selecting your government to deliver how do you play? first of all, i think the you have to put in solution is that what you the story on the talk to how does era the the so this is in use our own allergies. 0 for the back. people live in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. i imagine c e u summit in brussels to cement support for ukraine and boast of defenses, which is europe can no longer rely on the us. on the ground in ukraine, a russian strike on a hotel has scales for people and ange. it's doesn't small. also this our,

the us confirms it's held direct talks with him off. but president trump also threatens, they'll be hell to pay if it doesn't really solve captives in gaza slots in boot time looking at why this emulating kingdom expecting big on big going. i'm joining us real school with the schools, including action from the waste, the champions league, as livable strength lights to be power such them on one new type now or advantage. and then last 16 time, the thank you for joining is european union need is a holding emergency toxeme brussels. the focus is on increasing military by just to meet the bronx growing secuity needs. 027. a you leaders are at the summit and they're also looking to cement european support for ukraine. this got as,

as the trump administration pivots from is european allies and reset ties with russia. meanwhile, in ukraine, a russian strike and a hotel in the navy pro petrov screech and has killed at least 4 people. dozens of others, including a tribe where wounded in the late night attack, emergency clothes have been evacuating people from the 5 story building. russian forces have been advancing towards the industrial reach any lease of weeks. moscow also says it's captured and not a settlement in the doing the screeching. or we have correspondents in moscow keys in brussels this hour. let's 1st go to natasha butler, who is in belgians capital. natasha, you leaders in crisis mode in brussels. what are we expecting from this summit? is conscious i'm, it's an emergency summit on ukraine. a sense here you're, it's very survival is future. could be a state. we've been seeing some usually just beginning to arrive is seen that you

counsel chief antonia costa green, friedrich, much of germany, germany's likely future chancellor. a short while ago, much has been talking about the need for jeremy to up is defense spending and supporting other new nations doing that. also, a french presence, a manual, my call will be arriving shortly to we understand this comes off the keys, television to address to the nation on wednesday evening in which he said, we are living in a dangerous world, a new reality, a new era because the us he said, is changed. course it is. turning its back on its european allies on ukraine. it may not insure your security in the future. russia is a threat, said micro not just to ukraine, but also to phones and the rest of your as well. we've heard that the kremlin has responded to this, the kremlin saying that michael speed was disconnected. the connected from reality

say, well, leaders will also be talking to the crating pricing for low dom is lensky is going to be here in person, of course, talking about what he's country needs you need is a pledging that ongoing commitment and support for more ukrainian 8 they know they're going to have to step glass off if they have to fill any void left by the united states in the future. the message really with this summit is it's urgent. time is really running out to do something falls on defense spending in the your opinion, your needs to re, um, it needs to be able to defend itself in the future. and it needs to send and project the message of unity and natasha. a franco british piece planned for ukraine will also be discuss, i understand what more do we know about this fine? or the french and the british have been working on this uh to try and draw up a piece plan for you. crane something that they say would have to be palatable to washington. they knows though,

that they need to go false because what happens with the trump administration is that things are very unpredictable. so they know there is a urgent need to discuss that they'll be talking about that, whether you need to state policy. that plan is the possibility of sending a peacekeeping force to safe called any future ukraine a ceasefire. deal. some countries say that willing to contribute to such a full personal problems among some of the countries like poland say they on know. so that will have to be discussions about that to move. most security experts will agree that you're simply at this stage doesn't even have really the capacity to be able to have such a force that wouldn't do and not just a few months. food probably have to stay on the ground. and in the ad for several decades, and that is why we know that the french and the purchase of very much hoping that any deal they can propose would be acceptable to washington. the washington would perhaps provide security guarantees and a box. so natasha button

