and is to take a whole journey tlc, any weakness to their workshops, and the urgency of private action which stop pretending these kind of confidences leak and we'll kind of act takes on the big issues. what else is 0? the the crying says is reached a minerals deal with the united states as part of an economic agreement for this. the no confirmation. yes. the money to find out is there a life from does. so coming up told, well that kills 6 palestinian children named golf as israel refuses to allow mobile homes and districts in violation of the british prime minister announced as

a big defense funding thing. europe is facing a new era in security that requires a generation major powerhouse which across the chalet, that warnings, flights maybe affect the ukraine says it's agreed on a manuals deal with the united states. but there's no confirmation yet from washington. president donald trump has been putting pressure on ukraine to make a deal to repay the us for war time, 8, ukrainian president for arguments. it ends. he has rejected previous demands for billions of dollars and minerals. well, because it didn't come with any security guarantees. charles profit has been following all the license developments from case all this data is being described as sent, sold to ukraine's hopes in trying to win back the favor of the us president donald

trump of to effectively a couple of weeks of a war of what we know that the ukrainians initially rejected the 1st draft proposal, zalinski saying that they didn't offer sufficient security guarantees from the us latest saying that he wasn't prepared to basically sell ukraine out. and we are getting reports. now certainly, according to the reuters news agency that the presence of lensky could be traveling to the us on friday to meet donald trump officer. an agreement over this deal has now been made. there are various other reports being um, being reported on the international media. one goes into detail about exactly what this and potential deal may mean. it says that involves jointly developing mineral resources, including oil and gas off to the us dropped. it's to mullens for effectively

500000000000 in compensation for the aid and the contributions that he's made to for ukraine in the will say fall. and they're also reports that this will involve the setting up of some sort of fund of funding which ukraine would control 50 percent. and the proceeds would go towards the, the funding of, of projects. one can only imagine in relation to the pre construction of ukraine. but as i say, this is usually significant because it has been such a difficult time for ukraine in dealing with the kind of pressure is that seemingly the us administration has put on it with respect to this deal. and we wait for further confirmation and details from ukraine in the coming hours. child stuff alger 0. keith as bringing island fisher. he is live for us in washington. d. c.

allen for ukraine. the hope with this deal is that they will pay the way for a better relationship with the united states, as well as the security commitment. what's in it for the united states? we'll look at this was a done deal. we'll just have from donald trump in the oval office as he was signed, the executive orders within the last hour and he didn't cool about a deal being signed and we knew if he'd managed to do that, then he'd be keen to let the world know that as far as he's concerned, the great negotiator, once again saying the deal for the united states. what he did say is, but he's a weight of reports that loaded me as a way alley could well be coming to washington. and the, i'm going to stop here that for me, i mean, i don't, i'm going to stop you back because i've been a, we, we come play that interview with donald trump was speaking to the media about the day. let's have a listen. yeah

i hear that i hear that he's coming on friday. certainly it's okay with maybe like 2 and a he would like to sign it together with me and i understand that's a big deal. very big deal. and i take the american people, even if you're looking following, they're very happy because, you know, by the way, throwing money around like it's cotton, candy and it's, uh, it's a very big deal. it could, it could be a trillion dollar deal. it could be whatever. but it's rivers and other things. and look, we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars or ukraine and russia fighting where they should and never ever happened. that's where that you would have never happened of our president. and it didn't happen for 4 years. people's ad, we know that it didn't happen for 4 years would have never happened. and never the less this guy went into this situation and he spent money like nobody's ever seen $350000000000.00. the other thing we don't like is that you are a spent

