the, there's a lot on the table and again, the us is much more exposed to imports from europe than they are to our internet sports. so we have some web originally discussion. yeah, independent economist and international trade analysts. robert scott, thank you very much. there multiple threads here to pull out, but i think we'll get another chance to continue this conversation. thank you. thank you for having the still ahead on alpha 0 at least 15 people are killed in near the syrian city of look, talk here in an attack by a side regime loyalists on security for the early spring world. so spread quite rapidly across the country. is that any reason they were sing, temperatures, substitute, or a many a, for example bulgaria,

and about a week ago. but we're not reading the teams after the things are the same everywhere, but the bulk of european nations, the sing temperatures in the teams, even 20 for example, in bucharest, this will just spreading starting off with that are all different states. and we'll come to this in the 2nd time, not very, a bridge child across in scandinavia where we ended right, increasing the coming back in. but it's not cold here. it's still at least my of the time here that the world sort necessarily stay copenhagen drops down to near its average over the next 3 days over the side of the average. be about 7 so nice, comfortable days. but this is right. it's different as i was staying in ports go at recently, be subject to more flooding. there is more heavy, rain is running through and the orange talk suggests grades heaviest on the south today. that'd be some snow for the parent. these and the worst it goes up into something from so it can stay for the higher ground, right otherwise. but you still left with cloudy skies and showers, running through i will say nothing much has happened initially. if you go back to

the intake, the full cost to, to easier particularly libya, you've got rain, hey, which tiles of right into the does it. so the sort of writing time and graphic maybe on saturday, 10 back to as well. the infectious disease experts say the next 10 demik is coming to, i mean we're definitely not perfect. and i think that's very clear. an organism we know about or a deadly new book called disease x. either way, there's cause for concern the flats in the curve, investigate analysis the around the

limits to have a dream container, stuff in your own adventure now counter and we the the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching else has 0 reminder of our headlines this our us president donald trump, has been finding another round of executive orders. the white house is seeking solutions on both ukraine and gaza. canada and mexico have been given the one month

for free on terrorists that came into effect earlier this week. you as president, donald trump now says the goods from the 2 countries that fall into the united states, mexico, canada trade agreements, will be tempered with the exempted from european union. leaders have agreed to boost defense spending to step up the confidence security they've been holding emergency talks and brussels to submit their support for ukraine as well. president, the mirror zaleski has welcomed that plan. he also confirmed that his country will hold talks with us officials next week in saudi arabia to discuss ending the war with russia or diplomatic edits of james basis standing by and brussels. james, so that meeting in brussels is now ended. what came out of it? and it's sort of in doing right now, some of the leaders already spoken to the press some i think costs still having discussions of they've been having a working dinner and i think some is still sitting around the table some of already

deposit. but there were 2 key issues that were being discussed here, 2 related issues. and the post, i think, prompted by a change in policy from the trump administration. what was the issue of european defense? europe has decided that age is not entirely sure about the american position, and so it wants to be on the very ambitious program about 800000000000 euros is what is proposed by the european commission. they say they're going to work towards that. the $27.00, europe, and leaders, and they're going to finalize more of the details of the next summit, which takes place in just 2 weeks time. so they did say no time for talk any more time for action, but on this occasion they are going to go for more tools to try and finalize this. but it is a very big project i had. the other issue, of course, is the will in ukraine. and what to do about that? as you say, we've got fox moving developments. we've got present savanski who was here in

brussels meeting, the latest we think, going in the coming days, beginning of next week to saudi arabia. he says he's going to saudi arabia and that we think he's going to meet with the americans. we've got a statement from european need is strong support from his presence and landscape, but that statement is already signed by 26 out of the 27 a you members all along. we've known the hungry has had a very different position from. it's a you, a nato allies hungry, did not sign up to this statement. what i think is worth noting is the hungry is very different position is all most now identical to the position of the trumpet administration and so hungry, no longer alone, although it remains alone. in the you with regard to its view on presence of lensky james, while you were covering the summit in brussels, we heard from steve woodcock and then we heard from donald trump himself. and he

