kind of them survived to replace drops into the as prime minister, but it's happening just as the nation's faces and unprecedented challenge prevents neva out of places to alex. so what a very proposing to do about how those leadership election on al jazeera, the us push on ukraine. donald trump says a meeting to discuss the piece framework will be held in next week in the sound. you right? yeah, the, i'm luis of hoping this is i'll just say we're life from 2 halls are coming up. the violence escalates west and syria. at least 15 people are killed and fighting between

security forces and assets. loyalist. we meet the palestinians in gauze, the injured by on exploded farms on the program in place to help survivors and terrorist delays. president trump gives the one month for pre if to mexico and canada. the united states has wage and on conflicts and both garza and ukraine. washington confirmed us and you cravy and officials will mation solved your radio next week to discuss a piece framework for ukraine. the us also confirmed its health direct tools with how math was lynn georgia and reports from washington. a diplomacy is usually the job of the us state department, but in the trumpet ministration. the president is in charge of gambling with world war 3. after the now infamous route between president donald trump and ukrainian

president of the mirrors, the landscape trump says efforts to ending the war between ukraine and russia are back on track. in part because of a note of apology, zelinski sent in recent days. i take what's going to happen is ukraine wants to make a deal because i don't think they have a choice. trump also confirmed something. once i'm thinkable, the us is holding direct talks with a most a designated foreign terrorist organization. i consider that somebody where we're helping israel for the most part we had a couple of us. and just as you know, we got a couple of hostages at american house, which is quite certainly petera, you know, i do. you have to negotiate because there's a difference between negotiating and paying. special envoy stephen woodcock, told reporters outside the oval office engaging with homos is necessary. well i think it's real, it's real. feels as we do is real. feels that they want to save lives. they go by

and hopefully that's possible through dialogue. and that's the point we're prepared to have dialogue. but if the dialogue doesn't work, then the alternative is not such a good alternative for how much stark choices presented as the only options on the table. for this thing from the nuances of traditional diplomacy, russell and jordan elders, era, washington calling clark is director of versa. shut the seats on center, global intelligence and security consultant. see, he says trump is clearly pushing for diplomacy in ukraine, but that he's doing so at the expense of the crate in the pace of uh, current events really is almost taking place, minute by minute, hour by hour. um, you know, i, i kind of go to sleep thinking, you know, one thing is happening and then i wake up in the morning and its almost a 180 degree reversal. so it's hard to say lot of people chopped us up to trumps.

negotiating style, the tactics that he usually takes a maximum list position and then kind of edges back toward the end and whatever concessions are extracted. he says, look, that's because of my, you know, uh, agile negotiating skill. i will say, you know, you have to give credit to trump for falling through what he does. uh, you know, freddy. and so we saw that with the withdrawal and they now kind of well holding back intelligency brain, which for someone that so concerned about saving lives, you know, that kind of cuts in the opposite direction. there's going to be many more ukrainians that die as the result of the intelligence not being shared. it's really just kind of trial by far, every day is something different. and it's probably one of the most incoherent approaches i've seen to foreign policy in a long time. doesn't mean that it won't be successful. it's just not the traditional style that we're used to with the policy process with vetting, with listening to kind of that outside experts. it's a lot more of it what, what i call an ad hoc proceed. slide by the cd, your set up parents,

trump kind of deciding one thing and then moving forward. full speed ahead. as your opinion, leaders held emergency talks in brussels on thursday to discuss increasing, met a troop judges to meet the use growing security needs. these is also discussed support for ukraine. the summit comes as the trump administration pivots from its european allies and resets ties with russia. james spaces in brussels and some this report cannot be greasing for most the leaders of load them is the landscape. this is being one of the ukrainian presidents worst week since the russian invasion with the us separating old military assistance. and it spiteful battlefield intelligence . here though, he's among his strongest supporters and his friends. for the most part great that we are not alone. we feel it anyway knowing. thank you so much for ever seeing here . are aware of how dramatically geo politics is changing. europe spaces

a clear and present danger. and definitely europe has to be able to protect itself to defend itself, which is lead is arrives some stopping briefly to speak to reporters. no one explain why the world has changed. the fee is go well beyond ukraine is the us will the bands and its traditional role defending europe. yeah, there's another thing they were afraid of. for the antagonizing donald trump, that's why no one even mentioned his name and around the summit table leaders agreed to work on the proposal by the european commission to reorder up with a price tag of about 800 and $50000000000.00 us dollars. for me, the most important thing marries to be very frank, to re i'm year i don't think we have a lot of time. uh, so re, i'm a year sprint. sprint, sprint on ukraine and the final conclusions that was strong support for presidency

