simply would not accept. and alan, while i have you with us, let me just ask you about that. both pete had excess while he was in brussels because he was doubling down as well on trump's plan, which is to pressure nato countries to spend more on defense. that he's talking about 5 percent, which is the figure that donald trump has come up with and not entirely clear why it should be 5 percent. for the longest time. between 201620. 20. talked about how

every country needed to contribute 3 percent. most european countries would not be able to reach that 5 percent with perhaps the exception of poland. what is clear is that an increase of that limit, increase of that amount would cost america a great deal of money to at the moment. the defense budget is somewhere in the region of $880000000000.00, increasing it to 5 percent with ticket to $1.00 trillion dollars. now you speak to a lot of economists, let me speak to someone in the last couple of hours or so. they say that the only way to do that is either cut social programs, which donald trump said he wouldn't do, or raise taxes, which donald trump said he wouldn't do. so how he gets to this magic figure. i've no idea, but he's certainly putting pressure on the europeans to meet that bigger and many of them have said that they think it's an aspiration, but not something that they'll be able to reach any time soon. okay, thank you. i'll look for sure. thank you for that reporting from washington. d. c.

will not cross over to it has your mind about joining us from brussels, from around those comments that were made by the us sector defense pete hex as were saying has some these comments made at the same time? now we know that there was a phone call that was held between president tutoring or for us or on the us president donald trump. so tell us how this is all playing out in brussels, where you are the, basically the rain. it's a strong indication tomorrow is going to be another day. you members and a 2 members will have now to think about a new defense strategy away from any future support from the united states of america. the listen to those follow for was from the us defense secretary, who basically told they to members that ukraine has to abandon the idea of joining data in the near future. and that the americans are not going to commit troops in

ukraine in the future. and that even if they are going to be an agreement or peacekeeping forces, they know they have not, they're not going to be and nature. so would basically talking about ukraine bracing itself for a painful concessions. and one of this top concessions is going to be for day to, to forget about cry me, i don't bus best listen to what at the tags of how to stay. we want like you a sovereign and prosperous ukraine. but we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. a durable piece for ukraine must include robust security guarantees to ensure that the war will not begin. again. this must not be mintz 3 point oh to

the states. but those was perhaps, it was clear as indigo indications that trump is going to go a different direction is that the europeans that they to have to have a thing that's brought to you to as well as they are concerned. the biggest concern was how to deal with russia, and they said, we need more cash, more weapons to be sent to keep so that they are in a much better position in the future is the ability to go. she has a supplement and they were hoping to team up with the americans to send a strong message to the russian president lead team and putting that's who would never be allowed to further expand his, his influence beyond, across the european continent. well, now they've got a strong message from the americans that the you and that nature members have to stop relying on themselves. which means that they have to now think about ways to gather more cash, to send to keep,

and also produce more weapons. they would have to send to keep, they were hoping to be able to convince trump to change some of those ideas, to the point that they were offering to buy more. what this from the america is more natural liquefied natural gas from the americans as, as, as a, as a sign of grouchy choose to was the security. i'm bring them back is have been providing you for many decades. but today i think they are going to definitely start talking about the 2nd option, which is basically you to be is designing their own defense strategy away from the united states of america. and to exit the clear when he says that the stock and do the stock do political realities, which dictates that the americas was ship, the focus from europe to contain china is going to influence. okay, thank you. have some i had about a reporting from brussel. no, yes i provided is in moscow with more on the kremlin likely response to the us administration's proposal,

a piece headset slate as was no doubt sound like music to bludgeon and patience is and no doubt that rushes reaction to them will be quite positive in terms of russia's position on the bottle, filled it slowly advancing that ends according to many, it's not practical for russia to immediately sit down at the negotiating table as it's ready to continue facing tribute spokesman to meet your best quote has said that russia is not discussing the issue of exchanging territories with ukraine. something that you bring in presence large him is landscape, have previously all said, according to this call, all ukrainian units kind of get a coupon part of russia's cost region will be expelled from that. and russia's not going to make any territorial concessions retaining all the previously taken ukrainian lines. russian i was, spends more than a set of as a bunch of the defense rushes, military spending rows more than 40 percent last year. versus the corner ways. middle tree oriented economy, now we're spending and wages rapid growth. but having said that,