addressed the key issues he address, because he addressed a circling back to what we're talking about. he addressed ukraine and saying both ukraine and russia in different ways and for different reasons that he didn't specify. they don't have a choice and they want piece how i mean this is a little bit of a guessing game at this stage. i recognize that. but how do you think the events in washington today are going to play into those brussels discussions? what i think they are relevant because i think your opinions are really confused by the way these, that the things have changed and the american position on the ukraine. the fact that the pressure is a being on presidency lensky. that meeting last week, almost a week ago in the oval office, obviously, further destabilized the training in the us position. but even before that, the pressure had been on the cranium side. and yet the russian side of really

a president, putin has had no pressure exists. he's holding him a toll, and i think most european leaders, they weren't say publicly, no one wants to further antagonize president trump, but they fear this is the wrong way around. the invader is not getting any pressure, but the country that was invaded seems to be the one that the trump administration is putting on the a great deal of pressure change based reporting from brussels. thank you very much . i of the so why leaders in brussels have been discussing military budgets. the war on the ground and ukraine is continuing as child straps and reports now from chief emergency services. struggle to lift the wounded out to the destroyed hotel and creepy re southern ukraine, ukraine's army says it was a russian is gone. the ballistic missile that did this. ukrainian, british, and american volunteers were staying at the hotel like old,

survived. this is not the 1st time russia has targeted hotels. this is the 2nd to be targeted increasingly alone. this is car cave in the northeast of the country. most civilians rescued off to a russian drugs slammed into the side of a residential building. there often over a 100 russian attacks like these every night across ukraine. a 112 on wednesday into thursday morning said ukrainian military motion to intercepted by you creating a defense. but off to the us, suspended mid a tree aid, an access to its intelligence. the roof is ukraine could struggle to defend its front lines, cities and vital infrastructure. washington, once the ukrainian president, to sign a mineral deal is compensation for its help in the war so far and is demanding. keith, come to the table to chokes on, eventually peace. your ukraine's lead up with all of them is zalinski, after initially refusing to sign the agreement without us security guarantees. a

since said he will sign the deal. and soon off to the us announced it has suspended intelligence sharing ukrainian leda. had this to say she buffets musk. everyone can see how quickly diplomatic events are on folding. today all teams, ukraine and united states have been working on a meeting. there is a positive movement we hope for the 1st results next week. the longer the us spends it's really create an access to its intelligence. the greater the pressure ukraine feels along the front lines and the great to the danger is to it. cities and civilian population, the us says that this is a temporary move attendant sector spider. you claim you and lead a serious about piece. but many will tell you here, but that piece feels like is being dictated to by donald trump. and on washington's terms. it's all stuff without a 0 q. yeah,

it's been 5 days since israel blocked all food fuel and medicine from entering gaza with supplies dwindling fast european countries of issued a joint urgent statement. the foreign ministers of germany, france and the u. k. have called on israel to abide by its international obligations. they say humanitarian age should never be contingent on a ceasefire or used as a political tool. houses here, a couple assume has more on these developments from hon. use as mazda is military spokes, person of the has the stated that the east valley threats would not succeed with a will, ends, as he called israel, to uphold its agreements. he also said that they have proof of life which is rarely captives which could be assigned that 10 mazda tribes suggest that to be 3 tens. paul getting power regarding any potential prison exchange deals that might take place in the future. when in fact, i mean you escalation will put the lives of the is very the captives at great risk

