framework, but what does it mean for europe? a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line, the . these are ongoing talks and discussions. i'm not going to detailed them here. there are american lives at stake. you know, as, as dates concerns, it's health direct talks with him us, well donald trump issues a warning seeking the release of food captives held in concepts the hi, my name is heidi. this is aaron knights from dev, also coming up european nations israel to allow food fuel and medicine into the gallons, a strip of palestinians go hungry and manual, not chrome vows to keep working with european allies to support ukraine on who owns from to be ready in case the united states is no longer on the sides. tough to go

on tire, of kind of those, just some through the holes. a phone call with donald from, as the us decides to postpone levies on some quotes you make is the, the white house that's confirmed that the trump administration has held direct tools with a mouse. it's the 1st time the u. s. has engage directly with time us, which it's designated a terrorist organization in 1997 white house press directory. caroline lovetts declined to comment on the scope of the discussions when it comes to the negotiations that you're referring to. first of all, the special envoy he's engaged and as negotiations does have the authority to talk to anyone on israel was consulted on this matter and look dialogue and talking to

people around the world to do what's in the best interest of the american people is something that the president has proven is what he believes is, is a good faith effort to do what's right for the american people. is it just about the hostages, or are they also talking about the president's plan to take over? these are ongoing talks and discussions. i'm not going to detailed them here. there are american lives at stake. i would refer you to the department of state for further details, but i'm not going to get into those talks here to have an official has moved from the white house. if there's an indication a don't, somebody's going to approach things differently and rip up the playbook that has been used in the past. it is this, this is hugely significant. how much was a group that was designated by the united states as a 10 of your organization back in 1997 and the us has a long standing. busy but it does not negotiate or meet with terrorist organizations. now we find that item bullet,

who is the president invoice for hostage affairs, has helped discussions with senior home us biggers in dual ha. over the last few weeks now were told that the israelis have been informed of those discussions, but not told about all the details. they've been talking about the release of 59 captive still in guys a. it's believe $22.00 of them may still be alive. but it's also so the talks are broken into a wider peace deal. we know that steve, what color is the mind that donald trump costs with the idea of extending the c spot and guys, and also seeing if there was prospect for the wider peace. he has no postpone this trip to the region twice. so a lot of these discussions with him us to be ongoing. and it just shows that things have changed dramatically with donald trump, back in the white house. i would for sure. i'll just see you at the white house in washington. i mean, while donald trump is issued, what he called a last wanting to have miles to release all the remaining is really captives and

gaza comes off to trump. met with the families of captives still being held in gaza offices. amazing. he took the social media threatening palestinians in garza with death if they continue to hold the captives. now it's been 5 days since israel comp, food, fuel and medicine to the goals and strip millions of palestinians who have already in georgia is a year of war. now struggling to find supplies a desperately need you and it says that as roles located has moved and doubled food prices. wise groups accused as role of using salvation as a weapon. and officials enduro by the say, lack of fuel will make it nearly impossible to treat sewage or even pump clean water. sorry, cup a zoom is in con units. he says, as well as decision to locate, into gauze is making to die. humanitarian,

the situation was this is say, shingles inquiry to the gaza strip has added further an additional humanitarian of financial burdens on the already marginalized palestinians who have been heavily impacted from the israeli military operations and cause over the course of the past year. and how we know that civilians are right now trying to stole forward despite the sky. rocketing prices resulted from the clouds of borders as not just a leaf with that has been highly required. so medical supplies along side also with the essential reconstruction materials but full civilians. now during the whole, the month of ramadan, there is a very desperate need for the entry over humanitarian aid to the strip where this paper has been used. quite as this card has been used widely by use failed to gain more leverage on how much um, too excessive paid or redid. tell you humanitarian situation. we have been speaking to people on the ground in the city of con eunice, and you have heard her rustic testimonies for them,

