the, the an emergency summit in brussels to cement support for you, free and bolstered defenses with fear in europe can no longer rely on the us. the you're watching out to 0, like from headquarters in delphi, and getting you navigate to also coming up on the ground in ukraine. a russian strike on a hotel is killed for people in injured stuff in the us

confirms that how to rec, talks with from us. but president trump also threatens. there will be hell to pay if it doesn't release all captives. think also us i am. i'm a good reason i do this northwest, particularly statewide remote communities are on the age of to renew to types by friend the hello european union. leaders are holding emergency talks and brussels. the focus is on increasing military budgets to meet the blocks growing security needs. all $27.00 new leaders are at the meetings, and they're looking to cement european support for ukraine. it comes as the trump administration, tibbetts from it to europe and allies and recess ties with russia. meanwhile, and you in ukraine, a russian strike on

a hotel image and the pro petroff squeezen has killed these 4 people. dozens of others, including a child were wounded. in that 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 settlement in the dining region. let's speak to natasha butler, who's joining us now from brussel. so we were looking at the life picture that you meeting just about to get underway, where presumably leaders are in crisis modes. what can we expect? and that's why we see the number of leaders arriving. in fact, the ukranian prison flooding is lensky is just arrived, accompanied by the council chief antonia acosta and the editing you commission as live on the land. they stood for a few minutes on the red carpet as they will come to this summit to have

a conversation. that is, of course, a crunch summit. many in europe, a searing for the future, the confidence of security for its very survival. the french person to his do his in a short while he was addressing the french nation on television, on wednesday night, talking about the new reality that we are in the new era. and how the u. s. is basically changed cost us turning his back, seemingly on tv own is european allies, and michael saying how your really needs to ensure that he can defend himself. what we've heard the kremlin, respond to that, talking about him. i know michael speech has been disconnected from reality, but those here feel that they are very much missing in a new reality. in fact, we have some, some of the heads of baltic states saying we are on the front line with russia. and what we need is to be able to defend ourselves if us steps away. so that's what you need is going to be talking about how to bolster the defense spending on investment

. there was a plan from the european commission on the table to try and boost spending by some $800000000000.00 or more over the next few years. you're very conscious that they need to be able to fill any void left by the us. if us decides to no longer ensure the confidence a defense security needs. okay, thank you. and have to answer for that recording from brussels. a while ukraine has relied heavily on weapons from the united states and its war against russia, but with the trumpet ministration. suspending old military aid this week, it could have potentially disastrous consequences or defense that are alex the top of this explains which weapons have been vital for keep cranes fight against russia has only been possible with hope from the west is because don't to by far as being the united states, us as given the $65000000000.00 in military aid since washington invaded in 2022,

4 and 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 artillery rounds. and ukraine is use the patrick defense system to protect its capital and other sites. it's the only weapon they have because shoot down russian hypoth sonya missiles long range precision strike alternatively like high miles and 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 and imagery, intelligence sharing, as 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 ukraine in low range on drones to be

guided to the targets. keeping that combined is, are formed in real time troll stratford, joining us not from the ukraine in capital. so with the us, temporarily freezing intelligence sharing with ukraine. and how is that news being received where you are with our grave concerns in ukraine, the officer these ladies move by the us as you say, this temporary suspension of what's been described as a temporary suspension. all of us sharing it's intelligence gathering. i think an indication of that is the statement that was made by the president gold amazing lensky. last night he said that in his words, that had been a positive movement in terms of an agreement for a meeting between ukrainian officials and us officials. of course that's. ready washington wants it wants to sit either zalinski or top officials down with us counter tops to initiate support. trump sees as a potential piece process, all the styles of it. so let's keep set that up teams in ukraine and the us of

started working on a meeting. and he said that we hope for the 1st results to be next week that came off the back cover of a sound part that was given by the us national security advisor mike waltz, who was saying that to be full. and this thing is really discussed with respect to lifting this suspension, but they need to see the us needs to nail down these negotiations, put some confidence building on the table. and then the us president will take a hard look at lifting the suspension in terms of the people that we've spoken to, experts with respect to the kind of impact that they could have. this could have. busy serious concerns about protecting ukraine's cities because ukraine is highly relied on us intelligence, for example, in trying to locate ballistic missile sites inside russia and try to hit the sites before those me solves, are low and shore, at least in the very initial stages. also the launch and it's

a very difficult thing to do. indeed, the patriot missile system, the us patriot missile system, is the only system that he's able to take down these. certainly the hypersonic ballistic missiles and they all rely and as i say on us intelligence full that so their. busy grave concerns the going forward, this could cause even more dest across you. great. okay, thank you so much for that reporting from keith charles stratford. on the months since president donald trump's election, global financial markets have gone through major shift european assets, especially in military and defense. i've seen significant gains. germany is dax, and excess serves more than 20 percent in 6 months. far outpacing the s and p 's 5 hundreds, motus 6 percent gain. meanwhile, the stocks year of $600.00 has risen 8 percent. so defense and infrastructure stocks are driving that riley, german arms manufacturer. ryan metal has soared

a 130 percent, while siemens energy jump to 115 percent fuels my expectations of increased government spending. in contrast, us economic data suggests a slow down with new tariffs leading to trade tensions and down putting markets sentiments as a 0 up in china ramp up. spending bureau has reached its highest level of gates and taller bolstered by germany's fiscal initiatives, will not speak to she roberts, who is a global markets investment specialist and the head of analytics at kwan to inside . joining us from legend, thanks for your time. so the markets in europe seem to like, what's going on, i mean, some of the indices i've caught up or even out stripped wall street over the past 6 months. what are the reasons behind this? i just think it's the summer. he just sat around the corner very nicely, i think come the big optimism surrounding us economy, us marcus,

