many groups. and i'm going to have you with us, nato secretary general maxwell to has a just a member states to step out the support for you, pride his cool comes off to you pray and once again asked for the full nation membership for our ministers from the alliance a holding a 2 day meeting to discuss continued support for keys and it's defense against moscow. president fleming manager lensky suggested he could agree to a ceasefire with russia if ne, so extends its protection to the products of the country controlled by ukraine. nato a sofa declined to offer you create a membership of a consensus, who with russian, with russia would escalate into a conflict involving the alliance hotels. the one that the next few months of war will be decisive. stupid aim is entering a nother cookchildrens and specialist regression shows no sign of

a bathing. just the opposite. booting is ramping up his rhetoric and reckless actions. he is using ukraine as a testing ground for expert mental mishaps and is deploying north between soldiers in this illegal work. bolton is not interested in peace. he's pressing on trying to take more tactic, because he thinks he can break through grange results and hours. but he's wrong, degree has right to defend itself, and we have a duty to help them. so we needs to continue our steps across support, a dw as brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena. tell me more about monks. what's his comments on possible membership for you frame? what am i include to have it say, here had a, was a pretty much in line with the official position also be alliance. he's tress to that ukraine is on its past towards becoming

a member. and he emphasized that this pos is you reversible, but he also made clear there will be no immediate decision. so there is nothing can you to see there is so to speak. he instead focus on what he thinks is very important right now. namely, to provide ukraine with everything they need with weapons, military equipment, with i'm a nation to strength and key it's position includes 10 shown language stations with who attended because of course, everyone to hear key and stats a some talks may take place at some point in the future, so this is before cruise off the nato secretary general to strengthen key of position 10. so talk. but there will be no decision about the membership for ukraine and invitation to membership. that is as not secure because the members

of the alliance are still not on the same page when it comes to that. some of them would be in favor of extending such an invitation to ukraine, others a warnings that as long as you queen is at war with russia, that such an invitation cannot be extended because they fear that that could attract the alliance into the conflict. and there's been a lot of talk about making nato trump proof hasn't. now what a native members doing to prepare for the next trump presidency, which will start in january, will they have adults such a couple of measures. for instance, a need to is about to set up a new command in v spot and in germany. and this is meant for nato to be able to take a more coordinating role when it comes to military aids to ukraine. and when it comes to the training of the ukrainian soldiers and district of g here seems to be

a strategy that is also adopted by the nato secretary general to convince president elect donald trump. not to disengage from nato to convince him that you are of secuity is crucial for the us. even as is about to shift is full. it's so close to the in the pacific and ma clue tests talked about this today during his press conference, he said to that, when we look at ad said the presence of north korean soldiers in russia, when we consider that iran is providing commercial with ms tiles and drones, and when we also consider that chinese companies are producing a tax loans for russia. and then of course the conclusion is that what is happening in europe could have consequences for other areas. so this is a kind of

a conflict in a lot with the global nature, and that is why and he's conclusion, it is of course important for the us to stay engaged in nato, and of course to continue their support for ukraine. alexandre, thank you so much for bringing us up today. so that's d w 's brussels bureau chief, alexandra from nama, and reporting that. alright, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. i'm protest of clashed with police police for 5th consecutive nights and the jordan capsule, tbilisi, west thousands have been rallying against the government suspension of tools on joining the european union demonstrates as are accusing the ruling georgia dream policy, steering the country closer to russia. more than 200 people were being arrested since the rallies began. for many is constitutional court has confirmed the results of the 1st round of presidential elections, the pro ration for rights candidates. colleen, joe, jessica, who surprisingly won the 1st round will be on the ballot for sunday's rental. along

the precious museum and london talks between the museum and greek officials to repeat, treat them next year, reportedly well advanced. the syrian insurgents have captured for new towns, bringing them closer to the central city of ha, that's according to our position. actually, this state troops have retaken some territory they last last week. when the rebels also kept to capture the city of alaska in the surprised defensive. because of this footage taken by the lab terrier alshaun brussels on the weekend shows them entering a palace and the last to believe to belong to syrian president for charlotte sides . and these pictures show a pro protest as toppling a statue of the president's lake, brought the rebels risk reg, nice thing, serious civil war. they had lost less loads. the government forces nearly definitely. so who all these anti government forces in syria and what do they

want? one, the key play a is the group, hyatt, tory or alshaun, or h t s. as it's known, it already controls much of northwest syria and is expanding its reach as the the use lisa alice now reports the syrian rebels celebrating after entering elect the country 2nd largest city. defensive to the world by surprise. even though some report suggest they had been planning the new push against the assad regime for a while. they weren't even though the insurgents all led by g, had his group hired to, to, hey, i assume known by the initials h t s. they are the most powerful rebels function in syria. a don't made up of some searching groups. at at least 60000 well trained fights is a vague goldman. it lead province an area of at least $3000000.00 people in the