. say you also that they are ready to deal with old scenarios. but this does not mean that negotiations have come to an end. different diplomatic discussions have been made between homeless and israel, by regional mediators, alongside also direct conversations. we come us and the american administration to release more is really capt is not all of these developments come in the time. what is really from ministers is still pending. the entry of all sorts of humanitarian needs into the gaza strip success, exciting and with the crisis hospital civilians and all sorts of humanitarian aspects in gaza has been absolutely due to your rates that we have seen. prices was, are so ring and people are struggling to afford the basic humanitarian needs saying that every day for them right now is the best tool to survive. and they believe that as little as focusing forward is with costs are going to be shifted the

situation older. we get west tower companies and i will just kind of kind of start the remnants of war continue to threaten lives across gaza. unexploded ordnance pose a great risk. the civilians, especially children, honey, my mood reports on an initiative that's providing rehabilitation and hope to young survivors and goes to city. this is sites at this place palestinian in gauze. the young voice survived. israel is 15 months long war but could not scale what was left behind. a bulldozer was a cleaning of the area from the rubble so his family could set up a tent when a large explosion happened in the man again and for the owner of a sudden there was a huge explosion that destroyed the mendoza. we did not know what was going on and just woke up inside the hospital and i lost my left di and i'm worried about my di sides, brother and his ard was also injured. not gotten in, i'm and we were building the tents and as we were waiting for the boat, does it just finish removing the rubble. we heard

a loud explosion that damaged the boat. those i was hit. try to. yeah. my leg and my mom with injured and my face was brandish and thank god, i recovered sight. father is desperate for help and he's trying to take site outside garza for treatment. and then how would that need to be trying to in night to help him get his sites back and get his left eye clean from all of the smoke pieces of shrapnel across garza, children are living with this cars of war, not just emotional, but physical. many have lost lambs or suffered severe injuries or from unexploded ordnance left behind in their streets, homes and playground. that's the bumper that we aimed through this project to prevent the dangers of unexploded ordnance, particularly for displaced people returning to their homes. we focus our attention on children, the most vulnerable group, on how to act in case they see or come near these dangerous materials. for children like a 12 year old, i'm

a double star on the road to recovery. as long just months ago, he was injured by hidden explosives. why playing outside today? through intensive therapy and education, having his learning to adopt whatever the, how my friends and i were playing so could and then a c dot if you can. the quad got theirs, would fly in the area and had thrown what looks like a toy on the ground. it was small bump. we picked it up and threw it into the fire . it exploded and i was hit in my arm, upper side and stomach. i filled to the ground and could not stand and walk. i was taken to the hospital. i am still taking physical therapy and it still hurts. i was injured in february, the 2nd during the ceasefire. beyond rehabilitation, the organization also teaches as children and families about the dangers of unsupported ordinance, an effort to prevent future tragedy. while the war may leave us cars,

the children's hold and resilience shining through with the help of organization like best. they realize that healing is possible not only for the body, but for the heart and mind as well. anyway, most of the euro from the city palestine because few has been imposed in parts of western syria after attacks against security forces and civilians. at least 15 people are killed by fighters, loyal to hosted former president bashar assad attacks targets and security convoys and checkpoints in the joplin area. that's near let's talk in the coastal region on the mediterranean authority say it was a well planned attack and military reinforcements have been sent to the area. there's also been sporadic attacks on security teams inside the attack, just city or the salty houses. there is a sole source or a restore you'll join us from damascus. so look, this is, this is really interesting. this is happening in the talk, which was an aside stronghold aside is now gone. but the regime forces there were

attacked by loyalist. what else do you know, can you fill in the blanks of the story or indeed, so on thursday, required. so early in the morning when the security forces were heading to the town of that. yeah. to get someone who was wanted. so and where they were to come back to the oppression that came on the attack. there was an ambush by the remnants of the old regina, but that ambush followed by more ambitious in several locations. and as a result, more than 15 security personnel had been killed by the loyalist or the redeem. so soon after that you're seeing that some speed, it was the lease by the the, the officers of the world of the gym by some of the senior commandants such as nick said, uh huh. for the general of the old redeem the the deadline saying that they have formed, i mean, if it costs so definitely within the causal cause and court decided to liberate the costs of areas of city,