sharing how this as to the station and on that has been made by these, by the side has led to significant due to your ration and their humanitarian conditions that's have a list of the contrast there was already a shortage of goods even before the closest and this is only meet the situation westlaw naturally. prices of skyrocketed, particularly for baby street. another child related to the side of them. yeah. then yeah, yeah, this is charge of onto the process has become extremely high, are used to buy these vegetables for 2 shekels, and now they cost $6.00 or 7 shekels per ounce. we don't know what to do. everything is scarce and there is no money and people of fostering. and in top of that, c, u. n. t. officials have said that concerns that their food warehouses would be even enough for a few weeks. then later they will start struggling to provide humanitarian services for millions of palestinians in cause. we understand that they will be forced to

downsize the full parcels that are scheduled to be distributed for families in order to help them to cope with this aggravating crisis. but all of these show efforts that have been made by do c, a military and organizations cannot be lost in light of this band. what different regional countries and you and institutions have called for an immediate, a release and at the delivery of humanitarian agents is due to the garza stripe in order to avoid the chevy cost of from and to new me again and to add loans to gaza strip into a new wave of desperation and sufferings, that has no end in sight. diplomats of the united nations and cooling on israel to abide by its obligations in the gaza strip. the coals. com is all continues to block you monetary and deliveries into the territory. officer, the official and the phase one last week,

gabriel was on the reports from the united nations in york. secret code d. u and senior humanitarian and reconstruction coordinator for guys a brief to the council in closed session. afterwards. diplomatic sources tell us that, among other things, she explained to the counsel, how is real continuing to block entry points in the guys? it is affecting the flow of humanitarian aid. after the meeting, 5 european members of the council, france the u. k slovenia, denmark and greece issued a joint statement, a recorder on israel to abide by it, so vacations under joshua lu and too low and facilitates the safe. unconditional must've an hunting dirt delivery of humanitarian aid of scale as well as to ensure the protection of civilians and other pet protect the best persons, including humanitarian workers in line with international human 30. and lou deanna

is a council member. and after the meeting, i caught up with their ambassador and asked about israel's actions. i would just say it's extremely concerning, really worry. and we really hope that the did. you could be salvage. because really at this point in time, we can't afford 4 people in gas and not to be fat. funding continues to be a major challenge. on wednesday, the un said they have secured less than 10 percent of the $4000000000.00 needed for their emergency response plan. for the occupied palestinian territories gabriel's onto i would use either at the united nations in new york is really on the as i see, new demolition orders against more homes and the newer shands refuge account in the northern occupied west bank. i live this week is really ami, destroyed 11 houses in the account. some people managed to briefly visit the homes

on to they've been forced to leave them and hijacked reports of these displaced palestinians a trying to catch a glimpse of the homes. they were expelled from last month, but they were chased away by these really military. one of them is awesome. i will studies. his home is among the 17 houses is really on the says it will demolish a suit for living. i have come to the ssl. yeah, and i received a cools 13 minutes ago that the house will be demolished on it. so i came, who was my family to try and get some of our belongings. let me what can i say now? i was late to some families including the customs, managed to enter that come a much different sites. then once they had left behind these really all me, his lead a seat on the north, some refugee camp since mid february, and demolished 11 houses earlier this week,

including the college of bonnie's house. he was expecting the demolition, but says nothing prepared him for this my but some below the model and i'll cut a little bit. it's not the not showing the demotion of homes but destroying us in the dreams. we didn't tell fighters inside, but they still demolished the house that destroying us, a cindy and say the destruction is strategic. things to change the landscape of the refugee camp known for its type alleyways. this is a drunk shots from the north. some of the refugee camp these homes highlighted, have now been demolished, more homes that are expected to be destroyed in the coming days. earlier, a call could barely drive through this narrow leeway, but with these homes destroyed, the streets will now be white. the palestinians believe this will allow, is rarely forces to raise the company will freely in the future instead of safety

and security home for many. now resembles danger and loss, then how the help of the carrier took. we have families acquiring a cab from their homes that might not be that the next time they're allowed to initially build for palestinians to seek temporary shelter. to know, some refugee camp has existed for more than 7 decades on generations have attempted to return to their homes in what is now israel. but they now find themselves kicked out from the very place they sold refuge and how many haji elders era, the president and money on my chrome has won that russia is a threat to friends on europe. and it televised address to the nation. he cooled on

