relation welcome to the show. political leaders from all over the world are converging on germany to take part in the munich security conference, which gets underway today. you as vice president j. d vance is among those attending and is meeting with nato leader mark richard high on their agenda as president donald trump's plan to end the war in ukraine. trump says he has spoken to rush as lot of me and route and then agree to start piece talks. the move has alarm leaders in europe and ukraine, with many were the us and russia and to settle the conflict without input from keith. bands is also set to meet with you brains will let them. here is the lensky to discuss the so called peace plan. munich, all eyes are now on the europe's role, and the ongoing prizes. a new grain with tension is rising. some key figures are already shaping expectations for what lies ahead. here's what the man who stepped to become germany's next chancellor had to say yesterday, a jump yesterday he buys. i've gotten some early indications of what vice president

j. d vans will say. it will be a confrontational speech and i very much hope that the chancellor is prepared also in coordination with his partners in the european union to give a european not a german, but a european answer on that. i know it will be a very, very important day and will remember this security conference in 2025 for a very long time. it will have consequences. it's mostly, i mean, you know, once you've got 5, all here is what our chief political editor and unit can we say like you've made of masses words. well, we are expecting a speed. some daddy vans that will not just map out towards the united states is planning on ukraine, but potentially also criticized the political spectrum here in germany and europe. we already saw in on mosque who doesn't really have an official outside

role for the united states, essentially in to see here in germany as the cool on german voters to vote for the fall. right. a if the policy in elections that are happening and just over a week's time here in germany. and if the message from debbie vance is what, according to the indications we're getting from an interview he already gave to the wall street journal, he will be calling on an end to the political so called firewalls of woods the fall rights. and that, that's the parties of the center ruling out that they would cooperate with them here in germany and europe. and that would be quite something a to makes. that's a speech. some pull on politicians to act differently. that is interference. and at the same time, the question is, how will the europeans respond and will they be united on this? we do question. absolutely, samantha, supposing here another big actor on the table is china as from move to withdraw from global commitments. china is waiting in the wings implant and further bowls

through their influence in the multi lateral institutions of the world. uh, let's take a quick look now at james traders report about how the international community deals with that. the us leaders say europe needs to do more for its own security because washington has bigger fish to fry. the us is prioritizing deterring more with china in the pacific, recognizing the reality of scarcity, and making the resourcing tradeoffs to ensure deterrence does not fail. your zip code, the cold shoulder almost immediately upon donald trump's return to the white house . he's resting terrace on the you and criticize the blogs defense spending. kind of list of on the ties between washington in europe or a 2 way street. and they have good relations with europe. a key to the us is protocols, a nation, the, when they are signs, all we can think of us can engage with support and come in to you. opinions, security concerns is no longer term,

may not be the best idea for america in terms of staying power. imagine china key amongst those names is preventing a chinese invasion of tie, want, and disruptions. the key trade routes that surround its horses and once the united front submits containment policy against china. so the u. that doesn't necessarily mean military involvement in the region, but it doesn't mean cooperation on economic conditions, like export controls on advanced technology emissions. how much am i putting in a little down since? could you repeat the difficult binds? the constant into skeptical us managing it is heavily criticized china for what they say is. it's test that supports impressions invasion of ukraine, as well as flooding european markets with cheap chinese input. the analysts say, washington, this transaction with approach to europe, could leave them no choices, but to draw a closer cause of aging. europeans feel squeezed and they don't want to cut

off the ties with china because they're fearful of having given the us too much leverage in this type of a complex geo political field that they're playing in. the munich, china will be represented by one e. the country's top diplomats, he has long side to cause paging as a responsible stakeholder in well defense changes have been accelerating this century. can i have those challenges come one off or not? the international corporation and coordination between great powers have become more urgent and importance. excuse me, great pleasure. and while washington tests the limits of its alliances, you may be more willing to mention it's a badging take on managing a move all the time was okay that cause that is still with us and how do people at the security conference there in munich and more broadly in europe plan to deal

with china's changing role in washington's dealing with facing whether it's not that easy, yukon does talk about china until about taiwan until about confrontation. china is needed to solve one of the key issues in the well, that includes climate change, but also as control. and there was seeing fresh noises coming out of washington. and neither the european know the us economy can do without sign at this moment in time. so the big question is whether this confrontational style, by the trump administration, we're seeing so far, will help or hinder as bed tons is becoming less dependent on china. that is the overall aim. and another thing is, and i was part of conversations here yesterday evening where there's a question that is really openly being asked to will the us withdrawal from europe signal into asia that the us is a desirable ally in the future or will other asian countries also feel that they're