a 100000000000. we've spent 350000000000 europe gets their money back because they spent it in the form of alone. and we just gave them whether it's 302350 1000000000 . nobody really knows. i can't even tell me the answer to that front media is probably more than that. so what we're doing is now we're saying, look, we want to be secured. we want to get that money back. we're helping the country through a very, very big problem. a problem like very few people that shouldn't have had this problem because it shouldn't happen. but it did happen. so we have to straighten it up, but the american taxpayer now is going to get their money back. plus this for the crown. you said you had spoken to boone about the idea. let's respond back to alan fisher. he's the only person washington out. and so donald trump, the president of the united states, speaking that a little earlier speaking to media about that visit that he's expecting from the crime in president elizabeth zaleski saying that that he wants to come to washington later this week to sign a critical,

critical mineral deal that is central to keeps push to win us ongoing support for us with russia. so not confirming that a deal is done per se. exactly, and if it had been done, you would hear from donald trump because he believes that this would be great for the american taxpayer, and therefore by extension. great for him. and he did talk again about how his $350000000000.00 has been spent by the us. the government supported monitoring unit for ukraine says it's somewhere in the region of a 160000000000 out of course, with that startling moment in the oval office. on monday, when donald trump started talking about how much you had given compared to the us. and we saw president mack on put his hand on donald trump and correct him in the oval office that was quite staggering. no spot as the us is concerned. they will get some money, but they feel that this is an investment because they've been spending money and not seeing anything with time. they also get access to really f minerals,

including the likes of graphite, and also lithium. 2 very important things in the modern economy because of, excuse, and electronics. and that would essentially take at china to the uh, the supply chain. and that's something that donald trump is very keen to do because they're so high supply chains were disrupted by cool. but during del tom's 1st time in office, so he sees all this as a possibility. and sadly, we're moving at the white house on monday, there was talk the, let them use the landscape, would be in town either late on friday at or at some point early next week. and that would suggest, given that there's no noise when that is happening. but this is, this is a done deal. there's no security guarantee for ukraine in this. as far as all of the draft that we've seen, what it does say is the us will want to make sure that there is a strong economic base quote of ukraine going forward, which ties us in to ukraine's future. but maybe not in the way that looked at me was a landscape with like and sadly he had concerns about the deal that was initially

presented to him. so there's maybe a few more i used to be dotted and t's to be crossed before we can say that there is a final deal, but it's certainly seems to be heading in that direction. okay, thank you for that. all in special that support and to of the at least 6 children have died in dallas that because of a lack of protection from the cold weather. one of the victims was a new born go named shaun who passed away inside, displaced families tense and con. unit, tens of thousands of how the city is across the street. on living in one out, 10 simone, the rubble of fed destroyed homes. monetary and crisis across the enclave is being watched and by israel's continued located or fade. by understanding from our humidity and colleagues is that there's been

a lot of challenges in getting tens and caravans and populations. and we continue to push some of going in. but we need, we need more. is that the restriction from these are really all right, that's why you're standing correct? honey. my hired visited one of the hospitals to find out more about the impact this is having them published and you for these machines are peeping desperately to keep the new born baby so lives in this hospital. this is the friends of the patient medical society in the hearts of the gaza strip. and for a lot of people and families, 130 is just another season, but in gaza it has become more of a distance and for these and sense right now. as for insurance and drugs, winter has become so good on the positive to day then babies are dying because of the severe cold, with their families unable to keep them warm. medical officials in the ground reports rise in hypothermia cases and with families unable to keep them warm. the likelihood of these incense a new born, the loser of life are very,

and eventually national consensus. syria has just come out of the state and civil war that causes the divisions alone, security in an ethnic lines. the national, the corpus aims to promote unity. but the company is still going to use or subtracted into salt by is way as the army and the name of governmental authority is china is by um, codes as groups in the northeast which go to nearly one total of the company's territory in a closing statement. the attendees said they are determined to address these challenges in the ab. we condemn is rarely, military incursions in syria, which are blatant violation of serious sovereignty. we call for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of is riley forces. we also emphasize the necessity forming one professional ami, no other groups except the army should hold any on any other group except the army