of from this new city in administration. so we understand that it was pretty put on and it was, it was organized. so now the government has an almost crushing in the city of talk to us, which is it costs the city. and so do a lot talk. yeah. and other costs will be and the homes, homes is the 3rd largest city in syria. so no, the collectors are still ongoing in these 3 locations. it is to the cities. but also on the other hand, the government is deploying more and more reinforcements from the, from hama and some other places um, in the city of damascus. the capital in houma, in homes name, data source and in the live that are huge gatherings of people in support. of the government, so now the officials are saying that things are gradually comes in coming under control. however, the crashes are still ongoing. and you can call for the be say that so far, this is perhaps the biggest security. the challenge is that the name of the student has faced says the full of bush atlas at 3 months ago. yeah, the biggest by far,

i think it's fair to say results. so the priority for the post assad government is you will have covered for the last 2 and a half. it was to bring all the weapons and all the fighters under their control, the control of a central government in damascus. and you're telling us that not only has this not happened, but now they're facing, what really looks like a rebellion trying to car about a slice of territory from within syria the so when this new government to control the city office before the z, as i said, on december 8th, the so that they have to be priorities. first, the international, the commission, the, it's much less the mistake. then the comedy in the state of the economy hands turned to rebuild aspects. so to reveal the states they need secured at the 1st and to achieve that goal, they called the old armed goods that heavy of fighting the,

the previous regime 12 the 14 years of the domestic war to come off to submit their weapons to live on the weapons and to join one single army to be in the united army . and mostly they have achieved that some of the exceptions. first, the curtis courses are still not the you don't, they weapons. some of the forces episodes of the company are not doing that, but the biggest question was, what was about the remnants of the old regime. the numbers is not the exact, and they do not know if it does not know how many off and how much of the weapons they have. so, but it's believe the majority of them are even in the course of areas of the country. and now this is them, as of the old regime coming out and fighting as a, as an organized as an organized attacks against the new government. as i said, this is a huge future security the trust. but the concern here in, in syria, is that it could potentially lead to some sic daddy and conflicts. that is the last thing that the new governments would like to see were so sort of reporting from the

syrian capital damascus. thank you. a so lunar lender has reached the surface of the moon but its operators are you have to confirm. a successful landing met privately owned athena. spacecraft is carrying an ice trail. the drone into rovers, its mission is to search for valuable minerals on sunday, another us company became the 1st to successfully put a commercial craft on the move. tanya harrison is a fellow of the outer space institute and you are joining us from onto a 1st floor what this stage, what do we know and not know about the the, the landing. and i don't know if it's a 100 percent successful yet. of this rover so just a few minutes ago actually the company intuitive machines made their announcement through a nasa press conference that they've confirmed with the. busy there is on the lunar surface, but it doesn't appear to be in the right orientation, so it may have tipped over like their 1st one. we don't, we don't know exactly, but there's something that has gone wrong in the way the process is getting power though, and they are able to communicate with it. so they're trying to take some images

with the cameras on board to figure out exactly what position the lender is at the moment that tell us more about the mission. we said it was carrying an ice, drill a drone and to rover. so i don't know if all of that is going to be able to be deployed, if, if it's not the right position, or if it didn't land the way it was supposed to land. what's this all for? so the bigger picture is that we're trying to explore the south pole the region of the moon because it has a bunch of these areas called permanently shadowed regions where sunlight never reaches them at any point in the year and so side to send detected, ice hiding in those regions, which is really good for asking us to use on human machines in the future. but we never done any close up inspection of them before. so the blue go slander from firefly aerospace that may have been successfully a few days ago. and then hopefully the payloads, i'm as intuitive machine vendor are both designed to kind of characterize what this ice is like. what the water content is of the soil or the regular width as we call it on the moon in these areas is like,