more on their own, because the united states is not proving as reliable as a europeans hope for in this conflict over ukraine with russia. so these are all still open questions to base to, as we're seeing, as you political, new mops, being thrown out really. the w 2 political editor may say, in that case now from the unix security conference, thanks so much us president donald trump says he's preparing broad tariffs on all trading partners of the united states. trump has told is economic seemed to devise plans for reciprocal levies on every country taxing us in 4th. the order would also hit non tariff barriers like safety regulations and sales duties such as the value added taxes which increase the cost of product truth, president trump speaking after you order the new round of terrace in on trade. i have decided for purposes affair, it is that i will charge a reciprocal tear,

meaning whatever countries judge the united states of america, we will charge them no more, no less. so in other words, they charge us a tax or tear and we charge them the exact same tax, or to have. so as donald trump speaking, the militant group, how mazda is expected to name 3 hostages today, that it will release this weekend as part of the ceasefire deal with israel, which has caused the conflict in gaza. it follows days of uncertainty which israel threatened to scrap the deal after a mazda accused the government of benjamin netanyahu failing to live up to its commitments. meanwhile, people in gaza are struggling to survive a body of refuge account in northern garza or what's left of it. one's home to thousands of palestinians. 15 months of is that devastating, more have destroyed homes, neighborhoods, nice memories, displaced and exhausted. residents return home with this little to help them cope

with a devastation. hello. how ya? of the life is unbearable. we go to sleep and to use and we wake up in t is no one to. no one is even offered us a profit team to or the top pool and for shelter. when it rained, we drowned in the water for gossen has been in the woods. my husband is okay, but i'm just like we are here and we feel very worried and i have nothing has changed. they said there would be improvement, but we're back to where we started at the beginning of the war. i was just no food, no water in the corner. everyone survives on can food. and even that as cars, well the bottom after the war, this seems like a new war. as you can see, there are no houses, no water. we bag, anyone up the spring us water. a water truck only comes once every 3 days. my point is that the a lot of dish on like the united nations estimates the clearing the proper and

rebuilding cost that we take years and tens of billions of dollars. and that depends on whether the ceasefire hostage release agreement even reaches the next phase. this also you as president, donald trump trying to reset regardless as 2300000 people to jordan egypt or of the append the u. n. 's human rights t says would amount to force of the transfer of the international a slight hold on the spelling of the job. we only hope that life returns to normal . yeah, the clinic is open again, the okay. and we want food and water to be available again, or just restaurants to even eat assemble for an awful lot. but no, there's no income, no work, cause you can see we have the living dead and we don't even feel it. a lot of it. what is the, what we have enjoyed? no one should either experience. for a year and 4 months,

the will crushed us. we felt just approaching every day and thought we would die. and the uncertainty about the franchise seized by agreement is looming over the people of garza. and the future over which they have lived in se shores. moreover, the silva is head of you and ops, the united nations agency dedicated to implementing humanitarian and development project. he visited gaza yesterday, and i asked him about his experience as well. thank you for him. in the i visit the guys as part of the function that overall so they went on there and, and see it in the west bank. and what i've seen him guys and the secretary by going to guys a during this worth time. that was that for station must've destruction off for the for such. and i also saw improvements on monday getting paid, which means that we really need to do everything we can to preserve the ceasefire. the ceasefire. the succeeded in getting more money than 8 points that's on fuel,

which is distributed by you and up. we went from when the southern lead, there's per day to 1300000 liters per day. the same, the progress can be shared in other areas off many, $38.00. but we need to go beyond these basic elements of it for the what the, the fuel. we need to enable the basic infrastructure to operate. and as you can see from your food, i've seen your, your footage now. and from what i saw, that we are surrounded by revel between $40.00 to $50000000.00 off the baby and revel the revel, unfortunately includes the unexploded ordnance, the, this must be removed. it's critical, but you also need to go through the other elements of it for such a 70 percent of only for structure in gaza, easily slide 7060 percent off. all houses are destroyed. 65 percent of all roads

are destroyed. the cost that will be required to respond to the destruction of your 1st section and housing according to the world by can be you. is it on the order of $13000000000.00? and it's fundamental that, that we commit to provide so many that in a, in the short term. but we also create the conditions for early recovery. i'm not talking about the reconstruction reconstruction. it is great to go. i'm even talking about the early recall for me that was shores fluoride, the silver head of you and not. before we go, here's a quick reminder of our top story. and then the war and ukraine is one of the topics that dominate the munich security conference which gets underway today. the gathering comes out for europe and keep, criticize the us for making too many concessions to rush before the start of any pace talk. and that's all from the news at this hour of,

of stay with us coming up. we have a documentary called saving our soil farming with a future. i'll have more news headlines for you in about 45 minutes time. if you get the, we would never compromise upon the rights of i take the opportunity to upgrade your patient rights and he could offer to you to afford in 2024. ask on women stop down with a ton of a unique insight into the struggle. the sharp edge of peace thoughts much set on dw the earth beneath us is how.
