fear is that for return to civil war and selves to don after and governments administer and senior military officials are arrested. civilians are wounded in south korea when the ministry accidentally drops phones during life fire exercises, [000:00:00;00] news . hello, the white house has confirmed its holdings direct talks with headlines. it's the 1st time the united states has acknowledge direct interaction with the group and designated a quote, terrorist organization and 1997. the white house, as israel has been consulted, but presidential envoy out in bowler has also already to speak to anyone. president donald trump is issued what she called,

a last warning to her mouth to release all the remaining captives in gaza. his comments came after he met with those who had previously been released. he posted on social media, threatening to kill palestinians in gaza. if they continue to hold captives. alan fisher says more details from the white house. this is an indication that donald trump is going to approach things differently and rip up the playbook that has been used in the past. it is this, this is a huge look significant from us was a group that was designated by the united states as a ton of historic united nation back in 1997. and the us has a long standing. busy but it does not negotiate or meet with terrorist organizations. now we find out that adam buller, who is the president invoice for hostage affairs, has helped discussions with senior. how much vigorous 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 mine the donald trump costs with the idea of extending the c spot and guys. and also seeing if there was prospect for a wider piece. he has no postpone just shipped to the region twice to load 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 island for sure. i'll just see that at the white house in washington. we'd have to correspondence on this story and i'm going to hear from honeywell float. got it and does a city 1st will speak to new to her with the, joining us from my mind because the is really government on policy and already have been delta 0 from reporting from inside israel and the occupied was bank news. any is really reaction to this public acknowledgement that the us has held direct talks

with homeless as well. no official statement for say, although they use rarely media is full of reports that again, about some concerns that israel has about. that contact of course, is really wasn't informed ahead of time. it wasn't asked for its opinion about this stuff. according to those reports, it was told afterwards. uh, but the is really government is really officials are very careful not to seem to confront or oppose what trump does in public. and so for now, these really media reports are down playing the significance of such a contact, saying that it really was to focus on the release of that is really captive to hold american citizenship. one of them, at least, is believed to still be alive. the families of is really captive, are focusing on the need to have a ceasefire, and really that they don't have any trust and nothing else. so they're holding all

their hopes on trump. regardless of his strategy, there has been no official response either about the threats that donald trump has issued against him of the population in gaza. although a lot of statements coming out are focusing on the trump plan for godaddy. and in other words, to, to expel the population of the gaza strip and to level the entire area. that really seems to be more the focus as well as, you know, the, the threats that were issued by, by trump big contrast. of course, the palestinian media has been focused on the significance of the meeting, but also on the fact that trump's outrage about withholding bodies doesn't seem to apply to the hundreds of palestinian bodies that israel continues to hold some since the 19 sixty's, but many who died in his really captivity because of mistreatment. people like dr. i've done the books for example,

who died from torture according to reports and his body continues to be held by israel, a denying family the right to bury him in peace and dignity. okay, thank you so much note all day reporting from i'm on for it's been 5 days since israel blocked all food fuel and medicine from entering gauze on and with supplies dwindling fast european countries of issue to joint urgent statements. the foreign ministers of germany, france and the u. k. have called on israel to abide by its international obligations. they say humanitarian aid should never be contingent on a cease fire or use as a political tool hiding before joining us from gaza city. we'll get onto the issue of aids in a moment tiny, but 1st there was needs to be stressed by donald trump, to him, us telling them that they must release all the captives as how much responded to

these threats or said anything about the talks going on between hamas and he was as well as the balls the reactions of right. how about directed to the the news about the talks between from us and the us as a, as a positive sign sign that dicks i locations forward that it never happened before. it's unexpected. and quite unpredictable donald for how much, but for a lot of people, when the, the news came out that uh about the direct talk to me and from us in the us. a lot of people reacted you know way that this is that it's never happened before. and something that they did not expect, and that's where we see much of the, the reaction, how much not only appreciated the, the meetings, and the talks in and believe it's going to be taking it over huge in one step forward for a more comprehensive deal at for the release of captives as well as for the in the board. but when it comes to the threat, there is something that wasn't quite a predictable unexpected. donald trump,

