as the on the everyday things around, where did they come from, how and why did they have all the time? why should we just search for the day and take them out for the business, dw, and it was coming to you live from portland to growing risk between the us and europe over ukraine. take center stage at the united nations. the us breaks breaks with it's your bmw allies voting against a resolution condemning russians invasion of ukraine for us present the minimum i called joins a heated discussion during a white house. this also coming up probably won't take measures to protect its telecommunications infrastructure, suspecting a chinese crude ship of intentionally suffering under c k. and the conservative winner of germany's federal election says he wants to move fast to form

a new government. we take a look at the challenges politically mailed spaces, the hello, i'm terry morris, and thanks for being with us. the united states has split with a tear p and allies at the united nations by refusing to blame russia for its invasion of ukraine. us and france were at odds at the un security council, where the us failed to back a resolution labeling russia as the aggressor in ukraine's war. despite this president trump has again stated, the conflict could end within weeks, and the presence of lensky might be back in washington this week, or next. see dramatic shift in transit atlantic relations at the un security council. for years out of the us has voted in favor of resolutions that take place affirming ukraine's territorial integrity and calling on russia to seize

hostilities to under president donald trump. us is taking a different stance or since it's but the time for russia and ukraine to make difficult choices and, and the fighting is now we call on all other un member states to join the united states in pushing for a durable piece that will bring stability to europe and deter further aggression general us is adopting a neutral stance that does not at right condemn russia, causing a split with a to european allies. but to both the general assembly joined russia, north korea, iran and others in voting against a resolution drafted by ukraine on the 3rd anniversary of moscow's invasions. and let me read 281. let me assure you that ukraine wants peace more than anyone, but not any peace. we must be mindful of the fact that this is existential war.

this is existential wolf, within tide. democratic wrote power, democratic principles, and values. and the russia has repeatedly tried to dismantle these rules, best order, and it was a few to architecture that it is impossible to stop it. the rest of by appeasing it basement doesn't work. the west instead pushed for its own competing resolution named the path to peace port calls for swift and to the war. without naming rushes, the aggressor a, we cranes, european allies, led by friends or proposed an amendment to the us tax. to underline that the conflict was the result of russia's invasion, military operate. as we went through this with the rush, i chose to bring them back to europe. and so, and then over the past 3 years, and i guess russia has been waging a brutal, legal, unjustifiable aggression against ukraine, with a blatant disregard for international humanitarian law. and mindy, how did he barely go pretty popular as you'll see below us, however,

abstained from voting on the amended version of its resolution. and eventually, the un security council adopted washington's original resolution with 10 votes in favor. and 5 extension was a statement. well, us present, donald trump has been focusing on doing a deal with ukraine for minerals and resources. as part of the piece plan he's trying to broker ukraine's present belong to me as a landscape is not yet committed. but donald trump is bullish about his chances of getting so that's the signature presidents owens kentucky may come in this week or next week to sign the agreement we've made a deal was so the agreements they worked on now plus the various other things in here to sign it,

and that would be the conway is our keep correspond as i spoke with him a short while ago and asked him what kind of agreement trump is expecting ukraine's president to sign. so just to be clear, really important, this is about the minerals and not about a potential sci fi or see the jump team has been claiming that it is close to reaching a sci fi deal. but i think that is realistically, still some time off. how this deal is going to look exactly, we don't know it. we know it's gone through several drafts and we've had leaks and we've had people speaking of the record about what was in the, the initial draft really shocked people here in ukraine, but also across europe. they spoke of economic calling nice ation of ukraine by the us. if that were to happen that deal. there was 2 of the hundreds of billions, maybe up to $500000000000.00 worth of money for the us. in this, there was 2 of us are excluding european, another companies basically giving american funds 1st, right of refusal on all these big mineral projects and ukraine. and the other

important thing to remark here is that, you know, it is even clear that there are enough of these minerals that are out multiple at reasonable prices, as has been claimed, is all down to data that is decades old. but certainly this is something that the old trump is going for hard and foster, he's obviously interested and kind of captivated by this idea. and we've just had the ukraine saying, well, you know, let's talk about security too. if you want us to give this, then let's see what this provides you. great. in terms of long term security guarantees. if you're not going to give us nato. and this little to push back from the ukraine side to say simply and you called ask us to pay back stuff that was given said, we're willing to deal with it. we're willing to maybe talk about paying back new aid if you give it to us. but we're not going to just accept everything that we've received so far was alone when actually it was, you know, it was 8 and was stated as a gift. exactly. any, any deal about minerals would be linked to look for ukraine to something regarding security. how likely is it nick,

