ukraine war, those next. okay, thanks very much for being with us on this spending briefings. see you next time. this is dw and who's coming to live from berlin as meaning security conference gets underway, honeys grows over, present trumps radical new foreign policy. all lines will be on the speech by vice president gd, vance, expected outline americas change priorities in the world, including a plan for q crane and trying to survive in gaza. people there say they're facing a new war as they struggle to find food and shelter in the devastated territory. the

hello, i'm terry morris, and thanks for joining us. political leaders from all over the world are converging on germany to take part in the annual munich security conference for seniors gathering is set to focus on the war in ukraine and america's changing foreign policy. leading the us delegation, vice president j. d events. he began today with a meeting with nate to head mark router and to call for the lines to raise defense spending and shoulder more of the burden for your security on europe. gathering comes days after us president donald trump alarmed europe and key by speaking to russia's president vladimir putin on the phone, about a settlement to end that ukraine conflict with out 1st consulting the europeans and you crap. more on that in a moment. but 1st, this report the battlefield in done yet can eastern ukraine. one of the regions, russia has tried to swallow,

and the ukrainians have fought for years to get back. last year ukrainian president followed him. is a lensky laid out a victory planned to world leaders that included nato membership and a return to the countries 2014 borders, the for russia, annex the crimea province. one day in the school. it will surely be sad that thrushes war against the grain has ended not frozen, not paused, not forgotten truly. and this will have not because someone got tired of the war, not because someone traded something with pushing for that was then this week, us defense secretary p tags have said that nato membership for ukraine is unrealistic, as is a return to ukraine's old borders in line with key demands from moscow. he's also said that europe in a non european forces, should provide security guarantees. but that there would be no us boots on the ground. the trump administration has also indicated that the sanctions relief for

russia is on the table. ukraine does hold one card territory, it's taken in russia's cost region since a surprised cross border operation. last august. now the russian side of the border is the sight of some of the fiercest fighting since the war began. ukraine holds over 600 square kilometers in cost. that's much less than the territory. russia holds in ukraine, about 20 percent of the countries land mass. but the cost incursion is an embarrassment to moscow. and it's brought in north korean troops, as well as reinforcements to try to get the ukrainians out before negotiation start . ukraine also has something for the us treasury secretary scott best and was in keith this week, seeking an economic deal that could include ukraine's rarer minerals. aside from ukraine's perspective, any eventful negotiations will be off to a bad start. with its comments on nato and borders, the west has already given way to key points before any talks get underway. the

front line has moved little in the past 2 years despite tens of thousands of casualties. giving up the territory, it's fox, so hard to retake would be a better outcome for ukraine. after so much sacrifice along with the ukraine conflict, the conference will also focus on defense budgets. as we mentioned, vice president j. the benz met earlier with nato secretary general mark rhodes and called on the alliance to step up spending and said nature will have to take on more responsibility for european security in the future. we'll talk about the framework conflict, the top rated associated settlement. it will show a lot about some of those areas of cooperation to you of in my little argument to, to, to these folks is look at your booth is a very important allies united states. and it was a very worth military lines for us that were at the most significant part of. but we want to be sure to nato is actually adults with teacher musics. the part of that

isn't sharing that neither does live near bird this year. your so the united states can focus on some of our challenges in eastern use and only a europe stepping up to what the parts of nature stepping up to an actual do right . it has to be though, we have to grow up in the sense and spend much more. we have also have to discuss the sensitivity over face for just a problem and you have with us in the international nature, we are centers all producing now. you're enough to pick up distribution center track numbers, and then of course, great how does being ranked very well, nice to base spot for the very latest from the security conference. let's cross over to munich, where our correspondents are standing by force. we've got dw washington bureau chief in his pole on the ground and dw cheap political editor because it could not be able to start with you. numerous european leaders of warrant against any peace talks between the us and russia. that one and one telephone conversation with vladimir putin sent the intention to have those talks very soon were still to learn