off the president from one of them. but a 6 cause was a little late from the that was for us centric. um, there's a phrase us exceptions, and that's been around for a long time, which is that i need to states have these magnificent 7 technology companies being videos the apples of the world. and that's close engine, you know, really out perform the rest of the world for a long, long time. and the belief was that different policies would continue that, but actually was so what's happened is you've seen a transition and make america great. again, appears to be moving into make your credit again. i don't think we can all of the sites just how big a shift we've seen in the last couple of weeks in terms of the european policy response to this new security situation. the, the change in europe and fiscal policy is absolutely massive. i'm really on depends on the new use that you've described,

so not to plug defense stocks here at all. but to what extent are they in fact, leading the way and why? how is willing to defend stokes? i'm going to godaddy obviously gather all the headlines for obvious reasons and they know that some of the moves are massive. um, as you mentioned, and obviously in the last couple of weeks in particular, cincinnati j. he's on some unix page since 4 times 5 in the office last week that that's given. uh, so i'm really established for your to say, okay, we may be on. all right, now we, we need to, we, um, i'm be able to protect our own back yard. so anyway, it was happening even before the last 2 weeks before the unix feet from the vice president. this has been a 2025. some of them are near the backs was riley and you, as you said, it was the last 6 months, came out the blocks in the early january, very strongly. you sitting european financials, which had been recovered from the great financial crisis back in 2008,

2009 until this year. right. and now you are paying financials and wants to take those levels out. and then as you say, you are able to defend stokes yesterday you have the biggest move in the german bond marketing for the 5 years. and you kind of a dominate, dominate on this cascading event where it's ripping out broader and broder and i think that just represents the idea that this is for us and for most about defense and security. but that will be multiply or fax. and this could actually, oh, this is a horrible story in a broader context, but from a pure economic investment perspective, bullies and billions of extra spending, wilbur plow and should be gross positive for europe at the broader level. so i wanted to ask you, in fact, what your outlook is that over the short term, long term for these european markets, an art fundamentals in europe, a strong enough to keep the riley going. so you're going from the dentist have always been by say that's why uh,

here it was on the phone so long in terms of equity markets is why do you are as being pretty unlocked his account see never, wasn't that long ago where the consensus was the era dollar, for example, would get parity model, may i suggest it should be north of $110.00, for example. um, so it has been quite a big sea change. and some of the issues around europe that exist the policy making, you know, how are they going to turn 800000000000 into an official procurement process distribution process who, which companies get to know how old are your pin um, different countries for late in terms of the defense there's lots of questions still on it on so generally semester positive. remember this has been passed, a huge counsellor is passing this on an old call and i've got the cd support. we hope he's got the green support rather than not normally seems to be a crime defense company. so we're going to see these are, these policies actually

a get implemented and then they actually kind of become real in terms of based on the ground. so there are still lots of issues out there about our students at the moment, then their child momentum is so strong and that kind of cascade effect by talked about from docs to banks to defend stokes, to bottom markets. next, we think for the currency markets suggested that i just missed over this in the near term. it would then become a medium term questions. thank you so much. you, roberts, global markets investment specialist joining us from london. thank you. a thank you . the the white house has confirmed it's holding direct talks with him us. it's the 1st time the united states has acknowledged direct interaction with the group. it designated a terrorist organization in 1997. washington says israel has been consulted on the

presidential envoy, adam bowler has authority to speak to anyone. president donald trump has issued what he called a last warning to him as to release all the remaining captives and gauze off. his comments came after he met with those who had previously been released and he posted on social media threatening to kill palestinians in gaza. if they continue to hold captives. not all day has more on this from i'm on just a reminder. notice there because the is really government on the policy and author already have banned algebra 0 from reporting from inside israel and they occupied westbank. it 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 it 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 these 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 plans 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 meetings, but also on the fact that trump's outrage about withholding bodies doesn't seem to apply to the hundreds of tell us again, bodies that is real, continues to hold some since the 19 sixty's,

but many who died in his really captivity because of mystery. 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. still a heads on al jazeera, the remnants of war continue to threaten lives in glass on the she looked at the image and she was like, the 20th, like a terrorist. looks like what does it look like? in a world of increasing prejudice? 5 women stand up to discrimination. i know why people hate us and i'm like, no, no, this isn't us challenging stereotypes. seeing that head scarf as a source of strength, face and identity. so we say we will need to get involved in because we are

involved in the community. we just don't see it. my job, my choice coming soon on al jazeera it's one of the biggest clubs in south america . but it's great. this arrival is just a few blocks away. a mutual dislike between funds from across device sustained over generations. most people could you and your support, his opponents of these club colors. in ethics, few the rich business put the funds who make football. when i was just the right kind of is governing body is choosing a new lead up full kind of, it's a vine to replace, drops into the as prime minister, but it's happening just as the nation's faces. an unprecedented challenge prevents neighbors and places to alex. so what a very proposing to do about how those leadership election on al jazeera, the,

[000:00:00;00] the, the top stories on al jazeera european union, leaders are holding emergency talks in brussels to discuss the military budgets to meet the block. scrolling security needs all 27, your leaders are at the meeting looking to submit support for ukraine on the ground in final 40 say a russian strike on a hotel. and there's in the pro petrow of screeching has killed a piece for people such as others, including a child. in the late night time, the white house has confirmed the trumps administration, has held to record folks with time us. it says there in the interests of the us, president trump also issued what he called a last warning to him,