your. busy opinions to unite by spending more for the collective defense i called speech comes a day before a crucial european secures amazing as late as scrambled to agree on a response to the changing foreign policy in washington. the national butler reports now from brussels on what to expect from you so much. what since that is all stories of office meeting between ukrainian president for low demand zalinski and us president donald trump. it's been a dizzying few days for europe's leaders. betty able to keep up with the pace of offense as pace. coldwell, a line for the up tend trumps refusal until now to of the key for new york. security guarantees in the event of the ukraine ceasefire has shield a confident, fearful of russian aggression. but will say propelled it into action. no defendant guessing we must at any time united as your opinions determined to protect ourselves. you are points to ramp up the defense spending arms production and

submitted free cooperation. this tool because it being a defining moment for europe. a wakeup call. since world war 2, the us has insured europe security, helping to create nato and deploying thousands of soldiers as a deterrent. if the us steps away bidding the gap wouldn't be easy, because you are blacks with and towards nation. if we put in european airpower, we could probably clear the skies over ukraine. that would be a significant benefit for ukraine, but, but ultimately, no, i mean, do we have what it takes to, at this point in time to, to are russia? i think the edge of that is really no. absolutely do you are paul limits in brussels, parts of the building will the separated. so if you'd control these to you are on the west for nearly 3 decades. fragments of a cost, the still cost a long shadow. there's a real sense of urgency in europe as easily does prepare for the emergency summit on ukraine that we talking about bolstering age, the keys, defense, silver and c,

for the continents on franco bridge to ship it, to draw up a piece quite a few crane that would be possible to washington, we need to ensure that the us, u. k. your, when you prior to working together, but we must not choose between the us and your person and from say you or intrigues could be deployed to ukraine to keep a future peace. but not everyone's convinced, require me to call them. i can let pressik one of the problem with a peacekeeping force. it's not something for 3 years or 6 months. it could be 30 years. nothing will happen without the agreement, the russians, and the us. and without us support, the e. u isn't only back to the external hostilities. i'm greece probably most good leader think to open a poses. you crania, aid for the you to tackle is security, emergency it, most insurance plans and all the rail from within before it's too late. latasha

butler, i'll do 0 brussels slabs on out. is there a gemini looks out increasing its defense budget optic gives us on the spending bucket faces some challenges last on tony chung, in ne, in china where housing over supply has now left 60000000. they can home the, if there is any one real name for this mess of cloud and potential sand storms, it's just happened and it's a storm system and is not going your way effect of these expanding. now it doesn't cover everybody with something to write being put in shift and north of syria, which should be looking fine. indeed in turkey, give me a lovely time. so stays a sunny day and things turn in the cypress as well down towards 11. but this line

is pretty consistent knowles, inside the just catching jordan as well. that's heavy. right. and i think we get some funding from that overnight that keeps attention that the man doesn't drop below 9. and even in the high ground in turkey is moving up slow to these on like time terms. friday leads us to see the rain moving officers, syria, and the rocks disappearing from in design. so the sun should come out if you guys are just advised. but the extent of this rain is pretty, pretty big. you can see the orange top, it's just a heavy rainy rock trying to be some funding here, possibly chart, eastern savvy. you might get a few shots. this process is cut off and as far west as neck, and that's true for next thing, sir. in southern africa, although it's looking west in the north of mounting gasket, there's no potential to add to the flooding that's been recently around in some countries is looking west 9 go to and increasing the in this western side of south africa.