a in brussels. thank you. will of course be checking in with you throughout the day as that specials time. it gets on the way there in belgium's capital. well, ukraine has relied heavily on weapons from the us and it's war against russia. but with the trump administration, suspending old military aid this week, it could have potentially disastrous consequences out there as defense, that is for alex could populous explains which weapons have been vital for ukraine's defenses. the cranes fight against russia has only been possible withheld from the west. it's because doing it by far as being the united states, us has given nearly $65000000000.00 in military aid since washington invaded in 2022, pulling a huge range of weapons into ukraine. a civil systems have been crucial in helping ukraine fight the russian military to nearly a standstill. the united states has sent over 20155 millimeter how it says with move of 3000000. now tillery rounds and ukraine is use the patrick defense system to protect its capital,

and all the sites is the only weapon they have. we can shoot down russian hypoth. sonya missiles, long range precision strike artillery like high miles, an attack ins that'd be vital in destroying russian. come on, post munition fuel drums far beyond the front line just not just the tanks, drones radars, boats, air defense systems and infantry fighting vehicles. us electronic imagery, intelligence sharing has also allowed ukrainian military to detect targets. i'm planned for the destruction. last but not least, you know, most stalling system makes it possible for the cranium. low range on drones to be guided to the targets. keeping the combined is, are formed in real time space, not bringing correspondent in keep child stratford chinese, not just military aid being suspended. the us also freezing intelligence sharing temporarily with ukraine. how is that being received? it was a statement given by the current in president automated zalinski last night and he

was on page i think is an indication of the amount of pressure he's on the frankly, from the americans. he said that the in his was being positive movements and he said that out teams, ukrainians, and the americans have started working on a meeting. and we hope for the 1st results of these discussions of potentially a meeting next week. now that statement came off to us national security advisor, mike welsh. um gave an indication of just how much pressure the americans are putting on zalinski well said that there was a need to nail down these negotiations. he said, puts in confidence, building measures on the table. then the us president will take a hard look at lifting these mist poles on munitions. and we understand oppose on the suspension of the, of intelligence gathering as well in terms of the kind of impact that it's having

on ukraine. it's very difficult to tell. i've certainly, we've spoken is called is on the front line. they are saying that they hadn't received any kind of help from the americans over the last day or so. it was the same scenario this morning when we spoke soon. but we subsequently spoken to an expert who says the real concern with respect to this blocking of the suspension of the intelligence is the protection of ukraine's cities because it is vital that us intelligence is used to, for example, located sites deep inside russia, where they're all ballistic missiles that are being launched into this country pretty much on a nightly basis. apparently, things like these come to me. so for example, we know that one was used to be, this is making a policy that we want was use the low of attack and creevy rate. they have a very large signature just called a heat signature. and it's, it's vital that to us intelligence is used to try and locate the sites right. i'd hate them before they launch. right. and what more can you tell is johnny about going forward? so as you can imagine, there is quite a concern indeed. and,

and so why to concern and, and you've got to, won't russian attacks happening as this is going on? what, what can you tell us about the slightest one in uh, do you need pro petrov scanned that hotel and it soft too much. yeah. law cho tell in creevy, read to me didn't appropriate drops region. at least full of people killed at least search engine, including a child. president zalinski said that a team of volunteers, ukrainians, brits, and americans that actually checked into the hotel shortly before the attack. they managed to survive and get out of the building off to the attack. there was also an attack consuming knowles of keys. one person killed the, according to local authorities. that was a driving attack. there was another driving attack and car keys, the east and the city. you claims the 2nd largest, 2 people injured, the and then another attack in southern ukraine on the, in a test on what we understand is an energy infrastructure. so managing

infrastructure there at least 2 people injured in, in those attacks. ukrainian military saying that last night they shut down 68 of a 112 drove and strikes. and they were to ballistic missiles to is going to miss i was that we launched one of which we know according to locals, ortiz hit that hotel included res. thank you very much, charlie, for the update child stratford live for a say in cave of russia. meanwhile, has formerly appointed a new embosser to the us, says washington string friends. it's relations with moscow present. vitamin fulton name senior diplomat, alexander dot, shift to the pulse that's bringing newly a shop of our in moscow for is the timing here is significant to you and yeah, what more do we know about this new and baset are and what does his appointment signal that's right, so alexander chief represented the russian delegation during the tooks,