a big part of society is willing to finish the complex as soon as possible. even the many do not speak out on the subjects, you know, ship of all of the odyssey, right? most scared, the u. s. is expected to release suspected russian cyber criminal, alexandra vintage in the coming hours as part of a prisoner exchange deal with moscow. then it cooperated vtc which was one of the largest crypto currency exchanges. he was arrested in 2017 on suspicion of loan during $4000000000.00 through the exchange vintage pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering in the last year in the us last year. that's where he was facing a 20 year prison sentence. well, the next release comes after americans. schoolteacher mark photo was freed from a russian prison and arrived on home soil. on tuesday, the 63 year old was met by donald trump at the white house photo was serving a 14 year sentence for possession of medically prescribed marijuana. of

the age of 10 katara stuffing up efforts to salvage the gaza cease. fire deal mediators are urging, is realize how much to commit to the agreement with reports, a high level of how mass delegation is now in cairo. israel's prime minister has threatened to resume the war if thomas does not release more captives on saturday. at the same time, us president donald trump is standing by his plan to take control of gaza and forcibly relocate its entire population. but the egyptian president and jordan's king says gauze i should be rebuilt without displacing palestinians. israel's defense minister as real cats as now saying the words should resume in order to fulfill trump's plan to take over gaza. that is how much does not release that is

really hostages. by saturday, then the gates of hell will open on them just as the us president promised. he continues saying the new gas or war will be different in intensity from the one before the ceasefire and will not end without the defeat of him us and the release of all the hostages. and it will also make it possible to realize the vision of us president trump on goes up to central, joining us from jordan's capital on mine because it is really government's and the palestinian authority of bands. i was a 0 from reporting and israel and the occupied west back. no doubt that these words by cats will be worrying a lot of people. most probably the, the mediators have that. but how are we to understand them? the well, benjamin, nothing. you all was quite clear last night that if the captives are not released as part of the agreement saturday at noon local time, the war would resume. but the words of israel counselor a little more severe saying that the war would be due for an intensity. unlike

anything we saw in the 15 months of fighting, which is a little bit difficult to believe, given the depth and destruction we have seen in the palestinian territory were at least 40 to 50. and some estimates 60000 palestinians had been killed. all of these buildings damaged and destroyed, but what the defense minister is saying here is that if this deal doesn't go through, that's exactly what's gonna happen. and in fact, these really army has been talking about the plans for going back toward the operational assessments. that's it's, it's conducting and they are approving these plans and coordination with the defense minister calling up troops once again. so it just gives you an idea that israel says it's ready for the resumption of war that it's prepared for that, but it's worth mentioning. but some sources speaking to is really army radio. had said that any sort of military action to rescue the captives from gaza as nothing

yahoo was saying, but military pressure is the best way to bring about their release. they say that that would be nearly impossible if they went back to war because of how many still being present and actually showcasing their strengths every single weekend. when we see these captives released, we see them as fighters. we see the weapons that they're brandishing. so there are a lot of moving parts here, but these really political establishment is saying that they are prepared to go back to war if the captives are not released by saturday. i'm home to another moving part, of course is egypt and jordan, we understand now that the leaders of both countries have held a phone call and they've both agreed that gaza should be rebuilt without displacing palestinians as president. trump has been se, so that's right. both countries say that they reaffirmed what they had been saying for weeks once the era we previously had released. that letter saying they completely denounced president trump's plan to take over gaza into remove palestinians from their homeland. so they're saying that they want to