this is not the 1st time he's been threatening palestinian directly with this. the just continued to pour his, the frustration and anger and on top of spinning and once the one you wanted them to, to be relocated. and then in a more of a blunt way, the calling for dave nick, glenn, they go palestinians, and now he is living these express and intimidation. and it's part said the language of, with threats and intimidation are not going to change or is not going to change anything on the ground only by moving forward to the 2nd phase of the 3 phase, these spire that been agreed upon. it's the only guarantee that is going to release the captain's other than this. it's not gonna change much on the ground. and that's pretty much the, the reaction that we're getting it from how much and the weights responded to what's going on. honey, what are palestinians having to deal with on the grounds on a day to day basis as it is, of course the holy month of ramadan where people are fasting,

and you have this is really blockades on basic essentials, entering 1000 of the world right now. the reading, getting food medicine and other basic necessities is a daily bad are for palestinians. apart from the fact that people do not have the financial capability is to afford sky rocketing prices and costs in the market. the market does not have enough to satisfy their needs. there are the ongoing, there are extreme experience, extreme for dishes, uh when they go to the market and find what, what the but they need to feed their families. that particularly of this month, people are fasting, and they are forced to break their fast and whatever they are able to get it from oregon. i vision to provide food parcels or meals to break their fast, but ongoing the restriction that are, i'm typing a block. kids are just making survival of something that is even harder for people

here on the ground. we're seeing not only the markets are the leading, but whatever is available is either available at a very small amount does not again satisfy the larger needs or it's of a. 7 cause very expensive for people. busy to afford and that's just for the food part of food supply. there are other basic necessities. for example, hospitals are much needed to operate at a very high and efficient level and are unable to do so because of the lack of supply necessary medical supplies. me to go to equipment. there is a shortage of medical equipment, surgical jewel, an item as simple as pain killers. i'm not available in, in the hospital. all is resorting to alternatives. are not giving the same equality over the treatment. so, and so all in all, what we're looking at is a very difficult situations at all levels that is being exacerbated in each passing day. just the past hour. we've seen many of the trucks the are empty, the past months, many of these are direct,

were pulled with many of the basic fact as critical needs for people are now the stock on the other side of the gaza strip, the board or the crossings, and people are going hungry just a few miles away from the crossing point. many of these, the trucks are not moving to bring much needed items lit along the mobile homes, the 10s that are needed for people who are end up sleeping industries. honeywell most reporting from drives of cities. thank you. the ukraine says a russian strike on a hotel and the jenny pro petroff screech and has killed at least 4 people. dozens of fathers, including a child, were wounded in the late night attack. emergency crews have been evacuating people from the 5 story building. russian forces have been advancing towards the industrial region in recent weeks. moscow also says it's captured another

expect from that meeting? as well, in just over an hour, a used 27 leaders will be arriving in brussels to this emergency summit on ukraine, and they raise a feeling head that europe's very survival in future could be at stake. we heard from the french presidency manual, my call, who made an address to the french nation on wednesday t. cool. this a new era thing just was a turning point where he's was, he says that the washer is no longer just threatening ukraine, but he's potentially a threat to europe. he says that united states is changing costs and can no longer be relied upon to insure and guarantee your security in the future. that is why leaders when they meet here in a little while they will be talking about how to re um your how to make sure the

you could become saw for an in terms of defense to bolster and increase defense spending across the european union and military coordination does a real fear that the us could step away and leave the euro fundable to russian. the question of the aggression you currently present, load them is lensky will also be here for lunchtime, meeting with the leaders your is saying that it will continue. it supports and as a full ukraine, it wants to increase that again to fill in the void left by the united states. so they'll be talking about, that's a little bit about sending a message to the united states to washington and to most go that your opinion is united. that is what they want to say. they also want to say that they all doing everything they can to make sure that they can try and go to learn in the future. a franco british piece plan for ukraine also meant to be discuss natasha. what more do we know about this plan? yes, the french and the british have been working on