the recent tooks with the united states, which took place on february the 27th and a symbol. and the pose told the russian i'm boss of the united states has been vacant a since october 2024 because of the diplomats expand between the 2 countries. and back in october 2024 previous russian and boss of it to the united states. and the toner and toner actually completed his mission and completed his tenant, unless the us uh so alexander, the trip was 64 years old. he's the direct to the north american department of the russian foreign ministry. and therefore, my head to be russian diplomatic commission in canada. it was subbing as the russian and bosses, canada in 20142021. and in 2022. also the beginning of the ukraine conflicts adult tree of accused washington of having poor relations between the 2 countries to the point of no return. so, i mean,

all the new developments seemed like as things slowly returning to normal at the moment and many now believe it's a good sign for bodies. countries on its people as tens of thousands of people in both countries as well had to overcome mazda of inconveniences. due to the absence of diplomatic missions, if i want to correlations, if i want to commissions and both countries at no cost to let's know and sees that . and these inconveniences were connected with obtaining the visas. of the documents. russians right now have to travel to other countries to obtain a us visa in the us. citizens have to travel to washington. so from all the corners of the united states, so hopefully things will turn for the better for people for the order of people. first and foremost, thank you for that. usually a uni i shop of all of our lives there in moscow. the,

the white house has confirmed its holding direct talks with him. us is the 1st time the united states has acknowledged direct interaction with a girl. it designated a terrorist organization in 1997. washington says israel has been consulted and that presidential envoy out in boulder has or 40 to speak to anyone present. donald trump has issued what he calls a loss wanting to come off to release all the remaining captives in gaza. his comments came after he met with those who had previously been released from posted on social media, threatening to kill palestinians in gaza. if they continue to hold captives. all this is coming as is where i'm located. of guys i continue. it's been 5 days

since is red blocked old food, fuel and medicine from entering the gaza strip. let's bring in honey my motors in guys a city for his honey as a was already a shortage of goods and guys that even before the slate, this is really the ok. tell us about what these 5 days has meant for the people of casa, especially during the holy month of ramadan. the well, the past 5 days are today is moving into the 6 days a rate of the the what the me and is more suffering in the horizon. there is extreme shortages everywhere. basic supplies like, uh, like food then, and you have the flour and, and uh, cooking oil are either available right now at a higher price or available at the amount that is not enough for the greater demands it created by months of, of enforce the hydration united star vision only trickles a number of but agreed upon. so the past $342.00 days,

the 1st phase of the ceasefire, garza was suppose a quote unquote be flooded with a human entry and 8. but we, we just checked the bigger of the number of, of trucks that you know, allowed into guys i just found out it's been everything top of what have been agreed upon. and just in the face of the greater tragedies and demands of created by months of the station and bombardments. these are not enough. they're out there . they're barely enough just to make up for the lack of, of basic supplies in the past months. if we where you go now, there is an extreme shortage in the markets inside. many of the shops in, in gauze and the, and the northern part of the ship. the majority of people here rely 100 percent and for parcels. now on a coming in to feed them and the majority of people right now are for this particular month the month of ramadan to break their fast. busy wherever, wherever they are able to find there is nothing specific that the goals in the market to find just whatever available to try to break their fast on. and this is

because the, the ongoing, the blockade and restrictions on the term of a static project is really military and is really government made it clear that the, our whole things, the delivery of the or the entry of much needed the supplies that includes the fuels medical supplies and other critical necessities and aids meant for the people in gauze are not coming in just to look around here. the trucks that used to be moving around the hours in the past weeks are parked all in different areas. having moved in the past 5 days to pick any of the 8th, a truck and, and, and if it's not clear, when are they going to get back on track and bringing much needed a, this has already caused that the market at that is depleting again. they have, it's a question of availability, as well as a question of affordability for a lot of people. indeed, thank you very much, honey for bringing us and they say from guys a city,