the latest news families, the clean is what eatable environments often became separated into chaos, leaving the children stranded for in damage childers with detailed coverage. the fathers, mothers, and children until every last one is found, the will, will never to be over from the house at the story. schools and universities were all destroyed, depriving 10001000 of how the thing is from proper access to education. of the looking back you watching out as a reminder on the top stories, the sal, otherwise, house house concern that the trump administration has how direct talks with him,

us maintaining that discussions are in us interest. then donald trump issues a warning to palestinians in garza with dest, if the captive signal released the french president monument cross as this country needs to be ready in case united states has no longer on this side, says france will continue to support you crate until it to negotiate peace with russia. alia the us said it would pause, sharing intelligence with you. craig, just days off the suspending ministry. 816. the c i a director says that the decision to suspend and toes and sharing is temporary. and that washington expects to was you minutes, cooperation with keith. if progress is made on peace negotiations with russia as we have taken a step back and or pausing and reviewing all aspects of this relationship. but i

just got off the phone before i walked out here with my counterpart, ukrainian national security advisor. we are having good talks on a location for uh uh for the next round of negotiations on delegations on substance. uh, so just in the last 24 hours, uh, since the public statement from zelinski. and then the subsequent conversations which i'm going to walk inside and continue. i think we're going to see a movement in very short order on the white house is also said that it's reconsidering it's pools on funding for ministry, a to ukraine. will that move was made on monday president, florida. miss lensky says, ukraine. i'm the us have started discussions about an upcoming meeting. never too much decided to yes, we are preparing for the you summit, which will take place tomorrow and brussels. everyone can see how fast the magic advance arm folding today. ukrainian and american teams begin working on an

upcoming meeting under yet a mac and mike both held tools and we've seen for my meantime, we hope to see the 1st results. next week, mike tells us it is in key for all. see says us intelligence is vice, hold to the credit invoice it a response to ukraine and come on up with a unit close to the front lines. he said that his unit and many like him, right? the way along that 1300 kilometer front line and the east and south of ukraine relied on american ins. busy regions gathering for around 90 percent of the intelligence work that is done. and he said that they didn't receive no help today . and that indeed the american seemed to have turned that system off. of course us intelligence is critical for the defense of ukraine. for example, with respect to the use of the patriot missile system, this is a system that is one of if not the only systems that can knock out russian

ballistic missiles. according to the ukrainian ministry, 3 ballistic missiles were launched into grade last night we understand that ukrainian military, not all of them out, but it is great concern, obviously as we go into night, once again, a time where there are usually more drone and ballistic missile attacks from the russians with respect to the wide uh us freeze on weaponry that. busy coast concerns about access now to spare parts to repairing kit that is already being given by the americans. we're talking about things like tanks, the symbols, and as a cams me, sol systems. there's also a concern about all tennessee shells. we know that the us gave around $4500000.00. i'm all up to the ratios and the 3 is since this full scale invasion by russia solitude, we know that ukrainians are looking towards europe for, for help and replacing those shelves. the ukranian say that they have

a little bit of a buffet, so i'm a little bit of time on their hands. they say that i'm upset are also those around 60 percent of the kids that they use is american kids. but of course, the longer this goes on, the more pressure, the ukrainian military is facing and it seems is the kind of pressures that donald trump is putting on blood him is zalinski is beginning to have traction, child stuff. but i'll just say era. keith, to germany now with friedrich nets, the conservative leda unlikely. the next john slur plans to dramatically increase defense funding on expand the military face with the prospect of supposing ukraine without the help of the united states most is proposing changes to the constitution that would remove the limits on borrowing and his out is there is dominic caden reports from valid and guessing the changes through parliament could pose a challenge. and so decades germany's defensive spending has been among the lowest

in europe. but all that changed when russia invaded ukraine ministers decided to invest more than $125000000000.00 on defense. helping to push spending on it's to 2 percent of g d. p. a crucial may so target. but with donald trump in the white house, the situation has evolved. now germany's light green next shotzel says action is needed. you didn't just have a splendid stock sort too. and we will seek to amend the constitution so that our national defense spending of over one percent of g d p is not subject to the debt break. i want to say this very clearly view of the threats to our freedom and peace on our contents. the same us now apply to our defense, whatever it takes, and it's likely to take a lot because way, once germany had around 4 or 5 years in maine, bustle tanks, now it has fewer than $300.00, which is why any meeting for the expansion of the military here will involve borrowing on a vast scale, but as a catch to get what he wants, matt,