a plan for peace. ukraine with ukrainian officials trying to come up with something that could be palatable to washington. they have to hurry up. so there is a sense of time running out because washington's actions also unpredictable so that they know that they will be there. we will have to have some great talk discussions today, including on this slide to, oh, potentially sending peacekeepers from europe to safeguard any ukrainian supply deal in the future from some persons either happy to send troops on the ground, but also european countries the same they on know, for example, a 100 and so they will be some top discussions on that. i know he's just an acknowledgment that at this stage, the defense capability of europe, of thought peacekeepers just simply wouldn't be enough for this stage without this huge investment, which could take many, many years in europe so that they would need some form of us back. so the french

and the partition still hoping that that might happen. phones is also say. busy 3 french present to manual micro 3 could be open to expanding its nuclear deterrent to other european countries. false is the username of nuclear power. the box has never been done before. it's never been debated before that it would extend vasta such just case to show you the sense of real crisis, an urgency here in process. okay, thank you. natasha butler reporting from brussels. a self susan, as far as those of the rest of the petroleum minister and several senior military officials allied with vice president. reacting to char, the russ come after intense bottles in northern town of nasir between the army and fighters, loyal to mature. soldiers surrounded the vice president's home in the capital, juba, on tuesday nights. he and president sel, look here are long time rivals they've let have fragile unity government since the end of the civil war in 2018 malcolm lab has this update from nairobi. neighboring,

please home item on concrete measures be taken to prevent any recurrence of civilian casualties until adequate unacceptable safety measures are implemented. i cool for an immediate suspension of old military training activities. you mean this is all this drill is linked to the annual freedom shield exercises between us and south korean forces due to stock next week. what we're doing right now is building our readiness, our capability in our inner ability to ensure that we can defend the republic to create against any threats. the drills come with a time of heightened tensions with north korea, which says the pro view to war, and coincide with the arrival of the us aircraft carrier call. vincent in korea and wolf has condemned by kim jo jones. the influential sister of north korea's lead us as part of a policy of confrontation by the us. there's also a growing uncertainty about washington's position on its military presence on dependency left. in his 1st 10 president,

donald trump canceled the joint drills and has demanded south korea pays more for the soldiers base to aust about the future of these exercises. the joint military come onto has responded. oscar whitehouse, public broad, i'll just say era. so a 2 aton now which is mining bitcoin to make up for falling tourism revenue. it's using the funds to pay for government spending. bernard smith has been to the capital to see why the crypto currency has become such an important part of the economy. and boot time gold is everywhere, a booty symbol of the everlasting nature of enlightenment. now the small emulating kingdom is investing in the future. it hopes will be blessed with what buckets called digital gold bitcoin. it's also finalized and supposedly everlasting, hundreds of people who have made billions of dollars on the back of bickley as

while governments being ma, is prime ministers chatting, tough guy, he says big coin is a strategic reserve one currently worth more than a $1000000000.00. we have use bitcoin to for how to provide free healthcare environments. but these are my know, the main use of big green has been to finance the salaries of public servants who time is built. big coin mines at locations across the country with thousands of energy hungry computers, solve complex mathematical puzzles, to claim big coins. and here's what's powering this modern day gold rush, hydro generated electricity. the government says it's big going operation is carbon neutral, relies only on water from the himalayas is also very profitable. we through times, computers being rewarded with big coins, that at current prices at up to millions of dollars a week. futon is a small country, large scale manufacturing in agriculture on possible. almost all food is imported