let's discuss this some more. now with that mr. i'm job show on who is the director of the palestinian and jill's network. he's joining us from guys a cd. thank you so much for your time. as we heard from my correspondent, the very difficult conditions for the people of kaiser, you know, with, with this brocade and we've heard that at least 80 community kitchens will soon run out of stock. can you tell us about the current conditions in the remaining community kitchens and how long they can sustain operations under these restrictions? i think you know, the number of stimulate the kitchen floor. most of the really, there is no fucking gas for reason to care for these. so many kitchens and waterman bump the shortage. all the fuel for the disadvantage in advance of the floor. walk to the boss and then the send button, the wells, which wasn't good for the quality and the same time the quantity will vote and that

we were to reduce the draft to the re uh the different patio regardless here in a few days they will so many designers of glass would have stopped working, which means that we kind of tough on what the thinking was in the palace. and the same time the hospital, there is the shortage of minnesota pickups up lots of fuel. since we were the 1st with the, the ice, you probably, uh send you the rooms out of the big companies best on this the phone. did you not a does, which i also need few. so few in from day one is that i access as we have not so much storage because these will be built in fuel. was also this will be a big issue for the right. another issue which is very critical, which is be a ship the items and go to manage guns. why?

because of the disease, by the time only $125000.00. when done that, we need for 250000 back please. so there's a difference in this dentist which means a lot of suffering for people who lost their halls. right there. housing units and due to the structure. yeah, so look up on, on the part seen kind of the guys all the time, the agreement. do you go to debbie and the whole of the agreement mentioned there will be $60000.00 cut off. so not enough shelter has entered even during the period when aid was getting in and they were ready shortages of goods and medicine, as you say, that has now been made worse with, with this current is really brocade. and we're also hearing that price is extremely high right now. can you tell us about some of the central goods that have become more expensive?

oh, hard is for people to find it and how are people coping with the shortages or yeah, the so many odd food items. so this up did because of the shortage of these items as uh, made the chicken and the same exact beast uh bought the items for what it's going to do to the law. and this is free to call. so all of his balls set out as possible as national and joe's on uh, dennis ols community kitchens, which should reduce tens of thousands of meals daily through the found is all or $100.00 to this effect. without capacity to disabuse meals will be a while, it seemed it was a and it ends with us, which is supposed to be with the meals. so this same time that there is the digital which is 0 and the market now. and it's uh because it has low entry point 5 days and we have. ready storage and low enough range to well the to have these

registered ones and foods. when i picked him, i want to do food and the foot securities itself and buy them. i do the store with a full items that we have is the list. so in a few days, also that most model items, which i mean when i go directly to the primitive position of this, uh, all the actors that to pick this 172 inches. yeah. and uh, let me ask all the basics. yeah. let me ask you, mr. m. drive, you know, given these conditions, how a palestinian families adapting to survive. the bigger questions really because uh, yeah, the, the found is how do we get this and why is it going business? not the 1st time that we face feminine uh, during the day of the month. oh uh, more in gaza and families. i kind of say the manage the cool was very difficult to

goldman sachs conditions. but they managed to do something regarding the sole unlimited amount of home and the administrative amount of items which have fixed on your last so many. it shows that it was on the 1000000 impression and we wish that we will not reach this point. yes is very complicated to manage on such conditions. many of these days. yes, we have these 5 love the the positions are getting worse and worse. thank you so much for talking to us about this. thank you for your time mr. i'm josh. show our director of the palestinian and jose network now as israel is located of gaza continues, as you've heard that the us, as we've been reporting, has been holding directs talks with her moss. let's bring in your day who's in

amman from on this, nor is in amman because it's really government in the palestinian authority have found out just here from reporting from israel. knew of quite significant that these direct talks has been going on between the americans and how mosque did israel have prior knowledge of these thoughts or where they informed after the fact pushing their reaction they were in fact informed after the fact slowly this at least according to reports naming, informed sources that remain unnamed and as well as these really governments being very careful not to issue any statement that might seem to be confrontational, or that might upset donald trump. but instead trying through briefings and background conversations with is really media to downplay what happens saying that