landscape from all the you. nations, apart from one hungry, it's long had a different view from it's european and nato allies. of course hungry is no longer alone. its position is very similar to that of the us under the trump administration, j as bai's, which is 0, brussels. the in syria, at least 15 people have been killed by fight, is loyal to al stage, former preston basha. all assad financing is ongoing in la takia jones, this and homes. and because you that's been imposed impulse of weston syria, that were taxed on security, convoys and checkpoints,

and the jump in that area. and then the talk, you authorities say it was a well planned attack and ministry reinforcements have been sent to the area quite as loyal to the deposed regime, say they've captured in the for the pro government protest is, have gathered, has a police station in the joplin area, the mounting weapons to flight the loyalist of the previous regime. russell fall to has moved from damascus. hotels in the morning, the security forces were heading to the town of february. the i'll screw us off the track here to get someone who was wanted. and while they were conducting the operation, they came on the fire. it was an ambush by the remnants of the old regime. and then it followed by several more ambushes. so the am because that's when to rescue the, the injured security for the members. they also came on the attack,

the civilians will try to rescue them. also were attacked by the remnants of the old regime. and soon after that, that has been a video released by one of the commander of the old redeem. and seeing that these operations are happening based on the decision that they have made to leave it a quote unquote, the coastal areas off seeing the from the need government, they according these minutes of the call. so how did by the deadline, as the cost of c of the documents? so no, we understand that these issues do attacks or the security forces what? 3 plan and they were organized. no, the security forces are deploy, you reinforcements, tremendous the who would you be enforcement from the city of homes, from the, from a n for them. it leads to the region node steel. there are collapse just on go in the laptop here in talk to an uniforms. the officials here are seeing that they haven't lost a cookie in the city of patters homes and my talk. yeah,

i'm on the on friday. that's going to remain in place and they're saying that gradually the things are coming on the photo. however, as well, we can see that this is perhaps the biggest. it could have the challenge that dakota and administration in city has please so far seems to for the short list that 3 months ago. this is heather, how does he go to damascus? it's probably hillary is a distinguished public policy fellow at the american university of favorites. he joins us live from boston. now from a hello to you. what all the alice sighed loyalists ultimately trying to achieve then it's not a 100 percent clear, but this is a very typical situation where you have a autocratic or a dictatorship government that has run a country for decades in serious case 5 decades 50 years. and once they're over the

throne, there are large numbers of they're loyalist, so you heard that was a down percent. and iraqi had it with people old enough to remember chesko and romania, the lawyer list of the former shame, who totally in charge had total power over everything. certainly find themselves isolated a and with no power. some of them start organizing in small groups. some of them and just local rebellions and the saw them try to get together and create a bigger movement them to try to carve out on a time was region. so it could be any of the goals that this think would be feasible. but i don't think it's realistic for them to be able to carve out there on the tunnel this region like the cards, for instance, i've done northern iraq. but this is just a problem. was a long term dictatorship. entrenched or top prosy, lots of guns,

and people who are loyal to the an old system that made them wealthy and powerful enough, sees them as marginalized and often poor bearing that in mind. how much support do you think there is rami specifically for ally sides right? now, and so i don't think very much, it's really the inner core of the regime. and i used to go to syria off in the 19 eighties and nineties and, but i lived in jordan and loving them. and you'll see the, the system has worked with a, you know, lots and lots of people who have great benefits from the regime, free medical care jobs for anybody. they want to hire those. they really milk the system and got, well say i'm, i'm so secure and had a good life on that. so, oh, gone. so the inner core of the old regime is probably still thinking of trying to

either create chaos which might allow them to get into the system of governance again, or carve out a little area for themselves. it's interesting that the to the elements of the shame that have been targeted by the present government are the a, the x commander with the special forces and also the air force intelligence. these 2 units under the old regime were brutal and. busy we're very close to the a such family and some of them commanded by a certain members allowed to be ruthless for the torture chambers. prisons and then they made huge amounts of elicit money. so it's interesting, the remnants of those 2 units are still trying to carve out a role for themselves among the works and the, the left, the key area in most western syria. but there's also

a little bit of classes in the home some level. so it's not only the northwestern area, coastal area, but little bit pockets here and there on the serious dilemma it's, it's a country that has a 4 or 5 major denominations or ethnic groups, a watch purge screws of the suddenly majority of so this is a result also of. busy the colonial period, the french set this up in a way to get power to the minorities. and then you have the dictatorship. i'm the 3rd element is foreign intervention, which you see today as to what the thing is rarely is now going into syria and creating the turks are involved in various ways. the russians want to try to find the role again for themselves. the ronnie is, are out for the moment, but are trying to get by jim. so the combination of these legacy is, is devastating. this is the, this is the result on this uh,

