seeing about the future of this country, where is the voltage disappearing to river is at risk. the global war surprises unveiled. jobs march 21st on the w, the. this is the w and use 5 from the land. the french president says the trump administration has turned the world on his head and addressed to the nation. a memo of my cause says he once to believe the united states as on site, that once france and you are to be ready to defend themselves. the ways holds intelligence sharing with case it could have a ukraine's ability to target the russian forces and is moped use of to washington post military a to the country breeland's private as to declare as greenland is out of to trump details congress. he thinks the, i think island will join the us one way or the of

the i've been preserving, welcome french president, the memo my cause says he plans to discuss sharing frances nuclear deterrence with its european allies. he made the announcement during a national, televised address to the nation in which he expressed uncertainty over the trans atlantic partnership with the west. as washington moved closer to moscow, he says, a clock. what is it as a new life? i want to believe the us will remain at our side for it, but we also have to be ready if this is not the case. it could be on its way to peace and ukraine is achieved quickly or not. and is it the whole thing? you repeat in states must continued in the face of the russian. you threaten that. i've just described it hooked up capable of defending themselves better and of the tearing any future aggression. whatever happens,

we have to equip ourselves farther and was it could be definitely. i'd like to bring it in now correspond to these louie and paris. so what's the french president's plan? well, president and my, my call was tonight appealing to the french people to change the mindset. you know, he said russia is a clear threat, not in the full ukraine, but also for europe and france, that defense needed to respond to that. accordingly, he was talking about increasing defense capacity in france. you know that there needed to be made sacrifices that money would have to be spend on that. he was also talking about fonts of nuclear deterrent. you know that fonts is one of the only countries in the european union's union to have nuclear weapons. that it becomes easy as a to times ended by my club. has been talking most of the past few days about maybe extending back to town capacity to other countries across the european union. all

this comes ahead of a meeting tomorrow in brussels, with the 27 heads of stage of the european union will come together and are planning to, you know, to determine and to agree on a common statement on a common plan for maybe common spending. and also to provide more municipal weapons who you're trying to stand with she crying in front of the russian aggression as you've some. and then the lead up to that meeting is an interesting one, and i'm on my call has been meeting with henry's prime minister victo autobahn. i would have loved to have been a fly on the wall or absolutely. victor urban is known to be one of the leaders in europe that has a pro. russian stands just as the leader of slovakia for example. and so a mount of my car was trying to meet him was meeting him tonight to try to convince

him to actually agree on that draft agreement that is already circulating amongst your team members a member states. so one point where the hon gary lead to it seems to be disagreeing when it comes to that statement is you know, sending but the, the fact that the aims to send additional ammunition to ukraine. so in my, my class in vice with victoria herb on to night, hoping that he might convince him that he might negotiating with with him, be able to negotiate with him so that he will sign that common statement tomorrow. mind you and my, my call has been advocating for a so called up to the default defense lions that the european union should turn into. and he's now pushing forward for your to build up its own production capacity is when it comes to the defense sector. but he also knows that a, b, b, u is playing for time as for the coming years. they will still need the support of

the us. and that's, as we just heard. also part of the strategy you wants to, you know, convince your team lead us to, to go towards the common defense capacity, but also try to keep the us on board. it is a fine line, really it your is thanks for joining us. that we use leisurely in a french capital well that some of these usually as gets on the way thursday, they'll be debating how best to bolster europe's defenses and increase help to ukraine, who's president thought of me as the landscape will join them out. brussels correspondent and shows bore as more as a visit to not to dom cathedral. an invitation from king charles flattery, europeans hoped, would win. or what donald trump, we already equipment you met our brother. he did exchange, unlike television, between the american and the premium presidents over the weekend. not only

defending the us as a boss to your grade, but also turned into a moment of reckoning for europe. it's time to reorder said, you commission president or slough on the line as allies prepared to discuss a plan that could unlock around 800000000000 euros in defense investments over the next 4 years. we are in an era of we argument and europe is ready to massively boost its defense spending bows to respond to the short term urgency to act and to support ukraine. but also to address the long term need to take on more responsibility for our own european security. the funding for this would come from a shop increase in defense spending by member states, europeans for me to replace over the long term united states contributions to europe and security that include, for example, control and come on equipment,

intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. but that could take a decade to more and terms conditions for the us has continued security umbrella, increased defense, expanded to 5 percent of national g. d. b's is deemed unrealistic. but most of europe in boston, us, the lead us would face sylvia political opposition at home, if they attempt to slash social was that they worked that money to us defense. the european union is trying to take the initiative to bring the member states together and find a way to fund the real moment, but it runs the risk of being seen is to involved extending its reach by members states, believe defense is the responsibility of national governments and then there is victor o'bonham, greece prime minister, so many here in brussel, c, as a trojan horse. during rush as bidding inside the e. u. or bond has often tried to block aid for ukraine, but often relented when the time came to exercise his veto. now as he tries to increase, she had himself president drum,