that the ukranian presence then will go to washington to meet the us present in the coming days? think, terry, we've been hearing about meetings and trips to dc by moving to lensky 4 weeks now and they just haven't happened. i think trump is up to try to tangle. this is a kind of incentivize to try and get lensky to sign on the dotted line. so then scale to see wants to have that handshake and not meeting with trump before teaching does so. but we have seen that while he was lensky isn't gonna assign at any price he's pushed back and pushed back publicly. from now, i'm not so sure that it's going to be, you know, a matter of days. this could take longer and you can't insist on going to let themselves be bullied by washington for now. big, thank you very much. are corresponding in keep nick on. let's catch up on a few other stories making headlines today. french authorities have arrested 2 people in relation to an arson attack on the russian consulate in the city. more say, police say there were 2 explosions after plastic soda bottles were thrown into the

coast guard has detained a chinese crude cargo ship over suspicions. it may have severed an undersea telecommunications cable. the ship, which is registered in tow go, was intercepted between taiwan main island and the outlying penguin islands. taiwan is doherty's have detained a crew members and are investigating whether in nearby under c cable was intentionally caught. taiwan has reported 5 cases of under c cable malfunctions already this year. type pay has raised concerns. the china could damages communications cables in a bit of the blockade or sees the island which beijing claims as the term. okay. you mean dw, correspond to james changers. following the story for us from ty, pay and send us this update. or there's so many details to be on doubts about this particular incidents. but we know earlier time, once co, scott said it had to change this. china link shipped with

a crew members. those were or chinese nationals that was off to this on the see tables at the time when these island offshore islands of pom go, was disconnected. with ortiz, say, communication with that islands would not completely disrupt it off to communications woods of us and redirected through another on the see tables. but congo is really of the size of a lot of these tensions that situated rights in the hearts of the taiwan straits. the narrow stretch of water that separates china and taiwan only a little more than a 100 kilometers in some places. and it's, this is way, you know, the have been increased tensions between china and taiwan over recent years, time one has already reported 5 cases of c cable malfunctions issue. that's up from 3 each last year and the year before. this is often described as being costs of china's efforts to wage what taiwan cools grades on war 5. these all intimidates re

tax except for below the threshold of formal conflicts. but it designed to wear down that taiwan psychologically. china, it's pos is already spoken also about this particular incidence. china is foreign ministry has said this is not a diplomatic issue, and it will not be common thing for the well, here in germany, political parties have been holding meetings with their newly elected representatives following sundays, federal election, replaced match, looked set to become the countries next transfer after his cdcs, you can serve the block one, the election bounces he wants to move quickly to form. the new government is aiming for a coalition with the social democrats, the party of outgoing chancellor. time the demo call different me to the w as chief political editor, me had a cup the is now at the german parliament, the bonus talk. i asked her what pro aggressively like, bounces, making towards forming a new government. well, he's already held tools. he reached out to one of the co leaders of the social

democrats taunts the old off seltz's s p d policy already on monday. so they've held talks already. but 1st of all, he has to work out how to get through the next couple of weeks, which for so it will take to form a new coalition solution that's headed to the top 3 this morning to discuss with car in town. so it would have sold what to do next because the bad news is coming. they can foster both off the campaign was over and people costs the votes. were more outspoken about the huge towns is europe and germany is facing flippity. smith's questioning whether that transatlantic relationship will hold, which also throws into question whether the natives article 5 of assistance actually still applies. so united her, we've been through this 1st gathering of m p. 's many times over. usually it has a feeling of 1st day at school, but it's a lot more serious a lot a lot most done this time around because everyone knows that decisions will need to

be taken even before this newly elect department gave us for the 1st time. and even before floozies mats had time with the social democrats to work out anything like a coalition agreement, became that in germany is under huge pressure now to help boost europe's defense capabilities. now that it feels it can no longer depend as much on the us for security. how is police mounts likely to approach that? that's your, that's the big question. now in there with the 2 options on the table does see, and that is the unprecedented to get the with current sounds. so it would have souls decide to use the old parliament majorities in cool in the last parliament for one last time to get over. the debt break, which is enshrined in the constitution needed to start majority for that because they now face a new reality where in the new parliament they don't have that to serve majority unless they bring in the less spot to even factoring in the greens. so that's

a huge problem that they have and a big overall of, of a reform that's what the social democrats would like to see. but even deciding and there is talk of potentially 200000000000 extra in defense spending. and that could be decided in the new parliament by declaring an exception, if all parties in government agree that they feel that as an imminent threats, that leads to be addressed. so those are the 2 options that are currently being discussed behind coast doors. and that's why the moved here is a lot more serious. and then the other aspect, somebody has to sell this to a public who faced and election campaign that was mainly on migration and the economy. mikaela, thank you very much for now. i was the w as chief political editor mechanic of not down at the german buddhist. the. hi kristen switzerland are taking advantage of a rare chance to explore ice caves formed inside the more garage glacier. the water