northwest, which is parts of the around. so 2 percent of syrian territory not controlled by president bush, all assad. h t s was founded by islam is rebel abu mohammed all galani emerge from the group known as almost rep from the te, set up in 2011 in the early stages of serious war. back then under galandes leadership, they were a direct affiliates of all kind of reports and we broke ranks with the group in 2017 to become the new organization now known as h t. s. they've long been designated a terrorist organization by the u. n. on the us, they've also been accused of human rights abuses and areas they control, including executions, the persecution of religious minorities and women. although more recently, the claims have disavowed terrorism and are trying to present

a more motivate to face. my colleague gusio on us grew up in alaska and has reported extensively for us on the syrian crisis. garcia, thanks so much for coming into the studio. can you explain the significance of the rebels moves now towards hum. it has a major strategic significance for serious government and the armed rebels that are making their way there know this, that's why they're heading there. and the reason that they could capture aleppo within days was because there were a lot of withdrawals of regime fighters. so government forces from a level as they made their way through with a surprise offensive. and a lot of those troops are set to now being hama, trying to defend the city for the government. and uh,

the reason for this is that how much is not just a barrier for the government, which is in damascus from the opposition in the north all the way to ellipse. but it's also a major chord or that links damascus to the syrian coast. that's where russia has the port. that's where russia has a military air air base. so if they want to send reinforcements that cord or is extremely important. and it also links to the top here, which is the government's laurie list space. that's where a lot of other lights are, that's the sect of the syrian president. so if, if the fighting moves there, and the government has to defend those people, that route is especially important. okay. says massive strategic importance. yeah. what about the people, the 10s of thousands of syrians who on now essentially being forced to flee the violence if they can. what about them? who's taking care of them?

civilians face many challenges in fling this conflict 1st from the burial bonds that are following. because the government is bombing the areas that are being taken over by the rebels. then while they're flying, they face crossfire that there's been, unfortunately several cases of civilian casualties that were trying to evacuate and were shot there was, as they're in armenian doctor who died on the way there has been kurdish civilians that were confirmed to have been killed on the way so right now, the kurdish an area which is in the south east that sorry, the northeast of syria is set that they are setting up a camp of sorts to support up to a $120000.00. displaced people from that they're expecting from a level and that they say is only the 1st wave. so there's going to be a mass displacement for this. so essentially there's not enough support for the

people who are going to need help at the moment. there isn't, and there's a lot of calls from these areas to have just that from the international community . and can we talk about the idea that this new rebel alliance may actually have a chance of forming a functional government in syria? is there any chance that that could happen as a result of what's happening now? there are many questions on how a group that is fundamentally extra missed. and if some of these factions in this coalition that they have are designated tara groups. so there's many questions on how they can govern a country. how sector life can exist under such a government if they were to take over. and especially concerns for women and minorities. out on the political side, the turkish backed rebels are not going to get along with the kurdish side of this

conflict, which, you know, kurtz control, the east of syria gearbox by the us, the coalition. so they're now concerned that if the regime is ever out of the picture, these 2 groups are going to be fighting each other garcia. one is thank you so much for bringing this up today. why do humming does not get drunk? why do go to the tasteful waves, squeeze our bodies? how much do we need to put a stop hans? praying for help find beyond fis gets much on dw science. outtake talk channel harvesting our lives in a hurry. we have to get

a move on this goal. from us last night, gains to feed, so targeting produce growing by farmers again, tonio, mazda, it seems to be not the only frustrating the, the sacrifice for him. he came home with my family. my colleagues got out of it. after working all day in the fields, were having to guard them as well. and tony of feels powerless in this game of cat mouse, one where criminals rarely get caught in a battle over precious olive oil. which i think in the 60 years of all the farmers here will have given up the

antonio is putting all his faith in this harvest. the 1st 10 picked yield after 2 disastrous years more and more often these days he's considered giving it up altogether. which is what we're going to. yeah. there's too much for your recruiting and way too many administrative hurdles amenities, and there's no generation which the people don't want to know about this anymore, and i liked him to come in. know, get a, it's cool. never done. this. antonio's done cfo helps out with where he can this use hard, this is expected to be better than in the 2 previous years when crops were impacted by extreme drought. but give me one day, i'll tell you what that everything is green here now, but in the last drought, even the trees were dry. all good deal because i'm looking at a 2nd. i thought

a hollywood think that the farmers are grappling with a different problem. this year, all it's div, that's why they're harvesting the fruit as fast as they can in the we work until the afternoon, unload the harvest and jump in the shower that know then we have to come back out to the fields and patrol them until 12, o'clock in the morning and the younger on the back of droughts in poor harvest, our lives are more valuable than ever. even if the trees are hundreds of years old, the thieves don't care about all they sort of as well as i was in queue. lose of all this was the look at the branches. see how they are broken down a lot of video and it'll be that the steeds have numerous other thoughts.

