[000:00:00;00] the, this is the w news live from the lynn angry european farm as bring fire and fury to downtown brussels funding tires and tractors, blocks the streets around the european union's headquarters where agriculture ministers are looking for ways to ease the tensions. also coming up on the program, the governments in the occupied westbank designs, palestinian, or far as these prime minister announces that his entire government is quit. and the scene is a step towards reform and a post world,

middle east peace of the i'm and you can just make it and welcome to the program, parts of central brussels that are at a standstill. it was alice farmers from across the european union, upstage the blocks me things. agriculture ministers demonstrates as have blocks of access to official buildings. dump tie is in the streets and set the lights. they are obsessive of brussels environmental policies, rising costs, and what they call unfair competition. you officials a pet teen to ease some of those pressures on the agricultural success for their office. the doing so could we can action on climate change as an update from our brussels correspondent rosie, but child who's covering those protests that for us if you get

a sense of the fury and frustration on the streets and brussels here to day, wilson says no further behind me, a smouldering burning pile of tires, and actually just in the last few minutes, you've seen farmers protesting adding more fuel to that fire including bales of hay . and that comes just after police really have managed to extinguish another major fire using walter kind of as you can see, there is still a major police presence here in the heart of brussels. european union course are not only police, but of course also tractors. basically as far as the i can see here, they have paralyzed 6th street here in brussels, which leads up to the european commission. the easy executive is the 2nd time they've done this, this month. and farmers here are telling me they have no plan to, even though they will keep coming back until they see that their demands are met and will solve those demands. exactly. that good question, because we've seen these protests across the continent, not just here in brussels,

that for the part to go to poland and their demands are kind of disparate summer, really and always about the price of fuel. some are very concerned about competition. for example, agricultural imports from ukraine, one thing what she likes the most is a concern about rising costs, isaac unpredictability, of the pricing of their products, and to try and get an idea of what that looks like. day to day i went to visit a farm here in belgium. take listen to my reports. 2 hours after she was born. it's time for this baby cough to try and stand on her own 2 feet. that struggle to stay afloat is one the small dairy farm in southern belgium knows well with milk prices proving unpredictable, and the costs remaining high frequented to the it's difficult to get the return on your investment and have a long time perspective. all the sudden peaks in 2022 then shocks in 2023 have really strangled some problems on the success instead of farmer,

or really looking at cuz phone subsidies to help her keep production churning. in fact, agriculture funds make up almost a 3rd of the repeating budget, but many are still feeling squeezed. what have these, we would like to be able to live without subsidies and just have reasonable prices . but that's not possible right now. for weeks, no farmers have been taking that frustration to the streets, grinding traffic to a halt in berlin, brussels and other capitals across the continent. in response to your opinion has moved to ease some green farming rules. curb green imports from ukraine and show new laws to further restrict pesticides use farmers of feeling the impact of the russian war to inflation. the rising costs of energy, the rising cost of fertilizers. nevertheless, they work hard every day to produce the quality food we eat. and for this,

i think we owe them appreciations and things and respect. the problem is agriculture codes for more than 10 percent, you emissions, and many campaigners for your watering. don't claimant laws will set you up on the wrong track with elections blooming. but we see that in many countries that's found right spots, he's actually instrument that are using the voice of the farmers. and it is saga t as on finance initialization. but again, targeting environment, that is a station he's going to a be the main flights to farming eventually. so if we're, if we're not able to make a farming less imaging result, we announced guys, we're not going to make it. after a tough winter, farmers are hoping for easier times. i don't know if you can already had a bad thing. i know to show thoughts to make this industry economically and environmentally sustainable. it looks like some heavy lifting. still what lies

ahead as well. those kind of peaceful seems all not farm. no, seem really a 1000000 miles away from this very wintry day here in brussels. driving rate has certainly not kept. the farmers from the streets, as i mentioned, is not reports. you farmers are entitled to subsidies. but what we've heard complaints about is how we, those subsidies are allocated, particularly for example, from small farms. and i should say that complaints about competition. some are the want to see the end of all basically free trade deals. they say that is driving down in price the european union, but the farmers have also been on the flip side, the source of allegedly unfair competition in other parts of the world. for example, they're subsidized milk driving during prices and parts of africa in the past. so really, this is something which goes both ways, but certainly seems, but despite attempts for me, officials to clear the air so far that certainly housing dissipated to the, the st here on the streets of brussels. so we know that the u. agriculture

ministers are total king in brussels right now. is there a chance that the fondest amone's will be met? well, i should say, i've covered all sorts of protests over the years in brussels. i rarely seen such a quick policy response. we have seen a youth specials coming forward with proposals, ways to try caught red tape. and we know the officials will meet with farmers today here in brussels. what i've heard from them is they feel that these attempts have not gone far enough. haven't necessarily gotten in the right direction, so we'll see how far these 2 sites meet. but one thing you officials are concerned about is that it's a few months to your elections. and they certainly are worried that these farmers christmas perhaps take their votes to the far right of the political spectrum if they feel their demands are not met. and then the other sites concerns from climate campaigners, but you officials attempts to try and respond to these very these concerns that are very clearly on display here. that that might go too far in terms of compromising on the big claimant's promises. or as

a thank you so much so that as far as the but child reporting from brussels of the . okay, we're going to take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world and an ally of the deceased russian all positions, politics, politician, alexei, nevada only says that he was close to being freed at the time of his death. already a pub chick made the comment and a video posted on youtube. she also repeated her obligation. the president brought them in person is responsible for the valid needs. this is randy miller trace as it has hits targets, deepen slide 11 on the northeastern city of bob black, the strikes mccain just hours of to hezbollah fights has drowned and is riley drove . his beloved soul says safety is rarely strikes killed at least 2 members of the group of the palestinian prime minister mohammed dia has announced the resignation of his government, which governs counts of the is randy occupied, west palestinian associate president. nothing would above still needs to accept the resignation,

the rates in the west bank in east jerusalem. and the expansion of settlements, so this is the move where the posting and i start with this think that it's important to move forward and to change the government. and is there a reason that this is happening right now? well, it's not clear yet, but um we can, we can, we can say the um, there are 2 bar to use the, the u. s. pressure to reform the ballasting and i said with the it could be, this is one of the moves and we are, you know, um and on sales day would be talks in most co uh, between the scene and factions that especially between homeless in fact they're under the sponsorship of the russian government. and so that would be a move for a step toward the unity among the palestinians. hasn't been to share reporting from

that is built to it's balanced by international law. and the international court of justice is owed to it to be more capital, to, to consider the 2 monetary needs of civilians. so she was trying to, so a very balanced view and, and need us to say really that the very different use this is now internationally a minority view. and the criticism of israel is mounting. and so is the criticism. most of the german position here all set in the human rights council mccain. i think you were going to have to leave it that we thought some technical issues, but that's the w mckayla cuz not reporting from geneva. thank you. and here's a quick reminder for you of our top stores today. and gray farmers in brussels have some tires and sent them a light blocking access to the buildings. the blocks agricultural ministers all inside discussing house implicate protests as demands over the u. environmental
