a durable lasting piece. not the kind of piece is going to have eastern europe in conflict just a couple years down the road. the big question is, how would durable piece can be achieved and certainly a piece that ukraine can agree with others. one thing, thanks so much. thank you very much. we're really, what was the need to, to speak for, to work or add to prepare the jobs, how to stop and seniors of work. we want really, we want this word much, but we need a real security guard to use. the security guarantees a key to your paying leaders who are concerned. the trump may give concessions to russia in the attempt to end the fighting concessions at the expense of ukraine. any speech of the munich security conference j. d. vans did level to allay yorba spheres. his main focus was not ukraine. instead, use your being countries of suppressing free speech. i said the main threat to

europe is not russia, but you are up itself. well, thank you. the threat that i worry the most about visa, the europe is not russia. it's not china, it's not any other external actor. and what i worry about is the threat from within the retreat of europe, from some of its most fundamental values value shared with the united states of america, your j events and speed you st. shockley, through your, i brought a strong response from germany. these are, they will cut to democracy, was called into question by the us, vice president for the whole of your body, i can just as the speak, cynthia, naya lation of democracy, democracy and def, i understood incorrectly. he's comparing conditions in pots. if you end up with those, no authoritarian regimes, ladies and gentlemen, that is not acceptable. acceptable. stella good said the munich security conference always expected the trump administration to ask questions of the us european

alliance. now that scratching their heads over what those questions are to get these chief political lender to make a look of new joints. me now for munich, mikayla, a strong answer there from the german defense minister boys. the story is how was that received? well, that was very much welcome to take here amongst european pont is, but it's really not about who wins the rhetorical argument here. it's about what the united states will do next. and most of all how the europeans will respond. and this was also the reaction of the still opposition data for the snap, the data of the conservative policy, who, according to the paulding, is very likely to become the next chance. the next is that will take place here in germany in just 2 weeks time. and he also sold this as an attack on democracy. i thought. so i think it's important to see that this is something i've seen across the board as a public dressing down of what your opinion democracy,

what democracy overall stands for. and i've spoken to people here in the car doors sticky, when you speak to experts on the issue of terrorism, they will say this is take a popular isn't. this is textbook populist theory and questioning democracy also questioning institutions. that was a very crucial point that the funds made, made that, and he's already in question, is how much he really stands for the separation of powers in the united states. only weeks into this administration. let's talk a little bit more about the messaging from washington. how concerned is the german delegation there about the statements we just heard from the us administration? the europeans overall, a very concerned and in fact, so are some members of the us to the case. and this is a conflict that does not between your in the united states is taking place within the united states right now, where there's

a slim majority for the republicans in congress overall. and the big question now is whether the, if with anyone and congress will stands out a to this reading of what democracy is. that if and legal readings don't go the way donald trump wants, whether he has the overall power. also, at over the quotes that would dilute to say the very least, the separation of powers. and that's the big question that united states has. the sofa itself does have recognition here. also amongst members of dedication from the united states. and there's a concern amongst the europeans, how that will translate into concrete policy, not just on defense, not just on ukraine, but also on how much the us both as popular as right wing policies. j. d vons met the leader of the far right. a if the policy in a hotel wasn't invited to the meeting security conference, he made a point that, that the firewall at this refusal to work with the fall rights in germany with at

least by the data of the a. if the is something he is completely against and that is interference in the elections, that's also how the leader of the opposition and the potential feature tons to release mass, put it when i spoke to him, we should be hearing from german transel all of charles within the next 90 minutes or so. what do you expect? well this is the interesting thing um the tanza and his rifle in these elections. they're on the same page on this. the wedding was very similar that came from for these math and science that with us hold. so we sent an ex post who gave an interview last night. and so he wrote to speech and it will be very interesting to hear how far he goes in rejecting this. but he is still in government. he also has to work with this administration for the coming weeks, and they are very crew, 2 weeks into you could decide the fate of ukraine and whether this say, just decide, just over the heads of ukraine and the europeans, that is

a very real political diplomatic struggle that is taking place here in munich, but particularly between those european capitals and forcing tenants on the term precedent mikaela as always, many, many tax as a mouse is set to release 3 more. is really hostages held in the gaza strip the militant groups as it will free 3 men who were abducted from the books close to southern guns or during the tobar 72023 terrorist attacks. israel is scheduled to freedom within 300 palestinian prisoners in extreme earlier this week and most threatened not to release more hostages. st. israel was not allowing promise feed into gaza. earlier we heard from journalists by leaks leading intel aviv on what is really, officials are saying regarding this and next exchange, a name is really a official uh, just uh, issued the statement. and this is

a code name for premiere to send it to me on hold or his. the circle of the statement said that we have working in full coordination with united state to rescue as many hostages alive as possible as quickly as possible. and we attempt to take full advantage of this opportunity after that options are open. why is this message coming good right now? because the, the premises office came into the backlash earlier today because they released the statements saying that the less that's a must have given is the accepted by as well. something that the scores doesn't a gets along with the statements that we've seen throughout this week. the were saying that all the $911.00 hostages should at least by saturday, and then even a saying that all the hostages should be released by saturday. otherwise, hell will break out just like drunk. has this said later on the statement was deleted and the instead of it,

it was written that instead of the wording and the list is accepted in, but as well it should have been written. the lesson was accepted in as well. in other words, as well, did not still med decide what it's going to happen after the release. to choose a brief look at more stories making headlines. at the moment supporters of the lebanese militant group has ball. i have attacked a convoy of united nations peacekeepers heading to be rude. airport one u. n. vehicle was torched and the outgoing deputy commander of the unit, phil mission, injured pro. his bowl. the protesters have blocked roads to be rude, airport, after 11 on for vented to run in plains from landing there. ukraine says a russian grow and has drunk feature, noble nuclear power plant. the weapon penetrated the facilities protective outer shell and started to fire. the winds at tonic energy agency said radiation levels remain stable. the kremlin has denied keeps claims that it carried out to strike