whether there is any token going on in formerly out of sight in the car doors here at the munich security conference. because that's really where the real political dealing is taking place and that is what makes the meeting security conference so different from many others that people here could meet without necessarily everybody learning about it. but the europeans, an ottoman to keep germantown sort of salts, came out again, saying that ukraine, that europe must have a seat at the table. but that is still an open question. and everybody here will be hanging on the list of vice president's 80 vons. when he speaks here in munich, and the initial time from now is a speech by us buys, present. judy vance is set to be one of the most carefully watched at that 3 day gathering. what can we expect this, of course, this will be one of the top x, if not the top x, if i might say. so,

i think from an international perspective, people will really focus on what he has to say about you cream. he gave an interview to the wall street journal and said that all the options are open. that is too early to talk about specific areas in ukraine. but of course, you know, terry, we are here in germany and only a little more than a week away from the german elections and at least the german politicians. and also the german audience definitely really watched very carefully. if j, the vans were interfere in the german election by supporting the far right party, a se. he also told the wall street journal that to you recommend to german polity leaders that they should be open to work together with the a, the, with the parties, degree partner that cd you and the expertise as for now, of course that said they won't. so this, this is a topic from a gentleman perspective and from an engine us putting it into

a national perspective. it definitely will be you create mikaela for like mouse, germany's conservative opposition leader and chancellor candidate has suggested that this security conference will be hugely consequential. do we know what he's talking about there? exactly. this is because this is not just about ukraine. ukraine is central to european security, but this is about the very concept of american engagement in europe. what kind of an ally it uses to be in the future? there's an awareness in we're getting back from the background thoughts as well. this is a, we'll see of what that means and concrete, tons and tons of us withdrawal from europe and what impact that could have on relations, particularly with russia. does nato still pose the credible threat to ross? so that's still, that's now an open question as well. so rather telling that students math is the one german leader who is going to the polls. the likely next onset because his

concept is cdc is who is in the lead state. yvonne's is meeting him, he's not meeting the soul. he says the democrats are currently pulling at this round about 15 percent. so actually it changed in the focus towards who may become the future. the deaf on the side of the van is just, donald trump says there might be a high level meeting in munich with senior russian officials. but the head of the municipality conferences, he's not aware of any russian delegations showing up there in munich. can you tell us what's going on there? are you as confused as we are? it's you know, not really a terry because this is exactly what donald from trump does and what his administration does. face fred, confusion, they want to be kind of always into the center of attention because today they say that tomorrow they say something else. what do we know is that donald trump is

willing to meet like me, approaching very soon, who said that after his phone call and some people expect tim pushing and trump to meet even during the munich security security conference themselves, maybe in saudi arabia also to kind of signal this conference here, taking place in germany and europe with it. you know, you are not so important anymore, as there used to be re a doing. what do we want to do outside of this conference? i con, confirm that there is a russian delegation or a here, or we don't know that you try to find that out. so french and some backgrounders, but as you said, it's k us. but this is what donald from loves and what you spread me, kayla. this is not your 1st munich security conference. you've been attending it for years and as you've watched a lot of developments, they're important developments over the years. how would you describe to this conference in comparison to what you witnessed there before of the look so many

years the urine, europeans have been told, present off the presidents, that they will have to take charge of their own security. and now the day has arrived and there seems to be a collective sock and is somewhat of a disorientation, what that will mean and actual terms. you needs unity and it needs united leadership. and from the conversations i've had here, it doesn't have that right at the moment. spots as the foreign minister of spain puts it in then, or the a panel here today. he said, that's a crises and press a is the european way of doing things. what does that can be? a successful recipe and testing for the trump administration means for europe is an open question. mikaela united. thank you both very much. that was our chief political edison, make it a coastal and our washington bureau chief in his pole in you're

watching the news. well now germany's president frank bothers time are, has expressed shock at a car ramming attack in munich yesterday, saying the brutality of the crime left him speechless. at least 36 people were injured when a 24 year old of 10 man drove the car into a crowd of people at a protest in the city center. police say they suspect and is, is mist extremist motive, but to not believe the suspect is part of a radical net for the mini cooper. the plowed into a crowd in the center of munich is removed from the scene. police are collecting evidence and treating the incident as a suspected attack. around 11 am on thursday. the driver accelerated the vehicle before hitting dozens of people gathered for a trades union rally. some of the victims were sent to be in serious condition. the things colleagues account the perpetrator foods after the vehicle was shot at once,

