the, the, there's no limit to how far the dream contains stuck in your own adventure. now counter adding the gray and it says it's agreed on a minerals deal with the united states, but there's no confirmation yet from watching the main site. this is down to 09 from don't also coming out. cold weather kills 6 palestinian children in jone's as well, refuses to allow mobile homes and districts building a new future. sierra wrap stuff. it's national donald conference. it's happening that seems challenges ahead on the british prime minister announced as

a big boost in defense spending ahead of his visit to the white house, the look into the program. we have some breaking news coming out of ukraine, where officials say that a mineral steel has been reached with the united states in an attempt to improve relations with the trump administration. let's go straight to all to corresponds who are following developments for us. one is in ukraine child stratford, and we have our official in the united states. let's tend to charles fast. charles, what are you hearing coming from ukrainian officials about this do as well so far, according to the reuters news agency, the agencies is signing officials,

a saying that ukraine's cabinets is expected to recommend the minerals deal to be signed on waiting this day. we have very little reaction other than that, so from the findings, but of course this is usually significant because certainly according to the ukrainians that we've been speaking to wait, this is seen as being a means that donald trump can basically get what he wants um is it in skin initially the, the initial draft deal was, was thrown back of the americans by the current in present, the, on demand. this is an escape. so let's keep saying that it didn't have enough security guarantees that has been, we on the stand, as one can imagine significant additional pressure since then. and that includes the kind of insults that president trump us phones and then ski, calling him a dictator implying that ukraine was responsible for starting the war.

so. busy this is a huge significance, the seemingly certainly according to these reports that were guessing the, the ukrainians have been persuaded to turn around. but it is a few significance. also in relation to europe, we saw a macro on the french president in washington last night speaking to the us president donald trump. and. and he indeed say that he saw this potential deal with the us looking at the harvesting of effectively up to 50 percent. we understand all of ukraine's minerals and re us materials. the time scale is as yet unclear macro and himself in dos of this plan. he swore it as being something that the significance the could potentially lead to some sort of the beginnings of a, a true pick peace negotiations. so as i say,

a few significance and we are waiting for more details as they appear in key of this evening. but as i say, it is very late, and it is inconceivable really, that that will be seeing much reaction this evening. okay, and i don't thank you charles profit that for us in that case, let's bring it all in fisher. he's in washington dc. and so they've been several versions of this deal proposed by the united states all have been rejected. now it appears this version has been accepted by ukraine. that's what we're hearing from you. courtney and officials, but still no confirmation coming from the united states. what are you hearing? a hi, we're getting new confirmation, as you say, exactly. as you said, there is no confirmation from american sources. we know that donald trump had suggested that let them use the landscape would be heading to the white house at

some point, either this week or next week to sign a deal. we don't know any dates, so not nothing is being confirmed. we know that the united states wanted a 100 percent of the rate at many roles from ukraine that was obviously rejected by the ukrainians. and that's what led to a great deal of anger between the 2 sites. but there was still negotiations going on. what appears to have been agreed is that the united states will get 50 percent off. the ukraine takes over $500000000000.00 to try and improve the economy in some of the drafts that are circulating under various tasks that are a, one of the key sentences keep repeating, which is the us government intends to provide the long term financial commitment to develop a stable and brick and unlikely, prosperous ukraine. we suggest that whatever happens this time, the us into the ukraine for a significant period of time. what appears to be missing out,

any security guarantees. this is all financial, this is what they're talking about. and the reason the us wants to do a deal like this, 1st of all, the trump believes that the us is owed somewhere in the region of $350000000000.00 for the money that's been provided to help you create and fight this war. even the us government support and ukraine monitoring group says it's much closer to a $150.00 a $160000000000.00 and let them use the last key size. if they were to grands, nope, bones to be under no obligation to pay money back. but perhaps more importantly from the us, 5 percent of the world's rear f minerals are in ukraine. we're talking about graphite, and we're also talking about lithium, very important in the more than the economy. and of course, that would help to china out of the supply chain, something that donald trump has been came to do. but we should of course, drop all this out by saying this is all speculation at the moment. there is no fund confirmation from either side, but this deal has been done,

although it appears both sides of inconclusive to okay, many things for that alan fish a the for us in washington dc. the at least 6 children have died in garza because of a lack of protection from the cold weather. one of the victims was a new born go named sham who passed away inside had displaced families tense. in con eunice, tens of thousands of public opinion is across the street and living in one out 10, some of the rubble of that destroyed homes. the monetary and crisis across the enclave is being west and i as well as continued blockade of aid honey. my mood visited one of the hospitals to find out more about the impact this is having on palestinians. all these machines are peeping desperately to keep the new born baby