cooperate with the americans to bring peace and security in the region. but it should come with palestinians remaining in gaza that the rebuilding should happen and commence while the palestinians are still there and be part of that process. this is something they've been saying for weeks, but president trump has essentially ignored all of that. he's saying that there will be a sliver of land from jordan and a sliver of land from egypt that the palestinians will live on. totally disregarding the fact that palestinians do not and will not leave their land whatsoever. so the countries in the region are reaffirming their positions that they are not going to be part of this idea of displacing the palestinians, but many have denounced as ethnic cleansing. okay, thank you so much on this on how it's reporting from my mind. be arm's wing of the atlantic. she had, has released the video showing former is really captives in gaza before their recent release. the group said this is to remind israel,

the only way to recover the remaining captives is through negotiations and sticking to original terms of the ceasefire deal. it's as committed to the agreements and warrens the faith of the captives is linked to the actions of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. it's still a heads on alta, 0 facing charges of sedition, new pressure on the vice president of the philippines. the young women with a passion for space, so i used to change about working and if the school sounds like not sound good enough. so that's a small step for science jointly for women. kind in kind of stalling the but don't replace it in high. and that's a scheduled time, the satellite could be sensitive to space. women mix science space school episode 5 on out to 0,

the the, the top stories on how to 0 this, our, the us president, donald trump, has outlined his plan to end the war and ukraine in a phone call with the russian theater, so i represent the pair have agreed the need to immediately begin negotiations on to work together. earlier, the new us defense secretary p tag satchels, a native meeting in brussels, that ukraine's folks of joining the organization were unrealistic. he also says she should have bands and any idea of returning to pre 2414 borders. egypt and cats are setting up efforts to salvage the gaza ceasefire deals, mediators are urging, as real, as from us to commit to the agreements with reports. a high level legation isn't

tiro, israel's prime minister, and is threatened to resume the war. if a mouse does not release more captive on saturday, the u. s. senate has voted in favor of chelsea gilbert as the new director of national intelligence gab ard was president donald trump's nominee for the role. she faced tough questioning from politicians and her confirmation hearing last month. most of the questions put her passed into question, including support for whistle blower, edward snowden, and meeting the former president of syria ba side. and i said in 2017 john 100 and joining us from capital hill. so john, this was pretty much expected, but talk to us about how the vote, let's as it was expected. but it was also expected that this would be a very narrow party line vote, and that's exactly what happened. $52.00 to $48.00 was the outcome. not a single democrats voted for chelsea gabbert. and interestingly, republican senator mitch mcconnell, the former republican leader of the senate,

voted against a chelsea, gathered saying that she had failed to prove that she was worthy of this job. he went on to say the nation should not have to worry that the intelligence assessment the president receives, are tainted by a director of national intelligence with a history of alarming lapses in judgment. so what are those lapses you talked a little about them? one of them was going to visit the shar, all aside during the hot or in syria and saying he had no weapons of mass destruction. also blaming the united states for the for rushes, invasion of ukraine, saying the united states threatened russia with, with nato membership for ukraine. and then supporting edward snowden who stole u. s. secrets at she is not really backed off of any of those positions. and interestingly, she's a former democrat and actually ran for president as

a democrat in the 2020 election. i lost that and then really lost the face of most of the democrats in congress. of course, all of them all 48 and the senate voting against her. so she's a very controversial figure one that even some republicans don't favor. senator chuck schumer stood up. he was the senate democratic leader stood up and said, i know if this were a silent vote that not interview would vote for chelsea gabbert. i know we all know what a terrible candidate she is. he said. but he suggested that it was really an example of how republicans had fallen under the thrall of president donald trump and were willing to vote against their own interest into their own judgment in order to secure nomination for one of his most controversial nominees. uh, there is also a procedural load going on right now for another controversial nominee, and that is robert f. kennedy junior's health secretary that is expected to go