that the perpetrator was arrested. the detained suspect is an ask in national who's lived in germany since 2016 officials say his asylum request was denied, but he'd found a job and remained in the country. legally. germany's tensor all of shoals condemned what he called the awful attack and promised severe consequences americans. so from my point of view, once again very clearly this paper trade, i cannot count on any mercy. he must be punished and he must leave the country and the chancellor is tough. frederick follows a string of violent attacks involving asylum seekers in germany. it also comes as days before the country snap election with thursdays ramming incident in munich quickly becoming a focal point in the political campaigns. the order we'll know the concerns of many

people, the feelings of the country being threatened from within the door. and i know them to private or you can yeah, i live on to 10 ish, i'll add we have to do something about this and getting broken the far right also seized on the incident and is to see that disclosure, she and it's the same pattern again it's an african who's assign them, application hasn't been rejected. afternoon ford who has been granted tolerated data instead of being deported. as night fell, a trickle of people made their way to the scene of the suspected attack to pay tribute to the injured some left messages on the lanterns, expressing thoughts and prayers for the victims, but also calling for unity and respect for human rights. to take a look at a few other stores making headlines around the world. today, thailand's army has freed 260 people from 20 countries who were forced into working in online scam centers. in myanmar,

the rescue operation is part of the crack down on scam centers. in southeast asia, which often use traffic labor, and then trick victims around the world out of billions of dollars a year at least 6 people have been killed and several others injured after a fire broke out and a luxury hotel in the city of the sun in south korea blazes believed to started in an area on the 1st floor that was under construction. the exact cause has not yet been determined. and the united states, heavy rains across los angeles are threatening to cause land slides and sweep up debris from the areas affected by last month's wild flyers. sand bags and concrete barriers are being distributed in order to stem flooding. north in california is also on flood watches, heavy rainfall continues us present. donald trump says he's preparing broad tariffs on all trading partners of the united states. trump is told his economic

team to devise plans for reciprocal levies on every country. texting us imports, the order would also attack non tear up measures like safety regulations and sales duties such as value added taxes, which increase the cost of product. so here's the present, trump speaking, after you've ordered the new round of terrace and on trade, i have decided for purposes of fairness that i will charge a reciprocal to meaning whatever countries judge the united states of america. we will charge them no more, no less. in other words, they charge us a tax or tear and we charge them the exact same tax or tax. well, even with the threat of tariffs looming, the crisis in germany's automotive sector is deepening portia known for its iron port sports cars, and this gives is planning job cuts portion joins. and already long list of german car makers struggling to stay viable luxury car maker. portia is planning to cut

some 1900 jobs to plants in the region by 2029. the cuts effect the research and development center and vice off as well as the company's main plant. and so for the housing for the $911.00 and the electric tate can levels are produced due to previous job guarantees, portia is counting, at least in part on voluntary resignations. portion would seem turbulent times recently, just like the entire industry, which was once germany strongest sector, difficulties in switching from combustion engine cars to electric vehicles, as well as the increased competition from china have led to revenue and profits dropping across the board. all major german carmakers have reacted by announcing job costs with portions 1900 jobs. on the lower side of the spectrum, volkswagen is proposing cutting 35000 jobs worldwide. mercedes benz wants to cut

its global workforce by 20000. audi is looking to trim $4500.00 german tropes, while multi nationals deland test, which makes opal plants to ex, around $7500.00 around the world. b, m w has no announced any chop cuts, but it says it won't allow taking such action. the future health of german and you are p and carmakers depends on how markets deal with a growing influx of chinese made vehicles. companies like b, y, d, d. the and grateful have managed to under cut competitors prices allegedly, due to generous government subsidies. another factor in determining the sectors future us import tariffs that the trump administration, mike levy complicating german companies, access to another major market. now to the middle east and the militant group from us is expected to name 3 hostages today that it will release this weekend as part