something the only be resolved either by a fully inclusive system of governance, which hasn't happened yet, or by the central government being strong enough to physically be it up to chill or jail, or detour of the roads okay rami, i really appreciate your insight. thank you very much for joining us. all right, cool. the still ahead on, i'll just say rough. we look at how taiwan is boosting its civil defense capabilities. this tensions continue to rise with china. and the 2nd space crossed in the week, which is the moon and the latest funeral range, the, the real code areas have a long way. no, it's not so that we,

we will get some stuff in her condo and hold. sure. nothing like as much briefly the cold air come across. ok, but i do have to get to bring flights this night with it. this time it's warming up in china, and hong kong 16 becomes more like 18 or 20 as much qual to picture window as a free. rational nice is rain, disappointed me. maybe in taiwan, the heavy rain in the form of daily thunder storms is concentrating in borneo is drifting towards otherwise the living jar and little bit dry, but surprisingly, producing shelves. i might even reach bangkok. it's not a particularly wet month, columbus logically in bank talk. so this is the price to see about how to get this out today. this, the drift is to the east side born here becomes that bit dry, but the concept now out of there was your potential for flesh study returns. we've got shows in the poll author of rain or snow depending on the height of see never been the same as true to the northeast as well. but for most of india condition packaged uninsured lanka, it's fine, it's warm, is fairly spring, want to be honest. temperatures in the for example,

my roster off on the way up the well above average at the moment, boom by 38 compassed assessed to as an average throughout pakistan is equally woman fine. and the quantity everywhere has improved. the, the, the,

[000:00:00;00] the, you're watching alger 0 reminder of all told stories. the sour washington has confirmed the us and you creating the officials from beach next week to discuss peace frameworks. to trump says that ukraine has no choice, but to sign a deal and to say russia, your opinion leaders have agreed to boost defense funding to step on the continental security. they've been holding emergency tooks and brussels to submit the supports for your trade in syria police 15 people were killed by flights as loyal to ally home of preston prussia out of size. because few has been imposed impulse of west and syria where attacks against security forces on civilians. the ongoing rate,

the, the remnants of will continue to threaten lives. the cost cost, despite the current face via unexploded weapons pose a grave worth to civilians, especially children. you must manage reports on the program that's providing hope to young survivors and goals and city a this is site, a displace palestinian in gauze the young voice survive. israel is 15 months long war but could not scale what was left behind. below there was a cleaning of the area from the rubble, so his family could set up at 10 when a large explosion happened in the man again for the owner of a sudden there was a huge explosion that destroyed the mendoza. we did not know what was going on. i

just woke up inside the hospital and i lost my left eye and i'm worried about my di sites, brother and his ard was also injured. no gotten in, i'm and we were building the tents and those who are waiting for the boat. those are just finished. removing the rubble, we heard a loud explosion that damaged the boat. those i was hit. try to hear my leg and my mom was injured. and my face was brandishing, thank god, i recovered sight. father is desperate for help and he's trying to take sight 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 the small 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 playgrounds 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 hitting an explosive. why playing outside today through intensive therapy and education, having his learning to adopt whatever the, how my friends and i were paying so could and then to see doctor, if you can the quad cup there's would fly in the area and had thrown what looks like a boy, on the ground, it was small bump. we picked it up and threw it into the fire. it exploded and it 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 the 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 trying to through with the help of organization like best. the realize that healing is possible not only for the body, but for the heart than mind as well. anyway, most of the euro from god and city, palestine, mexico and canada has been given a one month for free on terrorists that came into full sally of this week. you as president a little trump now says good so full onto the united states, mexico. canada agreements will be temporarily exempt. says john, home and reports from mesa, coast se a month blown reprise to mexico after thursday morning. cool. between president's

cloudy, ashamed. um and donald trump, he suspended the 25 percent tires, replaced to mexican impulse, or at least though he's covered by the us mexico, canada free trade. do. and i spoke to the president of mexico, a wonderful woman today. and we helped him out with the problem they were having having to do with the task short term terms. and we had a very good conversation. so you choose, president st, them sit on the cool sheet highlighted countries, efforts to stop, send to know, getting to the us and said, with terrorist, those efforts could suffer to the lady that i said to him builders. we are getting results. president trump, now that you're imposing tears, how are we going to continue cooperating or collaborating of to something that hurts the people of mexico? both infused off to the court about their mutual respect on the we most on the excellent elizabeth. those are your mother, donald trump, one to come to a different story,