it was focused on the release of is really captives will also hold american nationality focusing on instead on the meeting. but donald trump held with freed captives and the families of those will still remain in, in captivity in gaza. and in the meantime, trying not to a build on that on that conversation, on reports that the trump administration, it had in fact have those conversations to discuss. not just the release of capt is what, perhaps other details and focusing on the fact that israel views transplant us completely expelling the population out of gaza to be really the only path forward . the only way to get to that piece that trump as seems to be a so i'm focused on getting on the flip side fully, the palestinian media was focused more on the trump of threats against how most of the population in gaza focusing really on the fact that there was an entire

national campaign to retrieve the bodies that as well with holes of palestinians. it has killed this says there are more than 2000 palestinians who were killed by israel across the occupied palestinian tire. 3 since the 1960s that remain held by israel, they include the bodies of 18 children, palestinian, focusing on that. and the fact that perhaps donald trump is not aware of all the facts, even though he's taking such dramatic positions. whether it's to hold conversations with him, us, or to threaten us with an eye, elation. no, thank you very much for that, nor or they live the from a mine in jordan. well, let's discuss this further now the implications of the us holding direct talks with him off with those channels soccer. i was an associate professor of golf politics, had contact university and intel of eve mer on rob afford, editor and writer at the local calls,

news magazine. thank you both for being with us, the china. let me start with you. um, what are the significance of the trump administration holding direct talks with from us? donald trump? it seems approaching things differently. what does this reveal 1st, about washington's current priorities? well, the difference that we don't know exactly what it was by you with it, but we know that from piece using his particular our way of the go button or holding the country that this disregard against previous traditions at the bottom. i think the, this, on the us, i mean, after 50 years of legal in the have mass us at the right. so we're going to central, he decided to engage directly with them even and disorienting, the east throttle itself. this is something that these really was not the expected . so both it was the one of the been informed. so he's showing that he has had the direct approach of personal approach that the one inside is on warehouse is threatening to eliminate or to move all the policy and outside. got somebody on the other, how he's decided to seats with the people that he's accused him of the of the they

may need to hear. i mean like this and he did with, with the, with the pressing on north korea before talk. it's trying to reach out directly in order to get something that this more important done because it gets hot, all right, mer on your thoughts. i mean with withdrawn history of strong pro israel policies. how do you interpret his administration? sudden, diplomatic outreach to him, us and how is this being viewed then as well as i turn into is that is really as was said before, tries the inside is trying to down, down uh, downgrade. this is the importance of these talks, but i think the important it's not the driver that the us administration is having talk so directly with the from us. we have to remember is have is dialog dialog getting would come us for many years, but never directly, always to,

to negotiate as intermediates to them and never directly and, and then di, which talks on the interesting good development is very, thank you. so is viewing the quite with concern of course, at the same time used to it is very happy with that, with the declaration by trump yesterday at the office off or leave me and they can come us a etc. but i think they're also worried. right where age, but at the same time, reassured when, when they hear trump threatening him off. how do you explain this contradiction of luciano of the, on the one hand, he's reaching out and having direct talks with a mouse and on the other hand, is threatening them with that if they don't release all the captains or what this, this part of this. so that for this, not this for pricing, i mean, he has been using this site since the 2020 is the 1st time we know that the web he has to be doing with, with zalinski also in. okay. and so they, the way he said,

pushing negotiation is too dark for the end of this week. but if you don't seem to negotiate with me, you wouldn't face the consequences. so you have to evade me how to, to comply with what i am requesting in order to start the conversation. but i think the other thing more important here is that the to, to stop this 1st direct connection between the us and how may i ask who i'm to, and that's the future government of, of ga sites. something of this on the, on the discussion on most of the i, those at once i must to continue empowers. so how tom is just the find different about the conflicting darkly. how must, if the, the one to discuss with time us in the future, right? before, do you think these discussions can be brought in into a water piece that hopefully this will, we would be stepped forward. so i'm hopeful that this change, this won't change or a big change and, and, and in terms of can drive to watch it. more concise is the mirror on um how might

these discussions impact is arouse approach a moving forward on guys and also releasing the capt is given that the us now directly.