of the ceasefire. deal with israel that has paused hostilities in gaza. the smallest days of uncertainty in which israel threatened to scrap the deal after him, us accused the government, the benjamin netanyahu of failing to live up to its commitments. meanwhile, people in gaza are struggling to survive. is due to body of refuge account in northern garza or what's left of it. one's home to thousands of palestinians. 15 months of is of devastating more have destroyed homes, neighborhoods, nice memories. displaced and exhausted. residents return home with this literally 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 or the top pool and for shelter. when it rained, we drowned in the water. i don't know if it goes to depend on what my husband is.

okay, but i'm just like i did. we are here and we feel very worried. nothing has changed . they said there would be improvement, but we are back to where we started at the beginning of the war. was no food, no water. everyone's survives on canned food and even that it scares the about after the war. this feels like a new war. as you can see, there are no houses in the water. we beg, anyone, please bring us water. a water truck only comes once every 3 days. my point is that the amount of dish on layer, the united nations estimates the clearing the rubble and rebuilding costs that we take years and tens of billions of dollars. and that depends on whether the ceasefire a hostage release agreement even reaches the next phase. this also you as president on the terms con, to reset regardless as 2300000 people to jordan egypt or of the append the u. n.

human rights t says would amount to force of the transfer of the international a slight hold on the spelling of the higher did his job. we only hope that life returns to normal. yeah. the clinic is open again, the okay. 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 to a lot of it. what is the, what we have enjoyed? no one should either experience for a year and 4 months, the world crushed us. we felt dist, approaching every day and thought we would die. the suddenly of uncertainty about the franchise ceased by agreement is looming over the people of garza and the future over which they have religion. se bentley is of as really hostages held in gaza and post indians and just really prisons are waiting to see if their loved

ones will be released tomorrow. a mouse has confirmed. we'll go ahead with saturday as hostage release after earlier saying it would be delayed due to insufficient a being allowed into guys or international red cross is appealed for more private and dignified hand. over after hostages released recently appeared emaciated and were forced to speak to a crowd. the exchange will also see post indian prisoners freed from his rarely prison smart outlets across through dw correspondence. emily guardian, she's in jerusalem. emily, what more do we know about the plan hostage and prisoner releases this weekend? cool, today is essentially another huge test tool, this 30 federal sci fi deal. and it comes as really, as the close of this week restore the. so as far as you know of itself, plunge into causes of to have my finance on monday last it wasn't going to release

the 3 hostages, but that's, it was meant to release on saturday. and now we've heard from them yesterday that they are in fact committed to the deal. and about the 3 hostages that are meant to be released tomorrow will in fact be released now. we all waiting today is the day on which they are meant to. in fact, announced the names of the 3 hostages, that i meant to be released. all of this has caused quite a bit of time all this week with donald trump, himself responding to the announcement on monday, saying that it's full hostages or 17 non hostages weren't released on saturday at noon. and the whole folks deal in and of itself should be scrapped. uh that then lead to reactions from the israeli side. we've somewhat conflicting statements scripts in and of itself, but i'm saying that the fighting and goals i would continue if it's hosted just wouldn't really barebones release as planned. and the 2nd stage was almost consistent when it comes to the number of, of hostages that were meant to be reduced. but what we can gather now from his

reading media at this point is that his role is willing to continue with the sci fi deal. if the release of a 3 set hostages tomorrow goes ahead, now could tarry interruption. mediations have been working hard to solve the issues, especially in life of the allegations. but how must have been making regarding the a but isn't coming into golf. but essentially saying that as well, wasn't honoring its end of the deal saying that's the most enough time. so some of shelter and milton, of heavy machinery was coming into gaza to help clear the level. and i mean, you guys have been working on rectifying this, but ultimately what's we see here and what pursuing this week really is just how fragile the steel really is. and also how difficult it will be to move to move forward to the 2nd stay video. but was meant to see the readings of over 50 more hostages. emily, thank you very much. that update, that was our corresponding with emily or dean in jerusalem.