it could be hawk for europe in leadership to get him to go along. or bond has called on the e, you to follow jumps lead and discuss a ceasefire directly with russia. x. but say that you could still find a way to move forward, even in the face of hungary opposition, but forming a coalition of billing nations on certain decisions, such as sending a degree as well as on the proposal to send your being troops to police a few jump b steel between your green and russia. that mean many instances also in the euro, crosses where europe. and so i've been able to go ahead in smaller groups rather than in the framework. so one way to look at it is to say that the use of binding it's consensus approach. and other way to look at it is to say that the u has always been fairly flexible. in the face of the us as new foreign policy, there is a sense of urgency in europe to ramp up its defense. but if some member states refused to participate, others outside the block can be brought in as partners. no,

we and canada were present at the conference hosted by non you need to amend by the u. k. why is hungry? and sla kabbage is also seen as being soft and russia left out for your up. it's a bio dime ship and it's going to be a massive undertaking. there are no illusions about that. the director of america, the central intelligence agency, john ratcliffe says the you where says paused, intelligent sharing with you, right? the decision cuts key both from the final information about russian movements on the battlefield. it follows the suspension of o u. s. military 8. the key 5 to friday's french's oval office meeting between presidents, trumpets, and landscape us national security advisor mike walls was asked about the pause in a press conference. we have uh, we have taken a step back and or pausing and reviewing all aspects of this relationship. just in the last 24 hours since the public statement from zalinski and then the

subsequent conversations, which i'm going to walk inside and continue. i think we're going to see a movement in very short order. marina we're on is a military expert at king's college fund, and she told us how the loss of us military and intelligence support will change the way you can fax this war. well, i think the most critical right now is the lack of intelligence support because it is not something that the europeans can supplement in a sense that the us military satellites or satellite capabilities across a period through what the europe has and what the u. k. has therefore, even if you're creating hassle weapons, but it will not be able to determine where the targets are. it will greatly affect and intelligent surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. so even if you crane in forces, i'm not going to run out of weapons just now or,

and they munition of course as well. it is not something that you can provide. and then also really important saying all logistics for 8 to ukraine, and i went up just talking us aid, but also european aids, the united states has been providing logistical support for that. so that will have an effect. so i assume that the immediate effect will see when it comes to the lack of intelligence that the ukranian troops see. and only later on, of course, um, bearing in mind that the enemy also has to say is that is to say, depends on how the russians designs are operations. and they might try to push even harder and all knowing the ukrainians will lose this capability. when the ukrainians will run out of amunition at as or 8th of the us supplies, military expert, marina moran from king's college funded. well, donald trump is out of field to the fire over his ambitions for greenland. the

president told congress he reckons the island will end up in american hands one way or the other. for many greenland is the main issue with head of elections next week isn't joining the us. but full independence from denmark. as america is, donald trump reiterated his desire to antics greenland to the us in typically contradictory style. we strongly support your right to determine your own future. and if you choose, we welcome you into the united states of america, but we need it really for international world security. and i think we're going to get it one way or the other. we're going to get it the reason for the sudden interest in an enormous arctic island with just 57000 inhabitants. well there's, it's coveted strategic location. while under the ice ly valuable rear f metals vital for telecommunications as well as billions of barrels of on top of the oil.

denmark illinois to island 300 years ago and still controls that support and defense policies. to greenland has been sent me a ton of us since 1917. i know elections next week we'll see the question of filled greenland independence brought into sharp focus on the elections on the march 11th. that going to be historical? it's very likely that to it will be a process at talking about independence, real independence for the 1st time, or between denmark and greenland, denmark's for administer set. the most important part of trump speech was to respect the island of sovereignty by 2. but they want to lose them, that ties to the market, but i've no idea the that the want to do that in order to, to, to become, you know, an integrated part of america. so we emphasizing what he did the rights with. so

it's, it's amazing. i think what's the most important part of the speech? residents of the capital nuke gave a mixed reaction. this is one way or the other way, going to keep on dreaming on the drum. so you've got the village, so you've got the fluids, you've got everything. i think she didn't get body relented, really tap no more than this homo everything we need we need help. and he might like us to add a lot of taxes here, which would also increase the homeowners here. so it's really we feel like it's a bad idea and we just more want to be like by little i land just more independent than anything else. meanwhile is greenland prepares the votes, the message from its incumbent prime minister is clear. we don't want to be americans nor danes. me to be exit route on facebook. greenland is ours.

that brings you up today to know the international news. i've been puzzling. thanks for watching the w. stay with us. i'll be back next hour. we're going to buy the, we are all set we are watching to see you to bring you the story behind the new the will on about com, biased information for free might say do 10 in good the.