they've just hit them with this. that final link feel size. so i feel like the it's a huge financial loss for upcoming years to damage trees. won't produce much fruit and neither the perpetrators nor their criminal network were caught. the equal voters, there must be farmers who died loops from the thieves and tunnel them into legal circulation. he doesn't lie on king. there's no other explanation. it'll kind of, it's how you must have faced with a recent state of stuff like these. antonio is seriously thinking about giving up

on everything he's worked so hard to build up the he left madrid 15 years ago for a more peaceful life. returning to his home region of nevada, the to pay the attempted. i know for land. how amazing i thought i'd be life on this on our years, but with an illusion. your and a great sacrifice. what we're talking to people seeing a creature like this makes it all worthwhile. what else can i say? this is life. you might be the, the, the marine or lamb, sorry, antonio's pride and joy in a 2nd income stream,

along with the olives. he and his family also make sausage and cheese. the dream of an idyllic life has long since been shattered. the in the wake of 2 consecutive drought years 2022 and 20. 23 olive oil production plummeted by more than half the crowd failures in spain. the world's largest producer of olive oil cent price is skyrocketing across europe. the in spanish supermarket. the valuable bottles are now fitted with security tags,

or lock to shelves. the at the olive mill antonio also gets more money per kilo. within a year the price of olive oil has more than doubled in stain the but antonio has still made a loss because of the crop failures. and to make matters worse, now there are criminal games trying to get to the of the center since every year. the more this year because of the price rise, the stolen olives are shipped to other regions for pressing.

the farmers aren't the only victims in this type of crime. oil. no operators are also impacted. jose medina. i had 4 break ends in 2023. they were highly professional jobs. ok, you can see it here. then they smash the stones and open the door that way. the crowbar, you know, beforehand perpetrators cut the power supply to the alarm system. the cost of jose after 4 burglaries in quick succession. 80000 years.

how do i go back up if i stay sold? a total of 14 pallets from up there? not all the ones. well they must have used a forklift truck. so we're making a loss because of the brake ends in the email for the only because our insurers are refusing to pay out. we'll go by the other pseudo leave with the little spider because he's sick. they say our alarm system should have directly alerted the police. nothing. yeah. most of the police here. that's why they're not paying ascent. you think the and this it goes so nobody has been running his oil meals for 25 years. he employees the staff of 7, but doesn't know if he can keep them on his oil is derived from an ancient grove with good soil, as well as regular oil for restaurants. he also exports selected products as far as

japan and taiwan. but the business now has an uncertain future. so they also saw from here and took the 5 liter bottles. i mean, the other bottles tube ahead of everything but the vinegar implemented. i feel so powerless and angry. honestly, i'd like to kill these guys. and i thought of all the effort we put into the oil for the adult and it's gone now for a lot is worse. so they don't if his insurance company doesn't pay, then jose may go bankrupt. even though the perpetrators at the last break. and we're actually caught you the present day, i asked the police whether the thieves would go to jail and whether i get my money back. they said no. the judge won't impose the prison sentence for this kind of bent. and you won't get any of your money back,

it'll be taken on kind of getting on patrol with a special unit of stains, environmental police, a board or checking the think it today run, come over, has been with stains, nature protection service for 30 years. his unit is on the all of thieves trail and stepping up the number of raids partly because there's growing pressure on investigators to bring more of these cases to court the rules. so some of the mostly still look nice, but it's safer, sienna, we can move on, but actually we're now seeing more day time rates only larger. think us the about

from sun explains that it's impossible to be everywhere all the time. and frankly admits, even with the help of drones and motor bikes, it's difficult to catch the games. the there are simply too many of them. on top of that, the police can only detain offenders for a short time. then we come to a maximum 10 percent of the thieves. it's difficult and the success rate as minimal as meaningful on today's patrol. son and his colleague are looking for as legal bore holes. they're here to carry out an unannounced inspection on the property of a farmer who groves, olives, and oranges. couple. yeah,

they've loved the gate and we can't get through by car, so everything's fenced off. they're definitely trying to block our access from here, there is no option, but to continue on foot the see there might be gar, dogs running around fine and his colleagues from the waterboard can't be sure. then they find the 1st legal where they drilled one here. but the farmer has taken the machinery away but he can easily reactivate the bar hole when the next dry spell comes around. and my mommy, that's

a full so let's go look at the other 2 the things to tip offs from neighbors. they know where to find the illegal bore holes. when i go through the other spanish law, it's forbidden to have a well and such close proximity to the stream over there. when i had this old house and its pumping station or illegal, we have to prove that it's and use it as they move. they quickly realize it's extracting water or in the full

but this alone isn't enough to slap the farmer with a fine. they must also prove that the seal a fixed on the left inspection isn't damaged in any way. no. just time. we're in the idea. some of the look at the steel is still on. it hasn't been tampered with more money for those, but it seems that the inspectors are finding more and more bore holes also as a result of the drought. because some farmers will do anything to save their crops, even if it's against the law kind of difficult unless our farmers are using more water every year. which means ground water levels are thinking about expand.