the back of watching out a 0 mind. the thoughts of the story is but our you praying says it's a read on a minerals deal with the us. there's no confirmation yet from washington. pressing and don't from has been putting pressure on teeth to make a deal to repay the us for telling the age. and the 6 children in golf i have died because of the severe cold, including a newborn baby go to be despised palestinians living and who now tends selling from this section from the lead time, a national conference on serious political few chose wrapped up in damascus. kind of gets approved the formation of several committees that were what over the next 3 years and constitutional reform and transitional justice and u. k prime minister k. a style that has announced a launch increase in defense funding. i had

a trip to washington to meet with us president delmark from is today i have announced the biggest sustained increase in defense spending. since the end of the cold war. we will t minus plus the commitment to spend 2.5 percent of our duty pay on defense. but in light of the grave threats that we face, we will bring forth that target. so we meet it in 2027. that is an increase of 13400000000 pounds. yeah. on. yeah. compared to where we all today. well, selma says it's an opportunity to create jobs, rebuild the case industrial base. but as charlie angela reports, it also wound a possible cost international aid to fund the increase. this announcement has come as a surprise to many a commitment to increase defense spending to 2.5 percent of g d p by 2027. that's

the equivalent of $17000000000.00, the biggest sustained increase in defense spending since the end of the cold war and to pay for it a cost in for an age spending from point 5 to point 3 percent of g d p which will take britain's development policy back to the 1990. so previous labor governments have always raised development to age and the prime minister did look uncomfortable at times. but he did say making this note is going to be the hard choices he's had to make. he says that the country security comes fast, russia is a menace, and britons hold a proof to defend spending must now change labor had committed to increasing defense spending in the manifesto. but it's the timing of this announcement that is key. the prime minister is due to meet president trump at the white house on thursday. and with this he might be hoping to peace from who is being repeatedly cooling the nature of governments to increase the defense budgets. you might also be hoping to find some common ground with trump,

who is also recently caught his countries for an age spending no storm and says that the u. k. will continue to play a humanitarian role in places like see don, ukraine and stalls as well as choice continues to tackle climate change. the charities or recording these cuts catastrophic say say that this is just a political decision coming so soon off of the cuts and us 8. and it's just another lifeline that is now being taken away from those desperate means charlie on to the algebra and at least $63.00 soldiers from the democratic republic of congo is ami a being tried in a military court. charged with does the thing that positions they allegedly flight in the face of the m. 23 rebel groups and bonds in newbury territory, north cuba province, the u. n. as the keys, the army local militia allied to the government and the m. 23 levels of commissioning rights abuses in eastern d all see,

we connie reports from this a commodities government store. this in the middle territory of google pro. he's being played by military court for these this on the closing funding and looking property of this fluid from parsing entered into labels and misleading. so just yeah, and the government wants to show that there is dental fish as well for me, it's the coin. would it be punish? i think, today the actions they have taken dis, credit army and provide on the nation, told the enemies just as must speak. the law is clear. we do not want this happening again in the armed forces of the democratic republic of congo. this is the estimate of the little things place. it would have been appointed by the thing . sonya is more than such a business in india out at the tone the most affected it was most human to do another $75.00. just sort of this old so been tried and sold it to me for see me though. first is,

i am very happy to see that our companies are starting to take things more serious . i believe that our government had no loads to punish the people who stripped us of our belongings. and today they have a risk that they and those who are still at large will be afraid of for the, to the most us. that will be on the here to drop off a little bit will if you on here, he's on page. like on the oh, the 0 go more just on data. see, a military plane has crashed and sued on it happened shortly off to taking off as an asset base and on the, on the caps of cartoon ministry says several on the personnel and civilians have been killed or injured. the cause of the incident is not yet 9. they is bored. agency says that the number of refugees in migrants arriving via the balkans reach has decreased from tech, says in the 1st house of 2023, nearly 50000 people intercepted attempting to enter the overland via bulk and