at least in the morning when there was no update on the 25 percent power source are leveled on the countries goods turn. so i can confirm that we will continue to be in a trade war that was launched by the united states for the foreseeable future proclamation . but by the afternoon, the us will say suspended terraced, the canadian goods included in the us, m. c, a agreement. but in not, this doesn't mean that the 25 percent tires are completely off. some canadian, a mix can goods full outside the us, m. c, a trade agreement as debate about exactly how many. there's also separate parcel. i'm still in a medium that it's huge. come in for much the 12 and finally on april 2nd, we could be here once again when president trump for super cool terrace. but you to take effect. let's go at least thinks it will be sped them because it has few times to go to us goods for america to respond to john,

home and out to the mexico city. a tropical side tire and off australia is east cars, just bringing trunk. so rain and high winds to the city of gold coast full 1000000 people along a full 100 kilometer stretch of coast line are expected to see the west of triple coastline. clay and alfred initial full costs at the storm was due to make land for lights on thursday, but officials set the so moving storm was now more likely to make land full lights on the friday, or the substance a to taiwan is bolstering its civil defense capabilities. to protect against the possible threats from china, the islands is aiming to train 400000 volunteers to protect it in the event when the tag. but experts warn the efforts a serious challenges. patrick folk reports from taipei when a magnitude 7.4 us quake struck taiwan southern wiley and can see

a year ago volunteer is played a vital role and relief efforts, distributing aid and repairing damage. so i want the lines on its civil defense forced to respond to disasters, but it increasingly plans to meet on civilians and the events of conflict. i don't go the to date, chinese military at cross to intruding into space more frequently than ever. the even cutoff and the c internet cables, but see, it won't help us. china is always there, so we must face it. of course, we hope for peace, but we must also demonstrate our determination to defend ourselves on king fun began volunteering 5 years ago when prostrate tensions began. rising training was in formal but over time its become more organized on the form of present sign one, the civil defense force was recognized as part of ty, once resistance capabilities in military re alignment plan effect right from kill me. since then, it's role has been brought in to include all time preparedness to john i in

december, government and civil society groups came together for an exercise of simulating military escalation. so i want to see in a search and chinese military activity nearby and recent months, and the government says it must incorporate civil society in its response. but as already saved the december exercise highlights of the need for better coordination, the experts also say insufficient training and funding constraints means the civil defense force is prepared for potential complex. tony, see, it served in the army for 6 years now helps to train valencia is she says the island is blank, catch up the taiwan. she says that in time doing taiwan has been ended threat from china for a long time. and i'm actually quite surprised. the discussions on civil defendants have only recently gained more attention. i think that some of these ministry has around 170000 active service men and women. even with the addition of

a civil defense force. it's no match for china is 2000000 troops, but his vision continues to flex his muscles around the island and questions arise about how much support the us on the present. donald trump pull off a. so i one will need to build up its own defenses. as much as possible, patrick bulk elgin's era. so i pay both me and sub lead to better had built a co signed laws that strip the central governments, police and g. disarray of the powers within the send me a tool in the mess. republic us up scott, they'll dick says the move, restore is constitutional jurisdiction and the sub majority region. he was sentence last week to a year in prison and found from holding office for 6. his the lake was found guilty of finding a know of rejecting the authority of the you and the pointed. hi, representative. the way the sees peace onto the agreements, defended the boast in war and 1995. the vasic hand has reduced an odor. a message from pope francis,

the head of the roman catholic church has things fruitful from the bottom of this harsh for the press. the 88 year old has spent 3 weeks and the paypal suite williams gemini hospital with w rodeo. the vast can says pope fonts, this is stable with no new episodes, of course for treat crisis. or if i have it space crossed has reached the surface of the moon, but it's operates as yet to confirm a successful landing that's concerned. it may have fallen over and it saw use. the privately owned being a spacecraft is carrying an ice drill, a dryer entry roses. its mission is to search for valuable minerals on sunday and the us company became the 1st to successfully put a commercial croft on the moon. it's part of an expanding space race with practical purposes as colon baker explains what a difference a week makes on the moon. earth closest neighbor now has 2 new landers after 2

missions landed within just 4 days of one another. a 1st in lunar expiration. bill cycle in it, we're on the west coast are led by private sector american space companies. fireflies blue ghost has already begun its work. i'm thinking it's intuitive machine. second lender is on the moon, but it's controllers are still assessing exactly where one and whether the craft is standing upright. we think that the we've been very successful to this point. however, i do have to tell you that we don't believe we're in the correct attitude on the surface of the moon. yet again, when china successfully landed on the moon and 2013, no country had been there in nearly 40 years. they landed on the near and far sides launched rovers and sent samples back to earth. but the last few years have seen a rapid acceleration. india and japan,