and options, but economic development are limited. i would be very worried if our government was buying between uh, including in between. but uh, i think the kind of reassurance for us with new citizens is that the government is mining it. you're using the cheap hydropower and the sort of exporting it at a very cheap rate. we are using it to mine betweens, in high mountains of done and what am i required? the chief executive of futons of silver and holding company, just exploring bitcoin and other new technologies is vital to economic development . i think you can not run away from looking cannot run away from me. i hope junction in the i will combine the industry of money if i may see. and how money flows from one hand to another because it's one of the biggest innovation in the space of money in 4093. from the time, do you remember where money was discovered or invented? with the boots and these one day be making big coined offerings to buddha. the

prime minister thinks the world is heading and negatively towards using and exchanging bitcoin just like any other currency. but smith, i'll just share a simple boot time or who will speak to berner. that was running us once again, something blue. so bernard we saw on your package that boots on has shoot reserves, a big corner. to what extent are they leading the way? this may allow other governments to policy did they all essentially leading the ways? one of the few very rare state sponsored big pointing mining operations around the world are plenty of, of the private individuals doing it. but one of the most embed one of the most important variables when he talk about big coin, my mining is the cost to do it in the energy costs. so a big point today is going to cost you $91500.00. if you're in the republic of ireland, the most expensive place in the world, a bit going to might be going. it will cost you $321000.00 to get that big point. there's clearly not economically viable,

and there are plenty of other european countries where the costs do over a $100000.00 to do it. so there's, there's no revolt and boot time it costs to them over $9900.00 to mind. a big point . one of the cheapest places in the world to do it. that's why it works so well for the boot cities. interestingly, iran is the cheapest place on earth in terms of energy costs. so mine big coin and just over 1000, by $1200.00. that, but iran, you're writing government is clumping down, and individuals doing it because of the amounts of energy best sucking from that of that not to very stable power. so burner boots on also charges tourists a $100.00 a day to visit how sustainable as a guide given the following visitor numbers and the need for the economy to grow as well. i think it's pretty live, it's everyone i've spoken to. since i've been here from the prime minister down, he's very proud of boot times,

philosophy of gross national happiness based. and i did introduced by the full king in the mid seventies to prioritize wellbeing, excuse me, unhappiness over economic development. but do you time does need to develop economically, people got bills to pay. i may have perhaps the best educated generation for best education uh educated, a young workforce for a for a generation. so they need to create employment for them, but they want to do it sustainably, they say, and that's why they want to keep its $100.00 levy on tourist. in fact, the suggestion that going to put it back up again to $200.00 a message because the government says they don't want over tourism. and if you look at what to we've seen last year, particularly in your protests, from many major european tourist hotspots of people concerned about over tours and boots on my look down and say, well, we can make enough money and keep the environment clean and our society stable by

limiting for them. i'm charging them high fee to come in. so here there's no plans to reduce that towards them. live 8 instead looking at making money. in other words, okay, bernard smith reported from simple put on thank you. as part of most presidents has called donald trump, a lawyer in response to the us. presidents comment that his administration had started taking back the panama canal. trump says the nation has violated the terms of a treaty and is allowing china and other countries to control the american built waterway . here's our enlighten america, editor of the c. a newman with the story. the panama canal is again at the center of rapidly deteriorating ties between the united states and one of its closest regional allies. following president donald trump's renewed, promised take back the intro psionic waterway. to further enhance our national security. my administration will be re flaming the panama canal and we've already

started doing animals, president sergio lino responded harshly, calling trump a liar again. president trump is lying. he wrote the panama canal is not in the process of being recovered. it is panamanian, and will remain panamanian. this week, black rock, us multi national company, announced that struck a deal to buy 2 ports in the panama canal that had been brought in by a chinese company. panama had hoped that this would counter president trump allegations, that the chinese communist party had strategic control of the world's 2nd largest waterway. instead, the us president is insisting more than ever the panama has broken the terms of the panama canal treaty. and therefore, the us has a right to take it back. china is foreign ministry. spokes person has responded