through. and that just clears the way for a final vote later. so to very controversy on them and use the trump administration moving forward. okay, thank you so much on 100 and reporting from capital delegation of catholic bishops has met rebel leaders in the congo, the city of goma as part of efforts to resolve the ongoing conflicts. fighting between the army and m, 23 rebels resumed on tuesday, officer a 2 day pause. un says more than a 110000 people are on the move from displacement. camps in the east after alons. in fact, rebels told them to leave m 23 and its allies denied, forcing them out, saying the displace people are moving voluntarily. people sheltering their and says they've been told to leave an african union meeting. a for a ministers is taking place in ethiopia as capital. the ongoing fighting and the democratic republic of congo is on the agenda. part of renew, diplomatic, pushed,

and the conflict leaders from east and southern africa. i have been calling for an unconditional ceasefire. harold latasha has more from august of about on what to expect from the african union summit to the main days would be saturday and sunday . that's when the heads of states will be at this time. but right now, what's happening is the ministerial meetings way. the d. c. contact is high on the agenda. some delegates a saying there's a need, an urgent need to diffuse changes between the d. c, and rewind to otherwise nothing much could come out of this assignment. also on the table a talks about measuring the different piece processes. well, i know there's a lawanda piece process and then arrow the piece process. the one to one is trying to get the d. c under one to need us to meet face to face. i not the difference is that really one is trying to get old placed around the table including the rebels. but the problem with that is that the d. c. presence of materials, if you will not meet with the m 23 group of issues on the agenda, include the conflict into done issues and waste applicants hel, reason things like climate change was affect

a lot of the continents also on the table will be the election of the african union, cheaper than any port in position because the asking you now has full membership in the g 20 we have as it relates to the will take applicant issues to the international stays the next to 20 some. what will be inside that for the later in the so after go will want to push his interest in terms of trade, finance, climate change. what to do about us present donald's tons of policies, for example. so applicants, i'm hoping this person window elected will put, advocates in for success. we show this as a community that applicants do match, the applicants issues do matter. and the voices are important when it comes to matches, involving the geopolitical stage. item tasks out there at a suburb, a serious intern president has announced the creation of preparatory committees to shape the country's political future. syria has been under the control of a transitional government led by ash my to shudder since the fall of

a shudder subs in december. several of our infractions have agreed to dispense with their members being integrated into a future national for us. it's not clear if general elections will be held for a new government. the investigators in the philippines have recommended filing criminal charges against vice president sergeant territory for inciting suspicion. this was in connection with a speech she made in november. the territory said she'd ordered someone to kill presidents for did on marco's junior if she herself was assassinated for publicly criticizing him, the vice president has denied making the threats and says the charges against her are politically motivated. barnaby low is in manila with more on the strange relationship between the philippine president and vice president. the will, the feud between president brandon and marcus junior, and vice president sarah detroit today has been going on for months. and just last week, the lower house, which is composed mostly of allies of president mark,

has voted to impeach the vice president. but the national bureau of investigation, the n b, i says that is the decision to recommend the filing of criminal charges in particular of great threats and inciting to sedition isn't a political one. they say that they were just nearly following the evidence, the strongest of which is the video itself of the vice president's online press conference. back in november 2024, where she said that she had already spoken with someone who had agreed to kill the president. the 1st lady and the speaker of the house in the event that she herself gets assassinated, that she denies that that, that, that was the threat. she said that she was merely revealing the threat to her own life. but president marcos back then racked it very strongly and he said that whoever made that threat he did not being the vice president must be held

accountable. so this political risk widening now, especially now that it's election season here in the philippines. the president himself, in the 1st day of election campaign season, telling voters or one voters against allies off the vice president saying that the never criticized china for what he said was chinese aggression in the south china sea. as well as cautioning borders against going back to a time when he said innocent people were getting killed less than right in obvious reference to the time of the vice president, father, a former president, rodrigo, to try to find below alger 0. many of the and brazil is for our ministers as his country won't enter a trade war with the united states. this week president donald trump announced 25