so we'll need a 2 thirds majority in parliament. he knows he won't have that in the one that was elected 2 sundays ago. instead, you'll have to rely on support from his dream policy opponents in the last parliament, which is still sitting technically for a few more weeks. but the clock is ticking because the plan will be voted on on monday, the 17th of march. and right now, the greens have not made up their minds of you whether we will agree to this fundamental law change in the end is still on 9 by the by we have a number of questions and the other parties know we have our own opinion of what is necessary right now to the fall rifle tentative for germany has reacted angrily to the plants threatening legal action that even if the plan is approved on march the 17th, it will still also need to search support in the upper house of parliament. and the numbers that are even tied to the one that came out to 0 bullet or

pressure from some of the well, it's not just called make is has forced us president donald trump, to delay a portion of his tariff package on canada. the white house has agreed to suspend 25 percent tire spine month. for some vehicles, the levies and all the goods will remain in place to move. the canadian government has said will devastate the economies of both countries. as we spoke with the big 3 auto dealers, we are going to give a one month exemption on any autos coming through us m. c. a reciprocal terms will still go into effect on april 2nd. but at the request of the companies associated with us, m ca, the president is giving them an exemption for one month. so they are not an economic disadvantage. well, that climbed out on comic is came off to a certain coal between trump and canadian prime minister justin treat us chaper sounds he has moved from well. so the white house says old trump told justin true

that he wasn't please. the canadian government's actions hasn't been good enough as far as preventing fentanyl from reaching the us arkansas and all of. busy the conversation did, and in a somewhat friendly mamma, it has been made by some trump, administration officials. they all unhappy with some of the rhetoric from the to the government regarding from tyrus, including what a seem to be rather disrespectful times used about donald trump. and it does seem that the white house was trying to show a calm truck for constructive dialogue with the c. o is the 3 main us call makers who appeared to have managed to, to get a call about some us or to make of supply lines from canada, or as far as the negotiations with kind of are concerned, it does not seem vague guide as well. she advertising seattle to 0 also. uh

president. trump is also impose 25 percent higher. so in mexico, blaming americas southern neighbor failing to crack down on the slow of drugs and people across the border. the american vice president j. the vance was out the us mexico border where he said the types of been used as leverage for the present. it says we need to sustain commitments from the government of mexico to take the job of border security. seriously. fentenol is the single largest cause of death among young americans, and we know that a substantial portion of it is, you know, the precursors are made in china. they come to mexico, they're manufactured in mexico and brought across the border by the mexican drug cartels. we want to see fewer americans dying of these terrible fit and all overdose is when we're going to play as much leverage as possible. so the mexican government as possible south korea's f o says 8 civilians have been injured during a minute free exercise. the incident took place in the city of coach young,

the mis 5, almost positive cluster of 8. munitions dropped from a fight to jets, one of which missed its targets and landed in a civilian area. solitude in these photos is of a rest of the petroleum minister, as well as several senior ministry officials allied with the vice president, rick michelle. the rest came off to intense fundraising and recent weeks and the northern town of miss, sir, between the all me, i'm the white army militia loyal too much. all our media reports fioma has also been deployed around massages, residence, residence out of kia and his deputy, a long time levels leading a unity government since 2020, as one of the major problems facing the chinese government. this weeks national people's congress is the real estate sex to the building day in which for so long fueled rapid growth stuff. it's during the economic slowdown,

leaving developers crippled by debt and invest is empty handed. tiny chang reports, delegates assembled in the great hold of the people. i'm one of the biggest challenges the property market. but china is premier said, the problem is under control. talk to you from 1st were made to stem the downturn and the restore stability in the real estate market. we reduce the interest rates for housing, lowes, and the ratios of don payments with the promise of tax cuts and lower interest rates help. it's too late for investors. the grand river side they in northeast in china, the luxury sea side departments. we designed the affluent retirees.