and also do some technology demonstrations as well. so to test how easy or not easy it is to draw, i mean there's a little hopper instruments on the intuitive machine slander that is going to hop on the 25 kilometers away from the lane, or if it's able to be deployed. and that would be the 1st time we've ever done something like that on the moon. so we, we do these little tech demonstrations before we invest a lot of money in sending like full missions and a lot of cases. so it'll be interesting to see how many of the payloads on the lender can be deployed for, you know, you know, are they going to fail because of the orientation that the lender is stuck in? we don't actually know yet. so there's a new space race of sorts, and this one is a private space race because it's private companies rushing to the moon to get their machines their 1st and see what they can find. first, what's at stake? their i think right now to feeling a lot of credibility with nasa. no food is going to be the front runner to get more

contracts in the future to send more emissions to them in the blue ghost was the 1st one to successfully lands entirely successfully in a few days ago. and so that, that was me. the hope that we were opening the door to more successful landing. so today, it seems like an unfortunate step backwards. but we're talking about 2 different companies in this case. um, but they're, you know, these companies are all buying to see who's going to be able to be successful and then hopefully getting more contracts from the government to send more machines in the future. tonya harris and philip, the outer space institute. thank you very much for joining us on the alpha 0. a news out thanks for holding. it's a baton now, which is mining bitcoin to make up the folding. torres and revenue. it is using the funds to pay for government spending. but how does the mining process actually work? well? miners collect and verify bitcoin transactions from the network by using powerful computers to solve complex puzzles. the minor who solves the puzzle,

gets to add the verified transaction to the block chain. that's a digital ledger if you will, and is rewarded with both newly created with coins and transaction fees. every transaction is recorded in a public ledger, which is encrypted, which means that no single entity controls bitcoin with tons, holdings are worth more than $1000000000.00 or nearly 30 percent of g. d. p. in 2023, the government sold $100000000.00 of bitcoin to fund a 50 percent pay rise for civil service, a, a in boot time. gold is everywhere, a body symbol of the everlasting nature of enlightenment. now the small himalayan kingdom is investing in the future. it hope it will be blessed with what buck has called digital gold bitcoin. it's also find the item and supposedly everlasting hundreds of people who have made billions of dollars on the back of bickley. why

on government string law? 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 science. a futon has built big coin mines that 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 with boot 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 oil 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 cannot run away from lucky and 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 coin offerings to buddha. the prime minister thinks the world he's heading and negatively towards using and exchanging bitcoin, just like any other currency. but smith, i'll just share a simple boot time the reps of this news our that we are back in a moment with more of the days is to stay with us on of the a jump in the city, devastated by the 2011 earthquake and it's often didn't show some survivors believe the 20000 souls lost the natural disaster heart ever present at some taxi drivers claim they haven't even given rights to the deceased, the retail of a traumatized community witness. so nami goes on that jersey to

send those out russia. it's a fairly challenging place to work from as a journalist, even though the say you can't do it, it's not allowed to, you're still pushing the always pushing of boundaries for be totally marston's. here we are, the ones traveling the extra mile where all the media doesn't go. we go there and we give them a chance to tell their story. too much on al jazeera from trade was to size make 50 us policy on garza and ukraine. president donald trump is shaking up global politics, rigorous debates on slim same questions upfront. cut through the headlines, the challenge. conventional wisdom on the 14th anniversary of the city and revolution. the phone of the outside regime associated in a new era as syrians rebuild their nation in a wheel and is ready to make it discovers a palestinian film archive cease from the piano in 1982. that raises important

questions about palestinian identity. while the buffalo ranges on the front line, the diplomatic pursuit for peace is in crisis. however, critical moments ahead. in fact, the ukraine war and the world order much on owls is era. the us push on gaza and ukraine. donald trump tells him us to hand over all remaining captives and says a meeting to discuss a piece framework for ukraine will be held next week, and sony or the pennsylvania. it's good to have you with us. this is anxious to hear a live from the also coming up for a few in parts of western syria as
